OLD FLR(M) waiting times Thread

[Maliksahb]

Hi guys

I applied my wife's FLR(M) mid way through I am waiting for my ILR 10 yrs
application.

I didn't send my docs back and I got my wife's FLR(M) approval within 3 weeks after I got mine

I called UKBA and they said their systems will alert the caseworker whose handling the FLR(M) that my SET(O) application has been approved


So you don't need to send them back the docs.... the only think you need to do is make sure your SET(O) reference number is correctly written on the FLR(M) application and good cover letter for FLR(M) application.
And if sending them both at the same time make sure you write a good cover letter with all relevant details of the SET(O) applicant


Well.. give them a call if your not convinced and but if your sending the original docs, do send them to correct address. please cross check with other sources... some of the UKBA customer service agents have a proven track record of being dump shit.

Half the time they will give you incorrect advise. and that's been proven time and time again

I have attached a covering letter so hopefully everything will work fine. Did UKBA post back your applications together or your received ILR first and then after three weeks FLR (M)?

Hopefully I will get my family member's FLR soon...When my ILR was approved, the UKBA sent me all my original documents back. I thought they might not need it as the UKBA has already checked it however when I called UKBA, the lady put me on hold and told me that she has spoken to the case worker and they would need all my original documents back along with my passport so I don't know if it's only in my case..
Anywayyy hope for the best.............

hi I am still waiting for nearly 12 months now and no answer from my MP or HO. I want to ask 2weeks ago I took my children from school and the teacher came to tell me that they done DNA taste for my triplets two identical girls and one boy and the result show two identical DNA and the boy is deferent because he a boy . Yesterday I ask anther mum at the school if they did it for her boy she told me No . So I told my husband about it and he said maybes the HO want to know if they my children or not .because the school normally they make us singe for any things and the children just 6 years old so they don't remember anything .maybe they want to make Tarbell between me and my husband or what . Thanks for read it.

I want to ask 2weeks ago I took my children from school and the teacher came to tell me that they done DNA taste for my triplets two identical girls and one boy and the result show two identical DNA and the boy is deferent because he a boy

Did you or your partner gave consent to do this? Read Consent and the use of DNA

no She just came out of the class room smiling and told me that they did for them DNA and what is the result.

[Damanisshallo]

Now, If I were you, I wouldn't sit back and assume this could be relating to the UKBA App. Which I bet it isn't. You should ask for an explanation from the school. (I Hope this was a drill and not an actual DNA Test)

What should the public do if they think the law has been broken?

In most cases it is illegal to carry out DNA testing, including paternity testing, without consent. Members of the public should contact the police if they suspect the law has been broken.

Thanks for tell me that I will speak to my husband about that thank you again .

They first sent my ILR and then the FLR(M) in three weeks time..


My My My... what's the DNA for... I think Damanisshallo is right... you shouldn't sit back... there is no way that's related to UKBA...

even if it is related to UKBA you might as well find it out... do go and complain to the police and seek an explanation from the school

yup that's true that they shouldn't take or hold DNA test or complete finger prints with out consent and without being a relevant body (organisation).

Please let us know what happened.. this is really strange and interesting...

[LJLASY]

We just warred if they want me to be in bad position ,or say she didn't told me that so will be my word front of her word and I will be the one making problem. The twain girls one got epilepsy and the other one got mild to moderate ataxic cerebral palsy and the school very good with them and they love the school . I don't upset them if anything happen . What do you think . Thanks .

[Damanisshallo]

@LJLASY, I am not an expert but I am only concerned about the unauthorized tests. Also you've said your children know the results and that your son's DNA doesn't matches with your girls(I hope this is wrong). What impact would this leave on them when they grow up. [After 2 decades I can still remember what I did when I was 6] Try to put them at ease and pretend as if this was a Joke.
Hope you'll figure out what this mess is all about.

Thanks saanju9. I got my ILR yesterday and now waiting for my wife FLR M.

[saanju9]

LJLasy =

Why don't you have a casual talk with the teacher or someone.. and pretend that you don't know anything about consent and just ask them what was the result first of all and why was the result like that.. then ask them what was the reason they had the tests done (just say were they suspicious of health of the children, or have they observed any syndromes or something in those lines)..you will know the score by this time.. then you can take relevant action

[LJLASY]

Hi .. I spoke to school today what happen is they got science day about evidence and they learn about finger print is not matching so they took my triplets as example the boy got different fingerprint than the girls bout the very rear thing that my twain girls got the same fingerprint so is the same DNA but they didn't done the DNA for them . they visit by forensic evidence. thank you all .

Hi guys,
Is there anyone here who can give me some advise on the following issue:

I have applied for my ILR along with my wife's FLR(M) on June 2012' I have got my ILR back around 1 month ago but they haven't send my wife visa yes. When we call UKBA they say her application is still outstanding but that they sent all her documents back in error. I am not sure what I need to do now I don't want to send back all her documents without any confirmation from them.
Please help me in this matter if you can.

Thank you.

In your case because you are settled now so your spouse need IELTS or ESOL.
Requirements are.
Your 6 months bank statements with balance 800 for you +500 each dependent.
Evidence of cohabitation e.g. you are living together like tenancy agreement etc.
6 month pay slips.
donwload FLR M guide and everything will be clear to you.
She may switch her visa as ILR dependent but in case of extension any one can apply only 28 before. She can give exam anytime as IELTS is valid 2 years and can be use more then 2 years as well. 28 days restriction is for submission of application and does not apply in English test case. Test can be given anytime.

Hi,

I had same case that i sent my and spouse visa to ILR and FLR M, I got my ILR previous week with some documents back and also with a letter from UKBA inwhich they said your remaining documents have sent to FLR M dept for your spouse visa. After three/four days i got my wife FLR M with rest of the documents.

If they have sent all documents back as mistake then ask UKBA either you need any document or not But generally if UKBA need any document then they will write to you and of course this will take time. If you want to save time then call or write to FLR M.

[mer3090]

Thank you for your reply.

I have been waiting for more than 1 month and there is not sign of any letters, I have called them they said that my wife application is still outstanding. Her passport and all her documents are with us now.

Do you know the UKBA address which deals with FLR(m)??

Tony : you need to change as soon as possible but I don't think there is any time restriction.

1. you can try trinity college test which you can get slots soon and its very very easy..
2. If she is a graduate and the course is in English that can solve your problem
3. Can you tell us more. What visa is she previously or currently on.. when was she first granted with a dependent visa. how long is she in this country..

Coz sometimes you may convince them to grant a ILR without FLR(M) (although this depends on PURE LUCK)... give us some more details

4. your financial requirements also depends on the answers you give to above question

[SGP2103]

Hi All,

Apologies if this question has been asked and answered many times before (I know it has been but I'm still confused!) and this is not the right forum.

I recently obtained my ILR under the 10 year long stay and was previously on PSW. My wife was a PSW dependent since 17 June 2011 and her visa expired on the 17 May 2013 . If I understand correctly, she was 1 month short of completing the 2 years period to qualify for ILR given that she was granted leave to remain before the 9th of July 2012?

We've therefore sent her FLR(M) by post on Friday (17th). However, some people (including lawyers) are now advising us to wait for the reference number and payment to be taken from HO and then switch the application directly to SET(M) given that by that time she will be within the 28 days period and qualify for ILR.

Is this correct? What's the risk?

Please advise.

Many thanks,

SGP
