OLD FLR(M) waiting times Thread

are you supposed to get a stamp in the passport, or is it only the BRP that is your evidence?

Hi babymama,
I submitted my FLR (m) extension on 09/09/2015
Submitted my biometric on 18/09/2015
its 7 weeks now and I am still waiting for my documents to be sent back to me.

I noticed you sent your application 4 days before mine, have you received any update

Yes, i did apply early September. The funny part is that I didnt get my biometric letter early enough. I had to call them on the 6th of Oct to request for one and was told it would take 15 working days. I got my letter on the 22nd, dated 21st. I submitted the biometric details on the 24th. So I have no idea how long I have to wait any longer as this is the 8th week since applying. I am guessing it would be early next month or so, not sure.

I also noticed you received your biometric letter on 18th Sept. I was told i was sent one on the 18th as well but i never received it. Was your letter from Sheffield as well?

Hi baby mama, yes i received my biometric letter from home office case working team in Sheffield on 17/09/2015 and I submitted my biometric on 18/09/2015. Hopefully a decision will be made soon.

Exact timeline for my wife's FLR M too, still waiting. I will dafoo give them a call on Wednesday.

Guys, I believe the 8 weeks timeline is from the date of acknowledgement not from the date of application.
In the acknowledgement letter it clearly says may take up to 8 weeks to process. I would say its better to wait for 8 weeks from the date of acknowledgement .
