An update on our situation. I have received a rejection letter for our reconsideration request today and I would like some advice on taking the next step. I did plan on going the SS route but with the high number of refusals I'm not sure its worth pursuing if we get stuck there. I would rather my wi...
When my wife's FLRM application was refused a few months ago they returned all documents except the passport therefore you have nothing to worry about.
Bear in mind they won't return your passport if they refuse your application.
I want to add. When my solicitor was pressing the tribunal to get the right to appeal, in one of their refusal letters they stated that we should put in an Human rights application. It seems strange for them to say that when I have not used the option of JR. Now my thinking is that ECH court may sti...
I was considering filing an application to the European courts of human rights but I decided not to and wait for the outcome of my reconsideration request.
I'm a little confused with the process, who is the main applicant ie the EU citizen or the Non-EU spouse?
Has anyone asked their MP to refer their case to the parliamentary ombudsman? It should get things moving a lot quicker as well as giving them a grilling. There is no excuse for HO to provide appalling levels of service like this.
I would put in a complaint to Home Office and wait 20 working days to receive a response. If you've not heard by then or are not satisfied with the response then contact your MP and ask him/her to put in a complaint to the Parlimentary Ombudsman. I'm in a similar situation with my reconsideratiion r...
Just out of interest I tried to contact the EU Commission to find out what was happening in regards to the "centre of life rule" and I received the following response from their enquiry centre. From the reply I received I'm assuming this is a matter of courts in the UK to push the Home Office to com...
Ok - but that doesn't change the earlier advice. If you go down the Singh route, with the rules in place as they are, the only way to challenge them is through appeal - which (depending on how the Home Office are feeling) could be many many stages. By the time you get to the other end you're STILL ...
Have we evidence that it has been successfully challenged? Somebody did challenge it and and wrote to the EU commission who wrote a letter back to them saying it was unlawful and not compatible with EU law and that they are starting infringement proceedings against UK. People who are effected by th...
If say my wife was granted discretionary leave would we then be able to apply for spouse visa? Why would you think she'd get DL? I was looking into what circumstances they grant DL and medical reasons were mentioned on there therefore its likely. I'm still hoping they grant FLRM as we had exception...
I agree with MPH80 regarding the discretionary leave. I can't see that an FLR(M) application would have succeeded as there was no valid leave to extend. If you have genuine reasons for the delay and they accept it then I don't see any reason why FLRM can't be granted even though there is currently ...

Working for 6 months is not an issue and I'm confident I would be able to find work but the more less time we could spend there would have been better. In regards to FLR FP what I meant to say was when it is granted and we get the passports back and my wife travels to Brussels with me, can she still...
I've been reading into the Singh route recently on the free movement website and its states that the "centre of your life" rule is not compatible with EU law therefore the EU commission will be conducting infringement proceedings against the UK. So I'm assuming this will rule will be void soon? You ...
In the event that our reconsideration is accepted and they offer discretionary leave or we have to do FLR FP 10 year route to settlement, could we go down the Surinder Singh route or would this not be an option?
Hi MPH80 My wifes visa expired on 10th January 2014 and we didn't put in an application for FLRM extension till March 12th and received refusal decision on 29th April. They refused the application soley on the fact that we didn't apply in time. My request for a reconsideration was made on 15th July ...
My wifes FLRM was refused back in March as we applied late due to an issue with not meeting the requirements for ILR in time. My solictor had been trying to see if the courts would reverse their decision and issue the right to an appeal with no avail. I applied for an in time request for reconsidera...
