Hi Guys
I just want to share my situation here as well.
-Jul-16 Sent ILR application in with tax amendment
-Dec-16 Received HO letter saying it’s complex and decision is delayed, meantime, my husband got his ILR in Nov-16 via premium service ( he also had tax amendment, but I think he was lucky and he got his ILR on the day and they did ask him if he has paid tax which he did, so he showed him the proofs)
*some of you might ask why didn’t I do as dependent with my husband together..?* the reason was because my T1g expired in Jul-16 and his in Nov-16, due to the time gap, I wasn’t able to apply as his dependent…. Hence why the long wait for me started since……..
-Mar-17 I received questionnaire regarding the self-employment income.. completed and sent back to HO asap.
-Oct-17 Again HO sent letter saying complex and decision cannot be made
-Oct-17 I met local MP and he sent a letter to HO. But to be honest, there was no differences and nothing has changed.
-Dec-17 I decided to switch to my husband dependent under FLR(M) and sent all the necessary documents.
-Jan-18 HO ILR team refunded me the ILR application fee£1,875 and started processing my FLR(M)( obviously I paid for the FLR(M) fees I think it was £900+IHS surcharges £600)
At the moment, the only thing makes me a bit “positive” is they at least refunded me the ILR application fee since they haven’t made any decision
I haven’t received any update for my FLR(M) yet, but HO has sent me letter to say they have received my FLR(M) application and it’s under process, decision will be made within 8 weeks unless otherwise.
I will definitely let you guys know the update..(hopefully, they don’t come up with complex issue again as I think the FLR(M) is much straightforward)
