Finally got my visa extension approval. Thanks for forum people who answerd my query.
It was almost 1.5 year effort.
First application was in june 2016.
Refused in feb 2017.
AR appliend in Feb 17 refused.
Fresh application applied in 31st March 17.
Biometric letter received after 1month.
Complex letter received 1st week may.
Last update 3rd may awaiting decision.
I start Chase MP in 25th september once 6 Months nearly completed to my application.
My Mp ring to Home office and he got reply my application checks are continue and not completed.
Last week i ring to Home personal ask status of my application they confirm that they will ring me in 5days. Today was 5th day.
Last week i got email from home visa is under process.
Today 1/11/17 I got confirmation through my solicit that he got visa confirmation letter from Home office.
Its great day for me and my family , my mother who waiting for decision since last 2 years.
I can't tell how i bear this 1.5 year time and i can feel pain of wait is disease.
My suggestion here is please prepare and check your case documents before in time and go through it as per guideline. My solicitor who applied first extension application of jun2016, she done silly mistake she not submitted director loan and i totally depend on her expert.
My all documents are same as many other member submitted ,Again Please spare time for for your application, don't rely just on solicitor no matter how clever , expensive and popular reputation of your solicitor.
Good luck all of you.
