I have been reading different cases and learnt from most of them(good or bad).
This is a post to also share my good news and to encourage everyone still hoping to hear positive news.Stay hopeful and be positive,there is always a light at the end of every tunnel and remember delay isn't denial.
My case has been very long and tough but finally won the battle.
My "actual"FLR/FP application that was granted took exactly 5months to get back.(though my family started as asylum seekers in 2011,and got several refusals and removal directions,flight booked to return back to Home country,several refused appeals or rights to Upper tribunal).
My solicitors were almost certain this last application was going to be refused as we have had back to back refusals since since.The idea was to keep applying until my 5yr old child turns 10 in 5years
I mean it's been rough but there goes my brief history in case there is anyone in similar situation.
I had been coming with my family on visit visa but stayed back in 2011(so kids born outside the UK have been here 7years,5months at d time of the FLR/FP application
I have 4 kids- 3 born outside the country 1 UK born
Postal application done 15/06/2018
I didn't check if it was delivered or not even though I could have,I just decided to just let things take its course.
