Hey guys

I've been silently following this board for a long time. Today I received an email from the Home Office confirming that they've granted me Leave to Remain for 2.5. This was in response to an email I sent to their complaints mailbox over the delay. I applied in June 2017 as Parent of British Child. I had been an overstayer since March 2005!

I'm so Happy. God is great!!!

For those of you still waiting, hang in there, you're next in line.

pls what is this complain mailbox address i submitted since march 2017 and no word till now

Hi guys, I finally got my visa after 10 months wait... timeline below

Applied Flr fp in July 2017
Biometrics enrolled in August
Sent baby’s bc in September
Passport requested by home office in Oct
Decision made in May 2018

For those waiting just continue praying, nothing is impossible for God, I was advised by one of the moderators that my visa will be highly unlikely because I live with my partner and we don’t have 2 years proof of cohabitation, but God is wonderful! He makes way where there seems to be no way..... I’m finally relieved!!!

Same as me I applied in April and after the Biometric in may , I have not heard from them, maybe the same lazy case worker is dealing with our files

[Londoner007]

That's a very long time. Did you not enquire regarding its progress.

I did, the only thing they have been saying it hasn't been completed

[Londoner007]

In that case you will just need to wait.

I believe so ..... I applied March 30th 2017 did biometric April 23rd and since then it’s been no response .....

I think if they see any kind of merit in the case they make them wait otherwise they send refusal within 5 to 6 months but we just saw recently few people's in this forum waited more than 15 months then got refusal but still they got in country right of appeal which is quite big thing nowadays so we are still lucky in some sense that we have a chance to regularise ourselves in this country and enjoy our family life that's what we choose to do in our life.i know the "wait" is very hard but we will go through with this sooner or later.

Well . I think waiting time means nothing . do you know what " merit in the case " for flr fp applications mean ? On my point of view anyone applying on human right basses has a merit . Can you explain what do you mean with " merit in case " please ?

Me too i think the weight different even applying all under human right ground. My daughter took six week to decide and it was decided by one person but me and partner almost five mth and it was decided more than one person means our case was looked more than one person like it was not straight forward, our daughter its was straight forward.

Merit in the case means as we all know there are so many peoples who put their flrfp application just to gain the time whether it's their long residancy and few months short or just to put anything in form of flrfp even they don't have any ties inside united Kingdom but having said that there are so many applicants who have genuine relationships,they have families kids etc or same sex couples who are really gonna suffer if they go back to each other countries.so all these applicants have real merit in their flrfp application whereas those who just buy a time in the name of human rights and make a big backlog for genuine applicants and then home office put everyone in the same basket.

I have gained invaluable information on this forum and thought this success story might give someone hope:

Today my husband's FLR FP partner route was approved at a premium service appointment

his last application for leave to remain was refused in Jan 2018 after his previous marriage broke down and his wife denied access to their baby. Even with a court order the home office denied because his ex-wife took him through hoops in the court system when he applied for an enforcement of the contact order. she even lied about violence to acheive a temporary restraining order without him being present but it was later denied an extension by the family court judge who said there was no justification for it.

I have to be honest and say that it felt like the home office and later on appeal judge sided with her as their citizen. they refused to acknowledge the timeline of events that took place and instead emphasized the temporary non-molestation order that she obtained - she only filed for a restraining order a few days after my husband filed for a divorce and the enforcement of the contact order that she breached in 2016

my husband represented himself at the FTT and I was his witness - the appeal judge told us that he could not consider our recent marriage because the home office argued that our marriage was new information and that his FLR FP application was considered as a parent and not as a spouse because we were only living together for 2-3 months in 2016 when the application was first lodged.

that being said, the home office was aware of our relationship in the 2016 application because all the documents at that time were in our shared address and I provided him with a letter of financial support including payslips, p60s and bank statements - the letter also included our intent to marry after his divorce was final

the judge said that he could only consider my husband's appeal as a parent and not as a partner. i knew this to be an error in law but could say nothing in the hearing because i was not allowed. of course his appeal was dismissed because they did not accept he had a relationship with his now almost 3 year old son. How can he build a relationship if the mother breached a court ordered contact order and then files a restraining order? after being in court for almost 2.5 years consecutively fighting tooth and nail for his right to be a part of his son's life - he eventually gave up.

I think what frustrated me the most was the fact that the judge lied in his dismissal document! After telling us in court that he could not consider our marriage he then went on to say in writing that he asked home office for permission to consider our marriage to which they said yes but he decided our marriage was neither genuine nor subsisting! it went on for pages for his bogus reasoning but in the end we know what he said in the FTT hearing and what he wrote in his decision after were completely different things.

All the same we thank God that we were able to get a premium service appointment in less than 1 week of receiving the appeal dismissal and the home office have now accepted our marriage as legit because he was granted 2.5 years on FLR FP Partner 10 year route

I hadn't planned on typing all this but I just wanted to encourage anyone else out there in a similar situation that it is possible (please include faith and prayer)

his timeline as follows:

tier 5 migrant leave expired 28/02/2014
applied FLR FP (ex-wife) 27/02/2014 (did not meet financial requirement)
refusal 24/5/2014
appeal rights exhausted 31/7/2015 - he separated from his ex-wife in Oct 14
child born 28/6/2015

FLR fp parent route applied 15/2/2016
we started living together Mar 2016
flr fp returned as invalid 28/6/16- solicitor used an old form (fee was refunded) - resubmitted 1/7/16 (did it ourselves)
refusal rec'd January 2018
new marriage January 2018 (HO did not contest marriage)
appeal dismissal letter FTT 29/5/2018

FLR FP granted partner route premium service appointment 05/06/18

I really hope this helps someone that it can be done!
I'm thinking of speaking to a lawyer about the ftt's judge dishonesty

ps - we did not use any solicitors
