Hello everyone I have a question. I am due to apply for my extension in a couple of months. I am on an FLR FP 10year route based on British partner and child. I just want to know if it's possible to go for the 5yrs route because me and my partner have been together for yrs but not officially married in the court. Can i still apply for the 5yrs route when i want to renew my visa and whats required for the 5yrs route. Thanks

I applied (first application FLR FP overstayer British child and partner) on 26/05/2020 and received an email on 06/06/2020 asking me to Scan/take a photo of my docs and email them to an SSC-FHRU home office email address. They also offered me to send my documents by post if I was unable to email. They also asked for me to post my passport to them. So I think you should wait to be contacted that’s if you haven’t been contacted since.
Please let me know how you got on cos I’m still waiting too for possible biometrics and approval by God’s grace. Good luck x

With the backlogs and deluge of new applications that the HO is currently dealing with, no one can give information of how long it may take.

I have received decisions for FP applications made just before lockdown. The HO have totally by-passed Sopra Steria for these and asked me to email the documents to them directly. They are also reusing biometrics details.

Congratulations. Reuse of biometrics they have on file becoming frequent now.

Brilliant news. I will be submitting my switch for FLR FP to FLR M tomorrow after I get my bank statement stamped. I have seen on the flash message on the UKVACs site that they are processing June applications so hope for a speedy decision. Glad they have resorted to a email based document system

I remember a 10kg bundle being sent to the home office 4 years ago in the first application. Those were the days. Helpful board members. All the best. Will update timelines once I get some headaway.

Hi Forum,

My FLR FP Application parent of 2 British Kids has now taken 1year and 1 month with no reply. Is there anything I can do at all.. Not sure if contacting MP has historically been effective. I just keep checking the post all day long. It's really worrying.

Hi there, we both have same application and my application has been with the home office for 1year 6 months. I can understand your frustration... with prayers we shall get there. Did they say your application was complex ? bcos that's what I was told.

Hi mate,

Have you heard any news yet. Still waiting over here though. Wishing for the best still.

Hi,

I finally received a letter on 18/08/20 asking me to book an appointment for biometrics which I booked over the phone and attended on 20/08/20.
I am just waiting for their decision now.

[moshoodo123]

You should receive your decision by email one week after biometric.

regards

Hi everyone，I submitted online application and paid the fees 10 days ago. But On the page it said the appointment unavailable to book. Does anyone know how and where I can upload/submit my documents? Shall I wait for their emails and how long it will take to receive the email? Thanks.

If you took the time to read the forum topics and the UKCVAS updates, you will see that there are delays and they are doing biometrics in phases.

Registered with UKVCAS in August?
If UKVCAS received your application on or after 15 August 2020, you won’t be able to book an appointment at the moment. This is because UKVI are assessing which customers are eligible for biometric reuse and the IDV app.

For those of you who applied between 1 – 14 August 2020, we will be sending you an email to outline next steps. This will let you know if you are eligible to use the IDV app or whether you need to book a UKVCAS appointment.

Watch out for an email called; ‘UKVCAS - book an appointment now’ by 27 August 2020

If you are eligible for the IDV app, the email will be called; ‘Introducing the UKVCAS IDV app’ and will have instructions for next steps and will arrive by 30 August 2020.

For customers who applied from 15 August 2020, we will be in touch as soon as possible after UKVI update us about your application.

Hi CR001, but I couldn’t create an account on UKVCAS website. Could you let me know how to create an account for document uploading? Will I receive email with instructions? Thanks.
