I have prepared myself on the timescale of this application, but its bothering me still and losing my patience waiting for the result. Its 6 months now, and still no response from HO yet. I would appreciate if someone could tell me how many months roughly on the waiting time. Hi thanks for replying and sharing to us your case , well i just hope that my timescale will not take 5 years as my case is different from you. I did not overstay on purpose, as i renewed my visa before it runs out though it has been returned and invalid application twice due to their administrative error and on my 3rd application they refused. Unfortunately, i couldnt go back home from the time i was refused as i was preganant and it was a mutual decision for me and my bf to stay and give birth here as we do believe there are other ways that we could sort out my visa, and fingers crossed they will grant me the dicretionary leave as i already establish a family life here.nassarmk wrote:HI there: when I get marrige from British citizen I wos overstayer that time. saw I have to waititng to 2 years for Appling take 5 years toget discretionary leave
Thank you so much, this is a helpful one and gave me an idea on the timescale. I think, the one who was saying it took him/her 5 years to wait for the outcome is quite unbelievable. I am confused either, as he/she said it was 4 weeks, so which is which? 4 weeks/ 5 years? But anyway, much appreciated for helping out and making things clear for me.justice12 wrote:you can read this about that guy, till his last comment,cherize wrote:Hi thanks for replying and sharing to us your case , well i just hope that my timescale will not take 5 years as my case is different from you.

Your case is entirely different from mine, i applied FLR(O) under HUman Rights/ Discretionary Leave under Human RIghts article 8 as i have an 8 months old babywith a British National here . I have never breach the law since i was refused as i stopped working since then.nassarmk wrote:......hi.its 2 times .you have to complete 6years OF Dlr to appliy ILR...saw 3 years DLR + 3years FLRO& than (SET O )for settlmentcherize wrote:I am quite confused with his application, first it was DLR and then FLR (O) ? is it not just the same?justice12 wrote:because you did not do anything about it !!! thats way they took 5 years, i beleive if you could done something about it mybe involving your local MP or wrighting some letters that would make it less than 6 month !!! even tho 6 years ago used to be a backlog the HO used to take ages but no 5 years !!! tha's just no worth it.nassarmk wrote:......justice12 yes I KNow that but this the HO way to make applicant fedup & return back home..am here 14 years ago & Appling for ILR send 16 weeks ago...
we are in the seem situationHi Justice 12 and Cherize, i think i understand where nassarmk is coming from and i guess you all are on the same boat. This is because it was very difficult to get discretionary leave years back once you have overstayed, and so it was very long and frustrating, HO decided cases the way they liked plus backlog. But these days, with case laws such as ZH Tanzania e.t.c. especially with children involved, the HO decide these cases quicker. Don't worry too much Cherize, you will get a favourable decision soon. But don't get disappointed if you get 3years DL, to renew for another 3years. That is what they give if you have overstayed even for 1week. Good luck to you both.justice12 wrote:my daughter she is 8 month toocherize wrote:Your case is entirely different from mine, i applied FLR(O) under HUman Rights/ Discretionary Leave under Human RIghts article 8 as i have an 8 months old babywith a British National here .

Hi, yes i do understand where nassarmk is coming from! I couldnt avoid worrying at times though i have strong faith to my solicitor. Its difficult what my family and i are going through these days but i just hope HO will give a favourable decision so we could go on with our lives as a family here. Of course, i will never be disappointed if they will grant me a 3 yrs DL, all i needed now is for my status to be legalize here, thats what really matters!GLH2012 wrote:Hi Justice 12 and Cherize, i think i understand where nassarmk is coming from and i guess you all are on the same boat.
