A hearty congrats GodGives. A huge step forward to getting the justice that is entitled to you. Seem like home office caseworkers don't want to be seen issuing visas anymore. They are now allowing courts to make that decision and thank God the Judges are seeing the light. I can see you sharing that testimony that your appeal was allowed. Amen.

If the date Losing party had to appeal against the decision of Immigration Judge has elapsed the HO cannot appeal again ,all you need to do is to wait for re enrolment of biometric or BRP

Check date on your determination letter from Court

Since then, I have not made any application due to limited funds. My partner has legal status based on pending application on FLR O discretionary leave since Dec 10, 2014. He has not had any response since Biometric was done Dec 17, 2014.
Today, the home office came to our house and after interrogation served me IS96, took finger prints and photograph. They asked that my husband seek solicitor advice. We have a 5 year old child born in UK and has never left the country who is seeing speech therapist due to delayed speech. A copy of his birth certificate was also taken and he has never been included in any of our previous visa application. Am expected to report on Friday at immigration center (Myself Only).
Please what do I expect from the immigration center and What is the best option available to us now? Thanks In Advance.
Just an update on my status.
I reported at the immigration center as requested and was advised to put in an application before my next report date 2 weeks time. Please is FLR(FP) the right application in my situation or is there any other application that will be appropriate. Thanks.

hello guys

please help me out with this query

my husband applied for his ilr based on 10 years in october last year and he got his approval in the first week of feb. i applied for my flr fp in november last year and requested the home office to hold on until they decide my husbands case. my query is that how long will it take for them to decide my application? will my time starts from the day i applied or from the day my husband got his result? please advise

we applied for my flr fp because we couldn't satisfy income of 18600 so we applied under private life category

thanks

I can now safely say that i took the bull by the horns and made a few burgers and t/bone steaks out of it. Lol!!!

Background to the issue is that i called the amoebas yesterday and they told me that post is on my way to myself via 2nd class. To be honest, i didn't sleep the entire night. In the morning, postie time, the doorbell rang and a courier delivered some envelopes for me. Lo and behold , the BRP arrived before the decision.

I am so grateful to the Almighty for keeping his promise to me and he has fulfilled that promise. I thank you all my brothers and sisters for the love and support throughout the struggle. I know the struggle for some of my forum family still continues but when an injustice becomes law, resistance surely becomes a duty. Please don't give up.

The amoebas gave me the usual 30 months but i don't have any restrictions, so in essence i have recourse to public funds.

I don't know what to say but i would like to thank you all my forum family for the love and the advice that you have given me.

Dear fellow members,

I have sent my wife flr fp application today. she has overstayed for almost 7 months. we had our first baby in december. She is from pakistan and arrived in uk as student 5 years ago. I am british and my baby is british as well. Apart from her being overstayer i fulfill all other requirements e.g Income, accommodation etc.
We have argued in application that why it will not be reasonable for myself and my baby to relocate to Pakistan with my wife.Reasons include i have never lived in Pakistan and have no immediate family living there, Pakistan is not a safe place to live for my child with current situation of law and order , insufficient health facilities, less to no opportunities of work related to my work skills etc.

But after reading this thread i have very less hope that her application will be successful on first occassion and it looks like it will be a long legal battle with home office.

Many Thanks

Thank you, the home office are arguing that they didn't receive some evidence that the judge allowed to be sent later, but my lawyer has the proof of postage to them. I'm worried that the court date is so soon, don't know if this is a bad thing or not
