i dont know yet we stil havent got the reasons yet only found out the decision on the phone. even if they dont give the right of appeal the lawyer will make an appeal. because its just stupid to refuse a person who is under 25 and born in this country. and have spent majority of the life here. seems like the heat is getting to the ukbas head

Hi ali90

Sorry for refusal news.How long your sister is residing in uk. UKBA meant to grant her leave under 276ade.
she has been residing here since 1993 ( her birth) till now only went out of country for 3 years. the fact that when they asked for more documents they didnt ask for anything about the period before those 3 years makes me think that the caseworker completely ignored that period. she is 20 soon so she been residing her for nearly 17 years

I can't believe your sister got refused. That's crazy....I hope she gets a chance to appeal, hopefully your mp made a mistake because you haven't receive any refusal letter yet.

Congratulations to those who were granted.
@ Ali sorry for Ur sisters refusal. I think its because of that three yrs gap out of the country. Once u leave and come back they count from when u arrive here. It's silly but that's how its counted. But the caseworker should have consisted other things though. My mp informed me of my refusal not my solicitor. Your mp is prob right

She can appeal or she used the T form route,because these caseworker don't know anything about the law.

Sorry for your sister's refusal. You are right 12 years is more than half her life and she should have been granted based on those 12 years alone. I bet the case worker just saw the 3 year break and did not bother to take the 12 years into consideration. Your sister should appeal. All the best.

Don't caseworkers consider taxpayers money aswel when they making these decisions because most of these cases will be won on appeal.

Am eager to know what the refusal says. Please share it. The caseworker hasnt considered she has lived half of her life and under 25. Even for mu case they didn't consider a lot of things. This is ridiculous its a mistake. Anyway remember there was a girl here few weeks ago same thing happened but after few weeks of sending a refusal they then sent a letter that she has been granted.
Godgives

Father took us out of country and back and most likely on different name but I don't think we have told them even if they know it should come under exceptional circumstances as was a kid and didn't knew it would effect that time and didn't make choice ourself

I dont think that they even know what they are doing like someone on here was refused saying he still had links in India when he wasn't Indian lol and like they haven't made decision on yours yet when I am sure it must be straight forward sorry to hear that you couldn't go today on your flight ukba should be taken to courts and make them go through what all of us have to go through

.don't let yr lawyer deceive you pal.if an applicant is not given right of appeal,he/she can not appeal .the only choice will be either to ask for reconsideration,go for judicial review or wait for a removal letter which may trigger a right of appeal.

I'm telling yah hun they are rushing to clear the backlog and not considering application properly. The 1st time I was told on the 18th june by a ukba call agent that my appplication was allocated to caseworker then they confirm it in a email to ombudsman on the 1st july so therefore i thought I would have heard something by now. I rang them this morning they states application not decided yet so I guess I won't be waiting for the postman tomorrow because it seems like the caseworkers love to look at me and my kids pictures why he/she haven't made a decision yet. I thought they take 2 weeks to make decision once its allocated a caseworker but I guess my thought is wrong.... I hope your sis appeal or try the T form route u guys will be successful in the end.

Hi sanny UKBA may prove you wrong. The reason I'm saying this is because I rang on a Thursday which was the 27/6/13 and was told its with the case working unit and that the application is yet to be divided or better still incomplete.
Only to receive a call from my solicitor on the 2/7/13 that my BRP has been received. The decision letter actually came four days after the BRP.
So in a nutshell my dear I don't think their system is updated. Don't be surprised you will receive your package tomorrow.
Soon sanny very soon!

FLRO timeline and my story

Post by OlaDPounds » Wed Jul 17, 2013 6:51 pm

Hi everyone I have been following this forum for about 9 months which was introduced to me by my cousin who happens to be a member on this forum.

This is my timeline and story

Flro based on British son

First time application
Send document: October 2012
Biometric appt: 7-2-2013
Biometric receive 4days after
Son Passport returned 2 weeks later
Ho requested for more evidence 14-3-2013
More evidence sent two days after
I requested for baby father pasport has he needs to travel
Ho replied it will take up to 20days to receive back the passport
Contacted Ho again after 6 weeks
Received a letter from the HO 05/07/13 that stating that all documents including passports and application forms cannot be traced and also included 2 letters address to the IPS and mine country passport service I applied for another passport 10/07/13 and received another letter 11/07/13 dated 10/07/13 that my documents are now located and Ho also requested back for the letters previously addressed to both passort services and today 17/07/13 received baby's father passport @10:23am, @15:53 I got a delivery man on my door as my landlady was calling me for the man just in few seconds he dropped a card and drove off which was from DX I was checking online to read about the company after 20 minutes I got another knock at the doorstep my landlady called upon me again and returned was the delivery man with my biometric card. I am granted a 30months right to stay, work permitted and no public fund. I am so happy and grateful to God he sas by me and my son and I am sure all other applicants whom are still expecting the decisions itwwill surely come in our favour more than what we expect and we will all have different stories to glorify God Almighty. IJN Amen. Thank you all and good luck.
