FLR(O) Discretionary Leave waiting times ..??

[Kukuwife]

@kukuwife Im also curious to hear the juicy details of @astro123 incredible success story!! Why did it work out better to submit a new app instead of doing an appeal or JR?
Does it mean that those refused with no right of appeal can submit a new one (finances permitting) and keep their fingers crossed...?

Concerning my reapplication, I think why this has been successful is that I added new evidence. in the first one I could not proof cohabitation because I did not have enough doc to cover the 2 yrs. since the app spent about 14months with the HO before it was refused, I was able to accrue more doc to resend a new app to prove cohabitation. And the refusal letter they added that I cannot enjoy the EX1 if am not able to qualify for the mandatory requirements . If anyone needs to know something else ask and I will reply. thanks

Astro123-Thanks for the clarification. The decision was based on 2 years cohabitation which is understandable but what about the financial requirement

@kukuwife ,(1) i suspect cases of pple who re -apply shortly after initial refusal are dealt wit by senior/experienced caseworkers.....
(2)Money making tactics.....

when i applied for d ist time in 2009 i could not provide documentatn to prove co habitation for 2years.. cos even though i dated my hubby for years , we only started living together the day we got married biut my caseworker used her discretion indeed and she must have thot it will be so unreasonable to refuse my visa cos we hv a child together and livung as a family.....In a nutshell, d level of experience of the caseworker does help a great deal

Yummy mummy & All-pls kindly help in considering and analyse the situations of some of our colleagues on the forum that has been refused. Am aware that each case are different. But the same on principle of :
1. Overstayer
2 child that have lived in uk continuously for seven years
3. Article 8 been raised
4. Family life
5. Private life
We have seen people who overstayed their visa and applied using the flr o been granted on the so called 7 years rule while some are been refused.

I beginning to wonder that there may be some issue we might be missing.
And going by astro123 he was first refused, re-applied and then granted so what has changed?
Pls kindly contribute
Thx

Hi

I am expecting some analysis from Believe2013,dapsonlee and others regards kukuwife comments.

@kukuwife:
Astro123 is very fortunate. Do not try to understand what happened in his case.
Decisions at the HO are made on arbitrary basis. In the same organisation, if you choose 2 different officers and give them the same file, the decisions will be different. Operational Guidances are issued to please Big Brothers such as Home Affairs Committee. Especially in Human right where every case has its own merits, Case Workers look for weaknesses instead strengths in cases. Decisions are made under emotional pressure caused by letters from solicitors, MPs or applicants themselves.
And you said it right, God is our only strength…

Same thing happened to my sister just on tuesday this week, she was granted 30 months leave after re- applying by my advice even her solicitor can't still belief it,to me i think people don't include much document,some immigration officer will request for more document,some wont bother wasting time on the application.e.g if someone is applying for leave to remain on 7yrs rule,they should include a letter from each school they have attended for last 7yrs,etc

Good morning. Good news is infectious, congrats to your sister Daniel97. I suppose it all boils down to the case units and their chain of command. Get it wrong at the top and nothing falls into place. I think conducting a post mortem on the criteria used by HO in most cases could prove to be a very disheartening and angering procedure, so I would rather join my fellow bloggers in celebrating their victories and patiently wait my time.

You only have to prove 2 years' cohabitation for un-married couples. If a couple is legally married then it doesnt matter

I do not know if they considered financial requirements, but my partner earns about fifty seven thousand pounds a year. and we added the bank statements and pay slips to the doc.

I am not surprised with the huge congratulations received from you. I pray soonest people will rejoice with you. Thank you so much.

Someone has it in his/her footnote that persistence overcomes resistance. I definitely believe in that. When Jesus taught His disciples how to pray in Luke 11: 5-7. When a man went to meet his neighbour's friend for food to meet the need of his friend from a journey. With all the resistances his neighbour's put up against him: first resistance The door is locked, second children are in bed, third resistance i can't get up. Eventually, all the resistances were broken down because of his persistence.

Therefore, for those who are currently experiencing resistance from Home Office, I pray that soonest all the resistances will be broken down with your resistances and the manifestation of Jesus in your situation.

[bobby04]

@ Kukuwife Concerning your request about application on private life- parent of a child in UK via 7 year route. This is the basis of my application. If I am right, I believe at this moment, only Time504 and my self have received favourable consideration on that basis.

From my point of view, Home Office is applying the ECHR inapproriately. They do have their own version, which I believe, it is only applicable to a single parent. In opinion, which is based on the observation i have seen, all couples either overstayer or with valid stay that made application on that basis were sadly refused. Home office will not tell them because they are couple rather they would come up with all sort of reasons you are overstayer etc . For those couple who are still expecting outcome of the application on that basis, I believe with God all things are possible.

In view of the above, any one who is being refused with their child/children in this country for 7 years without criminal convictions are most like to win their cases in court.

Have a pleasant weekend

[Shondra Sharma]

congratulation @bobby04 for your 7 year child application. what you saying single parents application is granted. Is anything instruct like in ex1? I don't think so.

[Shondra Sharma]

@bobby04 did your application refused before or your valid leave expired and overstayer, I think that's make difference, My one is refused and did appeal but lost it and after a 6 years I applied under 7 year child. My child born here in uk and nearly 10 years old (one month to go) still refused. I don't understand how home office implemented the ex1 and 276ADE.

[ali90]

could someone please explain me the 10 and 7 year rule because my sister has been in uk for more than 12 years. they only accepted the evidence from 2003 but she was still refused. and she is under 25 but over 18

[Shondra Sharma]

@ali90 children born in uk and lived for first 10 years without absence of 90 days of every year, he/she able to apply british citizenship. The other one child lived in uk 7 or more years can able to apply leave to remain but they refused a lot now, not considering, even they made law.

damn that sucks. i was born in uk but left uk at age of 8 and wasnt my own choice. only been out of uk for 3 years out of my 23years. lets hope the caseworker be good and grant me

[Shondra Sharma]

@ali90 you have a chance because you under 25 and lived more than half of yours life, wishing you all the best. what your sister case now? did she have a right of appeal? when your sister application is refused?

[ali90]

@ali90 you have a chance because you under 25 and lived more than half of yours life, wishing you all the best. what your sister case now? did she have a right of appeal? when your sister application is refused?

she was refused because they said she hasnt spent more than half her life here because of a break in the middle . she had no right of appeal and was told to contact the enforcment team. it was more than 2/3 months ago. still have pending assylum application since few years so maybe thats why they havent done anything yet. she is in contact with lawyer to see what to do about it. because even after the break it be more than half her life here and also she is married to a british citizen in religious cermoney even tho it isnt british registeration yet

everyone has a chance it all depends on the caseworker. her caseworker asked for documents once and then refused. mine have asked few times and i have tried to send all the documents i have

[Shondra Sharma]

even 3 years break count its a half life living here and still under 25, well depends on luck, even if you have strong case, they reufsed if you don't have a luck and depends on the case worker as well. That's why anything could happened?
