I put in an article 8 application on Form FLR(O) on the 28 March 2012; have done the biometrics since April 2012 but still awaiting decision to date.
Anybody in a similar situation; or anybody with information about someone in similar situation - just to compare notes.

Hi Solar! I am in more of a similar position as you. I sent in an FLR(O) application and received an acknowledgement on 25th May 2012. Received invite for Biometrics and did them on 20th July 2012 and have been waiting ever since. I believe there is a huge backlog with applications. I saw a Freedom of Information request online for the extent of the backlog at UKBA. Attached is the link that I am following:

Same situation for a family member.
Applied in March 11; biometric taken on Apirl 3... no further information after that.
As she does not speak english, they refused to provide an update on the applciaton of the phone despite application has been outstanding more then 6 months.
Rumor says the backlog is due to the olympics and seems to cover all applicatoins...

Hi guys
Really good to know am not alone as I have been trying to find people who applied round the same time. I applied in Feb 2012 and sent more info in march but H/O claims that it did not receive everything till April despite the acknowledgement letters coming before that. Anyway sent 3 complaint letters and still nothing.
Am fed up of waiting as am sure same as you guys.
P.S my case is based on private life no kids or family.
