Flr(FP); Flr(O), FLR(HO) & DLR - TIMELINES ONLY

[nabmo]

Hi all,

My mum had an accident and broke her leg when she was visiting us last month. She had to go through an emergency surgery and doctors advised her not to fly for 6 weeks. Her visa was expiring during this period so I had to request an extension. I called the Home Office helpline number and they suggested to apply under FLR (HRO) category.
