FLR(FP) Application time

[Arham208]

Hi all,

Got an email from solicitor today saying our application has been refused. I will post my timeline another time...

Very difficult to swallow right now but at least they gave us right of appeal.


My question is :

Do we really need to use our solicitors in order to send our appeal? Is this just a form they fill in and that's it?

My solicitor is charging £500 to make the appeal and I find it a robbery. Can anyone share their thoughts?

Thanks

Sorry to hear your refusal. Take positive out of this. You have got your appeal. Please could you share your timeline and what’s your application? I.e parent of a British child or?

Hi vini81, really sorry to hear about ur refusal, I was not expecting this, I thought they will give u visa on ur wife's treatment, what reason home office gave u for rejection? As ur daughter is 7 years as well now...
My advice is that go with solicitor because on appeal u can't fight alone, u need a solicitor who can present ur case infront of judge.. So appeal through a solicitor... Plz do let me know what home office gave u reason for rejection??
Mine case is a bit like urs as my son is 10years old and have spend 8 years in this country, so we applied on his base... Plz pray for us as we also send additional documents on 15 September...

Hi Kap05,

Thank you for your comment. Yes, we have an appeal but at the moment this is all hard to take after so much hope. I am also angered that solicitors do everything they can to take money from you and it is now clear for me that I would have probably had better chances or even spent less money have I waited until my daughter turned 7 years.

I will post my timeline soon but my daughter was born in the UK and is now 7 years old. Among all the reason they gave for our refusal, the main one I would say is that they state she didn't live here continuously for seven years(they considered the age of 6 when the application was submitted).

I am clinging to the hope that we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him.

Dear Arham208,

Fear not my dear, there is a reason for everything. Part of me is at peace and so should you.

They refused our claim on family life and basically everything else. Based on the 20 years rule etc.. It was a 12 page letter!!

The main one and this is where I believe the critical decision was made was that my child did not live 7 years continuously in this country(she was born here but they considered the age of 6 when we submitted the application). On the other hand, God is so good that had they reached this decision lets say 6 months ago, not sure we would be allowed to appeal. So now, being a 7 year old born in this country and all the other points we've made in our application, I am hoping we will get something positive out of the whole thing.


I am furious to know that maybe I would have had a better chance had I applied after she turned 7 but solicitors do want you money so they convinced us it was a good time to apply when she was 6. I would probably have spent less money and be less stressed.

We have until the 31st to appeal and I will see the solicitor on Monday. I have a friend who already has a date for his hearing and he told me, with the HO fees, solicitors and now barista for the hearing, he spent over £ 2500 this is ridiculous...

But anyway, in the end, this will all be worth it.

Feel free to ask and I will be back when have more time. For now, it's all a bit difficult for me even though I have hope.

Best regards

Hi so sad to see your refusal and the bad time you going through my suggestion for you will do not go for appeal as your application is refused because of she was 6 at the time you applied to appeal wont help you and you will waste more time and money i think the best for you is to go for permium service 1 day service as your child has completed 7 years now it will likely you will be granted visa same day and you won't have to take stress about long times

[Kwipeh]

I agree with Jin022. Since the reason for the refusal had to do with the number of years the child had spent in the UK, now that the child is 8, should a new application not do the trick?

Seems like a less stressful approach to me.

[Vini81]

Hi,

Thanks for your input.

A new application means paying all fees all over again right?

She is 7 now not 8 but I guess being 7 fulfill the rule.

Hi Jin022

Thank you for your suggestion.

Would you really have a go at the premium service?

I never thought of it but you saying it now sounds like a better approach. I believe the solicitors being interested in making the appeal means that they can make more money out of it which they will do.

If I'd go for the premium service, would I have to do a while New application and pay all fees over again?

I'm a bit lost now and it's so difficult...

Thanks

I thought one can not do a premium service when their pervious visa had already expired. Please can someone give me an insight this?
Question 2: if someone visa had expire can he do a premium service for a new application? Parent of a British child ??
I would appreciate your feedback
Cheers

[omo2323]

I can guarantee you,with a first timer ,premium services is not allowed, unless you have a valid visa that is about expiring. call a lawyer and a lawyer will tell you,most people can lie about the premiums services,you can read it on home office website, when I was about putting my own application in,I was advised by the home office that an not entitled to premium services.sometime if you are not sure of something u ask a lawyer or go check it on there website, this forum is to good right directive to people on this forum not by deceiving them,for the sake of writing. anything you are not sure of ask a lawyer.i stand to be corrected.a first timer or anyone with no
previous stay is not allowed for a premium service.thank you

Hi Everyone

My brother has worse immigration history & he was overstay , and last week his visa approved. He applied as Partner of British Citizen.

He submit docs of last 2 years living together , marriage certificate, children birth certificates, letter from school, letter from GP etc

No question were asked, it was simple and straightway.

You can take any complex case for Same Day Services as far as its FLR(FP) route and you have all your documents in hand.

I would recommend people who are waiting for long time for their decision pending or they are planing for a postal application, please use Same Day Services .... its worth spending £600 extra. however you need your Original Passport. My brother previous passport was held by home office, so he applied for new one.

Any questions.. please let me know.

Regards,
Malik

Hi my previous visa has expired. Can I do a premium service application as a parent of British child?
I await your response
Cheers

[Vini81]

Omo2323,

I hear what you say but taking my refund and waiting until she's 10 means I would have to hide from them for another 3 years.

What would stop HO coming after us now that they know who we are and where we are?

The problem with finding a 7 year rule specialist is how bound are they to also only help by putting their needs in making money first?

Would you know a trustable one?

I have a friend who applied and had a refusal, same case, he was given a hearing and at the hearing they were granted the visa.

I honestly don't know what to do and yes, they way you say sounds very harsh but I appreciate your help and your words.

I'll let you know what decision we will make soon.

Regards

Hi everyone. Ive been a silent reader on the forum for a long time and reading other people's experiences has been a consolation/source of encouragement that I am not alone in my struggles. So here is my success story.

I applied for FLR(FP) alongside 2 children based on children having spent 7 years in the UK. Children came to the UK in 2010 aged 3 and 6.
Applied for ILR Tier 1 General dependant Postal: May 2016
Refused due to sponsor's tax amendment: November 2017
Applied for FLR (FP): November 2017
Acknowledgment/Biometric received and done: Dec 2017
Parts of application form returned as not signed: Feb 2018
Contacted MP/Response to MP from HO saying appication not completed and no timescale: Aug 2018
Request for additional docs: Aug 2018 (2 weeks after contacting MP)
Additional documents sent: 13 Sept 2018
Called Ukvi call centre:1/10/2018. Received email response same day saying application not completed
Emailed complaints/public enquiries based on advice by a poster on another thread: 16/10/2018
Received a call from solicitor this morning confirming BRP received today.
Its been a long wait but got there eventually. Praying for everyone still in the waiting game.

Hi all,

Got an email from solicitor today saying our application has been refused. I will post my timeline another time...

Very difficult to swallow right now but at least they gave us right of appeal.


My question is :

Do we really need to use our solicitors in order to send our appeal? Is this just a form they fill in and that's it?

My solicitor is charging £500 to make the appeal and I find it a robbery. Can anyone share their thoughts?

Thanks

hi vini81 I know the pain you’re going throw it go for the appeal. My wife won is appeal even though we submitted at 6 years. The judge said he will grant it in the court room. A good solicitor is required . You child school performance will play a big role as well.Good luck

Hi everyone,

Today I received a text message from Home Office regarding my reporting that my reporting is on Monday 29th October. But my reporting is not due until 29th November. But when I contacted them by email I received a reply from Home Office “ You have now been moved to immigration bail and will now be required to report on a Monthly Basis. A Bail 201 had been posted out for you to report with, you are required to still report on the 29th of October. If you do not receive your reporting paper by then please request it at the counter.”
My case history is I applied for FLR(FP) on partner based living with my partner nearly 4 years now.
Applied : September 2017
Biometric: October 2017
Didn’t receive anything after I did my biometric.
In June 2018 my barrister wrote to them didn’t receive any reply
September 2018 I write to Immigration didn’t receive anything.
But on 5th October received package from immigration with letter saying that my application is still in process and they are returning the supporting documents but they have got copies of documents which they require. And today I received text message that I have to report every month now as before I was reporting every 2 Months.

As they have changed my reporting does that mean my decision is negative. I’m worried now. I rang my barrister and told him and he said my decision might be negative that’s why they have changed my reporting to every month but I haven’t received any decision letter yet.
Please guide or advise me.
