We are all hoping to share our good news soon one after the other. It seemed like the pressure you put on them worked and prompted them to make the decision days after you called them, but sometimes one is scared to rush them so that they don’t make a rash decision, sometimes I’m being tempted to contacted my MP but I hold back bcos I don’t want to rush them and then they give a bad decision. But for you I’m so happy that it worked I hope all the caseworkers can Ben like that lol

Thank God for this forum, it has really and is helping a lot of us to keep up our hopes, there are days when we need emcouragement and this forums never seize to give us hope.

Update:
FLR FP Partner Route
Application sent: 23 Aug 2016
Date of decision: 16th Feb 2018
Decision letter received: 21st Feb 2018 - REFUSED.

Case was treated as an asylum, rather than partner route. I went through line by line, private life, claim, etc. etc. Not once was the partner route or eligibility mentioned as we FULFILL all criteria.

We are going for PAP then JR as there have been errors on law. Meeting lawyers next week to assess information after barrister has read the refusal.

If the refusal was on partner and stated that he should return to his country and re-apply, that's acceptable. They did not even consider our marriage, co-habitation or anything. Rather messy but the fight goes on!

NOTE: every applicant is different, this is just my husband's case and we will keep going. That's my timeline so will keep you guys updated. Be positive, I'm glad we got a decision so we have a forward plan.

Husband's timeline - overstayer 11 yrs
08/16 - FLR (FP) Partner, refused 02/18, 03/18 - JR permission refused with merit
08/18 - FLR FP (Partner) PSC - Approved
07/20 - FLR FP to FLR M Switch - Approved, 03/23 FLR M Ext Approved.

Very sorry to hear this news, I felt sad because I have been following your post . You have waited for so long 18months plus I guess and they decided to refuse your application home office are heartless, why keeping you waiting for this long before making this decision. God is your strength

This is so sad, after a long wait they still have the guts to refuse the application
This is insane
Just don’t keep quite, keep it going. From judicial review pap and whatever it takes

How did you get them to make a decision?

Odin, doctors holly, new on forum, kisses, jay, thank you for your words of support. It means a lot to us.

We did nothing to make them make a decision, guess the time was now.

If the law is on our side, it'll jus be a long process. I can't risk him going back to home country for him to be refused for frustrating the HO, which they have put on the refusal letter.

Simply, an asylum rejection was given, not partner route. Insane. We will see what happens. Those who have british born children fair a better chance then we as partners, even though we fulfil all criteria. We will fight on and I'll make sure to update on my 2nd timeline (been almost 2 years but it's incredibly worth it the fight)

Reason for frustrating - not really sure but it was related to absconding. He stopped going after a group of people started filming those reporting demeaning those in line. Those reporting aren't animals, they are human beings!

He was meant to report last year apparently, we had NO paperwork and had no idea. Not even the solicitor. Second application/court will hopefully pave the way. Will be in touch

Hi everyone!

I've been checking posts on here for a long while now, but I've finally thought it's worth asking for some advice now that I really need
Application type (FLR(FP) 10 Year Route Settle Partner and British Kid
Application Submitted on : 14/12/2016
Acknowledgement Received : 22/12/2016
Biometrics Enrolled on : 04/01/2017
Updated sent to HO regarding my wife wife pregrancy : 29/03/2017
Updated sent to HO regarding my wife wife pregrancy : 07/08/2017
Updated sent to HO regarding my child birth certificate : 26/10/2017
The MP contact HO 08/12/2017
The HO response 11/01/18 (application still pending)
meanwhile we are in contact with the HO for updates.
the MP contacted the HO on 23/02/18 asking for a work permit while they make a decision.

my wife is currently on maternity leave and not working. we have only applied for maternity allowance, child benefit and child tax credit. would it affect the application with the fact that my wife is not working? and were also thinking to apply for further benefits such as housing benefits. would that affect their decision or the length of decision making?

we sent the Childs birth certificate would we need to send the passport also? we were advised by the solicitor that we do not need to. she also advised that we shouldn't keep contacting them in the fear that it may sway their decision negatively. has anyone experienced anything like this?

please we need lots of advise and guidance. our solicitor is very rude and refuses to lift a finger to hep or give advice.

If she is qualified to public funds that won’t affect your application pls, I applied feb 2017 and got my 30months visa in February 2018, my partner received housing benefits n other benefits...for me I don’t think it will affect your application cox I went through same thing and I got my 30months visa..
