Yes you have the right to work, your immigrations status does not change. However its tricky if you are looking for work. If you are already working they can not stop you working when your immigration status application (fee waiver) is on going.

Oh congratulations. 10 weeks wait is good. Hope from now the waiting times will be less.
Congratulations! Glad to see some movement in 2023 cases. I've been waiting since June. Tried calling but was no use, call handler sounded clueless, even about basic stuff. Might try again and see if I get someone else more knowledgeable.Goharrajpot wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2024 9:44 amCongratulationsMoKath wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2024 9:42 amGood news update !

It's my turn say that my Flr Fp first time application via the private life route has been approved after 21 months of waiting. Biometrics arrived 3 days later and Passports were returned a month after. I'm so grateful to God and for this forum for giving me hope in the gruelling waiting period. Congratulations to all who have recieved a postive outcome and i pray that all those who are still waiting for a decison, will recieve their own Goodnews soon too. Amen!
We thank God for this outcome. So this is your first application. next application will be renewals. Am asking coz of mention of passports coming back....But anyway enjoy the peace now and get on with your life, hopefully we will see changes with this new govt.Pam_ieee wrote: ↑Sat Jul 20, 2024 4:25 pmThankyou so much @ OptimisticNow. Yes! The wait was absolutely insane.
Below is my timeline:
Solicitor used: Yes
Fee waiver application: 15th June 2022
Fee waiver approved : 11th July 2022
FLR FP First time Application submitted: 18 July 2022
Biometrics submitted: 6th September 2022
Wrote to my MP : 30th October 23. Got a response realtively quickly.
The Homeoffice wrote back stating that Flr fp applications are not currently subject to any service standards and I will be notified as soon as a decision has been made.
Wrote to my MP again: 10th April 2024. The same response from the home office.
Approval granted: 20th of June 2024
BRP card arrived: 22nd of June 2024
Passport arrived: 19th July 2024
I was granted under the private life route. I qualified under this basis of: "Adults, 18 or over, have spent less than 20 years in the UK and would have very significant problems living in the country you’d have to go to" I also came in to the U.K as a child, if that helps. I was put on the 10 year route, so i will be renewing every 2.5 years until i get to 10 years . Its been one hell of a journey and I'm so thankful to God Almighty that is over for now until my renewal . May God Almighty answer the prayers of all of you who are still waiting
I agree with you, after 2.5 yrs one shud indeed just apply for indefinite. I think we need to engage our local MPs more so that this is scrappedOptimisticNow wrote: ↑Sun Jul 21, 2024 10:02 amThanks for your detailed response @Pam_ieee.
Being that it was less than 20 years when you applied, did the 2 years delay before it was finally granted made u reach the 20 years mark or still under 20 years?
I asked this because why would they make you wait two years because the significant obstacles 2 years ago is still probably there today?
Also, I hope the new Labour government scrap the renewal after every 2.5 years for 10 years. It’s costly and waste of time. Should be iLR after the initial 2.5 years. It’s fair.
So happy for you....now you can breatheI'mhuman wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2024 7:50 pmFee waiver application 20 Feb 2023

thats good news to hear, im doing my bio on the 23rd in liverpool, i hope for both of us we dont have to wait long after bio to get decision, i hope other applications follow suit, coz the waiting game is really bad, i understand if it was years ago when it was all paperwork and it delays, but now everything is digital and with one touch of the button they can see all your information , so begs the question why does it takes many months, even for some many years, its like once they recieved any application they just let it sit there until they bothered to look at it again,which is what causes a the huge backlog, its depressing coz all of us just want to get on with our livesZeeky wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2024 2:36 amO Wow, you're at the end.
