FLR(O) Discretionary Leave waiting times ..??

[similo]

I was asked to withdraw my JR and give them 3 months to reconsider on the premise that if the decision is not positive it will generate a right of appeal IN COUNTRY. Also, they agreed to pay my costs. However, the 3 month limit has elapsed and I'm yet to get a reply so it is back to the waiting game.

I agree with Al Hagg that your solicitor should have insisted on you getting at least right to appeal, but seeing that you are married to a BC, it could work in your favour. I pray it does.

Good Day to all!
Just want to share and find out if anyone in here are going through Judicial Review. My solicitor received the consent order from the Tsol, that they are reconsidering my application but I have to withdraw my JR. He advised to withdraw it. It says as well in the letter that a result would be within 3 months.
I actually do not know if that is a wise move because that does not guarantee that I wont get refuse again and I feel like if that happens I have wasted a lot of time and effort.
I initially applied for a spouse visa (wife is british citizen) but under FLR O since my previous visa has expired 14 days (Dec. 2012) before we got married.

here is my timeline
FLR O application: January 8, 2013
Biometrics: February 2013
REfused:September 27, 2013 (that was my birthday
PAP sent: October 2013
JR filed: December 23, 2013
Consent order was given June 9, 2014

Hi, this year
I'm a silent follower of this forum and wondered if your consent order has been selead by the courts. As my partners one took 3months for the sealing before starting counting the 3mths?

@This year please excuse my lacklustre in failing to acknowledge your greetings! It was unintentional. Well if 3 months have elapsed you are within reason to give them a kick up the backside' wouldn't we all love to, given the opportunity!!!! You are extremely close to freedom! If i hear one more lawyer say oh just wait until they get in touch.... I will burst into .......tears lol - they haven't got the slightest idea of what we face day in and day out! Somethings you just have to do it on your own accord! Sounds like a mini rant but not intended it to be! Now to the less mundane things....They are denying me my freedom but they can't stop me from watching the world cup! I am supporting all the teams but one! I suppose they better leave the engine of the plane running, they will be back home soon!

Hahaa I can't but to laugh. I absolutely agree with you. Hope they will meet the barbecue

@Believe no offence taken

:lol......: let them continue with the hype

@similo, I honestly don't have a clue about "sealing"

@thisyear I'm not very good at explaining things but I will give it but will give my best short!
When my partner was asked to
Withdraw his JR early jan2014, their initial consent order stated, we must withdraw the JR and they agree to reconsider upon the sealing of the order. Our solicitor wrote back and redrafted stating, we agree only if they refund the cost and should they refuse again they should give right to appeal. They agreed and the order was signed by both parties and was sent to the court on the 8th of January BUT the court did not seal/stamp it until 2nd of April 2014. And that's when we started counting the 3months.
I think the best advise I can give you is to read your consent letter if it says, they agree to reconsider after the sealing of the order, you will need to ask your solicitor to give you the sealed order. If your consent order doesn't say anything about the sealing, please insist that the solicitor contact them sharp sharp! I know we would we just waiting for the 2nd of July

By the way my patners application was based on a private life, British partner and child. He was refused last year Sept!

It's the hardest journey, one we are determined to succeed.
I hope my little pennies helps

@everyone,
Did you watch the channel 4 news last night, Theresa May/or her office is not only failing immigrants she is failing British citizen as well. They have back log of passports. I guess they stopped processing the BC passport so that they can process as many refusal as possible

[Al Haqq]

@Al Haqq
Yes that is all they have offered and it was the suggestion of our solicitor to accept their terms. I did asked the solicitor to call the TSol and make them agree that if in any case that they refuse me again they'll give me a right for an appeal but Tsol refuse to give us that. They said that my situation is not applicable for a right to appeal since I filed my initial application with an expired visa. So I was left with no choice but just to accept the consent order. Now, I am worried that I made a wrong choice. Felt like I juSt thrown all the time and effort I have put on this.
Solicitor is confident that my application is strong but I've been burned and learned my lesson on that one (first solicitor said that one as well and look where it got me).
I wonder what is the percentage for applications going through JR then reconsideration gets refuse? Do you know?
Thank you so much.

@rilakuma
I am sorry I do not know but you can get this information if you contact freedom of information and make a request or look through if someone has made similar then you can read the data. I know the there was a statistics by the end of 2012.
let us hope and pray it all comes out positive for you.

Hello All,

First time posting on this board but I have been following these posting since I first applied for FLR(O). My situation is a tad bit different I applied as a US Civilian Employee. My husband is british and both of my children are british however they were born in the states. We were living in the states but had to come back since my husband is very ill and I don't really have much family in the states but we have a ton here. I was able to obtain a job on base within time and applied for a US Civilian Employee because I came here on a tourist 6 month I was a little bit nervous applying for this. Applied April 10th 2014. Received biometric letter and an ECHR letter on April 19th, 2014. Biometrics were done on April 22nd, 2014. I have not heard anything since I applied however today I had a missed package from DX and it was for me under my name I don't have any accounts or anything under my name here so I'm thinking this has to be the BRP card? I couldn't think of what else. They cannot re-deliver until Monday! SO I'm driving myself crazy thinking what it could be. Have not yet received any apprroval letter...Anyone else receive a brp card before approval letter?

FLR(O) - applied 4/10/14
Application received/biometric/ECHR - 4/19/2014
Biometrics done 4/22/14
Missed package from DX 6/13/14

Thanks Al Haq. It sure is a step in the right direction. Now just need to convince judge that the amoebas are wrong in not issuing the removal orders.

Quick question though Al Haq if I may. In my judicial review, the judge made mention of HO's refusal reasons which I feel he shouldn't have as I don't have a right of appeal against the original decision. Do you think if I try to be sneaky at court and raise up the issues instead of just fighting for removal notice. Lol!! Worth a try don't you think? Might save me at least 1 court appearance as I fight on.

]@Similo, many thanks for the explanation. Apparently I've been waiting based on the wrong time line! I'm so venting right now, the consent order was only sealed 23rd of May. No wonder my solicitor told me to "just keep waiting" I'll be forever grateful to the people on this forum for sharing their experiences.

Looks like August/ September for me .......might as well relax until then. Come on world cup

thanks to you all
