@Favour. We are/were both non EEA overstayers and our application was based on private life in the UK based on my my kids who were either born here or have lived here for over 7 years!!

@Favour. I am living testimony of the power of the most high. It has been a difficult road that has posed many many challenges. I still question the HO decision making. It will take time to get over the pain and suffering they inflicted on my family!!

Thanks orasson for those words of comfort. I say to you and every member of the forum family still awaiting, to be strong. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi Guys,

I have been a silent follower of this website, leading into my first application in 2011 up to my recent renewal. This is my first post, and I thought I would share my timeline

Residence permit expiring 13 October 2014
Application sent 15 September 2014
Acknowledgement 19 September 2014
Money left account 22 September 2014
Received letter for biometrics 30 September 2014
Biometrics done 01 October 2014
Received biometric permit 19 November 2014 (dated 17 November 2014 for a 3 year permit)
Passport and documents still awaiting

I know the wait is unbearable but I would like to encourage everyone who is still waiting not to lose hope, and am very grateful for all the useful information I constantly find on this website

@ Favour I have tried to respond to your PM, but it wasn't working. Anyway I have no update yet, I'm still waiting for my case to be listed at UT.

I have tried to get an head up of the time scale but to no avail.

Best of luck.

@liam20, if your previous visa allowed you to work and you applied before your last visa expired. Yes you will still continue to work base on your last visa. Your previous visa will be temporarily extended under 3c&3d law until all your appeal right are exhausted. Article 8 is becoming difficult to win now. I'm in the same situation and I have been on it since 2012, nearly 3 years now. But at least I'm still working. Best of luck dear.

@ Amiir26,
I am currently married to a refugee and we have two kids together.

@ Liam,
My employer called UKBA when my visa ran out and was told that i ha submitted my application and could work for up to 6 months while they decided my future. As soon as you get your confirmation letter just give this to your employer and tell them to ring the employer checking service for UKBA

Hope this helps
