You're definitely not alone, keep strong. Entering 15 months wait now. It's like a spider crawling on your back and you need to ignore it, very hard to do but keep strong and take care of yourself and families. That's number 1 priority.

At this rate, I wish I had sent hubby back and allow him to enter in via spousal, that was my first thought but this was the direction we were told to go. He could have gone and come back by now (or by Jan/Feb 18 with any 1-year ban in place and the wait time!!!)

Was expecting docs or a refusal Dec 2016 but now, this is just really getting far too long. Have to BELIEVE it'll all be fine in the end. God Willing

I personally think something need to be done about this waiting time. People applying through flr fp don’t earn as much as it is and how do they expect someone with a baby support the family on a low income whiles they wait over a year.

Please does anyone have the contact number of HO in sheffield

You know what Bathanza I can totally understand what your going through, but longer the wait better the chance that you will get your visa.............. if HO taking that long it means your definitely going to get visa, its all in their hands though but people who wait that long are certain to get Visa in thr hands and you know what " There's always a light after dark" don't worry your hubby will get his Visa.

I think they have changed the way tracker works because they want to just frustrate us and that's all.

Dont bother yourself too much. Its same for my daughter's MN1 application. it is either a system glitch or HO trying to play smart.

Need some advise on FLR extension - meeting financial requirement.

The £18,600 - does this need to be met by the original sponsor or since partner is in U.K. Can you show partners and sponsor 2 separate jobs to fulfill the requirement?

I.e sponsor £15k salary
Spouse £10k salary

Any help appreciated.

Hi - make a new post with all your details for members to help - this is for timeline. Cheers

UPDATE: Solicitor has confirmed that the HO said there is an enormous backlog for in country and entry clearance partner routes so it's a waiting game.

For an additional cost, they can write a letter of claim. Not sure if this is the way forward as I don't know what this will do.

Would it be better to wait for a decision or take them to court for unreasonable waiting now? 14 months and counting. I'm thinking wait until it's 1.5 years then move forward.

Anyone's opinion welcomed.
