Hello Happymummy,
Here's a very happydaddy
I was blessed when reading your post and it gave me the strength I needed to pray to the Lord and He listened to my prayer. We got a decision today, I prayed on Thursday 20th and the Tribunal sent the letter to me the next day 21th with reached US this morning. He is faithful!
We had our hearing in May and the judge asked for 4 weeks to announce his decision. We've been so blessed throughout and even more when we found out our judge is also a servant of the Lord.
We lived as overstayers for 10 years as we only had a visitor visa back then. Not an easy life. We applied for leave to remain based on 7 year residency, our daughter now 7 and a half was born here.
Submitted our application in 2017 and year later home office refused with the right of appeal. We've appealed and after a 5 months wait had our appeal last May.
Today we got the papers in the post, allowed on human rights grounds. We're supper happy and I would like to thank some people here that helped a lot from their stories. I have learned a lot.
Many people ignored, others probably didn't know how they could help and others even tried to discourage us when our case was refused, saying that I should keep trying until my daughter turned 10 so that she could get the British citizenship. But, and this is a big but, in God we trust!
Anyone out there still waiting I say, don't lose hope. We've been there, we still feel the pain and we know how you feel, but it will get better and the joy will be overwhelming, trust me.
To Him be the glory forever Amen!

Hello everyone,
For those who are still waiting for Decision be patience and you will finally get the decision you are looking for.Most of all
PRAY and you will indeed see the results.I have been an overstayer for 13 yrs and been Granted 30 months Ten year root through my partner.I have cried,lost sleep just the thought of Home Office decision.Ive even isolated myself from people.When I had my kid I was like what will I do in case i get separated from them?I was terrified.
Reading on stories here what people are going through and some similar cases as mine made me not loose hope at the end of the tunnel.
I can now have a breather and start a new life from the shadows.
There's a post by Baraza kept me going.And another post about a Parent who was in a similar situation as me and she got positive result.I Decided to kneel down and pray crying to God.I did that last week and surprising my solicitor gave me a ring yesterday.He was joyful, I cried and am still doing so coz it is unbelievable that I had to wait 5 months 10 days from the time of biometrics for them to decide.
I can indeed start my life now.
Prayer is Powerful and I thank my solicitor for taking my complex case as if it was no big deal.
