Hi,
Its a long wait for everyone nowadays.
I submitted my application May 28 got email asking to email docs on June 9 got another email on July 16 acknowledging receipt of all docs then another email on August 19 for biometrics, which I booked and attended the next day. I’m now awaiting a decision.
My acknowledgment email says decision should take 8 weeks from biometrics appointment.
With Covid who knows how long it’ll take but yeah the wait is crazy but you’re going to have to wait for them to contact you unfortunately 😊 Hope my timeline helps give you an idea x

Hi, everyone. Please, anyone has email address for flp (fp) team?

I applied for my second flr(fp) renewal on Febuary 31st Jan 2020 and did my biometrics finger print on the 3rd of Febuary 2020. I also paid for document scanning & uploading services at Croydon office and the gentleman who did the uploading of documents told me everything has been uploaded to homeoffice. I have been waiting for 7 months now without no decision or any form of contact from homeoffce. Do anyone here know of the email address to contact them? I have searched online but could't find anything.

My timeline is as follows:

Application update
Flr fp 10 year private life route
Extension (2nd renewal)
Application submitted online on: 31 Jan 2020 (Online application)
Biometrics done at Croydon: 3rd of Febuary 2020
Called homeoffice on: 20th July 2020 (The Lady said is not yet upto six months)

I am really getting worried now 'cause i can see people in this forum who applied long after i did, already granted .

Thanks!
Hi there,

Just wondering if you heard anything back?

All the best x
Yes, i phoned HO and someone escalated my query. I received an email couple of days latter that they are still working on the case and the case worker will write to me once a decision is made.

I am just baffled, considering this is my second renewal and my circumstances has n't changed in any way.

Are you still waiting for reply? What's your story...
Hi,

Thank you for getting in touch, I just saw this. I just posted a little bit of my story few minutes ago 😊😊 mine is a first FLR FP application though. I think a lot of people who applied before lockdown are most affected by the wait. I hope you get it approved soon 😊

Hi, I haven’t received the email so no update yet. How about you? What type of application you applied? I applied Appendix FM parent route. I heard if I can book appointment depends on the type of visa I applied and it seems the one I applied still has to wait.
Hi rainbow 66 not yet I applied for 2nd extension I’m also on 10 year route family and private life under paragraph 276ADE don’t know what to do still waiting.Thanks

I applied for flr fp extension on the 22nd of july it's over 6 weeks now still waiting as the tike line given is 8 weeks.
Has anyone been granted lately and what was your rime line please ?
Hi,
Home office do say 6-8weeks but because home office is not fully opened cos of the covid19. They said we have to wait for 6months. Such a long wait.
@mercibocui how long have you been waiting ?
Hi,
I did my biometric on 26 May, so still waiting till now. Heard nothing yet from HO. What about you, have you heard anything from HO too.

Hello everyone
FLR FP September 2020

I have been reading on this forum and it’s very helpful.
My application time line is,

Applied Online and paid fees 21.03.2020
Ukvas Appointment booked 14.04.2020
Ukvas appointment cancelled 26.03.2020
Cancelled due to covid19.

Received email from home office,
Asked me to email all supportive
documents.
Documents emailed. 11.05.2020

A week later received a call from
HO. Asked me if I wanted to
apply Asylum. I said, No. No idea, why’d they ask me.
Now it’s been almost 4 months and still no reply. They said 6-8 weeks.

Please tell me if anyone of you waiting for that long. Much appreciated.

Regards.

Hi,

Hi,

Can you send me the email you sent all your supporting documents to. Many thanks
You cannot email your documents if you have not specifically been asked to do so by a caseworker.

As already explained in your own topic you have, you need to upload your documents to the ukcvas portal!
Hi there
You can’t send them your supporting documents on your own. You have to wait for email.

Have you booked about for biometrics?
to be honest they can decide it without biometrics because they done it to me without biometrics and without deducting the fees from my bank. and when I went for reporting so same day they gave me refusal letter and ticket to go back that was the horrible day I was detained

Check the rules friend. There's many posts that cover it so from the approval of your last visa 6 pieces of correspondence from at least 3 sources. Just space them out. I submitted x 3 council tax, x3 water bill (as it's yearly) and then my utility/gas bills say every 4 months.

Hello, I applied for my partner the same day as you on 18. Of August still we haven’t heard nothing yet.
It is his 3rd application. I can see people that applied after him could use the IDV app or can book an appointment but not him. Hope they will send an email soon.
