FLR(FP) Application time

[Vini81]

Hello Meng,


Have you done your extension by yourself or used a solicitor? I'm diento extend for the first time and feeling a bit nervous. Can't afford to use a solicitor so thi King about doing it myself as I did part of my initial application for leave to renais family life.


Any help would be much appreciated.

Best

I submitted my FPR(FP) 3rd extension online on 6 April 2021
had Biometric fingerprint taken on 30 April 2021
have heard nothing since .... (no reply email or request for further documents, just simply a complete silcence).
I am still waiting for the decision.

I wonder if it is normal processing time? What shall I do next? I shall be grateful if anyone could help or share some experience.

Just want to share my experience.
I got flr fp 2nd extension partner 10 year route in 4 days.
Submitted online application and uploaded all documents as per requirement on 6th Dec 2021. Chose priority service by paying £800 on top of normal processing fee.
Paid additional £125 as we live in Manchester( I think for Londoner it’s £199) for out of hour appointment which I got for 10th for December 2021. Attended the appointment at 8:30 in the morning.
Got decision at 12:00 after 3 hours of appointment.

I would say that it’s worth to pay £925 extra and avoid long waiting time.
Do it yourself it’s really easy and self explanatory process.

Good luck to all who are waiting.

Hello,


Great to hear about your experience.

I will be doing my first extension end of this month. I'm trying to do it myself. Do you think it is possible? Have you used a solicitor?

Glad if you could help.

Thanks

HI
my 3rd FLR(FP) extension due and would like to know if i can use 24hr service to get decision faster also what documents do i need to submit ,thanks

[Naheedsammar]

Yeah you can use the service.
When you finish the application and pay IHS then it gives you option which service you want.
Chose the premium and pay accordingly the fee.
Then you have to book the appointment which is free during normal hours but difficult to get hold of so I paid £125 extra for the out of hour service and luckily got appointment after 2 days.

So up to you what you choose.

[Vini81]

How long is it taking now if you don't pay for premium service?

Hi

My husband submitted flr fp application 29.09.2021 and he did biometric 30.09.2021. After more than three months he has not heard anything from home office. Is it normal? He called a number in home office but they said nothing. How can he track his application and how long will be taken for receiving their answer?

What do you mean “Documents requested - None yet”. Do you mean extra documents if needed or you did not submit any documents after your application?

[Coloko]

I mean extra documentation requested--none

Application all done by myself. Very nervous now. Been a long awaited journey and yet to continue. Please do keep us in your prayers!

Well done to all those that have gotten their approvals! Well deserved.

Any update????

Why posted your documents why not uploaded any reason ?

Hello. Apologies for late reply. No I am still waiting. I posted my documents as when I had a look online it obviously suggested we do not upload pictures and various other things because it apparently would not have any effect on the application. I also had a lot more other documents that I wanted to include and far too many documents if I say so lol. Hence why I decided to post it all organised and labelled. They returned it back but keeping what they required. They did look at pictures and all other things I provided as everything was moved about and taken out of the folder. They also left a note in each slot in the folder to say which category they where putting these in. I wanted to show that I did have more than what they required and more. So they could select as per their wish. This is also my first application. I just felt a solicitor wouldn't put in as much effort as I would in my own application. They wouldn't include all the documents I did. They wouldn't organise and label things the way I did. I took my time to think about each and every thing. I hope this answers everyone's questions.

Good luck everyone

[saggesh]

Good Luck and keep update about the outcome
