Super priority service 3rd extension Flr fp parent route
I attended biometric appointment on 22/07/22
I received decision this morning 0930am 25/07/22
Approved and permitted to work, study, benefit.
I would say it’s worth applying using super priority service if you want fast response and have no unspent criminal record.

How was yours so long, isn’t the wait time roughly 11 months?

i don't know why... i would assume i applied at the height of the covid pandemic... escalated a couple of time by my self mid last year and once by MP.... but i did escalate early June and a respond came through.

That’s a long time of waiting, why was it so delayed?

yes i did contact home office to escate it right about the 5 month mark thats june 2021...and after wards sent an email...and also got the MP to escalate but i got the same regular respond...
but i sent an email escalation recently at june 2022..stating i have been waiting for 17 months...and got a respond july 13
i believe because i applied at the height of covid played a role...

I applied in May and attended a biometric appointment in June. However. When I paid for my application, I couldn't find the super-priority option. How did you use this option to apply?

[Krystal2022]

Thank you hayatss.
There was an option for super priority on the payment section. Good luck with your application.

Thank you so much for your reply mate.

Is it the same as we applied FLR FP for the first application ?

Should we send all documents which we sent with the first application or just Financial Requirements and English language proof?

Thanks, mate

It's an extension so all documents dated within 6 months plus the financial and english since you are looking to switch. Employment Letter should be dated within a month.

You get a checklist of documents to support your application anyway after submitting your application.

Good luck!

Hi,

I have a question as I am switching FLR FP 10 years to FLR FP 5 Years route

I am a Permanent salaried employee of the NHS £ 224400 p/year

1. Job starts on 10 Jan 2022
2. In March I went back home as an emergency for 3 weeks 2 weeks paid and 1 week Unpaid, NHS paid me 676 in my bank account, and pays shows £0 for the month of March and they adjust this amount in the Month of April Payslp.

The last six months' earnings are £10300 with £0 earning on the month of march.

Do I meet financial requirements?


Thanks

Hi,
Just wanted to ask, when you switched to 5 year parent route, will your previous 2.5 years on 10 year route count towards your current 5 years on parent route? Or would you start the 5 years afresh and complete the 5 years?

Thanks

It won't be counted toward the 5 years .which means you lost 2.5 years .. which will make it 7.5 years in total
