Is ur application a fresh one or an extention? Can u share ur strory plz.
hi my application is fresh. and heres my story, came here on student visa and i was not able to apply for flrm becasue my wife has been suffering from a cyst infection for the past 4 years. she eventually had a final surgery which doctors still say she needs to come for regular check up. so after my course ended officially i had a temporary full time job and she also got a job so when both salaries are combined we exceed 1550 but since my visa was expiring in jan 30 i couldnt take the risk of over staying and i could not meet the 6 months for the flrm i did go to the peo but was told i have to post it so i applied for the 10 year partner route with only 3 months payslips and other documents. so basically thats my story.
I sent documents on the 15th
hom office received on 16t
money taked 17th jan
ack letter received 21st jan dated 17th
then just this 12th march tuesday i called HO sying i have not receivd my bio letter and i was told that they wil lrequest and it will take 15 working days but i received it yester da 15th mach but letter was dated on the 8th. so am a bit confused my self. may b when i get another bio letter ill just call and explain cos i made the call on 12th march recedv letter 16th march but leter was dated 8th march. lol. but am praying and believe my case will be granted..
what about you whats your story
I suppose your application was expedited as your circumstance was what the UKBA will consider as a compelling one.

My application is through my british daughter born Dec 2011 my girlfriend is on ILR. I came on a student visa which i overstayed due to financial reason. I was told by lawyer i have a case using article 8 so i crossing my fingers...it has been a nightmare....

dont worry you will be fine. trust me God is in control. but if i may ask well i applied on the 10 year partner route. and what do you mean by ukba considers it as compelling case?

What i meant was ur GF situation might weigh positively on ur application, the UKBA are often compassionate with such cases and expedite the process. Your timeline definitely looks like an expedited application. On average applicants have had to wait 6months here on this thread to get their Bio...

So since we applied before the new law came into place , are we gonna get 3 years or 30 months ? Does anybody know ?

30 months or 3 years I didn't mind as I'm desperate so much now!
