FLR(O) Discretionary Leave waiting times ..??

[cookies]

Guys what address should I send more supporting documents to (flr (o)), before it's decided? Thanks

Probably the same address you sent your application to... I would be on the safe side and call them and ask! You don't want your extra docs ending up lost somewhere in that crazy warehouse LOL!

Getting through to them by fon is almost not possible but I'll keep calling, everything's fallen apart in that organisation! Thanks!

Hi majojo

I would recommend you email the Ukba and also send a letter via recorded delivery just to cover yourself. Personally I would also get my mail redirected for a year just to cover all bases as they are not an efficient bunch.

I'm not that familiar with the 10year partner route, maybe others on this forum can advise. I applied got dlr extension and have been waiting a little over 6 months.

To get you post redirected you need to go to a post office with proof of I'd and ask for a post or mail re-direction form. You have to pay for this service. All your post in the next year will be re-directed to your new address

Oh dear! Home Office has received my application. (royal mail track and trace) now wait until they actually look at it and add it to the system. *bites nails* I'm so nervous!!!
Have a great week everyone!

Yes my mp wrote to them twice and have written to them again last week, Now waiting on a response from them which is usually very vague saying they dont know how much longer it will take i need to keep on waiting and i will be contacted in due time.

Please can my partner applied for flr (o) why my ilr application is pending.....
Please your advise will be highly appreciated. Many thanks .

Thats not a good idea for either of you, HO can say you both can go back home together(even if you are from two different countries), that happened to a friend of mine whose partner had already gotten ILR.They have two kids together. Dont give them any reason to turn you down!

[justice12]

Sound like to many refusals on the EX category in last 3 weeks !!
It seems to me that the caseworkers have been surprised at the number of people who qualify under EX and are inventing reasons to refuse.
Most of them got British wife +British Kids .
And the refusals are based on ( applicant had no status OR the parent was a visitor)
the frustrating thing is that the HO wont serve the applicant(s) with removal notice knowing that the courts would overturn their decisions .
Down the years all this rejections & refusals will then build up to another backlog again .

@Cookies....all the best with your application and now the waiting begins.As for me have bit my nails and plucked out my eye-lashes all in the name of waiting.Reckon will join you in biting my toe nails...*bitestoenails*....shall post them to HO as a reminder....lol....*hidesface*

dont listen to such rubbish home secretary created that story to make a point as to why she wanted to remove or toughen the human rights side of the applications.

in all honesty who would run such a risk as to involve a animal/pet into their application.

Seriously if she has nothing good to say it best she just keep quiet, they have tried so many different ways to control migration ,when will they realise that migration can never me controlled its a problem first world country faces check out Usa and Canada no one has time to hunt down illegal immigrant and pay 1000s of tax payers money to send them back to thier country.

why dont they focus on getting the country out of tripple dip recession instead of focusing on people who has built a family life here.

[Keisha]

@Shola...well,I'm just making an assumption since they don't have a set time-line *thinking about dispatches*.You always hear that your application is in process,even after 8months,they are still saying the same thing.Since,ur applying for an extention,reckon u will be getting ur answer in lesson 6months...if lucky!I applied last August and still waiting even today after submitting my bios 3months ago.But,I pray that all goes well for me and everyone else.

The issue of including a pet as part of the reasons why the applicant should be allowed to stay in the UK has been so grossly taken out of context. My solicitor represented the Bolivian applicant and I understand the case very well. When the news broke in 2011, coincidentally I had an appointment with my solicitor and the appointment was delayed for 30 minutes because he was being interviewed by the BBC.

The applicant was not allowed to stay because he had a pet, I understand that the UKBA failed to apply one of its policies which was in place at the time, and this policy would have favoured the applicant. In the applicant's supporting statement which he sent as part of his application, he listed the level of commitment he had established in the UK with his gay partner and having a cat was one of the things he listed. So, naively, Theresa May's aids picked this particular point out and Theresa May went to the Conservative Conference and used it as a point to show why the Human Right Act should be redefined.

@ babycakes please if you dont mind - what sort of extension are you applying for and on what basis? I understand all extensions go throw active reviews but unless change in circumstance from why initial leave was granted then the active review should be straight forward application, thou we all know UKBA themself make simple cases complicated. Please advise nature of your application if you dont mind. Thanks.

application type: flr o (compassionate grounds)
application made: 06-june-2012
biometric recieved: 18th august but dated 15th
biometric done: 19th august
mp contacted ho: december 2012
reply to mp on january 2013: that my application is in a queue waiting consideration and they can give time scale on it as its outsie the rule.
rang ho: last thursday they reply saying application still outstanding

brief story: i came in the country at the age of 13years old my dad brought me here and dump me with my mum and ever since i havent heard from him and he use to beat me up and i have 5scars on my body i got from him while i was with him back home.....my mum aint got no leave and me and her dont get alone as no connection there....i went to high school and college here and been in a relationship with my gf since high school... we both just turned 18years old and i made my application when i was 17years old.

grounds on which i applied:

Domestic violence from my father back home: sent picture evidence of the scars on my body.

attended school and college here: sent in all my school n college certificates which clearly shows i have intergrated with the society and i have adapted to the life here and will be hard to reajust

In a serious relation with a british citizen: sent in all pictures and her birth certificate with a latter from her confirming we been together from high school till date and intend to get married in the future.

covering letter explaining i came in as a minnor (13years old) there for wont be counted as an offender which i was told that by an immigration officer herself when i found out i had no status and i have no ties back home anymore.

please can you tell me what my chances are anymore as i cant wait for you rreply
