Don't caseworkers consider taxpayers money aswel when they making these decisions because most of these cases will be won on appeal.

I dont think that they even know what they are doing like someone on here was refused saying he still had links in India when he wasn't Indian lol and like they haven't made decision on yours yet when I am sure it must be straight forward sorry to hear that you couldn't go today on your flight ukba should be taken to courts and make them go through what all of us have to go through

I'm telling yah hun they are rushing to clear the backlog and not considering application properly. The 1st time I was told on the 18th june by a ukba call agent that my appplication was allocated to caseworker then they confirm it in a email to ombudsman on the 1st july so therefore i thought I would have heard something by now. I rang them this morning they states application not decided yet so I guess I won't be waiting for the postman tomorrow because it seems like the caseworkers love to look at me and my kids pictures why he/she haven't made a decision yet. I thought they take 2 weeks to make decision once its allocated a caseworker but I guess my thought is wrong.... I hope your sis appeal or try the T form route u guys will be successful in the end.

Hi sanny UKBA may prove you wrong. The reason I'm saying this is because I rang on a Thursday which was the 27/6/13 and was told its with the case working unit and that the application is yet to be divided or better still incomplete.
Only to receive a call from my solicitor on the 2/7/13 that my BRP has been received. The decision letter actually came four days after the BRP.
So in a nutshell my dear I don't think their system is updated. Don't be surprised you will receive your package tomorrow.
Soon sanny very soon!

I hope so too hun.

yeah they said something about it is refused but our family had some legacy application in 2008 which was refused but the decision was only made on the parents. they even asked for our photographs that time so i am sure it meant that we were given the right . but now they said they might consider her in that application. so first of all it seems stupid to even refuse her flr (O) and also if the application was in 2008 how can they take 5 years and still not make decision on it. will be talking to lawyer as soon i get the refusal paper and go for judicial review or tell them to reconsider and btw if you called them today and they said they havent made decision yet then i dont think you will be getting your documents back by end of this week because if they had made decision and your documents were on the way back then they would have told you even though i hope i am wrong and its another silly mistake by them

[summer2013]

bad news guys. my sister flr (O) has been refused :/ the mp rang them and they told the decision to the mp and said the paper have been sent back to us . i cant belive it. she is british born lived her all her life except the 2/3 years of her life. and she has been refused

sorry for the refusal, definitely some of this case workers in the HO have no clue what they are doing,they are creating more instead of clearing the backlog. what hopes are left to as when they refusing someone who leaved here all her live.

May DEAR GOD help as, send all of bad caseworkers on long holiday until end of summer

[Believe2013]

Congrats Ola and what a fantastic alias you have OLADPOUNDS

[Believe2013]

Ali90, sorry to hear about your sister's situation - could you shed a bit of light on the refusal please? If I interpret the law correctly, If your parents or one of your parents were lawfully settled in the UK then your sister by birth is unequivocally a British Citizen regardless of the 3 year absence out of the UK. The Home Office are not the law they are there to enforce the law but they do it incorrectly hence the numerous court cases, appeals and tribunals they inevitably lose. I am told 1 in 4 cases they don't even bother turning up to court at all! No wonder why the Tories want to quash the appeals route!

[BIGGY25]

Congrats namesake enjoy your freedom. (Obolowo won) at last!

i have only found out that she has been refused they sent the refusal out on 15th so hopefully will be getting the reasons in papers tomorrow. only tomorrow i can shed more light on it . none of my parents are lawfully settled yet. had family ILR in 2006 i think they refused it last year and had some legacy case too. they refused that too but now the mp said that HO said that they will consider my sister in that application which they were meant to make a decision on years ago. its too confusing but hey its HO its never clear with them

and yeah i heard that too. if u try to take them to court they usually withdraw their case . so hope it will work too.
