[dapsonlee]

@majojo they asked for my daughters british passport even though i included teh birth cert and proof that the application was with the passport office an dtehy asked me to write a letter to them to confirm my living arrangements with my child before considering my application.
i replied that i was working full time though teh reply was drafted by my layer for me and sent out

Congratulations muffin007. HO served you well. Wishing you a very bright future ahead along with your beautiful family.


Verbina, good job for being the best seller of the novel you published to the case worker and cutting off the middle man and also involving your daughter. You know the powerful words of a kid goes a long way to melting the heart of a case worker (fingers crossed she is a wonderful mother with a heart of gold). My prayers are with you. It will be nice to close off this year with all of us off this forum. I pray it will be so by the special annointed grace of God.

Haha I wish my daughter mentioned any of these ( wonderful mother, heart of gold). Instead she said she would like to "Firmly argue against you deporting my mother.... " then proceeds to list her academic achievements at school and describe her glowing future prospects. At the end she goes into detail to explain that me being deported will infringe her human rights lol! I have no idea where she got that human rights stuff from, but the letter is very very intense ..... Hmmm if it doesnt work, the effect could be quite the opposite

Like mother, like daughter lol. If she can write that at her age, i will love to see what she will when she probably end up being a lawyer lol. They really grow up too fast these days. Well if it does not work, i wanna then believe all those case workers are not humans but manufactured robots. fingers crossed. i trust you to have notified your MP, i am sure he will be compelled to act upon that as well. Fingers crossed you are another step closer. (15 congratulatory thread messages await you.)

Not a lot to contribute today except an interesting judgement, linked below, which might be of interest with regards to the new rules and judges interpreting the law.

Its best you send their birth certificates and a letter explaining they dont have bristish passport yet but u are in the process of getting them one. Explain u are british pro send ur passport too. Start the process now and then hopefully before they make a decision u would have got there passports. Once you have that send it to the homeoffice.

All the best

Would you suggest a copy of the passport or has to be the original passport? I'm about to do the same

Nice 1 Verbina. Let me know your take on this. My own assumption is that the judges continue to interpret the law as it should, not the way Mrs May wants it. I stand to be corrected!!

Good morning, extremely encouraging for all those with children! Nice to see that the judiciary system is well intact! Having said that, I do not like the way criminals invoke and tarnish the core aspects of article 8 by making a mockery of the entire clause - I am not defending the indefensible here but you can see why the govt feels frustrated and hard done by with the ECtHRA - Well this is what they subscribed to so it shouldn't come as a surprise. It's all in the fine print!!

I called home office and the person that picked was a bit rude. She said my application is not completed, I shd wait and shouldn't call OH again. Wow

Don't let that upset or weigh you don, you do get them nasty like that especially if its a woman on the other end. No offense meant but the women who pick the calls in the HO are mostly

madam nasty

, the men are a bit diplomatic. It is well!

Hello everyone!
Just wanted to ask a quick question.
Does anyone know how long it takes to get a reply when JR application have been filed?

Hi Just checking have you applied for permission for JR? if so, you should get a response within 14 days. if you have lodged the actual JR proceedings you will hear from the court within 6 weeks (well used to be) to get a hearing date. I have been waiting longer than that for a hearing date! There is a massive backlog. Priority is given to those that have been issued with removal notice or deportation orders sadly

good morning everyone!
I have sent my FLR O application again on 5th October. my current leave expiring on 10th. i just realized this morning that there is a new version of FLR O starting from 1st of October but i printed and filled my application on 29th of September. i wanted to ask would that make my application invalid cause if it would, I am in trouble so I went to my solicitor this morning and he said relax cause according to the rules, old version remains valid within three weeks of the release of new version.
please tell what you guys think cause i still can fill and post new version by tomorrow if i need.
by the way, both forms are exactly the same apart from the version and it says home office instead of UKBA, thanks

I would not panic and go with the solicitor's advice, there has to be a grace period or overlap for new admin forms to be put into use. I hope the case workers dealing with your case understand this too. Good luck
