Thanks Deb1999. I applied as Parent of a British child myself FLR (FP). Waiting to get a response from UKBA.

My application was in on the 14th of January. Done my biometrics 29th of January so I am hoping to hear from them very soon. I have booked a plane ticket to travel in March so fingers crossed.

Give it a go and your partner might be granted leave to remain. Who knows? Good luck.

Hello everyone,
I just want to say congratulations to everyone that has been granted and to those that were refused, please don't give up, there's definitely light after the tunnel. I just want to encourage people with my case, I first came across this site in September, when I was 1st refused, stated my case on the forum, since then , I have been reading comments and contributions from everyone. My solicitor 1st advised to put in PAP, which I did, but no response from HO,So, my solicitor advised to ignore the JR and put in a new application, which I did in November, HO requested for more documents in January, although, I was unable to provide everything required, like full 2 years of cohabitation with my partner, but with a cover letter, to God be the Glory, my solicitor just called me today that, my BRP has arrived. With God all things are possible.

Congratulations!!!! It's great to hear of your success and enjoy your freedom. My application seems to share your timeline and I would be greatful if you could provide me with some information. When did you apply, when did you submit the further information requested, what gap did you have in your evidence requested , had you lived with your partner for the 2 years and did you have a british child ? Thank you. God bless you

Hi Evie, I think they refuse if ure living with the father. That shows u don't have sole responsibility or the child is not living with you alone.

@Turboa, I re applied end of November ,requested for more document 2nd of January , submitted on the 14. Asked for proof from 2011 nov-2013nov and other docs,we've been staying together since 2010, but the only thing I had to prove that was to request for electoral cert from the council to show that I registered in the same address,but had something to show from April 2013. I have a British child and a partner with ILR

@Kunzlek thank you for your response . I was aslo submitted the requested docs on 14/01/14 so I guess I should hear from them soon. What is worrying me however is the fact that me and my partner have not lived together for 2 years. Enjoy your freedom and stay blessed

Hello every one
I am going to apply for FLR(O) on the basis of 7 year child concession rules. My story is
I came UK
on Student visa May 2007
My 4 years 8 months old son and my wife also joined 10 days later May 2007
my son is going to finish 7 years by end of May 2014

My question is
1) How much maintenance fund need for 3 of us(out side of London) ?
2) For how may days i need to show my bank statement ?
3) Is there any english test requirements ?

Please note my visa will expire by end of july 20014.

Any help on above question will be very helpful. thanks

@rubablu. For this application there is no need for financial requirements and no need english test. But dont jump on 7 years child application if you have otherl option avaliable. There are maxium number of refusals under this category. Its very tough to get a stay under this
. My advise is try to switch your current visa to any other category like work permit, student etc.

@Rubablu You got still a good time, because your visa expiring july 20014, look for another option, forget about this crap 7 years child rule. If you don't have any option, in the last resort, you can use this 7 years weapon, something is better than nothing. So seriously look for other option my friend. Good luck.

owo!!!! thats quick. Will get a stay soon. Good luck. I applied my child british passport on 30/01/2014. My solicitor saying you don't need to make new application at this moment. He told me he send fruther reprsentation to the home office with my child british citizenship letter and saying our client circumstances are changed becasue their child got british citizenship. He told me within a month home office should reply. Lets see what will happend? he told me why you spend another £1200 for a new application, because your refused applciation is already there and they hold all of your passport.

It is a smart decision, hopefully HO will respond and if not make new application.
