Hi all, not sure if you remember me from 2015? Some people here told me I had no chance. I fought and I won. I have had my BRP for over 2yrs now and due to expire in May 20th. I got it with a "work permitted" condition. Therefore, I do not need annymore sponsorships but I have defaulted to...
Hi all just an update on my appeal. I have my hearing in june. Thank God for his goodness. Wishing everyone who is still waiting the best. Just wondering GodGives, are you allowed to work or are you working whilst you wait for the appeal? Mine was lodged last week and I am hoping I can work else I ...
OMG Sunny that is amazing news! Maybe you have shared your story before but I'm new, tell us about the journey? 13 years? How was the process? Very good news indeed!
Edited: don't worry, just seen your story... It was a long battle for your husband. Congratulations!!!!

Hi guys, I would like to share the good news. My wife has received her BRP today. Timeline is below: Application type: FLR (FP) partner Applied: 24-02-2015 BRP received: 02-04-2015 My wife has been an overstayer for past 7 months. I have prepared my wife case myself and we are very happy and still ...
Well, that's because I made a mistake thinking that my visa was due to expire in march 2015 when in actual fact it was in 2014... Reason I missed that was because I did not travel/leave the country for years, so my brp was always put away in a safe place. If I'd known better, I would have applied fo...
Hi everyone, So many success stories and positive people on this thread - it is so amazing to read. The solicitors are helping me apply for discretionary leave (FLR - FP). I have gathered as much evidence as possible. Wish me luck! Well done to those that got their visa and keeping everything cross...
Thank you Faelle. I think at the time my employer said that they exhausted the sponsorship - meaning I need an extended visa that does not require a new certificate. Atleast that's what I understood. However, They already gave me a letter to support this application stating that my job was a permane...
Hi guys, I really need some advice. If someone is so kind out there... Anyone who has experience with the appeals, how does it work? Do I stand a chance in winning this case? What can I do to help the situation? My application was made under discretionary grounds - FLR(pl) private life and was refus...
Outcome - a letter to the MP was sent saying I can work whilst this is going on... I received it two days ago. Received a decision this morning, application refused but I was given a right of appeal. Phew! We will appeal obviously. Question is, can I continue to work until a court decision? My emplo...
Just a little update. I was asked to submit my biometrics last week. I am guessing this is just standard procedure? It doesn't mean anything? Shouldn't get my hopes too high?!! I was just so happy to hear from them. The solicitors said to expect a 4-12 week wait for any kind of response or decision.
So the application went in and an acknowledgement has been sent back... Does anybody know how long it will now take to get a decision? My work gave me 4 weeks - such little time to sort things out... Am I able to find out from the HO roughly where I stand or how far they are with the processing so I...

But I've been told that FLR(FP) would not be a good option as I am single and have no children... So my private life is solely dependant on my work and friends...? He said to take the route of applying for DL using the FLR(O)
I just literally got off the phone with an immigration barrister. He is basically saying that at this point it will be a waste of money to get a specialist lawyer... At the minute the application needs a lot of evidence (work/friends/community groups/MP - letters) and a strong case cover letter expl...
I've been surfing the net like crazy... Any recommendations? I will keep looking in the meantime. Thanks.
*edit: someone recommended this - http://www.spammer.com/
is that what you mean? They have good reviews so far... I will give them a ring tomorrow morning for a free consultation.
I wondering if anyone has ever used or heard of Mediation Law Consultancy? Are they any good? They quoted me 2100£ fixed fee on taking my case. here's their website - check them out and let me know if you think they are legible enough... xxxxxx
I guess the question would be, will I still have a job here? They might fill my post in a year and I might not get another job in the UK for a while. Don't really know.
Hi, yes, I see your point. I did think of that. But what about my things here? My mortgage/flat? I mean I am sure I can find work back there but it will be a very slow start... It's just, there is a lot to get my head round. After 10 years I literally have no life in S.A at all - it will be like sta...
Hi Mole, the advisors will send in a letter. When it gets rejected they will then take that next step an apply for a JR. They wanted to send in a FLR(O) application but their barrister advised against it. I am not sure what to do next... What are really my chances at this point? Am I fighting a losi...
Right, the background of my visa was that, in 2004 I was offered a job in the UK (I was in South Africa). Then came over on a 3 year working visa that expired in 2007 which I then extended that same working visa and they granted me the limited to work 5 year residence permit. My work helped me reapp...
