I think there’s has to be more to this story, clearly for him to have been refused on suitability grounds means that there’s some sort of criminality involved.

There’s Life in the UK app you can download on your phone to practice with. Keep practicing and also the app will tell you which areas you are not doing well on and you can concentrate on those areas. Once you are more confident you can retake the exam. Passing it would save you money rather than pa...

Thanks all, I also didn’t think there would be much hope due to the very long absence.

My partner’s parents lived in the UK in the 1970s. Her father arrived from Nigeria in 1972 as a student on scholarship. My partner and her immediate older sibling were born in the UK in 1975 and 1979. They are both British citizens. Her parents obtained ILR in 1978. The parents returned to Nigeria i...

Can you provide the email address you used to contact them please? Thanks Hello Kamsi, Wow, that was fast. People are waiting 10 months and over. What's the magic? When you emailed them, which email did you use? Did you have to escalate? I also applied for a fee waiver in January which was fully ac...

Would you be entitled to a refund as the application will not be treated as a super priority? I hope so.

Hello Kamsi, Wow, that was fast. People are waiting 10 months and over. What's the magic? When you emailed them, which email did you use? Did you have to escalate? I also applied for a fee waiver in January which was fully accepted. Then I have submitted the application on 25th February and had bio...

Update to help those still waiting: Applied for fee waiver: 18/01/22 Email sent to UKVI to chase up fee waiver application: 21/03/22 UKVI sent fee waiver decision via email on 22/3/22. Fee waiver application partially accepted. Waiver granted for IHS due to working for the NHS. FLR(FP) application s...

Being stopped shouldn’t be a problem in future as exactly the same thing you’ve narrated happened to me in 2017 when I was returning from the USA. I had had my visa curtailed in 2016 and was given 2 months to either make a new application in a different immigration category or leave the country. The...

Two months after applying for fee and IHS waivers and having not received a decision I emailed the Team last night to chase it up and received a decision today.

Visa application fee waiver was rejected but the IHS was accepted. I currently work for the NHS and have done so since 2013.

In some cases it takes more than 5 weeks. I applied for fee waiver on 18/01/22 and still waiting.

And to add salt to injury you would have paid nearly 3,000 pounds for the application and more if you add legal fees.

Lately I’ve become really angry with the system. I’ve lots of sympathy for those who are just starting this brutal journey of 10 years route to settlement.

You’ll be allowed to continue working provided you submitted a fee waiver application whilst your visa is still valid, that’s before 11/03/22.

I applied for a fee waiver a month ago and still waiting for the outcome. I wanted to ask if anyone has applied recently and has an idea how long it takes to process the application.

Secondly are decisions of the application communicated via email or letter.

Thanks!

Thanks

I’ll not be eligible for ILR through Long Residence route until some time next year but trying to work out which month. In a letter dated 7th May 2013 I was informed by the Home Office that I had been granted limited leave to remain under the 10 year route to settlement (this was following the July ...

Thank you very much Manci.

Hi all, I will be submitting a fee waiver application in the next 3-4 weeks and I wondered if anyone knew how long it’s taking to hear back after the application is submitted. I know that no two cases are ever the same, it would give me an indication of how long I would be waiting before getting a r...

Thanks

I am due to submit an application for leave to remain extension in January 2022 but prior to that I’ll be asking for a fee waiver.

Does anyone know how long it’s taking to consider fee waiver applications (i.e from the time the request is submitted and to when a reply is received from UKVI)?

Just to help reassure you, you can apply for ILR once you’ve completed 10 years (which will be in July 2022) even if you still have time left on your current visa. In fact you can submit your application 28 days before you’ve completed the 10 years period. I am in similar situation as you, I was gra...

You are worrying unnecessarily, providing you meet all the requirements just as you did with the first application I don’t see why your application wouldn’t be approved. Rather than hinder, the Supreme Court case and other case laws in relation to the best interests of children is actually a positiv...

It’s a total rip off and because it’s immigrants that are affected no one seem to care including the Parliamentarians. I called the Home Office customer services 2 days ago and the lady I spoke to said she didn’t work for the Home Office and her job was just to give general immigration advice, she h...

I made an online application on 24th May for the extension of FLR (FP) and provided biometrics on 28th May (2 weeks and 4 days ago); however I am yet to receive an acknowledgement letter from the Home Office. My leave to remain expires on 30th June, and for me to continue working beyond this date my...
