@Vinny The previous two applications I used immigration lawyer were before 2018. But the current application I did my self on Sept 2021. It was the one, I uploaded all the supporting documents online but during the finger prints appointment at Croydon, HO staff kept my passport and old biometric. I ...

@Vinny Sorry for a late response. My previous two applications I did through an immigration lawyer. On both occasions, she requested original passport and biometric card and returned the passport after the decisions with other documents. Hence I was under impression those two ''Mandatory documents &...

@Vinny thank for the response. About the foreign passport copy. Are you talking about employer or HO? If you are talking about employers, after the interview was successful. You have to meet the requirement team to see your right to work documents and other stuff. When you inform them that you have ...

Hi All. All my previous extensions I had been made through immigration lawyer. However my current extension I had to do it independently due to my financial position. The Fee waiver was successfully and I made my extension application online in Sept 2021 followed by submitting documents and fingerpr...

Hi Adebim. 4 months is too long for a fee waiver application. Normally, it takes up to 2 months. I think, Home Office don’t want to take too long to make a decision as your financial situation might change. That said, it is HO, things might have changed. For instance FLR(fp). I read somewhere last y...

Hi Guys, Applied for 4th FLR FP Extension in May 2021, and still awaiting, below is the timeline. Applied in May 2021 Biometric in May 2021 No additional details requested Decision: Still Pending Our MP wrote and received a reply that this route is not limited to standard timeframe and decision wil...

Submitted--26/03/21 Biometric--16/04/21 Documents requested--None yet Decision--Still waiting It's been almost 9 months since submission. Still silence. What do you mean “Documents requested - None yet”. Do you mean extra documents if needed or you did not submit any documents after your application?

Hi Everyone. I was working for the NHS trust as permanent staff but recently I have been working on zero hours contract to different trust; A&E department and also on other wards whilst I’m looking for a full time nhs position closer to my residence. My visa was expired 6 months ago but applicat...

Most of the posts I have ready, Fee waiver takes up to 2 months. They must have a deadline which it is not known to us. I can’t see the agency takes longer time to decide as your circumstances might change. For instance, the agency decides you will pay half of fee due to the evidence you had submitt...

@Karimmehta I know people who were given discretionary leave(3 years). After the second extension, they could be able to apply for ILR. But, I’m not sure if it is exist. The 3 year X 2 DLR route was replaced by 2.5 year FLR FP, which is what the user is already on and needs 10 years (4 X 2.5 years)...

Thanks manci & JimmyR for your support! Yes we tried that link, in fact we tried that link while on the phone with the UKVI helpline. It could not find my application. I was told that it works for people applying from the EEA settlement scheme. Now for the ILR, I have a UAN & a UKVI referen...

Hi.

I have not received any update/decision regarding my visa extension application.
Do you know if it is okay to use the link to check if there is any decision made?

Thanks

Hi. I know someone had the same problem with one of NHS employer. She gave her employer the Unique Application Number (UAN) and she was assured that the ECS was done. After a few weeks and numerous phone calls. Someone told him “it was not sent properly”. Then someone did it and the employer receive...

Yes.

If you’re appealing for yourself without a solicitor or immigration adviser

You have 14 days to appeal from the date the decision was sent.

Thank you for the response.

If I’m using solicitor or Immigration adviser?

Hi All. I hope you are having a good week! In case, if the application for the extension would be refused. Do the HO often give a right to appeal the decision? And, how long do they give to file the appeal at the immigration tribunal? I want to know how long they will give me to prepare a court bund...

As far as I can see, Private Life applicants for limited leave under 276ADE (1) do not require any English test.

Thank you for your reply.

That’s what I have been told.
However, can you check the link below stating the opposite.

Hi All. I have already submitted my application(private life) by using FLRfp form without the English test as I was advised by various ppl that the test was not required at this stage. However there was questions in the application about the English test, and I’m starting to worry now! I have contac...

I have submitted online documents required to support FLRfp private life about 10 days ago. Roughly, how long does it take to make a decision?

Which means no body can check the right to work or immigration status online without share code. We can’t view the share code without BRP. No, this is not correct. The Employer Checking Service is a separate system with direct access to HO records. Also, if the employer gets a positive response it ...

When you apply online, after submission, you will be directed to the UKCVAS portal to make an appointment. One last questions if you don’t mind which I have already posted them before. If you are making a visa extension application via parent route or private life long residence. The application fo...

If even I had biometric card and finger prints were taken. I have to do every extension?

Yes, it has to be done for every application you make.

Thanks


Previously, I received a letter from HO to go to the post office finger prints. How do I make an appointment?

After completing FLR(fp) form. Also do I have to complete BRP application? You are required to make an appointment with UKCVAS to enroll your biometrics (photo and fingerprints). You also have to upload your documents on the UKCVAS portal BEFORE your appointment. Thank you for your reply. If even I...
