Kitty, My employment was re-instated as soon as I sent them the letter from UKBA and they also checked again with the 'Employer checking service' @ UKBA, and they confirmed that I was allowed to continue working cos I made a valid and in-time application. So I'm back to work now but in the meantime ...
The correct application form for extension of DL based on marriage to a British Citizen is definitely 'FLR O form' as confirmed by UKBA. UKBA has actually accepted their mistake of sending back my original FLR O form as invalid, though I'm still waiting for a decision on my case but they sent me a l...
Hi Soniet247...
From my understanding of DL, u can only switch to a spouses visa if u make the application in your home country and not in the UK.
btw I'm still waiting for a response from HO as per extension of my DL based on marriage..really getting very frustrated...
Hi JohnGotti, thanks for the response... From my previous post, i mentioned that the HO returned my application as invalid saying that i completed the wrong form and by the time i received my documents back , my visa had already expired... I'm currently on mat leave and my employer has terminated my...
JohnGotti.... Pls how long did the HO take to process your first extension of DLR based on article 8 .i.e. extension after the first 3yr DLR? I applied for an extension of my 3yr DLR using form FLR O (as advised by HO) before expiry of the DLR. January 2010, HO sent back all my documents as invalid ...
I made thesame article 8 application based on marriage to a BC in September 2004... In October 2006, 2 immigration officers paid us a home visit just to interview me and my husband to confirm our marriage was genuine and subsisting ...DECEMBER 2006...I was granted 3yrs discretionary leave! As u hv a...
soniet... I submitted all the documents with my original application in September 2004 via an immigration solicitor, HO acknowledged receipt. I didnt hear anything from HO for 1year, I then involved my MP who wrote the HO to expediate my case, nothing happened for a few months. Then all of a sudden,...
Many thanks for sharing the content of ur letter. It looks promising that u will be granted if u are able to submit all the requested documents. I submitted almost all of thesame documents when I made my original FLR application (article 8) in 2006 and was then granted the DLR for 3yrs. As stated in...
please can you shed more light on ur FLR O application? Was it an application based on marriage, article 8 grounds or extension of a discretionary leave to remain? I also applied for an extension of my 3 yr discretionary leave on 8.01.10, based on marriage to a BC, but I've not heard from the HO sin...
Well, i was in a similar situation back in 2006, when I overstayed on a students visa and then got married to my husband, a british citizen. I also made an application on FLR M -article 8, I was granted a 3yr discretionary leave to remain but it took 2yrs 3months to get a reponse from the HO, even w...
Newbie, from ur last post u said it took HO a month to grant an extension of your DL on 2 occasions. Yes?
I applied for my first extension of DL in January 2010 (based on marriage to a british citizen), and I'm still waiting for a response from HO!
Any advice pls??
Minime, hv u heard from HO yet as per ur DLR extension? If yes, hw long did it take pls? I also applied for a DLR extension in Jan 2010, still waiting no response yet from HO.
anneki1258....have you heard from HO yet as per ur application? I'm also in thesame situation, I've been waiting since January 2010 for a decision on my application.

HO sent back all my documents in January 2010 as invalid saying I should have...
