Just a quick question -

Thanks very much!

My application was refused on Saturday :( The reasons were that I haven't been with my partner long enough, I didn't prove that I have no ties to my home country, and that I didn't meet the requirements that constitute private life. Even though i've been living here for 8 years, since I was 14 >.> ...

The program was absolutely shocking and made me feel sick to my stomach. If I thought I would be happier going back to America than I would because this whole process is taking so long and having such an effect on my mental health. BUT I have been in the UK for 8 years now, and feel more British tha...

Thanks a...

Anyways...to bring it back on topic... Can anyone who has had their application decided please share the time it took from submitting biometrics to having a decision made? I understand that every application is different and take different times, but this may give me an average idea as to how long ...

I contacted my solicitor and they said 'Oh yes, we have a letter but we only received it this morning (26th)' So where the heck happe...

Hello, So this morning someone from my MP's office rang me with urgent news saying she got a reply back from the UKBA concerning my application.

It's now been over 6 months since I sent in my application, I was thinking of contacting my MP but I don't know what to say? Any examples/ideas? Also, I was looking on the UKBA site and it said you cannot contact them if you've been waiting less than 6 months but they don't give you a phone number ...
