Yes, we have to wait for another email, once they get the passport back to VFS in Lima and we can go and collect the passport, and then will know if they issued the family permit or not, so we still don't know.
Hi Danny,

Praise the Lord....Giving you all some hope n happiness..... I just received my passport and finally after over more than 6months I received my visa. God has heard my prayers and granted us this visa.... I wish n pray that all those who were sailing in the same boat as me too be granted their visas and join with their families soon
Hahaha well the term lottery seems fit for this situation! I am not really keeping a count on the days anymore. I just have it in mind before applying for an escalation.danny27 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2017 2:46 pmYes Simran
Apparently we are just counting which actually has no relevance to the order in which the Permits are issued. Living in hope .
We have no choice it’s seems more like a lottery I guess hahahaha.
But have to deal with it as there is no turning back now.

I share my timeline here:
Biometrics: 14/07/2017 from East Asia country
Not Straightforward: 02/08/2017
Escalated: 25th August, 19th and 28th September, 30th October
Issued: 03/11/2017
I have two very small babies, I got more and more desperate days go by. In the very end of October, I escalated (this time and only time by email) the last time as well as complained to Solvit (Second time), EC, UKVI, my husband's MP, Jornalist, UK Consulate Office in my country. I dont know what worked.
In the email to MP I quoted Teresa May's People First, is it going to be no more than this two words? My MP is in the same party.
I sent to the Jornalist the link to this forum, she also called my husband in UK.
In the escalation and complaint to UKVI I made very strong tones to UKVI including PAP wordings. I quoted Directive 2004/38/EC and (3. EUN2.3 Guidance) and Directive 2004/38/EC /* COM/2009/0313 final */ and Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights and CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION Article 24. 3.. This was a severe interruption to my family life without any reason and without any faults to my family. I was totally furious.
Please note UK laws now state that they can take as long as they want if the case is not straightforward, please check Directive 2004/38/EC and (3. EUN2.3 Guidance), which violated EU law that delays of more than four weeks are not reasonable. I pointed it to EC and they haven't got back to me on this.
I am no legal profession but I tried my best to understand those laws and try to fight for my family. Please do not ask me for more legal questions.
I was there, understand how bad it could go. I hope my share here can give you some strength and help some of you go back to normal life track as soon as possible.
