FLR(FP) Application time

[waqas734]

They returned my ilr brp and my sons passport within a week

Ok. Is it within a week of applying or decision? Sorry but I just want to know if someone can request brp for urgent need. Thanks

Yes you can request your documents anytime , just email them and they will send your passport and brp within 10 days as i needed my brp to apply my sons british passport which i later on sent to support my wife flrfp application and they never asked my passport and brp again as they had already copied them . Just google request your documents from ukvi and you will find a link

Hi is it consistently taking >6 months for FLR (FP) cases to be decided?

My wife is here on a student visa expiring early next year, we have a 2 month old baby together. I cannot provide all necessary evidence for FLR (M) earning requirements as I have a Ltd Company, I do have a house I can sell to meet savings requirements but it will take a while.

Our advisor says that she has consistent success with FLR FP cases and we can apply that way but mentioned varying the visa, so my idea is to apply FP but vary to M as soon as house is sold It would be reassuring if we believe that the FP application should be accepted if I could not sell my house though.

IF you apply the FLR FP Partner 10 year route BEFORE the visa expires, you won't have a problem varying to another visa.
The main thing is that your wife has a visa, she's got a valid BRP. The problem is that you'll be on a new route so her ILR will reset to the 10 year path. You will not have a problem and I don't think you need to sell the house to be that drastic.

piece of advice, do NOT let her overstay. Do NOT be afraid to apply for the appropriate route. You simply do not meet the financial obligations of a FLR M but do qualify for FLR FP.

The new system is set up so it's meant to be easier and apply online, no idea how it works but we had a same day success for an overstayer on a FLR FP route, very different to yours.

Just make sure you meet all the requirements for the partner route - cohabitation documents, marriage certificate and of course, your child makes a big difference. Apply online, provide a cover note with evidence and job is done. You don't need a solicitor but if you can afford one, go for it.

Hi bathanza em really happy that finally after along run u get visa in 1 day
I have trying to contact in ur premium successfull story but couldn’t get through as it’s locked
I want to ask u something
U said that u got letter from consulatant regarding ur medical problem
How do u get that
Was that gp or private ?
I have a similar case like u
I have applied for flr fp on my wife’s medical problem
After 8 months I got a letter saying that they need more documents & a letter from nhs consultant explaining the problem & treatments & they give me a deadline of 2 weeks
I have got just 5 days left
I would really like to ask u where shall I get those letters & reports for mri & scans
( my wife has got epilepsy & She can’t travel as well )

Hi all, I want to take advise regarding 7 year case on behalf of my son. He is 8.5 now. We have applied when he was 7 and got refusal after one year in Oct 2018 with appeal right. Appeal is due in June 2019. My solicitor sent a reconsideration request with appeal bundle already and said to us it is going 5-6 weeks to get a reply. From whichTwo weeks already passed. We will wait another 4 weeks. I just wanted to check would it be beneficial for us to go for one day service just for my son. Do I need to withdraw my appeal for my son before I go for one day service. I am asking coz if god forbid they refuse visa again I do not want to waist my appeal right.
Sorry it is long story but I wanted it to Brief to you before you talk to me.
Thanks in advance

Please ignore second last line from my previous message.

Your child should be 7 years old at the time of application, your solicitor is right you have not much chances in appeal, but try to extend your hearing if you can till july, and as soon as your child is 7 years old make a new application. There are so many judgements where it is established that if your child is not 7 years old at the date of application then your visa will be refused.

But we don’t have any reason to give them to extend our hearing date .what reason can we give .we thought to tell them our bundle is not ready yet but solicitor said they won’t accept this until it’s something serious like medical or something
.we hav got our other child as well who has spent 8 years in this country but not born here .she was 4 when came n she is now 12 vll take her all school records with us

Hello Shay007,
Did you hear anything back since then? I received the same letter yesterday along with my documents bundle excluding passport. The letter says all required documents has been scanned and any id documents will be retained until a decision is made. Mine was FLR HRO but the nature of letter was same so it would be be great to know if you had a positive outcome. I'm also reporting every 2 months.

Well mine was submitted on 12 April 2017
Same letter the one you got was revived on 15th December 2017 and then they give me refucsel on 6th March 2018 but they refused my application dated 15th December but refusel they hand over to me during the reporting and same time released on bail.
Are you reporting ??

Thanks again for the quick reply, and yes I am reporting(once a month). If I may ask do you know the timeframe of when your friend received his decision letter and his brp?

I think he was telling me 7/8 months

Thank you, mine shall be granted too as well by God’s grace.

We applied 7 year child law my child was 7 at the time of application . But they refused all family can go back etc as usual standard refusal.
I hired direct barrister. He told us book a child independent doctor to provide report that child unable to learn other language or cope with change of environment. We did but doctor was not available . We asked doctor to give us in writing g you are not available next 2 month or 3 month what ever and they did . We applied to delay the hearing on that letter told them doctor not available to access the child which is very important. So court accept that. Second time I told them same that I am unwell because I got medical issue as well.
When we send them bundle barrister send 25 pages covering letter with every single case law which apply to us and which made home office to withdraw their decision before hearing. Now I am waiting for BRP let’s see. I didn’t know how long will take now.

Hey Streetboy,

I am thinking hiring a barrister directly as well.

How did you go about it?

Who did you hire? Are you able to tell?

Did you prepare a bundle yourself for the hearing?

Thanks

Hi is it consistently taking >6 months for FLR (FP) cases to be decided?

All the best.

Went to appeal hearing yesterday .solicitor said decision will come in about 6 weeks .hope for the best .

[Vini81]

Hi Monz,

Very good luck to you!

How did it go? Was it in London??

Any tips for people about to have their hearing?

My mate had the hearing in Birmingham in November, I think you remember this. He had the decision after two months and the card and passports came back this week following the success of their appeal.

Hope you get good news soon!

Thanks .went good .we were really scared as never been to such situation but judge was very nice and man from home office as well .they asked questions first from my husband and than me .jus be calm and and don’t get panic it’s nothing to worry just give them true answers and rest they will make decision looking your bundle .our solicitor said we got good judge and home office guy as other guy who was in other court room she said was very strict he takes all history and ask many questions, so v were lucky in this way .our hearing was in Nottingham.still according our solicitor it’s 50 50 chance for us for success as our child is not 7 yet .
