I like this board very much, because we are free to talk about any circumstances, and always get professional advise.
I have been this country for just 10 years, I came in with a student visa, the visa expired on 2003, and I married a British citizen on 2004, our daughter was born on December 2005, now she is 2years and 8 month old. I made a application for Settlement on March 2008, had one reply from the home office asking for more information, but after we replied, I have heard nothing since. We are a happy family, and have our own house, my husband has his own business, and I have a part time job. We don't cliam any benefit, including child benefit, and tax credit, because I don't want to give home office any reason to refuse my application.
I haven't seen my family for 5 years, they are in China. I really miss them, and I am the only child for my family. Last month was my 27th birthday, I saw my dad cried on the MSN, because he couldn't be with me on my birthday, and they are miss me too much. But my current situation make me can not leave this country, and they can not come to visit me, I told them, My husband can invite them come to visit, but they are too afraid because of my situation, the Embassy in beijing will not give them the visa. I am deeply hurt by all these feelings.
Guys, can you give any advice on my case. I understand that my case may need to take some time for the home office to make dicision. But how long, what can I do to make it quick, or what can I do to help this application.
Please, I really need to you to advice and support me.
Thanks a lot.

But the lawyer said there is a new law, for overstayer who going back to their own country apply for vise to come back to UK need to wait for at least 1 year, maybe longer. I can not leave my family for that long, my daughter is only 2 something, and she is going to school soon. So I stayed and made this application.
You said If I go back to China apply for Entry clearance, and maybe come back within two month, but the above point seems very scary to me. If I take child with me, leave my husband in UK alone, he can not afford all the money to support the whole family.
The home office website says, they considering the application for longest is 3 month, is that mean including my situation, or is that only for the normal applications.
I also heard that any phone call or letter we write to the home office for chase up the decision will be make the waiting for even longer, is that ture? Because, I know in the home office there is only one case worker for each case, so if I write to him directly, will he see this letter, will it make any different to my applicaiton?
Thank you
