FLR FP processing time jumps from 8 weeks to 10 month

[hussain1988]

I wanted to know why there is big jump from 8 weeks processing time to 10 months.

All 3 applications for extension made decision was given with in 8 weeks this means my partners last extension decision will be give with in 10 months.

Do HO not have enough staff to deal with applications HO do not specify the long wait all they say they are trying to reduce processing times.

If we wanted to go on holiday cant go on holiday until we hear back from HO which is nearly a year then we can book this is not right if it was 3 to 6 months processing times then it would have been ok.

Reading through forum posts and timelines may give you an idea.
However for detailed response do direct your questions to the government agency or department doing the processing. Not aware of anyone holding brief for HO here.

But why would it be a big jump all of a sudden I apply in March get biometric done in April/May then from will know decision in 2024 thats ridiculous.

When I did extension in 2020 July I thought there are people who might be isolating from covid HO wont have that many staff to process the application decision came quick.

I think theres a backlog of FLR FP applications to deal with but who knows could be anything im just using my general instinct to assume thats the case.

The processing time for FLR FP is high compared to other applications which is 6 to 8 weeks.

I know few friends who were waiting for FLR-FP results, all are waiting more than 10 months.
They tried to chase up Home Office via their local MP, mostly they won't respond back.

But for one they responded saying there is no standard processing time for FLR-FP, (Like 6 months for settlement application). So they cannot be asked to meet the standard I believe,

Best to use the local MP and write to them explaining your situation, worth the luck!

it also depends on individual circumstance sometimes for example Im British born here and ou two kids are British born here my wife is Bangladesh citizen im thinking it makes it easy to grant my wife the visa quicker then others for example if you came to uk then became British citizen and applying for partner then will have have to do more checks on what date you became British.
