I don't think anyone is in a position to tell you how long it will be before your case is dealt with. They are currently prioritising Zimbabwe cases & they estimate those to be at least 10000.avacado wrote:hi there,
I first should say many thanks to you Liberal Immigrant...your posts are very informative and helpful.
Our situation is as follows. My husband is an asylum seeker from 99'...this sept will mark his 10th year. we met a few years back and married last year in the UK. I am a valid work permit holder until end of 2010. last year we requested a copy of his case from the home office under the data protection act and discovered although they say that he was "refused " in 2001, he was never served a letter (states it in the case as well) and was then given the right to work consectively from years following. He has been a tax payer for the past 8 years. clearly the HO has dealt with improperly...surprise surprise.
We met with our local MP and he wrote a couple of letters on our behalf . we have since found out (although only through our MP) that his case is being dealt with as a priority. We do know he is Legacy CRTS 2 as we recieved a letter from the department when we changed our address.
The first MP letter went out last July 08 and the latest letter was delivered to our MP from the HO in January 09, confimring his case is being dealt with as a priority (for the second time with no other info). Nothing received directly.....Dont want to bombard the HO, but my husband has sent a heart felt letter recently detailing how he is acclaimated to UK society, job, school, wife, family (not immediate but uncle and aunt cousins, grandmothere all granted UK citizenship), no criminal record, upsatnding citizen and been contributing to society for past 8 years....etc etc
SO....my question is how long do we think is adequate time after being labeled a priority? I know priority cases are being dealt w/ now and projected copmpletion time is March 2010. Also read they may be handling Zimbabwe applicants....My husband is Croatian.
your thoughts are appreciated

thanks
The gist of it is that the UKBA legacy & NAM caseowners will all be prioritising Zimbabwe cases- some 10000 of them. These will take a few months to get through so Zimbabweans should bear with them etc etc.avacado wrote:out of curiosity, what does the letter say exactly?
