Can i ask you on what basis did you apply with the flr o as this topic is for article 8 .

[MRLAOLU]

My application is based on both private and family life in the UK. I suppose that is what they now call Article 8 applications post 9th July 2012.

Next week will be 11 months since my wife's DLR application.
I know a lot of cases can be complicated (my wife's isn't) but it's going to be coming up to a whole year soon since her application.

I can't think of any other situation where you pay so much money yet have to wait so long for something. The frustrating thing is that your life is on hold for such a long time you can't make any firm plans for your family.

Quite baffling really..

Calm down, i'm also waiting.... We have to wait. Although mine has got to 11 month, but i think we should wait for their decision.
However, some applicant's application are not even up to 6 month, but you know each application will be dealt with acording to their case.

Hello guys.

Good news today. Came home to find a big envelope from the Home Office and all my documents returned.

They originally sent it to the BIG SCAMMERS CROOK FIRM - UK Visa & Immigration. Thank God it all found it's way to me eventually after being returned several times as not delivered. It took from the 20th November to find its way to me and about 5 weeks after the visa date.

Passport stamped with 30 Month Residents Permit
I wasn't expecting that after an 11 month wait.

No idea if I will receive a biometric card as was not sent with documents and nothing about it in the H.O. letter received.

Good luck to all waiting, patience will pay off in the end.


Here is my time line

Date Documents returned 05/12/2012
Date Applied/Docs sent: 27/01/12
Date Received Ack. Letter: 31/01/12
Date Biometrics booking letter arrived: 24/03/2012
Date Biometrics Done at PO : 26/03/2012
Date Passport/Docs received from HO: Waiting
Date Biometrics received : Waiting
Visa Type : FLR(0)

Congrats Weedo...your patience truly paid off and let's hope some of us will have good news soon....

Hi,Everyone
I have good news to share ,I applied for DLR in 3 March 2012 article 8,waited for 9 months.
On Friday 7 December 2012 ,my solicitor phoned to share the good news,ukba have sent a confirmation letter and a copy of my status that my application has been successful .
They will send all my documents to my adress.It was a long wait and thanks to my MP for all the work and support.
Because the first time he contacted the ukba in September 2012 they told him they hav a backlog I should be patient and wait for the new year but he kept writing letters to them.
To all who are still waiting ,guys don't loose hope yours is coming,the way God did it for me he will do it for you .

Love u all and hope for the best !
