Yes it's very frustrating elisha47.waiting for more than 14 months for an flro it's bad. Could you share your story pls?

I came England in July 2011 with a tourist visa and before it expired I applied for Flr o, I have a British partner we been together over 4 years, we have a daughter who was born here, I came England to give birth and went back to my country, it wasn't my intention to stay until now, but this long wait its too stressful cant work or study or travel around that's why I just want to go back my country and if I ever want to come apply for a visa from My country.
Good luck to everyone...

You have been waiting for 14 month , and now you withdraw your application ! I'am sure if you wait little bit more you will hear the news shortly , they sent me a letter saying they will consider my application ASAP , but I don't know if I believe them or not !.

I say exactly the same thing afterall we pay our application fee just like everyone else so therefore we should be treated fairly i know some flr o is complex but still there's no need to hold on to our documents like that as if we aint got a life to live aswel we are human's afterall....

[yahwadud]

i got a reply from my mp today from ukba.they apologise for the delay and promise to consider my application as soon as possible.hope this will help some members on here

[justice12]

is your case complex? whats your story if i may ask and also when you say complex how complex is a case becasue i feel they should be able to make a good decesion on every case..well to me tho

[tunab2]

Home office wrote to my mp on behalf of me this morning . They say my case is a case is a complex one . Reason being I have been an overstayer for 9 years. And there's no compassionate grounds for me regardless of my British child and life in the uk . It also states that , it could take up to September for a decision to be made , and if I'm refused there would be no right to appeal !
So sad !

Sorry to hear ur story, Hold on strong don't feel beat up by that. I have the same story as u. I came in 2000 with student visa but around 2003 i could not afford school fees anymore, overstayed until last year when i applied.

I am applying based on british daughter who is 1yr and a half now and i am not married to the mum yet. The HO will try and scare you that you have no right to appeal but if you can prove that you are actively involved in ur child life and removing you will affect the child they can do anything about it and you can request a JR (Judiciary Review) in which case i am 90% sure they will have to allow u to stay.

In my case i stay with my daughter everyday so the mum can go to work so if they take me away my daughter will be badly affected and the mum cannot go to work. I phone the HO in sheffield this week and they said my case is pending but i will kepp bugging them until i get satisfaction.

Stay strong and pray!

whats ur story and have u called them

[Why lie]

Home office wrote to my mp on behalf of me this morning . They say my case is a case is a complex one . Reason being I have been an overstayer for 9 years. And there's no compassionate grounds for me regardless of my British child and life in the uk . It also states that , it could take up to September for a decision to be made , and if I'm refused there would be no right to appeal !
So sad !

Sorry to hear ur story, Hold on strong don't feel beat up by that. I have the same story as u. I came in 2000 with student visa but around 2003 i could not afford school fees anymore, overstayed until last year when i applied.

I am applying based on british daughter who is 1yr and a half now and i am not married to the mum yet. The HO will try and scare you that you have no right to appeal but if you can prove that you are actively involved in ur child life and removing you will affect the child they can do anything about it and you can request a JR (Judiciary Review) in which case i am 90% sure they will have to allow u to stay.

In my case i stay with my daughter everyday so the mum can go to work so if they take me away my daughter will be badly affected and the mum cannot go to work. I phone the HO in sheffield this week and they said my case is pending but i will kepp bugging them until i get satisfaction.

Stay strong and pray!

A friend of a friend who works at the ukba croydon told me today , discretionary leave cases (flro) could take up to 2 years as they have a massive back log to clear . Discretionary leave applications are least And those of use who applied

Discretionary leave applications are least on their priority,And those of use who applied with no leave to remain ie (overstayers ) are in for a long wait.

It's sad reading the forums that flr O applicant never received their visa since last year.Well I don't know why people applying for the first can't fill a form FLR M because I did have a child of 7months old when I applied to the HO with my British wife then I received my visa last month February..I was meant to fill a form FLR O but my solicitor told me to change it to FLR M which I did and later told me to do the English test Grade 2,I received my decision letter on February 13th the HO told me that I was granted based on my child who is British Citizen and I have a genuine and subsisting relationship with my son...I was granted 30 months which am going to renew for another 30 months....I am happy that I didn't submit FLR O form or else I will be on the queue now as well....I am not happy with the way they kept you waiting at all
