Firstly, to answer your question I doubt if you would be given permission to work as you automatically retain the conditions of your last resident permit while you application is being considered. I have not come across a situation where reverse is the case. However, someone else may have a contrary opinion.

Secondly, it appears that your application is based on fear of persecution if you were to return to Pakistan due to your sexuality. FLR O applications are designed for people who would like to remain in the UK for either or both family life and private life purposes.

You do not appear to have an established family life here as you do not have any child or a partner who is either a UK citizen or a permanent resident.

Equally, you have only lived here for just 3 years, you currently needs to have lived here for 20 years to have an established private life.

I think your application is more of an asylum case and I will suggest you seek legal advice immediately.
MRLAOLU, my FLRO is also base on fear of persecution after withdrawing from Asylum a day after asylum application 5 years ago, instead of me reapply for asylum, i just apply straight for protection on FLRo right to private life & long stay... Am using a private solicitor and my MP is involved too. So do you mean it is a must one must have a partner as a UK citizen? I have 4 kids born in Rep.Ireland but not yet Irish citizen though, and i'm a 9ja like you :D
Hi Ale001

Please read FLR O guidance note page 1 under the heading "GUIDANCE NOTES". This may answer your question whether FLR O application forms are appropriate for applications based on fear of prosecution abroad.

By the way I sent you a private message.

Good luck mate.

FLR o

Post by ale001 » Mon Apr 01, 2013 8:20 pm

NOTICE TO EVERYONE.

My solicitor and my MP told me that i should be very patient for the UKBA to work on my application. My MP and my solicitor told me a secret warning that if they disturb the UKBA too much after one or two contact to them, they might be angry and decided application it will be negative result. So the warning is 'Don't disturb them, we know they are wrong by delaying applicant, but it is their country, so lets be patient for them and hope for the best.

FLR (O) Application is really frustrating, and the solution is to be very patient for them.

It is now 12 month i submitted my application and i've done Biometric since 19th of July 2012.

All my paper work is with my MP representing me.

So, my solicitor and my MP told me that i should be very patient for the UKBA to work on my application rather than disturbing them every time and any aggressive caseworker might angrily refused application with annoyance for disturbing them too much.

Don't worry, we will all get positive result about our application.

Good luck... and one love...
Ale001

YEs Justice12, the shortened version of Nigeria is in three ways: 9ja, or Naija, or Niger. Just like Mexico as 'MEX' :D

Ok. So on the 26th of March a rep from the MPs office called me and told me that the UKBA informed them that they had requested my biometrics on the 14th of March!!!!

I contacted my solicitor and they said 'Oh yes, we have a letter but we only received it this morning (26th)' So where the heck happened to my letter for TWELVE days?!

Argh anyways, I used a scanned copy my solicitor emailed me to submit my biometrics on the 28th of March.

So apart from the frustration of NO ONE telling me my biometric information had been requested...I'm happy that it finally got done!

My new timeline is as follows -
My Timeline:
Date of Application: 17/09/2012
Acknowledgement Received dated 19/09/2012
Biometric requested: 14/03/2013
Biometrics submitted: 28/03/2013
*WAITING*

Is there an approximate time it should take after my biometrics are received? I don't want to get my hopes up, but I secretly am... :)
