My life is currently upside down and coming back here has given me renewed hope and positivity.
I can see, there is a little mix-up between my username-14yearUK and 14years. I am the one still awaiting a decision and 14years` application has been successful.
I called the home office this morning and was advised that a decision has been made on my case and a package has been dispatched to me today (the lady asked me to call later for the tracking number).
I will soon update you on the outcome as soon as I open the package (.....when my hands stop shaking !)

Sorry about this. As usual they are inconsistent. May be they havnt updated there system14yearsUK wrote:Hello guys.....I am very disappointed with the Home Office. I called them this morning hoping to get the tracking number of my package as advised yesterday. I was puzzled when a rather arrogant gentleman told me that my case has not yet been decided so I have to wait until I hear from the home office. I told him about my call yesterday. He explained that they dont give out such information on a case until a tracking number is generated. I then advised him that I wanted to make an official complaint due to the incosistent information I received from the home office. He put me on hold for FOUR minutes whilst he spoke to his team leader. He came back to me and explained that instead of escalating the issue into a formal complaint, he could assist me by making an urgent enquiry with the Caseworking team and someone would get back to me within 24hrs with more details on my case.
So I am now waiting for the call .My guess is...it will be the usual generic information.

Hello 14yearsUK, maybe the first Caseworker you spoke to jumped the gun. All I can say is STAY STRONG!! At least now you have a timeline for receiving your response from the HO re your application. You need to stay positive and keep a clear mind for your life AFTER you receive your ILR. Why don't you channel your energies into trying to look for a job because by the time you actually find the right one etc., and probably attend interviews, you would have received your ILR and then the transition would be easier for you. Make this set back work for you - good luck!!

Hopeful 2...thanks for the encouraging words. I will stay positive although it is not the easiest of things to do at present. I am facing extremely difficult personal circumstances (sometimes you wonder where all those lovely friends have gone !). Somehow, I have faith that I shall overcome these adversities.I have been to numerous interviews & have had some really nice job offers. I was hoping that one of the prospective employers would overlook the passport business.Sadly, that didnt happen. Right now,I have more than five more job interviews lined up in the next two weeks.I just hope by then God would have answered my prayers.
I also wish you the very best & many thanks for the support.

I phoned BA this morning, they said my application (sent the end of sept), will be decided in the FLR O category, I didn't even know anything about this category and now Im doing research.
I cant stay optimistic, I don't think I'll be able to be successful in that category. Im not married, no kids and I have nothing to do with my family who didn't send off my application when I was a child. I always thought not having a child I cant afford is a good thing, now I feel like Im being punished for it .
The earliest I can expect a decision is in the summer (according to the guy on the phone).
I just cant cope with this. I've been looking in the FLO thread but I cant see any situation like mine.

pink nails be positive - you can't afford to not be. Look at it this way, HO did not reject your application - they could have done so easily and sent you a letter saying sorry and that you did not qualify etc. etc. but they did not and they even sent you a letter for your biometrics. Just hang in there and hope for the best like the rest of us - good luck with everything.
Congratulation to you poloko53 . Enjoy your freedom.poloko53 wrote:Hi, just got confirmation from solicitor that ILR has been approved!
