a drc will not state no recourse... however, (i think its DMG 38/12) guidance states a person with only a Derivative right of residence will legally not satisfy the "habitual residence" test...
- which is obviously open to appeal, and if that fails, JR.

guys i will urge you to apply for the article 8 because it is the fastest. A close friend of mine applied the article 8 ending of April and got her visa today 24th
june. which means it took her 2 months to get her decision. she called me and told me. i am going there.

I think it's quicker this period as the HO are trying to clear back log. Some people at the FLR(O) forum got theirs within a month of applying. Probably a different team are treating the new applications.
@ kisss300, can you tell us about your friend's circumstances and what documents she submitted please if you don't mind my asking. Thanks in advance.

hi all!
GLH2012...So sorry to hear about your loss, may her soul rest in perfect peace.
I would like someone to pls clearify this to me, cause its like different views are been aired regarding article 8 appliaction.
My zambrano was refused with appeal right, which i have already done thru my solicitor., date yet to be given.
My solicitor has always insisted that , i cannot have two application at the same time to the HO, when i suggested applying for aricle 8 as well.
MY QUESTION :Could anyone pls confirm if this is allow and what DOCUMENTS do i really need for this application(article8) as all my ZAMBRANO DOCUMENTS were returned to me except my expired PASSPORT.
thanks

FINGER CROSSED that i will win the appeal.i was thinking that,if the hearing date is more than august or september this year,i will not mind putting article 8 application together with it.

dont worry. i dont fink so. they all work together. but i fink u shd have done the article 8 instead. the article 8 is almost the same as zambrano just that you have to pay for the application fee for art.8 and Zamb. is free. Art.8 will come when decision is finished and with zambrano you get ur COA within days but decisions may take yrs.
so chose which one you want. weigh it and make ur decision

i applied on human rights as well as Zambrano Case.Today I got the decision.I am a single parent with British Child.I have been given 2.5 years visa that means 10 years route.
Can I challenge this decision as it says no Recourse to Public Fund.Secondly
I applied in April 2012 while the changes came into force after that.Should I have been considered with the Old rules which allow you right to benefits and shorter route to PR.
Best of Luck all of you waiting for the outcome.
Your comments and questions will be helpful
Thanks

Congrats, i really don't know why but it seems HO are using the new rules for old applications. It may be worth trying to challenge it but it seems most people are relieved by being given LTR that they just don't care.

Going to see my solicitor on Friday and then I ll update what I am going to do.But for sure i am going to challenge the decision.
By doing this HO is just forcing people leave the country; depriving people of their fundamental rights.
As a single parent and looking after a baby its impossible to meet all the living and other expenses when You cant work.
Wish you guys Good Luck !!!!!!!!

and heres the good news guys...
(NOTICE THE URL... this information is not on the UKBA website, but the old, defunct IND website... tsk tsk...)
A short extract from a reply from Rob Whitemans secetary
Waiving the fee on human rights applications
As you stated, it is possible to be exempted from having to pay a fee for a human rights based application. This can be done using Appendix 1 to Form FLR(O), available here:
http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/siteco ... /flr/flro1
note: is anybody here lving off a credit card, with rising debt... and not spending money on non-essentials... if so, i'd say you fail to meet your basic living costs...
(Im guessing the Pre Action Protocol letter started to get them moving on responding...)

no problem...
My wife's waiting for passport from Irish embassy, and we are thinking about applying (knowing we dont meet our "basic living costs"...)
Every govt seams to take the mick when it comes to visa's...
ALTHOUGH, we do plan to appeal any decision given by the home office in relation to DRC / EEA2 etc...

well, im hoping it doesnt come to it... but my wife has been refused on article 8 before citing that myself and our daughter can continue our family life with her in indonesia... however, its clear now that the IDI's state that was against the Zambrano Ruling (which BTW: didnt change the law, it simply clarified an existing law)

Wigsy, how is the Irish embassy handling of your wife's visa application? Given the fact that she does not possess a valid residence permit in the UK, will the application be sent to Dublin for a decision or it's being processed in London? Good luck.
