FLR(O) Discretionary Leave waiting times ..??

[Believe2013]

Another extension done. A huge congrats to you and do enjoy your freedom. ☺

I must add the way extensions are being granted, I guess all fresh applicants will be sorted by summer 2014.... �� What a year!!! Sigh!

@Tao congrats!!!

@dapsonlee Noooooooo!! Doooont saaay that!!!!!! Remember @cookie ?? First time app, overstayer, she got hers with 2 months!!!!

I know cookie did but remember cookie had 2 beautiful British kids with a British partner so her case was on a route of success compared to having no partner nor kids. Another horrible birthday and a Xmas to look forward to in isolation

@Hatchsead, I don't even bother to turn phone on anymore! If SDP could be waiting that long what hope do we on a 10month mark should do. I can't hold up anymore. *Tears*

oh babe!! I dont even know what to say.. Coz i feel depressed and lovely too ( and Im all alone in this lovely village in the middle of nowhere ( And the weather is shit! And my birthday is in beginning of november *sigh*.
God help us!!!

Guys we knew the journey ahead was going to be tough but we didn't know how tough. I have so much admiration for all of you. You deserve medals the size of a frying pan perhaps bigger. We need to soldier on and hold on to our positive thoughts - we all have bad days - it's very tough and understandable. I am filled with rage and frustration but yet hopeful, I have lost most of my so called friends, I have relatives jeering and sniggering at my predicament behind my back because they get a buzz out of seeing someone reduced to the lowest point in their life, not a problem, tables always turn and things change. What puts a smile on my face is knowing that there are good people out there and this forum is testament. Thank you for restoring my faith in people again. I look to forward to congratulating you all very soon. It is going to happen and that's a fact. We have all faced our fear the HO and what's left to embrace, is our bright futures

[Chidy]

Congrats Tao and enjoy your three years of freedom!

Thank you Verbina. #TeamScorpio ☺. They say its not about the destination but the journey, that's where the growth is. Together we stand I suppose. So pls keep it together for the same of us waiting on a decision. Like how boyz II men sang it "we'll get there somehow, across that river to make it through to the other side"

Believe2013, thank you so much for the word of faith and wisdom. despite all the difficulty I suppose there always is a light at the end of the tunnel. It's not about looking forward to congratulate us but we hope and pray to rejoice and celebrate with you and the others in this process of appeal. The Lord in indeed our strength.

Hi guys I want come clarification please what is the difference between 10 year partner/ parent route and. Private life/ family life. Thank you

So I post a question for clarification no one seems to be bothered so I will ask again

Hi guys I want come clarification please what is the difference between 10 year partner/ parent route and. Private life/ family life. Thank you

I think 10 partner route is when u have been legal for 10yrs then u apply for ilr. Private life is usually for overstayers who have established a life here so u are normally granted 30months hope this clarifies Ur question

It's round the corner, we will all rejoice with you guys!!!

@partygirl503 (aka time 503) thank you lovvie xx you re totally right!

@verbina please keep your head up and always remember God works everything out for the good of those who love him. Favour of God be upon you. You would be granted in Jesus name.

Congrats to those who received their visas

[summer2013]

verbina and dapsonlee hold on guys, nearly there, October is maximum of your wait but can be any time from now.

I have a question

i emailed one of the MP IN Cambridge where i live. he is Liberal Democrat. It was on one of this days when i was feeling down after the refusal.
It was more a heartfelt letter rather than asking him for help. I just explained the situation and how hopeless we felt.

yesterday his secretary emailed me asking as to attend an appointment to see him so we can discuss about the refusal.

guys what do you think? what can i ask him to do for as? is that routine thinks PMs do or can he really do something to help as? i've just confirmed the appointment.

When there are no tests, then there are no testimonies! Before gold is made beautiful and attractive, it usually passess through fire/ furnace first. Hold on because when it looks farthest is when it is actually closest
It is well with you!

Hi Believe2013! Am just going through the post. Been drafting letters to he Hate Office!!

[Believe2013]

do cautions have to be declared on the flr o form for extension of ltr or just convictions?

Depends on what type of a caution it is, if it's a conditional caution and it was in the last three months then yes you have to declare it but if it's a simple caution or final warning then you don't have to declare it as the rehabilitation period expires immediately after it's issued. Hope that helps.
