Thanks yummymummy, i guess am left with no option but to follow that path now. I have waited enough, first applied July 2010 heard nothing until i made enquiries on the status of my application using SAR early 2012 only to be informed on the transcript that they lost all my application documentation in transit in December 2010 and had adviced we re-apply afresh which they never notified us until the invocation of SAR.
I re-applied October 2012, Biometrics March 2013 and haven't heard anything since. I will give them until the second week in October before i go down the Ombudsman path.

Good morning dear forum,
Just to update you that I have received BRP today mentioning that they granted me three years starting from 23thSep 2013. So they ignored my waiting time which is 14 bloody months,
So questions are:
1. Should apply for indefinite leave to remain after 6years from the first DLR which was granted on Aug2009?

[hatchsead]

@elastep, thanks for the support, i sure hope so too.

@Khaldoon, my gut feeling will be yes, apply once you clock 6 years, the 14 months is not your fault and you had not overstayed. They just couldn't get their act together.
It is well!

Hi Everyone

Just thought to log in and perhaps cheer everyone up irrespective of whatever.

To everyone who has been granted, congratulations and enjoy your new phase of life. To everyone who has not recieved that much needed news I do have good news for you, You are not forgotten, God knows your name. Go ahead and fight the battle and you will emerge victorious. Things might seem this way now but sooner than you think you will look back and smile telling good stories of how faithful God has been to you. The days of lack will be restored in multiple folds and you will be givers and lenders and not borrowers by the special grace of God. Remember that even in the midst of nothing God provided food and drink for the israelites in the wilderness,please do not falter or lose hope no matter what, all thing MUST work together for good to those that love and trust God.

I cannot begin to mention names as everyone here as being so wonderful but please remain strong in the lord because he will come true for you,amen.

For the many millions of people still waiting, you must begin to believe the report of God, begin to prophesy whatever it is you want to hear from the home office, we are at their mercy obviously but they are also at the mercy of God, the one who has the hearts of kings and princes in his hands and turneth it as he wishes. How much more the case workers. He will cause them to favour us all and turn around any intended negativity into positivity,amen.

I am also waiting and I can only keep trusting in God because he promised me that my trust in him will not be in vain and so it is for everyone of us too.


Am so sorry if this is too long but please be of good cheer everyone, we will all rejoice sooner or later.

Also waiting since October and I know it will not be much longer now till October applicants start recieving their good news since September applicants have started recieving feedback on their application.

I wish us all good health and happiness.

Thank you all for reading.

[Khaldoon]

Thanks for the support hatchsead,
My advise for those who were waiting for mor than 8 months,
NOW GET YOUR parliamentary Ombudsman involved now, because they made my application done in only three days

[yummymummy3j]

@ Gods authority ......thx 4 d words of encouragement.

[elastep]

Hi everyone

@hatchsead

I think the Ombudsman is definitely a way forward for you! Especially after HO lost your original application documentation in transit!!

Hello guys,

I am writing to inform you that we received my wife's approval letter this morning after almost 2 years of battle. She was initially refused in July 2013 on the basis that we did not include my 2 kids british passport. We reapplied at the end of August 2013 including the kids' british passports. The HO sent us a letter on 19 September 2013 requesting for more documents to prove that myself, my wife and kids all leave together at the same address for the past 2 years. We submitted more docs and was received by HO on Monday 23 September 2013. We received the approval letter today and BRP to follow.

Good luck to everyone still waiting!!

You are all the best!!!

Congratulations @khaldoon.....you might want to check with a lawyer...my sisters lawyer has written to Home Office on way forward on a similar case as they are meant to apply in January 2014...they do not know whether to apply got ILR or DLR again....but no response yet.

Hi,

You made a mistake by telling the hr about the refusal. You should have jut let them apply for tier 2. Anyway there is still hope u can apply for tier 2 but now u have to find an emplo
yer that will to apply for you. The earlier the better. All the best

Its only considered tier 1 psw if it has not expired. Also you have 28days after your visa expired to apply for tier 2 or any other leave

Looks like it but I panicked!! The situation is that my PSW has expired, I have been refused FLR(O), and will be loosing my dream job really! What about an appeal? Would this work?

Its impossible to get a sponsership in 28 days really

Sorry about the refusal, Are you Syrian? one would have thought that a moratorium on refusals for Syrian citizens would be in place.

Yes actually iam a syrian, and that was the reason we applied for FLRO

[ale001]

You people said i should not withdraw my FLRo application.

My application is now going to 1 YEAR AND 6 MONTH

Application is base on Human Right, no British wife or child.

Last time i heard from UKBA was when they sent me letter to go seek asylum bcos my application look to them as if am seeking international protection, and they also said if i do not wish to seek asylum before the specified date, they will go ahead and decide my application base on Article 8 right. Since my solicitor gave them go ahead to decide on the Article 8 right as i do not wish to seek asylum.

Up till now i never hear from them

Should i give up and withdraw my application?

At least if they won't approve my application, i think i deserve to be treated fairly and let me know if YES or NO

Congratulations to you both guys!! Well done!!!

Hi Ale


Why do you want to withdraw your application?

First of all delay is not denial. You need to keep calm and think with a clear head. Sometimes I have heard that when people request a withdrawal of their application it gets approved but not everyone who plies that route will be lucky so you have to thread slowly.

Have you involved your MP? Perhaps the Ombudsman, I see a couple of people have contacted the Ombudsman and they have gotten good results.

At this point, perhaps that might be a last resort from you as it does not appear making a call or writing personally to inquire on the status of your application will yield much results.

Please just be patient, all the best.
