In my own opinion filling another application may cause confusion. Already the HO is a confused organization. You may be surprised that HO may make decision on both applications. Hopefully you will receive a postive decision.

Re: FLRO vs HLDP

Wariko wrote:Hi all ,

Would like to share my storie with you, hopefully I may get some advices .

I was granted a DL for 3 years in 2008 on article 8 ground , married , father of 2 british children's .

On 1 August 2011 I sent my application for extension using a HLDP form after been advise by HO officer , 2 days later was told by a friend the the right form should be the FLRO form .

Rang again the HO and explained the situation and so told not to filled and send an other application on FLRO . But send a clarification letter instead .

Still never recieved any reply of acknowledgment about my application. Call after call after call .

The answer was ( your application is look at ) went fron frustration to frustration .

My mum been very I'll but couldn't travel , cant that my family on holiday .

Had my local pm involved in the mater , but the answer was still the same .

Till 2 months ago I decided to give the HO a new call , luckily the lady at the HO was willing the listing to my cries , and said to me that I should have filled and send an other application using FLRO form long ago .

She advised me to send a new application and explain the misunderstanding .

Finally sent my application on 12 August 13
acknowledgment recieved on 14 August 13
Biometric done on 17 August 13
Now waiting.

My question is , what are my chances ? Could the HO take into consideration the 2 years spent waiting ?

By the rule could the HO issue me a other 3 years ? Or give me 1 year to complete 6 years on DL .

Thanks for reading me .
HPDL forms are and were only for some one given DLR on failed asylum basis and not in your case. The advice given by the lady from HO was right to send FLR(O) when you realized your mistake.
As far as i know, as you have been in contact with them and never received any decision from HO and then filled and sent FLR(O) application, you ll be fine. As you have also received and gave the biometrics, it means HO is considering your application.
As long as further extension is concerned, you are eligible to apply for ILR after living 6 years on DLR and if the HO grants you an extension, you can apply for ILR after 1 year as you have lived legally on DLR for 5 years already (assuming HO never refused or declined your HPDL application).

Thank you all for the precision about my case , it has really been frustrating .
Hopping now that there won't be any more delay in term of decision making ( well this is the HO) .

My HLDP application has never been decline or refused , but has been log into the HO database , till I recently did send a new Application On FLRO.

Praying at moment , may the lord make things happened.

Evening all! No good news to report at all. To all those who have been refused, hang on in there!! Your day shall come. Remain in prayer. Prayer and faith is the key. Just want to share a link with you guys as you go about your travels.

Also,just be careful and aware of your Facebook profiles as there are some reports emerging of UKBA agents adding spousal visa applicants as "friends on FB. So just be careful!!!!!

The solicitor got the letter on 5th of August and failed to notify them until Monday the 19th and the appeal date ended on that same Monday. Please what should they do? Can they still appeal, though they met a new lawyer who advised them to appeal today?

@sarah..they can still appeal and claim lawyer negligence for the failure to inform them on time. ..the new lawyer shoild be able to advice them.

Amjadleeds- not to worry so much. This is a waiting game, By God grace you will win the appeal.
When your child is ten register him/her as British citizen.
Your ILR is still pending
All will be in your favour soon.

You are alright to reapply for the 7 year rule again and perhaps register your child as a British citizen once he/she turns 10 years in the UK. Your case could have been decided by a £6.50 an hour off the street agency worker.

This is the more reason you need to pray that who soever needs to be removed, changed or transferred at the HO by God for my sake for me to be granted a favorable decision in this land should come to pass.

The Lord will show you His mercy, it is well with you and your family.

[quote="Believe2013"]Afternoon All,

@sarah06 I assume the appeal was supposed to be sent to the HO first hence the 10 days bla bla. Technically if your friend's counsel are appealing they have 28 days from the refusal date to submit the application for permission to proceed with JR to the administrative court. (The actual JR process and hearing is a high court thing) It can be slightly misleading and confusing because the entire JR process needs to be filed within 3 months of the refusal. So they still have time to collate and submit your friend's bundle for the Administrative Courts to review. Tell her not to worry at all as 28 days have not yet elapsed. Disgraceful behaviour from her former solicitors. I hope this helps.

NB above is applicable to those given right of appeal and those NOT GIVEN you have 3 months to do the PAP, application for Permission for JR and JR itself, if granted permission to proceed[/quote
Thanks for the information ,this will lift their strength.

Yeah its totally wrong, but sadly true :( . As if the parents are together then it has to be a spouse application with 18.600 income etc[/quote]


Hello Verbina, could you explain it further, what do you mean when you say if the parents are together they have to prove 18600 income, does it apply even if you are applying for flro. I thought you only have to do this if you are applying for flrm and that you might have to have an existing leave to do that. Please explain it further in a lay man terms. thanks

Afraid so :(, hence one can not apply for a leave as a 'parent of a child in UK' if they qualify first as a partner.
So in simple terms if you are separated from the other parent then all you have to prove is that you have contact with your child, play active role in their upbringing, have adequate accommodation and means to support yourself without recourse to public funds.
But if your still together with the other parent you must apply as a partner and have 18.600 threshold etc shit ....

So in that case you will have to apply for flrm or flro? And you cannot do it if you do not have an existing leave. Is that it? So what happens to the EX1 then. Thanks

We are creative thinkers, we have to be positive, smile, and make our life and dream count. We have to fight, if though sometimes we lose hope. But people in this forum help in lifting our fighting spirit.
