Hi net5, requesting your passport by UKBA was very quick. You are very lucky. Since i won my appeal in January, i have heard nothing from UKBA.

yeah my solicitor was suprised too, it took them 3 weeks from the date of determination, problem is i have no passport and she is writing to them to explain this. How long did you wait before you started to chase them.

Hi net5, started chasing them after 5 months of receiving determination. their website says the below:
[b]If your appeal is successful
If the judge allows your appeal, his or her determination will be sent to the relevant visa section, which will in turn contact you.
It can take up to 4 weeks for determinations to reach the relevant visa section, and a further 8 weeks for them to be processed. The visa section will write to you using the contact details provided on your appeal form.
Please do not contact the visa section until 12 weeks after the date when you or your representative received the judge's decision. This date will be stated on your written determination.[/b]
I have given UKBA ample time to process my visas but still nothing. I am soo frustated.

Hi net5, its a good thing that atleast your passport has been requested. It should not take long for the next step to completed. Will you fall under the old or new rules?

Hi net5, thats fine. I think i should fall under old rules as appeal appeal allowed in January. Have you sent for passport? And did you have to enrol for biometrics?

i don't have a passport, so my solicitor has written to them to explain. I haven't enrolled for biometrics because when i made my application biometrics wasn't needed for flr(o) applications

Hi net5, I think biometrics was introduced on 29th February 2012. I think all applications made before that date dont have to enrol for biometrics. I just hope my visas are processed soon as life is on standstill.

Hi guys
I just recieved a letter today from the UKBA requesting for further information as
I have a UK born dependant. In order for them to consider my case with evidence.
1. Is your client in any relationship with his daughter.
2. Original full birth cert of my daughter.
3.Does your client have any contact with the daughter, how often and what level of contact.
4.Who is the main carer for my daughter.
5.Who has full custody of my daughter.
6.I should provide further details and evidence of my family life in the UK and specifically relationship with my daughter.
7. Evidence of cohabitation.
Now all that is being asked was sent in the bundle before we went to court in May where the appeal was allowed and remitted for consideration under section 55. Does that mean that the caseworker has not got that imformation?. We have never cohibited,my daughter leaves in the midlands and i leave in London,i speak to her regularly and go to see her often to spend time with her during term time and holidays.
So what information do these guys want other than the Original BC.
Please any in put be great i want to prepare all i can to sent by tomorrow thanks.
