DLR Extension

Post by k_alibaba » Thu Dec 12, 2013 1:35 pm

Dear Forum Members,
I'm going to apply DLR extension for my wife and daughter.
Is there any one who applied for extension? How long Home office might take to decide on already established case? (Just wana have a rough idea)

Any new changes in this regard?

Thanks

Hiya, well as you know HO are pretty unpredictable most times, but lately (touch wood) we ve had a few guys on here getting their extensions in record times ( 3-4 weeks).

Having said that, we also had a couple of members waiting for almost a year for extensions....

But I do believe lately things are moving a lot faster...

Good luck!

Honestly "will be along" statement, that was really and very unnecessary, if I understand the rules I will contribute and if I don't I observe and learn from you guys. There is no need for dropping names. Are you really soliciting for trouble or really looking for advice? Anyways it's all good hombre!

Thanks for managing to antagonise Dapsonlee a very valuable member of this Forum - note, I say very valuable.
I stand corrected, My apologies Shondra i got my wires crossed didn't mean to undermine or insult your intelligence the forms have been changed as of 1 Dec duly noted - I only read your comment rather than East579's post.

Believe2013, Thank you hun. This is a hearing for appeal permission, not an appeal hearing. so worried...if I don't get the appeal permission what will be the next? On the other hand I have only a few days for JR. Really puzzled with everything. Please do advise me. God bless you.
Hi Naba, you opted for an oral hearing as opposed to a paper one for JR permission. If rejected you can ask again for permission to appeal that ruling stating why you strongly think the appeal should be upheld. Good luck. the time for you to file a JR will be deferred if appealing the permission decision. Hope that helps.
Believe2013, Thank you very much for the reply. '' the time for you to file a JR will be deferred if appealing the permission decision''- can you explain this more please? I know JR should be filed within 90 days and I am still within 90 days. I applied to the tribunal for an appeal permission and now waiting for the hearing. Would I be allowed to file JR after the 90 days, after the hearing ?

My solicitor advised now to file for PAP-JR to be safe side. Is that ok appeal hearing and JR together? Confused! God bless you.
The fact that you have been granted an oral hearing means your case could proceed to a full hearing if successful even if it's outside the 90 day limit of submitting the JR. hope this helps
Thank you dear. God bless you!

Dear friends, good morning! Could you kindly advise me with my case? The case:

- I was refused with NO appeal right.
- I applied to the Tribunal for an appeal right and have been given an oral hearing date which will be in early 2014.
- I haven't sent a PAP for JR which need to do within 90 days. My 90 days going to end end of this moth.
- My solicitor said I can't go for the JR process as the hearing is pending in the Tribunal
- The solicitor also said that even If I don't get the appeal right, I won't be able to go with JR process as by that time 90 days will be expired. In that case going to 2nd Tribunal will be the option.

Is that OK? Is there any option to go for JR after the hearing, if it goes against me? Please help me...God bless you all.

Personal Statement Template

Post by God's Authority » Fri Dec 13, 2013 10:11 am

Hello Everyone

I hope we are all doing well? Congrats Tinapalak, dont worry, about the time frame you have been given on your visa, everything will sort out itself and you will regularise your stay.

My senior forum members, I humbly greet you all. May the peace of the lord be upon you, amen.
Verbinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,Believe,Dapsonlee,kukuwife,naba,Keisha,
Hatchshead I hail you all. Forum regulars, I hail you all too,I am sorry if I omitted any names :(

Please people, I am just trying to get my acts together with this appeal, no date yet but I guess its best to start preparing whilst I have the strength now.

Does anyone have any template or guidelines on how to write a personal statement please? I intend to write everything about my life history since I have been here but just so confused, if only I had a guideline! sigh!
Also I am not sure, is it possible to use like newspaper articles, journals, basically stuffs gotten on line(not from blogs) but verifiable sources as part of a witness bundle if I wanted to justify some certain things about my situation?

Thank you so much in advance,am grateful.

Morning ladies!!

@God's Authority, basically if you just write and honest story from the bottom of your heart with your full immigration history, also explain the circumstances around your daughter's health condition, difficulties you face in a day to day life and the treatment suggested by UK medics.
Explain that your daughter wont be able to receive the same type of care back home. Then tell them about your current pregnancy....
Something like that....

Hey Keisha-babe! *Waves right back atcha!* Yeah I know the feeling... I had to unleash my inner Danielle Steel/Jackie Collins when writing my amoeba novel! Lol :lol:

Heeehee, so I got a little carried away and it almost came out like Fifty shades of Grey mixed with Harry Potter..... but the end result was reasonably conservative, but melodramatic 8)
