Hence at the time of the application my wife's LTR had expired. on this basis the application was rejected with no grounds to appeal, and she was told she must leave the country ASAP but with no deadline given."

the cost, the visa fee you just paid, cost of air tickets and having to apply again, also being away from your wife/husband..

thats kinda worrying...what is LTR anyway??? you can see they have two mistakes in application the form and the way of payment in the application form it ask you couple of times if the form you are using is right for you so maybe they think something is wrong with this people and another is they are already 31 days late...i think by the time they have open and send you a confirmation letter they will tell right there and then if something is missing in requirements makes me worry for i have just send my FLR application last april 20 then on the april 25 they send me letter telling that the application is now being process by a caseworker the payment has been withdrawn and it also says that it not possible to make enquiries in person about the progress of an application....my fiancee visa has already expired las may 7 were still waiting for the result....
