Just a quick update, we have already posted today our application. Waiting game has started but I hope all of us will hear very soon from them. Goodluck and cheers to all!

I stand to be corrected but as far as I know you can request your husband's passport back? Im not sure but try to seek advices from the experts.

We are not in a hurry cos we havent got plan yet to go abroad and my husband's job doesnt require any travelling abroad so we are quite happy about that.

Thanks a bunch for welcoming me!

Oh yes, it is possible. We received a letter from UKBA a week after posting our application confirming they have received the documents and gave us a number to phone if we desperately need a document back. We tried to call twice - put on a long queue and after 20 minutes of sky racketing phone bills, we decided to end the call.

My husband's work doesn't require travelling as well. He just missed flying.

Yeah, cos I have read it somewhere here. Well we cant do much really but to wait which is ashame unless you want your phone bill to be sky high at the end of the month by ringing them and getting no decent updates bout the app. Horrendous isnt it?

Very. I think it was a thread started by Rayna. It took her 45 minutes to be able to speak to someone.

Well thats THEM innit? they cant get quick enough to deduct the fee out of your account but in terms of updating the applicant, they cant even seem to spare 10 minutes to write and send the applicant a letter or so inform the status of the apps. HOPELESS!

Having waited almost 7 months so far for the FLR for my wife, I wrote to my MP regarding the situation and just this weekend received what is essentially a stock reply from the assistant director of the Customer service improvement directorate of the UKBA stating that applications are considered in strict rotation and that we would receive their decision as soon as possible.This makes me wonder whether in some cases FLR applications are funded from the public purse in which case those us us paying the extortionate rates they charge should be given priority. Does anyone know if this may be the case ?
