FLR (FP) Application response period

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Home Office should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Home Office,

1.How long does it take on average to make a decision about an FLR (FP) application? May I know the process involved.
2. Does applying for a fee waver on an application reduce the importance of or increase the time taken for the Home Office to respond to the application for leave to remain in the UK?

Yours faithfully,

Anita

Anita,

Please be aware that we have decided to handle your correspondence of 30 April outside the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. This is because it does not meet the criteria for a Freedom of Information request, as it does not ask for recorded information.

Below is a link to the ICO guidance for the criteria for valid requests under the Act:

We will provide an answer to your query, but it will be answer outside of the provisions of the Act.  You should expect to receive a response in due course.

Thank you,

Directing you to the guidance material is the only advice we can give you.
