Has anyone ever applied to the UK Homeoffice under the 'Long Residence' Policy? And how long did they take?

Question

I have applied under the Long Residence rule to the UK Homeoffice and they said that this would take normally 4-16 weeks but now its gone past 5 months and they are still telling me nothing. If you have also applied under this same policy (the 14 year policy) or know someone who has i would be grateful to hear your experiences, every case is very differenr im interested to hear from as many as possible. Thanks

Answer 1

They can take months, recent appeal process took 8 months to reach a decision after some pushing.
You can go and talk to your MP and ask him/her to write on your behalf.
You can get advice from an immigration lawyer or go to a specialist agency that know about Long residence cases.
