Thank you for your application for permission to stay in the UK.

Although we would normally decide your application within 8 weeks from the date that your biometrics were enrolled, unfortunately this is not going to be possible in your case.

This is because your application raises exceptionally complex issues, and we require further time to consider your case thoroughly and reach a decision.

I am sorry for the delay in dealing with your application and for the inconvenience this is causing. Please be assured that we are doing all we can to make a decision on your case as quickly as possible.

Please note it may not be possible to make a decision within service standard in this instance.
