Humanitarian & compassionate application

[Zefears]

I have applied in August for a Humanitarian and Compassionate ground and I was looking at the following steps and possibilities. To be able to apply for a work permit the application needs to be “approved in principle“.
Con somebody tell me what that means?
Is it when they ask for your medical exams?

How is your application going?

I have been checking the status online and it still says only that they received it. Is it supposed to change to "in progress" before any answer from first stage?

My layer keep on telling me it takes around 6 months for the first stage. I am at 6.5 month now and still no news.

Any updates?

 

[Zefears]

It’s only saying the application was received. It’s now 7 months.

Similar story here. Applied for H&C in October 2017 for my little brother who is currently under an international student visa for the last 2 years and lives with me. He's 15 years old. Family circumstances have forced us to bring my brother over a few years ago and the only way was to get a study visa so he could continue grade 8 education. My husband and I have renewed the visa again last year for grade 9 and applied for H&C as the situation is permanent and my brother will have to reside with us until he is able to look after himself on his own.

Now it's the waiting game... application is still in received status. No change

My application changed from “received” to “in process” on the 1st of May, exactly at the 8 months mark. I’ll keep you posted about any change

You have been lucky so far. I submitted my application August 2017 and they start processing it in May 2018 at the 8 months mark.

Did you do it with a layer?
May I ask what your case is about?
