I am preparing to apply for my wife's FLR (M) Application and have booked an appointment for 13th January 2017. I've read a lot of talk about needing to apply within 28 days of expiry and not before. My understanding is that as its a 33 month visa it should be OK to apply slightly earlier also. Plea...
My wife's spouse visa from Pakistan expires on 28 March 2017. Am I correct in thinking that I should apply for her FLR within 28 of this expiry, and not before? With regards to her English language - will the english certificate she obtained from Pakistan during her spouse visa application suffice? ...

Hey there, My wife came here on a Spouse visa in August just gone.

Hi there, My wife came to the UK in August this year on a UK Spouse visa. Is she allowed to travel with me to mainland Europe or Dubai on this visa or would she need to get visa for those countries as she is a Pakistani national still?

I applied in May and my wife got her visa in June. I only had my bio data page and a few travel stamped pages stamped by solicitor, not every single page. I sent in 20 photographs showing wedding ceremony and aftermath of ceremony. I sent a lot of communication evidence spanning the period that we w...
Congratulations nadizee and everyone who got their visas! :D Can anyone tell me, is there an expiry date on all the English tests they do in Pakistan and if yes does your certificate have to be valid after you receive your visa to travel? Depending which test you take it could be valid for 2 years ...
I used 12 months worth of bank statements and I must say in pretty much all of those months I would have had overdraft charges, as in I was withdrawing from my current account and then waiting to get paid for the money to go back in. Even though I still had savings to cover this it was just me bein...

Where do you need to show the polio certificate? at the pakistnai airport or on arrival in whichever country you're going to? Surely its a quick thing to get a certificate from the airport otherwise travellers may get delayed. A part from TB Certificcate, anything else that should be at hand to show...

Additional documents cannot be provided unelss requested, regardless of whether they are relevant pre-application or post-application. To the best of my knowledge, at least!
Is there any way of sending further documents to the British High Commission ? Documents that were not available at the time of application. They are relevant to the period of application and not afterwards. Would Gerry's be able to send them for us ? Has anybody sent more documents ? I think you c...
I put intended travel date of 25th July 2014 on my application and if my wife's visa is granted on Monday when she collects her documents what would the likely start date of the visa be? Would she be able to travel straight away or not until 25th July? Also does anyone know how long she has to trave...
Not at all because a simple call to Royal Mail by the caseworker will clear this up as RM will confirm who pays the salaries and what should be shown on the bank statement, so nothing to worry about at all.
