Should be an easy answer I think. I married in Pakistan in 2014 (had a nikah) and registered the marraige there and got a marraige certificate from Pakistan. My wife came in 2014. She got her british passport now. We just had an Islamic divorce about 2 weeks ago so are no longer together. To finalis...
Hi there, I married in Pakistan in 2014 and my then wife came here that same year. We had a son born in 2019. She has got her indefinite leave to remain now and british citizenship too/naturalisation. all complete. Our marriage has sadly broken down and we have separated. My query is to do with IF I...
Hi, My sister in law who is on a spouse visa from Pakistan (5 year route) landed here on the 19th Jan 2019 and her BRP is valid until 23 September 2021. I know she has to apply for FLR (M) for another 2.5 year visa, I believe? But my question is how do we go about doing this, does she need to pass a...
As its now well over 2 weeks and i've not heard anything I'm assuming that they have my application, but I have no way to confirm this unfortunately. The response, they say 1 business day, but I've found its received within 2 days usually... which is still OK. I found that address on here so surely ...
Am I right in thinking that as its been over a month now that they have received the supporting documents? As I understand that you only have a two week window in which to get the documents to them otherwise your application is refused. As its been longer and we have not heard anything in terms of a...
Ive tried speaking with UKVI but no one can help. They all just say try contact the building you sent it to but no one can give me a contaxt number for Valcun House 6 Mill Sands. Did this used to be the address to send it to as ive seen some threads on here saying this is the address. I tried the GW...
If you have just bank statements in joint names then show at least 4 per year, say jan, april, july, nov for one year and then feb, may, aug, dec for the next. It is only 1 source, not quite the 3 they are asking for. But I did it recently and was slightly short on joint name correspondence too. Wha...
I printed off the online application form and sent that along with the other supprting documents. The reason I couldn't use Royal Mail is because they said the package was too big/heavy and had to be sent Parcelforce. Looks like I sent it to the wrong address! Oops. Do you think I'll still be ok? Ha...
My brother recently posted his supporting documents to Sheffield for his wife who is applying for a spouse visa from Pakistan. When we posted it the post office told us that as its large or heavy it has to go via Parcelforce instead of Royal Mail. We said no problem and paid. A few days later I chec...
My thinking is that if the FLR M is granted tomorow that its expiry will be 24 july 2019 which would be 18 days before her 60 month completion in the UK and as she can apply for ILR 28 days before her qualifying period that she would be ok? Or am I missing something? Or is it a case that you must re...
My wife was issued a 33 Month UK Spouse visa on 12/06/2014 She entered the UK on 11/08/2014 Her visa expires on 12/03/2017 She has been living in the UK for 29 Months and 13 Days. I have booked her FLR (M) Appointment for tomorrow 24th January 2017, which is 18 days before her 30 month completion in...
It was booked for 13 jan but i canceled on the 1st of jan. Rescheduled to 11 feb. I understand refund is within 28 days but just wanted to know if ill get the IHS 500 back at the same time. Cheers
I booked an appointment for January 13th but because its more than 28 days before my wife's visa expiry I had to cancel and book a fresh appointment (The rescheduling system would not give me the date I needed otherwise would have rescheduled). My question is; has anyone recently canceled as I just ...
As the A2 exam is already appearing on the official home office list of approved providers and examinations, to me, it means you can start using the A2 exam even before 1st of May when it becomes the only acceptable exam.
1. I'm a British Citizen with a British passport but born in 1985 so would only become British at birth if one of my parents were British or Naturalised at the time of my birth, according to the info I read in the FLR M application form. I am supplying my valid British passport in the application, b...
You can book the appointment for 28 days before the 2.5 years of residence in the UK. This is permitted and will still enable her to complete the full 5 year period without the requirement for an additional visa extension. SET(M) for ILR can also be applied for 28 days before the 5 year completion....
Thanks for your answers. This all makes a lot more sense to me now! As she arrived on 11th August 2014, would it be ok to book an appointment for Saturday 11th Feb as that's exactly 2.5 years since she arrived here? Would that then mean that the next FLR period expiry date will be 11th August 2019 m...
Do you happen to know if its mentioned in the Immigration Rules or elsewhere that it is the entry date and not the visa issue date from when the qualifying period begins?
I've spoken with UKVI again who tell me that 13th Jan will be fine as she did not spend more than 180 days out of the UK in a year so it starts from 6th June, not 11th August...
Now I'm confused! They are telling me also that it 'will probably be' 33 months that the FLR (M) is granted for as well.
I undrestand what you mean, as the 11th Feb would mean she has spent 2.5 years here. So when this next 2.5 years FLR is issued, is that for 30 months only or is that for 33 months? As if its for 33 months it may mean she would end up spending the qualifying 60 months here? But it sounds like I shoul...
The issue here is that if you apply on 13th Jan, your spouse has not spent 2.5 years in the UK yet and will have a shortfall further down the line to meet the 5 year residence. When you apply in person, the visa grant date is the date of your appointment. It is not granted to follow on from the cur...
