Hi obie, It was a FLR(FP) application for my wife and kids. Kids were not born here. So they refused.

I'm trying to get back the documents of my dependents after the FLR(FP) visa refusal and they need to travel now rather than overstaying. But after calling Home Office, I find that as so difficult. Nobody exactly knows where the documents are. They keep on giving different numbers to call. And it is...

After refusal of my dependent's FLR(FP) application, the HO is not sending back the documents. They have given the appeal time within 10 days. Is there any chance of getting the documents back and apply for FLR(M) in UK rather than appealing the refusal?

My dependents have applied for FLR(FP), 2 months back. I've sent my Biometric Card(ILR 10yrs) and my Passport along with that application. Is it possible to get back my Passport and Bio metric card alone without withdrawing the application? As I need to travel, I prefer to get back my Passport now. ...

Bio metrics done late, done after 2 weeks of receiving the Bio Metric letter. Will it delay the process FLR(FP)?

FLR(FP) applied on last month. It is more than four weeks now.
I received the acknowledgement letter within 5 days.
I'm just worrying, whether the Biometric booking letter would have missed on post.

Whom should I call to confirm the posting?

I applied FLR(FP) on 18th Aug 2014 for my dependents.
I received the acknowledgement letter. But the Biometric letter
has not been received yet.
I want to call UKBA regarding that. Whom should I call?

They were born in India

Hi Amber, yes problems with financial requirements as in FLR(M)

I've ILR (10 yr route), wife and children are in PBS dependent visa here for more than 2 years.
Can I apply FLR(FP)?

sorry to deviate the topic here I have ILR(10yr) and my dependents are in PBS dependent visa. Though I have a job now to satisfy income under new rule, I'm not having 6 months payslips now and my dependents visa expiring sooner. Are my dependents to eligible to apply FLR(FP) for few months and conve...

Is the visa ending on Aug10th? Or I guess it is better you can apply few days later.

Guys just wanted to share my experience of PEO croydon for mu wife FLR ( M ). First of all I dont know why people dont say the truth. Even security Guards were aware of 6 April Rule forget about case workers. Any way I been there with solicitor I thought he might convince them ...Got the token...Ne...

@waqar, did you fill 7A or 7B?
If you have filled 7A, then there is no way you can expect a 2 year visa as it leads only to 2.5 year visa by default, I guess!

Wondering, is there any new case 'pre july 2012 dependents' offered FLR(M) under old rule?

I think, it has to be 6 months and has to be the same employer. If not the same employer for the past 6 months then more documents needed.

Q - Would my wife and my son be eligible to apply for ILR or do they need to complete 5 years and switch to another category i.e FLR (M) ? Q - I have told that my son would probably apply for naturalisation even though he did not born in the UK ? Q1. Need to apply FLR(M) under new rule and its 5 ye...

Dear Amber, Can you please advise us that is there any way that we can challenge this ruthless rule? This foolish rule is treating my partner like a first entry to uk while she is living in uk for the last 4 years as my dependent. Yes, Amber_ as we see here in this forum, you have been helping hund...

Once you get the FLR(M) under new rules, the clock resets for 5 years. That is the worst part of this new rule.

@kashiqbal

What is the reason of refusal? Did they give as a statement on the refusal letter?

Has any pre July 2012 applicant applied FLR(M) by post after April 6th using 7B?

Are the PEO case workers so ignorant of new rules?
or
Is it anything discrete?


Don't they have systems in place to check whether the applicant is eligible or just rely on case workers knowledge of new rules?
If one is able to get it and others are not able to, then this is not a proper rule.

I'm wondering how the case workers are simply convinced by hearing the applicant's words and issue the visa. Can't they discuss these issues with their seniors before taking a decision?

So far I've heard of 3 cases getting FLR(M) under old rule (PBS dependents - pre July 2012) after 6th April!
