Hi There - I initially entered the UK on a leave to enter visa outside of the rules (right to family life. My wife was caring for her mother and didn’t meet income requirement). After 2.5 years I switched to a spouse visa. For clarity, my wife and I have been together over 10 years (only last 5 liv...

Hi, can someone please come to my aid. I really need your help guys. Thanks

M . Hi Vinny, I did state that i had been adviced here previously but unfortunately i was miguided by our Lawyer and did not apply then as adviced. I am a bit confused as to what English test to take . Would i need A1 or A2 and how do i fill the section 2.3 on the form as i had filled for the same ...

Hello, I had posted my situation years back but now its been 2.5 years after and time put in an application. I filled the flr m form in 2014, as i was married to my British partner and we had a son(british too). But was granted the 10year visa based on family life,which was a shock then as we though...

Thanks a lot Amber,really appreciate the info

What don't you understand about what's been explained? You were on a visitors visa and thus were not allowed to apply for FLR(M), no ifs or buts about it. I don't understand that i was not refused based on that grounds ,no where in the letter was it stated that i was on visitors visa.Instead,if tha...

Why did they say you'd overstayed by over 28 days? I think they've granted leave as FLR(FP) and to be honest you where lucky to get that since switching from a visit visa is not permitted unless under extreme compassionate grounds. I presume you didn't pay a fee? To right it I think you'll have to ...

Just put in an application for FLR(M) now that you have valid leave and that'll put you on a 5 year route to settlement. A1 English required in addition to the Financial Requirement. Your solicitor should have explained this! Amber,do you think its possible to put in the application now that i was ...

People do switch to various categories here in the Uk especially if you have genuine reasons. But the rules are very clear that a person in the UK on a visitor visa cannot switch into another category (spouse, Ancestry, study or work visas). As Wanderer and Casa have said, you are lucky you got a v...

I am fairly certain that you cannot switch in country to any visa category if you are on a visitor visa. Spouse visa needs to be applied from your home country as Entry Clearance. You can only apply to switch in country if you are on a visa category that allows it (work permit/PBS/Ancestry etc). Yo...

How often and what was the pattern of stay on visit visas? Did you stay more than 6 months in any 12? No,I always left at the right time. I travelled in and out with my son who had gotten his british passport. I gave birth to him here in the Uk and we paid full maternity cost as i was on visitors v...

Hello All, I got married to my british partner in feb 2014,we met in 2010 and we have a 2 year old son,expecting our second child. I was currently on a visitors visa and came into the uk frequently to see him,never overstaying. We put in our application for leave to remain from within the Uk on may ...
