Is there any expert opinion on this matter please? Thank you

Hello, Hope everyone is in good health and doing ok. I am due to apply my second half of my spouse visa this month however I have a question to ask, would really appreciate those who help: During the last year we had some financial problems. We moved out from our parent's place and tried renting a p...

Thank you Char for the quick reply! 1. If I apply for FLR(M) extension am I allowed to apply for ILR in September 2018 even when the visa has not yet expired? Because I read somewhere that says if you want to renew a visa while holding a spouse visa you can't apply more than 28 days before the visa ...

Hi, First of all I would like to thank everyone on this website as it has helped me so much with my application and life altogether. I've just recently received my first half of spouse visa (30 months). The summary of my life timeline is as below: 15/09/2008-30/09/2013 : student visa for a five year...

Thanks for your reply shushmehdta. Good to know I don't have to go back to square one. Do you know how do I inform home home office regarding the change of address? I would usually call 0300 123 2241 to ask about my visa status. Do I just call that number to let them know about the change of address...

Hi, I sent my flr(m) visa application on the 9th of April 2015. Biometric given, money taken, NHS surcharges paid etc. however still have not heard about the results yet. I called the home office today and they said no decisions have been made yet and I still have to wait. I asked them if there is a...

Hi foxoz, pondjumper and everyone else.

An update from me- no news about the visa. Just called HO and they said no decision has been made yet whatsoever and I still have to wait.

I sent mine on the ninth of April so it been exactly 10 weeks now.
Not happy

Hi pondjumper, I have called that number today and the lady said they have received the further 48 pounds payment and just waiting for someone to deduct it from my account. Till now it hasn't been deducted yet. I wonder why it's so difficult to just take the money. She said she couldn't do anything ...

Can I know what is the difference between FLR (M) and this :

They're both 5 years arent they, why are they different?

Thank you both of you so very much. I have looked at the requirements for FLR (M) But can someone explain to me in plain terms what is the difference between FLR(M) and FLR (FP) And one more question , If I apply for FLR (M) that means I get to stay till 2020. Would it be possible for me to apply IL...

Thank you so much for your help . You've been very grateful so far.

So does that mean we need to provide both of out bank statements or do we have to create a joint account when applying for the spouse visa. Sorry if it seems like a stupid question, just to be sure.

Many thanks

Thank you for your reply. Maybe my student visa wasn't tier 2 , I don't know why I thought it was called tier 2 student visa. Maybe it was just a student visa- I must've got it wrong. But yes now for some reason all foreign foundation doctors hold tier 4 which is a student visa but actually we're al...

You couldn't find that sort of visa nowadays. I think I was the last batch to apply for it, but then it got changed after my year.

Possibly the visa system was a bit different at that time . My visa was called tier 2 student visa

Thank you so much for your input, that's very helpful. I couldn't apply for ILR after 5 years of tier 2 because I was here for five years as a student and not working , I don't think they would've granted me ILR at that point. So is the link that you gave me an application for a spouse visa ? How ea...

Hi, I am currently a Tier 4 visa holder, expired Dec 2015 and I recently got married to my husband last year May 2014 who is a permanent resident in the UK (a Malaysian national) who grew up here. My husband is currently a student and I am just wondering what sort of visa/other things that I could a...
