Hi Kumar/indlak, We have a same day appt on Friday too! Wonder if we'll be in the same place? (Feel free to PM me.) On the bank stuff, I'm no expert but I'd err on the later side (the period ending more recently) but you MUST include bank statements for at least the last six months and one must be w...

If possible can you wait until the new job has issued you a contract and you have signed it and can include it with the application? Also your covering letter can have an explanation with both phone numbers of both employers. We had a job change scenario in our application and included both contract...

Thanks CR001

Sounds successful but the details are on the BRP anyway
Congrats Mkd91mkd !

Hope you will also post your timeline in the pinned/sticky (at the top) FLR(M) timeline thread.

I don't think that tells you anything about the outcome of the application, mrswow. Here is the text of the email we received when my first visa was granted (ie successful)... hope this puts your mind at ease. :) Yours is wordier, but the rules have changed and surely the auto-replies have been upda...

If they ask for something and you have it on you, of course you can give it on the day. You might just be overthinking this. Thanks and perhaps, but if we do not get approved on the day it is likely to not only cost us a lost £500 but also a potential permanent job. (Having already been told I coul...

my card arrived today and i have a leave to remain til May 2019 now, happy

Congrats Caramel 81! Thanks for the info too

One last bump - aka CRY FOR HELP! Really hopeful there is anyone out there who can say: 1. What additional documents seem to be requested??? I have one answer but the FLR(M) timeline thread is VERY clear that almost every applicant recently (who is participating in the thread) has had to provide ext...

I saw this requirement too! May be it is not applicable for the couples who are already married? I think I will include it just in case. We're definitely including it, because with the HO it's always better safe than sorry... or as a moderator once said: "Always best to be 200% prepared when d...

Not required for a FLR(M) visa extension. Confused! I've got the current FLR(M) application here in front of me which is asking for it. So, is it in the application because HO was lazy and copied the requirements from the original spouse visa application? It's in Section 6 on page 24 of 76 in FLR(M...

In this thread I've noted many people (if not most) are posting that they were asked for additional documents. I'm fairly sure that most will have done their due diligence and tried to send all that was needed originally, but overwhelming evidence from this thread suggests the HO almost always asks ...

I phoned the Home Office and they said that I just had to wait and see, that you are not allowed to check progress until 8 weeks has passed, which is the standard service target, even if you had paid premium. So I phoned my MP and his office said they would chase it for me, in less than an hour I w...

1. I have changed jobs this year so would I have to wait until i have 6 months wage slips to apply? ( i started working March 2016 prior to this i was studying. Hi BelalK, I'd wait til you have 6 months of payslips. (If started in March you probably have that by now?) My husband was transferred by ...

Hi everybody, I have a question on behalf of a friend. He currently is in the uk on a spouse visa from pakistan, the 33 month visa will expire in 2018, but the pakistani passport is due to expire in april 2017, this will be renewed around that time, but how is the visa managed, do you keep the old ...

Really hopeful someone out there can offer some helpful advice!

A bump before this disappears. Really hoping for advice as need to finalise application within the week. Thanks.

..We paid for the premium same day service but they had trouble with their computer systems and there were around 80-100 people who were sent away. They took a phone number and said they would ring today but they didn't, we waited with the phones all day. There is no number to contact. Wow. Amazing...

As per my understanding the employer cannot refuse to issue you with a CoS reference just because you don't have the BRP at the time of interview but you will still need to make an application for it before you start actual work. so in a way the employer sort of discriminated by not providing you w...

...It is a different question on the SAME application. Please keep ALL questions on your FLR(M) application in one topic. Apologies. Is there any way I can change the title of the thread to reflect the two very different topics? [i.e. "FLR(M) advice needed for evidence and child question"...

Hello, This is a completely separate topic to my other thread on evidence, so hopefully mods are okay with me posting two. On the FLR(M) application section 4 states: "In this section you must include any dependants that are applying with you. (see the payment section for details on who may app...

...And with any passport copies sent, do they need to be certified and by whom? Also is every page required or just the photo page with the actual information? I was just re-reading the guidelines today and came across this: "From 28 October 2013, if you are making your application by post you...

Hello, Help needed in finalising my application for FLR(M). I have to do the premium service because I cannot be without the BRP for 8 weeks. The biggest concern is the evidence, mainly because so many people in the FLR(M) timeline thread have said they were asked to send additional documentation. M...

Hi I apologise in advance for the multiple postings and should have asked this sooner but as a person under tier 4 general wit leave expiring February 2017, do I need to transfer my remaiming leave onto a BRP before I even get an offer of sponsor ship from an employer ? I applied for my tier 4 visa...

Relating to #2 above, I have seen this:

Curious if it may have an effect though. I can't see the caseworkers in the HO deciding to accept fewer documents as evidence!
