Cheers Luky. No those are the words i have used to describe to you guys what i am writting there in my letter. Actually the letter, like you mentioned, does not actually use teh words request which may look like we are casting a pressure on teh caseworker. Yes, the letter will be very much in a pers...
Cheers luky, thanks for all that info. :D Yes, i was anyway including our marraige certificate in the package! But thanks for the tip though! :-) Yes, i have included a letter from me (as her husband/sponsor) to request the immigration officer to grant ILR for my wife and that our marriage continues...
Cheers luky. Can I ask a quick question: Since you sent across your documentation via post for ILR, i take it you would kept all original and crucial documents. We are too applying for ILR via post and are going to send across all the crucial documents (including some curcuai original documents like...
Cheers Limey, for updates. Therefore, we will each get multi-entry visas to visit each other What UK visa would that be? A tourist visa? or an FLR(M)? Then we will apply for a spouse visa for her to live in the UK. And this would be the VAF-1 settlement spouse visa (for 2 years) to be applied from C...
Hi, Well, when did you apply for a decision? - i.e the one that is currently pending. If it was done when you had a current and valid leave to remain in this country, then I guess you will be allowed to remain here until a decision is taken, since that is what the rules are! BUT if you had applied f...
Cheers Limey, yes it seems to differ with different caseworkers i guess. I don't understand why your wife was not given FLR for the 19-20 months to fix the gap, since from luky's post of information, it should have been automatic: Where an application for settlement is made but the applicant does no...
Cheers luky and docterror :-) Yes, looks like some hope at the end of the tunnel! ;-) I was only worried about the fact taht if we applied for ILR and they end up rejecting and (poosibly do not give FLR as well) then what happens. It looks like they do give FLR if they are not happy with granting IL...
Cheers guys. Yeah, but we have decided to go for the postal application route which we will post out on monday! Dawie said: British, it is clear that you should rather apply for ILR by post than for FLR. Hi Dawie, i agree to your point but looking at Limey's case, they rejected his wife's ILR and al...
Cheers Jabi, thanks for the support. I guess I am now trapped to choose between staying in Britan or have my family! ;-) I will go for the later :D Anyway, my experience is a clear indication of how HO will treat ILR and FLR(M) applications by spouses who are outside UK for more than 28 days! So guy...
Since many are reading this post to read teh progress of our case, i just wanted to keep this thread updated with the current state of our spouse visa extension process.
Hi All, Its bad news again!!!! :-( We went with our FLR(M) application with all the documents, and the lady at the (PEO) said none of the PEOs will consider FLR(M) applications for spouse visa extensions. She confirmed this after she spoke to Croyden PEO for about 15 minutes explaining everything. I...
Mahil, You asked him a question and i have helped you by pointing out an answer from his post, which is a direct answer to your question of criminal offense. Now whether that is the reason or not, i don't know, but what i pointed out is also one answer to your specific question. I know you would say...
Have you got any criminal record in India? I am hoping that this is not the reason, but i remember that the OP had travelled to India in his invalid Indian passport (a couple of time) after he had become a british citizen. That original thread of his post is here: http://www.immigrationboards.com/v...
I know, BUT having seen Limey's experience (well i know his case is a bit different) i ahve a feeling that they are playing tricks here. http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=14244 See my comments (dated 12th March evening) of what i gather from the trick that HO palyed on his wife! They ...
One thing which is not clear is, was your spouse's ILR application formally considered and rejected or were you simply told that your spouse did not qualify for ILR without any fee being taken. Nope, they did not consider teh application at all. She saw the section where my wife mentioned that she ...
Cheers limey. We have taken an appointment for tomorrow, in person FLR (M) appointment. Hopefully she will get a full 2-years extension, but it may also end up as that gap filling excerceise - 5.5 months. We are fine with both, anyway. Th eonly thing is cost: unneccessarily we will have to pay anoth...
OK guys :-) I have now called up the PEO and have booked an appointment for my wife's FLR (M) application :-):-) The person at the other end was adamant, and said we must apply for her ILR :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: And i said we have been through that fiasco (thank you very much!!!) ...
Well, if immigrants are not welcome in this country, who loses? At the end of the day, its britain that will lose - economically and talent wise as well. The immigrants have nothing to lose - if UK becomes an un-welcoming country, they will go somewhere else, obviously! The Planet does not just have...
Hi All, Since we have decided to apply for FLR (M) for my wife, i was just going through the documentation aspects. Initially i thought that the documentation reqd. were pretty similar to that specificed in SET (M), for example, that which reqd. 20 items of documents across 2 years etc. After readin...
Cheers Limey. Please do let us know how it went! As fo rus, we have decided to apply for an FLR (M). Legally there is nothing to stop us doing that. We will write a cover letter explaining why we are applying for an FLR (basically descrining about the gap of 5.5 months) and hopefully i think there i...
Cheers Limey. You should contact IND and just ask them what is the maximum amout of time you wife could be out of the country during the 2 years? Actually we did ask that specific question and the reception girl said 2-3 weeks as holidays. And teh supervisor said it depends on the caseworker who wor...
Yep, that's the FLR(M) form. We will be filling it up tonight. Thanks :-) And reading through guidance notes point 1 (Page 5) in the second paragraph, it says If you have already been given leave to remain or enter for 2 years as the spouse.... of a person present and settled in the UK, and are near...
Enjoy!
