Yes - it's easy for me to get confused ! Trying a new part of the forum after excellent advice in other parts during the process of marrying my Indonesian wife and getting her permanent residency. Me - UK citizen born and bred Spouse - Indonesian citizen - with ILR Wife thinks as UK part of Europe s...
You can only get married once I think ! If you marry in the UK - registry office for example then your fiencee can apply the next day if you wish for FLR(m) - which will start the (at present 2 year) clock for the ILR journey. But you will have to pay for the fiencee visa and also the FLR(m) visa af...
Hi all, Wife recieved her ILR yesterday 5 weeks after applying by post :D Probably a stupid query now - Citizenship is the next obvious step for most I guess. Wife does not want citizenship - she is Indonesian and it is not allowed for her to dual nationality, she would lose a lot of what she has in...
A quick update to my thread ! We (she) applied by post about 5 days before her FLR expired (May 30) with all the usual documents, and just a letter outlining what documents we submitted and what she was applying for - did nothing else - on the basis if there is anything they want to know they will a...

I am in the middle of completing the form as my wife has her appointment soon. please get back to me. It means ...

Thanks Vinny - I have the SET M form and guidance notes already downloaded 4.5. Further guidance There is no specific requirement in the Rules that the entire probationary period must be spent in the United Kingdom. For example, where an applicant has spent a limited period outside of the United Kin...
Hi all - long time since my last post and I notice things have moved around a bit ! Quick question . . Wifes 2 year FLR visa expires end of May - we got this in person at Croydon just after we got married. Wife left for Bali (alone) a few weeks later to finish her contract before moving to UK full t...
Well - when we got back we both went to the non UK queue, the girl in front of us got sent to the UK queue.
No problems entering at all, the lady who checked our passports and wifes visa page said it was fine for us both to use this queue as we were travelling together.
I think the 6 month validity rule is also an airline stipulation in most cases, as they get hammered financially if they fly someone to a country who is then refused entry due to less than 6 months on their passport, and they then have to take that person back to the fight originating country. I jus...
Probably a silly question, I married my Indonesian wife in May, we (she) got FLR a couple of days later. We are off to Bali to go see her family next week, and arrive back in T3 Heathrow. Do we have to go to seperate queues for passport control or can I join her in the non EU queue or vise versa ? I...
Victoria - can you clarify this a little ? For example ... First 2 year Spouse visa - 9 months was spent out of country, then remainder in UK, so a new Spouse visa is issued due to the absence from UK for so long. I think the OP wanted to know if they had to wait for the end of the 2nd 2 year Spouse...
if we apply for a fiances visa is it ok for my girlfriend to visit the UK whilst we are waiting for the visa to be processed? If you Fiancee applies for a Fiancee visa then I think she wont have a passport to come here in the meantime as they have the passport with the application - the visa has to...
As far as marrying, I believe you could marry in the CoE without needing a fiance visa I recently married my wife ( from Bali ) in a Church of England service. If I remember correctly - you DO need a Fiancee visa to get married in the C of E, as this was part of the Churches requirement for it to b...
A flight ticket showing your booked return flight back home from the UK would help in convincing of your intention to return home after your holiday, as would maybe a letter from an employer stating your job back home and that indeed you are on holiday from your job which is waiting for you on your ...
My fiencee (now wife) came into heathrow from Bali 4 weeks ago, I waited for 2 hours after she landed and then called her and discovered she was having a medical screening and TB test. Apparently when she presented her passport / fiencee visa at immigration they asked to see her X- rays and TB test ...
And another little query or two - After looking through the new 2007 FLR(M) form, it says the fee is £595(applying in person) ? If so this is great (well - not great ! ) as I must have misread the new fee list which came out and was thinking it was £950 - or is £950 the fee for after the 2 year p...
Thanks John, so really even though she has a lot to sort out, we should try and get the final move over here completed as soon as possible. It will take so long as her job is in Bali - but her own house is in Jakarta, so a lot of travelling and flights are needed to sort these out, the job is contra...
Marrying end of May - Wife will be Indonesian, and we shall be applying on form FLR(M) straight after the marriage for the 2 year 'probationary' period. What (if any) are the rules regarding my then wife leaving the UK and returning to Bali and coming back to the UK at a later date ? She has ties to...
Well, my fiancee in Bali got news from her agent that they have her passport back complete with fiancee visa !! This is great news, but I am a bit suspicious as to whether the agent has everything right, as she never had to attend an interview or anything, which I thought she would have to do as it ...
