Re: Applying FLR FP

Hi. As confusing as it is, it's the same form - family route.

They do not separate out english test and finances when it comes to Partner 10 year route which according to the FLR FP rules it is not required.

So you're good to go on that one

Re: Can overstayer get married with British citizens , question for bathanza

The only thing to do is to write to them with the case reference number and request it to be sent to the registrar office. The customer service number I would doubt would give the right info.

Re: Can overstayer get married with British citizens , question for bathanza

Oh I appreciate the question! So one thing is sure. Marriage is not the only thing that will help you with gaining a visa to stay. To see what obstacles there are which will allow the Home Office to approve or decline is key if you do marry then apply FLR M. However, with corona virus the guidance i...

Re: FLR FP guidance help!

One thing to remember, the home office refuse applications for silly reasons

Do not risk this by ignoring what they want as evidence or expect they will be kind and ask for a letter- it does not work that way.

Re: How far in advance can you apply for FLR?

You can apply anytime. You will have a shortfall if you are coming up to 10 years Long Residence, even by a few months.

Apply 28 days before expiry should be fine.

Will ask follow up questions once I see the application again and outcome. Will pay to get a faster decision. ;)
