Hi I am on here asking questions as you are, so no expert, but I am almost certain that your maintenance payments will not affect you meeting the financial requirements. The requirement does not take into account the sponsor's outgoings, which is why a lot of people feel it is unfair. For example, s...

Does an applicant need to send birth certificate and passport for his stepchildren or just for his biological children? They live with him and his wife and are British Citizens. Thank you.

Hi My son-in-law is due to apply for FLR as a partner to his wife, my daughter. They have 2 children together, both British citizens. However, my daughter has children to a previous marriage who live with them. Does he need to provide the birth certificates and passports for his stepchildren also? T...

Please can anyone advise me? After a long process helping a friend with and FLR (FP) application, it was finally sent off yesterday. I have literally just discovered that the form updated and the fee increased on Wednesday. I am so upset and worried for him as I'd been stressing so much I never cons...

The only thing we're struggling with now is a letter addressed to his son at his home he shares with his mum. She doesn't have any letters and it's a bit late now to get one from anywhere. Is this really so important to prove that the child lives with his mum? And is a birth certificate with both pa...

If applicant is for a father of a British child who is no longer with his wife, is it necessary to answer questions about his ex's finances. I.e. Question 5.7 of FLR (FP) asked about the salary of partner, but there is no scope to say that question is not applicable. 5.9 asks about public funds, whi...

Can an applicant request that correspondence, particularly son's passport, be returned to a different address, i.e. his ex-wife's address?

Ok thank you.

The FLR(FP) guidance states that an applicant must provide either a passport or National Identity Card for the purpose of proving their nationality. If an applicant has a current passport does he have to send it or can he send his National Identity card instead? Or is the option of identity card onl...

Thank you for replying. Could you possibly take a look at my other post asking questions about the FLR (FP) application? If you've seen it already then I apologise. It's just that I have been able to help with most if the form but it is unclear on some aspects. I've phoned the government helpline an...

Can anyone help me with any of these questions please?

Yes, he has a full birth certificate with both parents names on. But his ex is reluctant to hand over their son's passport.

Im hoping someone can help me with this. My friend is applying to remain in the UK as the father of a British child. He has recently split from his wife and she is refusing to let him have their son's passport. Will a certified copy be acceptable? He is really worried this will jeopardise his applic...

Can anyone please help me with these questions? Thank you.

I'm very sorry your visa was refused. Unfortunately I'm not a moderator or anything, I'm on here to ask questions too. But I have to tell you that getting a visit visa is extremely difficult and in many cases, impossible. It is difficult to prove that your partner would return to Turkey after the vi...

I forgot to ask, does he need to provide correspondence to his home address or is that just for partners proving they have a subsisting relationship?

I am helping a friend who came to the UK on a spouse visa but has recently separated. He is applying for permission to stay as the father of a British child. I have a few questions and would be very grateful for any help. Thank you. Question 5.4 Where it asks if anyone else lives with him does he sa...
