Thank you all for you input

You are correct the it is mandatory for my wife to have the “de my surname” on her passport.

That being said, will the Uk authorities take a pragmatic approach and allow it the UK way with just my surname? Or will they only mirror the Peruvian?

Thanks

What do you mean by change her foreign passport first?

What’s the reason she would need to do that?

Also she is unable to. We tried to last time and it’s a Peruvian Passport, they would only allow the maiden name plus the addition of “de” and my surname. E.g Gloria Sanchez Lopez De Thompson

Hello Guys, Hope you are all well. We will be going for ILR soon now that my wife has almost completed her Spouse Extension Visa. Historically as all her documentation was in her maiden name, up until now the visa have been in her maiden name. When we go for ILR and she gets her UK passport, can we ...

Hello CR001, thank you for the reply.

Many Thanks

Hello Guys, hope everyone is well. I have been trying to look on the forum and having no luck finding the ILR checklist. When doing the spouse visa and spouse extension, I was able to see a thread which showed what everyone was including, to ensure they had everything. I cannot for the life of me fi...

Understood.

We have input our travels on the application form and have also scanned all pages of both passports showing stamps going in and out the countries. Is that all that is required?

Thanks

Just so I’m clear, I should upload all passports used since we started our Finance visa?

Thanks

Hello Guys,

Last thing that has come to mind, does applicant need to upload previously held passports or only current?

Thanks

Thank you AmazonianX

Yes I have been over thinking it, I know we pass all the criteria, just some questions are odd. I couldn’t work out if I should tick the “other reason wanting to stay evidence” on the checklist.

I just ticked it anyway.

Biometrics on Friday, so just now got to wait

Could an expert please kindly assist me with this?

Thanks

We put for “why we can live outside the UK”; Established a solid life in UK, I have a mortgage and we have friends and family here. For “Factors that make it difficult to establish private life in country of applicants birth” we put; Economy is currently very unstable, lack of employment and there i...

We simply put that we have cemented a life here and that my wife has a strong bond with my family, has a job she likes and has met some new close friends.

We weren’t going to supply anything to cover that though. Is this something that we should do?

Thanks

I have just noticed on the checklist there is one that says;

Documents supporting my other reasons to stay in the UK.

What documents is this referring to? I have only supplied what is in my checklist posted above.

Thanks

Apologies.

I just wanted confirmation from one of the Gurus to ensure the list of documents I have is correct and am not missing anything
