Will this be fine or result in gap during ILR?

Probably not. She can apply within 28 days before reaching 30 months or latest before her visa expires. 30 months is 8th September.

Applying by 26th September will be fine to avoid ILR shortfall; that's after 30 months.

If 2nd extension on a 10 year route, 28 days before completing 30 months counting from the date the last visa was granted; or earlier if time to ILR is less than 30 months.

Thanks for your detailed reply, her visa expires on 11th November, the IHS fee increase is from the 1st of October, is it possible I can apply earlier to pay current fee or how early can I apply ? You may apply at any time. It is however recommended to apply no earlier than 28 days before completin...

It should start from 6months after the visa was granted/entry into UK of the spouse.

It is really the 2 years prior to the date of application which may not be the same as the above.

Thanks, what kind of evidence do you need for IHS payment confirmatin and Visa Fee paid confirmation? I've just got the downloadable confirmation which appeared on screen when I paid for Visa fee and the IHS fee. is this fine? or do i need to include the email confirmations and screenshots of payme...

Am I right in assuming declaration forms need to be uploaded along with documents ?

Yes.

Any idea .. can I use docu sign instead of print, sign and scan ?

If it matches your signature on other uploaded docs, why not?

I think he’s asking about returning the passport (decision is still pending). Not the BRP at this stage.

Where did the OP state that they submitted the passport as part of the application?

With the situation of things currently, it may well be that appointments for biometrics will be delayed. In your case, a delay of the biometrics appointment until the last few days of August or any date in September using the standard application will sort out the problem; and 28 days should be adde...

Does that mean the standard bank statement that comes in the mail every month would work? They are not on any special stationary, or have any official stamps on each page?

Certainly.

What is the visa type that runs out in December?

Also how late can I apply? If I was to apply on 4th July e.g would I be classed as overstayer?

No.

If that's what you choose to do for whatever reason, do ensure the visa fee is paid on that date.

Let's keep it simple. The point that was made is that the 10-year route to ILR can be granted for applications made outside the UK which you have stated isn't possible. No matter how you twist and turn with your so-called explanations, the simple fact is that it is possible, albeit more difficult. I...

What are you talking about? I thought the OP is enquiring about applying as a partner. The bit you've cited is referring to an application as a parent which is a totally separate route. Did you look at D-ECP.1.2.? It is separate from EC-PT which is where the bit you've cited is under in the Rules .

Being married is not an issue. The rules provide for it. It is difficult as exceptional circumstances and Article 8 issues are involved.

See D-ECP.1.2.

A grant under this section is for the 10-year route to ILR.

sorry I don't understand what you mean one and the same, please explain.

Ok. I hope it is clearer now, with the explanations others have given.

If not, then please state the date they entered the UK, and the date stamped on their passport on their arrival at the UK port.

Yes , you can apply 28 days before date of expiry. 28 days before Date on the Bio-Metric Card to be precise. Not correct. It is one of the possible dates, up until the visa expiry date. The other one you've mentioned is the recommended earliest date (to avoid a shortfall for ILR). The extension its...

Residence on a spouse visa starts counting from the date your spouse entered the UK. It is not based on the initial visa issue date.

so the date stamped in the passport when she was in airport?

Yes, if they are one and the same.

The net pay for example won't be shown on the personal tax account online.

They never hold record of net pay. Also DVLA & HMRC's staff are working together to cover the staff shortages means a lot of data hasn't yet fully updated.

I did say it won't be shown.

Your personal tax account would normally show the taxable income as the gross, tax & NI, and these should match what's on your payslip.
The net pay for example won't be shown on the personal tax account online.

Depends on what discrepancies exactly you believe there are.

May also depend on the period covered by the payslip.
