Thanks for all your replies and input. This morning I have an update. She has been granted an "exceptional assurance" until 30th June. She can now stay without any adverse consequences for future applications. Great news and a huge weight off my mind ! Now we will try to both get vaccinate...

You won't find it in black-and-white. You will find it in stories on these forums. It is possible that your girlfriend's FLR(IR) may well be granted. But be aware that the Home Office takes a very hard line against people who exceed even the amount that they have stated on their initial visit visa ...

Thanks for replies. For the benefit of others in the future. I could not continue with the FLR (IR) visitor visa extension application, without first obtaining and quoting an IHS registration number. So after being diverted from the Visa Application site, to the IHS site, I followed the prompts, and...

Thanks so much vinny Is this the relevant bit: "or where the leave to enter which may be granted pursuant to that entry clearance would be for 6 months or less if granted in accordance with the immigration rules;" So Rule 3 Relates to the IHS ? And this applies to onshore extensions of Vis...

Hi, First post, need urgent help please! Entered UK from Thailand last week. I'm British, Thai Girlfriend. Her 6 months visitor visa expires 12th April. I made a big mistake, thinking she just needed to enter by 9th April, then would be given 6 months stamp! I'd read US specific information, not UK ...
