Oh interesting, does that also mean we don't need the letter saying she lived with family since we didn't live together initially? Also, I know the fees are increasing for most visas but it looks like spouse visas within the UK will remain the same for now if I'm correct that that's under "leav...
"Hi Again! We submitted our docs and have booked an appointment for next month. But funny enough it looks fees for FLR(M) won't be increased for now so there wasn't really need for such a rush. One thing I've noticed though is we don't quite have enough joint/single correspondence documents dat...

I asked earlier about ECCTIS v SELT and relayed the response to my partner, who agreed to do the ECCTIS and contact her uni etc. I've...
