I already advised to apply for FLR(M) and vary the application to ILR when eligible. I don't understand what you mean by "vary the application"? You will get a refund for all fees paid for the FLR application too I was under the impression from an earlier post (by meself2) that we wouldn'...

There is no such requirement as arriving on time, at least the way you think. It is up to you when to travel. She either qualifies for ILR or not. Follow the advice given already to you But that's just it, it wasn't up to us when she travelled. As I mentioned in my opening post my wife was evacuate...
