Hello I've only just noticed the footnote on the application about "required photocopies"....does this mean I have to bring photocopies of everything I am submitting? (application, bills, letters, statements, passports etc) I thought the premium service can at least include photocopying co...
Hi I thought I'd start a timeline for my SET(M) application here for info, this board has been immense help in my previous PSW visa and Spouse BRP applications. I will update as I go along. I have booked a morning slot for premium service at Croydon PEO on 20 August. It is very close to my 26th expi...
Hello Which SCS did you go to? I'm thinking about using the SCS but would need my ILR visa by November as I have a holiday booked. I thought I'd risk it and save money with the SCS. I have a BRP card from my spouse visa, but do I need to do a new one for the SET(M)? Or do I just post my existing one...
I'm thinking about using the SCS, but can't seem to find any recent timelines that have used this route. I'll be applying in August but I would need my approval in 2 months time...has anyone recently used this service?
I have already enquired about the settlement checking service in Islington, London as the Croydon PEO says " Private appointments are not available." on the UKBA website.
Does this mean I will be paying the "in person" fee or "by post" fee?
Hello I've entered the UK in July 2007 originally on a student visa studying MA. I got my leave to remain as a spouse on 30 Aug 2011. My husband is a British citizen. So now do I use FLR(M) or SET(M) for my ILR visa? And do I need to have my old visas on my old passport (my student visa and my PSW) ...
You can apply for ILR up to 28 days before you current visa expires, which is anytime from 30th July - June is far too early and yes, you will have to wait till you get to this 28 day before expiry window. Thank you for such a swift reply! So I am eligible for the ILR rather than extending my spous...
Hello I've been reading through the first few pages of this forum and a lot of it has to do with families & dependents with shorter residence time. I've been living in the UK since '07 on student visa, then PSW, married since june '11 & had residence permit as spouse since august '11. I thou...
Hi everyone, just wanted to report as to how the FLRM premium service for me is going on at the moment. I made my appointment online about 2 weeks ago. 8.55am: Me & my husband arrived at Croydon PEO for our 9.20am appointment. 9.25am:Got to our window on 2nd floor after security check, document ...
Can one fill out the interactive FLR form and pay online for the premium service? Or Do I have to fill out the paper form and take it with me to the office? For forms applied in person it says I can get my biometrics enroled on the day of applying, but does that apply for all £850 in-person applic...
This might be getting a bit tedious, but are my transcript & letter of confirmation from my college in the USA dated 2006 (the year I graduated) any good for my FLRM app? My transcript has my old address in the States too. Are they going to ask for something that is dated more recently and with ...
Hi, My wife just got her FLR(M) approval today. She had applied for a premium service. The interactive FLR form is perfectly safe and easy to use. ALso, make sure you pay online - this will save you a lot of time when you got to the PEO. Your biometrics will be done on the same day - before your ap...
The ECO in birmingham was only interested with our passports, payslip of my wifw, marriage cert and finally my english test. No other docs needed.. Told us that everything is fine, your visa is granted. Appoimtmnt sched 12:30 got in 12:00 early we went out of the bldg at 12:20 pm and advice to come...
WOW, that is much faster than I expected...now maybe I should do postal rather than premium! My current visa expires at the end of September, I wonder if that is enough time!
You can book appointments using the online system, you can select your dates and see what times are available. It seems like you can see available time slots for about 1.5-2 months in advance, but I was looking for a different type of visa appointment so this is just an estimate for you!
I am applying for a straightforward FLRM application IN PERSON. I am currently on a PSW visa. So far I have nearly got all of : 1. My payslips for the past 3 months 2. My husband's payslips for the past 3 months 3. Statements for our joint bank account, my own account, and husband's own account for ...

that sounds like a good idea-
Would it be advisable I do that now? or if I had an appeal would the bank statements I would assume they'd have to be stamped within a month of the rejection date rather than the original application date?
just so that I will be mentally prepared, in case of rejection would I receive all my documents with an appeal form? Or is this something I have to request? I'm looking at the Border Agency site and can't seem to find the exact process details on the site. please help. (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.go...
