Personally, for 2.2 I've answered 'No' as the entry visa was the spouse of a settled person.
For 2.3 I selected 'first period of leave to remain' as this is the first FLR application we are making.

Looks as though you have covered everything. Just to add that this is the first application for leave to remain... first visa was an entry visa (assuming you married before your spouse came to the UK)... just in case you ticked the wrong box on the form.

But you are using calculations for six months when you will only have documentation for three months for the second job... if I am reading correctly. Although your employer is happy to state you have been employed for the last six months, you won't have any bank statements/payslips confirming this w...

In answer to your first question - I guess because the form is for further leave to remain and people get to this stage in a variety of ways, the questions are phrased in reference to that stage of immigration to cover all routes. So definitely 'No' if you're following the 5 year partner route. Q3. ...

Screenshot and send what you can just before your wife applies. Submit all the screenshots from your wife's phone as that will show the same thing anyway... incoming/outgoing.

Was anyone successful in getting FLR for their spouse as a tenant with just a tenancy agreement and no letter? I am really worried that my housing association won't provide a letter in time for our application. My husband's visa expires next month but I really don't want to wait till last minute to ...

1) Tenancy agreement should be original not copy and also most of these documents if not all Land Registry documents mortgage statements rent book or tenancy agreement council tax statements property inspection report utilities bills accommodation details with a supporting letter from the occupant/...

Oh and is there a deadline to submit the application once the IHS has been paid?

Anyone able to help out with the above queries?? OK a few more... 4. The application date was always from the date of payment for entry clearance so would the financial documents required need to be within 28 days of the online payment if doing the premium service or within 28 days of the postal app...

Hi all, I am back with a few questions in the run up to my husband's application for FLR. 1. I have requested a letter from my housing association to confirm they give consent to my husband living in my flat. If I do not get this letter in enough time to submit, would it be ok to just submit the cop...

That's news to me. The initial visa to enter the country as a spouse is 33 months to give applicants 3 months extra if they need time before they travel. The rules state clearly that the applicant needs to have been in the UK for 60 months to then apply for FLR. If they came to the UK as soon as the...

It shouldn't be a problem, however it would help if she had details of the new contract. Is she an agency worker? If so, is there any chance the agency could provide a letter to state she will be in a new contract from Sept?

Non salaried employment is where you are paid by the hour or 'per job', etc. If you are paid an hourly rate the dip below £1550 won't matter as the calculation for non salaried is just working out the average earned over the 6 months prior to application. If you are paid £1620 as annual salary paid ...

My husband applied in Kingston back in 2013 when processing was still done there... 90+% of applications were done within 60 working days and ours was the same. I haven't heard much from those applying in the Caribbean as you've said since processing was moved to Sheffield. I found this page helpful...

You have to be earning at least 18,600 at the time of application also. You can only rely on a job offer when returning from living abroad. Your only option would be combining your wife's salary with savings if you have any.

You need the financial documentation for employment 6 months before maternity leave (or 12 months if you worked there less than 6 months before maternity). Maternity doesn't make your application complicated (or the Home Office would have some discrimination questions to answer!) so you can go for t...

You need to be employed at the point of application as well as the 6-12 months prior to.

Not quite sure about that... if you entered using that visa the first time they should have stamped it on that date regardless of how long you would actually be in the country for given that it's for 2.5 years.

I would say to apply by post a couple of days before the visa expires.

You could either wait until you have been in the temp post for 6 months (Cat A) or if you have been earning enough in your present/last job you could apply under Cat B for the last 12 months prior to application.You would be able to do that straight away if you were in your last job long enough.

Shouldn't be an issue as there are people on temporary contracts to sponsor their partners... as long as you have six months of documentation prior to application I don't think the duration of the contract matters.

You need to think about your safety and well being first! You can apply for leave aside from being a spouse if you are a victim of domestic abuse but you need to take the appropriate steps to protect yourself and your daughter... think about it - once you get the advice how would you go about making...

You would need to wait until you have been earning a total income of 18,600... only one more month. Just begin compiling your documents now.

FYI if you are with an employment agency who supplies these jobs you can use Cat A. If not... I believe the minimum amount for savings is £16K. I am not aware that you can add previous periods as a carer - i think that would have to be the case at the time of application. If anyone knows any differe...

I don't have any personal experience of appeals... however if he is self employed and has not submitted the correct paperwork, I don't really see grounds for appeal as the requirements are very clear.
