I have had a flr m application outstanding for quite some time. Had been refused before and now after a very long battle they decided to reconsider the application in June 2010. I have recently been contacted by them requesting further documents of where I and my husband live. Has anyone been throu...

Thank you very much for the reply kkj. No my friend can't help me with funds as my requirement is huge. Got to show approx.£18000 for the maintenance for me and my dependents, apart from the uni fees. No option got to pack my bags. Parents can act as financial sponsors too if this is of any releva...

but in that case, what if my visa does not get issued before my old visa expires. do I become illegal for that particular period of time? No, your status will remain as your previous status and treated as "continuing" until your case has been decided. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sit...

Hi there, I just wanted to know if it is safe for me to apply for my visa by post, considering I will not be able to make my application before 15th of Jan (bank statement issue) and that my Visa expires on the 30th Jan. Many thanks in advance! Technically, you could submit the application via post...

Do you think my wife should include her CV in the spouse visa application VAF4?

Thank you.

If she is employed or has a job offer, she won't need to - otherwise, including a CV + qualifications will be evidence of showing her employability.

Does anyone know if the home office keep the payment page when sending your documents back?

Thanks.

Yes, in my experience. Though sometimes they do return it with a stamp on it, showing the date on which they took payment.

In my opinion this is not the case of switching. You have made freash application so you should inform UKBA regarding this by the email provided by UKBA and if they give you positive reply take a copy to your college and attend the college as per course time table. "Students applying to change...

But can't you do in your free time what you want? Like studying. The conditions of a work permit is to work full time and permament, what you do in the evenings or weekends is up to you? So for argument sake if I want to do a weekend course in Excel, I have to ask the UKBA? As far as I know, studyi...

One of the agencies that I have registered with does offer maternity pay. How is he supposed to have a written job offer if he cannot apply for any jobs until after he has a spouse visa? The employer can state that they will employ him as soon as he enters the UK on a spouse visa. So he will have t...

so, where to start now? I am preparing all needed documents, waiting the GP letter, midwife letter and NARIC response to equal the English language exam. I will contact a lawyer, and will fill the application, but which one? is it the FLR M or FLR O? I will submit the application before her visa fi...

If necessary, then yes. Normally, I would involve an MP if the application is refused.

She also said that it would be difficult to apply for either a fiance or marriage visa, because we have not been together for 2 years. She also said that the next option would be to marry in his country and apply for a spouse visa,whilst staying there for 3 months. But she also said there were no g...

qudah wrote:So the GP note will not help me with FLR M, it will help with FLR O.

so what is next for me? what shall i do?

No, the GP's letter will be applicable for either routes you may decide to take.

what is the difference between FLR O and FLR M? when I submit the application, with the GP and through a lawyer, will the Home Office reject it directly, or they will look at it then decide to accept or reject? FLR (O) will be based on discretionary/exceptional grounds, FLR (M) will be based on you...

However I tracked my documents through Royalmail online tracking service and saw that they delivered it in its post box...

How long did it take until you received your documents back? How about the application fee? Is there any way to refund the money?
