Hi
My wife got Discreationary leave to remain for 3 years. If she go back home and want to apply for settlement visa as a spouse of British Citizen, how long the process take?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I need advise based on my wife situation: I became British Citizen in Feb 2010 as I was British National overseas without any citizenship. Before I became Citizen I was on student visa and my wife was dependent of a student. We are married enter to U.K in January 2003. Our stu...

She can't apply for flr(m) from within UK. If you have all the documents required, then she will be able to obtain spouse visa from her home country. In case her spouse visa is refused, her DL will still remain valid. Today I rang Home office and they told me that she can apply for further leave to...

Hello Forum members, First I would like to thanks John for his advise to me. The Good news is that my wife granted Limited Leave to remain for 3 years. Her earlier application FLR(M) was rejected, then I wrote a letter to Home office and raise Article 8 of Human rights. Is it possible for her to re-...

Hi John/forum members Just refer back to my wife case that her FLR(M) application was rejected , In response to her rejection I wrote letter to Home office and now she has been given DLR for three years. In the view of above can she apply for FLR(M) any time or she have to go to her country of origi...

Thanks for your reply.She is in the protection under section 3C. The application submitted before the expiry of her visa. However no right of appeal is given. Someone in the forum mentioned that we can write a letter to case worker and sent a documentary evidence. Does the case worker consider my re...

krimith, why are you shouting? On the internet posting in block capitals is equivalent to shouting, and on this board such posts are liable to be deleted without warning. Thanks for your reply. The case worker pick up the wrong dates and refuse her application without any solid reason. As this is a...

Dear John I refer back to my all previous communication with you and refresh the memory regarding to my case, I was BN(O) passport holder and was on a student visa and then I became a British Citizen on 23 Feb 10. My student visa was until 30 Nov 09 and I made my Tier 4 application before that expir...

I made FLR(M) application on 23/02/10(date I signed an application and post for next day delivery). It is with the Home office at present. My other application was rejected letter dated 23/02/10 under Tier 4 category as it was under consideration by case worker on the day when I made FLR(M) applicat...

They have sent my British national overseas passport and my wife passport to local enforcement office and in the letter case worker has mentioned to leave the country. We have to contact local enfircement office by 09 March 10. In the view of above the date of application FLR(M) is 23/02/10 and the ...

Hi John

The application of my wife under Tier 4 as a dependent is also rejected at the same time(Letter dated 23/02/10) and the problem is no right to appeal.

The only thing that concerns me about that is the Section 3C protection. We need to ensure that your wife does not become an overstayer. So I still think that the FLR(M) application should be submitted next ... with covering letter pointing out that Tier 4 Dependant application is outstanding. We n...

A couple of points to make. Firstly your visas did not expire in November. I say that and am assuming that the applications for new visas were submitted prior to the expiry date printed on the old visas? Yes? Assuming that to be the case Section 3C protection came into force and the old visas are &...

sushdmehta, nicely put. san12, the sooner your wife uses form FLR(M) and gets her 2-year spouse visa, the sooner she will end up with her ILR. Don't delay! Absolutely no need to wait until near the end of her current visa. Thanks John and Sushmehta for your advise. As my application and my dependen...

I think your wife now needs to use form FLR(M) to apply for a 2-year spouse visa. Near the expiry of that 2-year visa she would apply for ILR, or whatever it is called at the time. Thanks for your reply John. what is your opinion about other possible options if any? As my wife is a dependent and li...

What sort of visa does your wife currently have, and when was that visa issued? The main applicant is on student visa in U.K and become British citizen by registration using BO(S) form. The spouse is a dependent of a student of the main applicant who need to apply for ILR/Naturalization. The applic...
