Hi All, As I mentioned earlier, we had been to PEO to apply for FLR(M) for my wife. We had included a covering letter stating all the facts and different responses we got from UKBA. After reading the covering letter, he went to discuss our case with his senior caseworker. And to our surprise, he sai...

Thanks Greenie for pointing out. I got the wrong section of the application when trying to post here. I was referring to 6.4 - "The name in which your fingerprints were taken". So should I give my wife's name there? Thanks once again.

Hi, I have a doubt in the FLR(M) application form, Section 6.2 - Biometric Residence Permit. I'm filling this form for my wife and she has already undergone biometrics thrice before (twice from India & one here in UK). I'm not clear about "The name in which you made the application" fi...

ilr_uk, According to this statement, it seems clear that (presently) dependant(s) of PBS cannot apply for settlement without switching to FLR(M) beforehand.

Hi All, Just to update you on my wife's visa status..Even though we got response from this forum that she will not be considered overstayer as she her Tier 2 dependent visa is valid till Feb 2012, we thought of preparing for FLR(M) to be on the safer side.

The caseworker was wrong in his/her interpretation of the immigration rules / requirements. A successful case . regards Thanks a lot for your replies sushdmehta... so just curious, is there something we can do about it? I have the fees refund receipt with me. Would it be of any help if we consult a...

Initially I paid the fees for both of us, but when our case was considered, the caseworker checked my wife's passport and said she doesnt qualify as she hasnt completed 2 years in UK as my dependent. So as you have qouted in your post, we tried to explain to her that we read in the UKBA site that sh...

Hi All, I had applied for ILR in Tier 2 Category (WP & Tier 2) at Liverpool PEO today with my wife as my dependent. Even though i got ILR, my wife's ILR was refused saying she has not completed 2 years in UK as my dependent. We got married in August 2008 and she came to UK in September 2008 on i...
