Hello Friends, The latest set M form that I see on gov.uk website is version-7 and says that anyone applying after July-13 must use this form. I had already filled my Set M Form a month back, which was version-4. When I called the Settlement Checking service to check if I could still use my already ...

Thanks for the information. Can you please tell me for how many years back should these documents be for. My wife got her "tier-1 Dependent visa" first in May 2013 and then in June 2016. So I understand that I need to submit these documents from June-2016 onward. Please advise. The line fo...

Hello Friends, My wife has to apply for ILR this year and as proof of co-habitation, I intend to use print out of Sutton council tax statement. On the statement, its written in big and bold font "INTERNET COPY". The council is not ready to provide anything more than this for the previous y...

Mcol does not have risk of incurring legal cost

Coming back to original question, can I raise this as MCOL claim.

They can take unpredictable length of time and for the reason the advise stands valid but the advise cannot be a Pancea for their administrative errors. Also increased visa fee is my motivation to pursue that case, not reason and neither do I intend to mention this anywhere. As this was asked I was ...

They refused saying that applicants are advised not to book tickets.

I want to claim because they have increased visa fee so much. Have ti she'll put £2200.00 for my wife's visa

Yes three years is the time UKBA say and that may not be binding if they can be subject to general laws which gives up to six years to claim any owed money.

And that's why I am asking this question

Many thanks for you reply.

Basically they had made and admitted their mistake in assessing my application but refused to refund my air travel ticket saying that they advise applicants not to book ticket in advance. However I don't think I am bound by their advise and that I want to claim this in court, five years after the in...

Hello Friends,

Can you tell me whether the UKBAs service of assessing visa application is subject to general consumer laws or not ? And if so , can I raise a claim in court, six years after I was wronged by them.

Thanks

Anyone to reply this please. I have become too confused, specially after going through the form. I want to avoid the situation where my fee is used-up for filing a wrong application.

Hello All, I am wondering if the form i printed is the correct one. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/517420/FLR_M__04-16.pdf. It asks for six documents to prove that my wife was cohabiting with me. Strange. How can one have six different documents? We have do...

Thanks Vinny for reply. I have just printed the application form "FLR(M) version 04/2016".

She had originally got pbs dependent visa on 28-Jan-2013, came to UK on 28-Feb-2013 and then moved to ILR Dependent on 15-May-2013 by FLR.

So when will clock start for her ILR eligibility?

Will I have to pay health surcharge , even if I come under old rules?

Hello All, many thanks for reply.

Can you please tell me the difference between old and new rules. Which year did the new rules come? That will give me idea to research on internet.

Thanks

Thanks Amber for reply. What is KoLL you have mentioned in your advise.

Can it not be as spouse of British citizen instead? Will the application cost be same.? Or any other advantage in future of choosing spouse over FLR extension?

There was no need for her to switch to ILR Dependent (which is FLR(M)). As she applied for spouse settlement visa before April 2014, she is covered by the transitional provisions, which is why she was only given a visa for 2 years. She can apply for ILR on form SET(M) if she has English B1 and LIUK...

You mean she switched to FLR(M)? Did you apply for your ILR under the 5 year route or long residence? Thanks Casa for reply. I applied and got ILR under 5 year route. I got tier-1 in Apr-2008 and applied for premium service ILR in Mar-2013. Once I got ILR in Mar-2013, I had to change the visa categ...

Hello Friends, I am very much confused with regards to my wife's visa extension. Her current visa is due to expire on 15-May-2016. She had moved from tier-1 dependent visa to ILR dependent visa in May-2015. Her visa was showing as vaid till May-2016. Once she gets visa as dependent of ILR, why shoul...

Hello All, I know a lady who is a teacher in a child care nursery. She has diploma in child care. Before working in child nursery, she used to work at Loreal as hair stylist and that's how I came to know her. So can she be a Professional referee needed for signing my British Citizenship form? Thanks

Can someone comment/advise/share experience please.

My mother was in UK this year, from 22-Jan to 27-May-2014, on six months family visitor. The end date for visa was 22-July-14. My question is: When can she apply for her next family visitor visa, given that one can spend at most six months on family visitor visa in any twelve month period? I believe...

Thanks PhysicsKate for reply. I am aware of this. I did not mention this anywhere in the application. It's absurd through. I am absolutely not keen on giving a child who cannot speak and understand to an outsider. Can you please help me on my questions as to when can my mother/father apply to be out...

Thanks for your reply. So given that my mother left UK on 27-May-2014, (even though the visa was valid till 22-July), If she applies for a visa starting from 28-Nov, Will that be okay, as far as this rule is concerned? Also my father was in UK for two weeks only, leaving on 27-May with my mother. Do...

Hello All, I have got into this crisis suddenly yesterday as my mothers visa got refused. Just to set the background, my mother was in London this year, from 22-Jan to 27-May-2014, on six months family visitor .We applied for a six months family visitor visa again, starting from 31-Oct-2014. The dec...
