Re: question for FLR (M) When will i apply?

You're missing the point. I'll try again. 1. If the entry into the UK is delayed by more than 3 months (33 month visa), if they apply 28 days before the 30 month anniversary they will have a shortfall in the 5 year qualifying period. Therefore they shouldn't apply any earlier than 28 days before th...

Re: question for FLR (M) When will i apply?

Note the word 'encourage', which is not 'mandatory'. I've explained (clearly I hope) the window in which to apply. Some members are confused with the UKVI guidance and believe they MUST apply exactly on the 28th day prior to the visa expiry date. They can choose to apply 28 days before the 30 month...

in fact if you don't pay IHS at the time of making application then UKVI contact you to pay it within 7 or 10 days depend if you are inside or outside UK before refusing your application
