Dear CR001, still completing the paperwork to post later today. I am currently writing a sponsorship statement and just wanted to know if I should put "my husband is applying for FLRM" or "My husband is applying for an extension to FLRM"? Also on the FLR(M) form theres a question...
If he meets the requirements it is flr(m) but you must send it before his visa expires. Flr(FP) is for when you don't meet the requirements and will put him on a 10 year path (4 x 2.5 year visas) which you don't want. Brilliant, thank you. Yes he meets all the requirements (employment, salary, Engl...
Okay, we will use B1. I spoke to a solicitor today and she told me he needs a different English test for FLR(M). But I will now disregard that. I have one last question please, someone mentioned form FLR-FP instead of FLR(M). I know you've said its FLR(M) but just want to confirm thats the only form...
Thank you again.
He has a level B1 with distinction. He took it three weeks and and also did the Life in the UK test last month.
Will the B1 suffice or does he have to take a different test?
His residence for ILR starts from the date he ENTERED the UK and not from the date his visa was issued. Thank you CR001. If he applies for an extension does he have to use the same SET(M) form and does he need to take another English test? Im sorry for all the questions but with a spinning head it ...
he cant able to apply ILR before 18th june 2018. if he did, he will be rejected with out appeal. As CR001 told. apply FLR(M) extension. His visa was issued on 3/06/13, if we use the 28 day rule he should be able to apply from 6/05/18, just 14 days after his brp expires. I dont understand why you ar...
Hi Kolly, my husband is in a similar situation, could you tell me if you applied directly for ILR or an extension? My husbands visa runs out this Friday but he doesn't complete fiver years (after taking 28 days early) until 6/05/18. I would really appreciate your help as we don't have any time on ou...
I have just spoken to a solicitor who has advised to still go ahead with the application for indefinite leave to remain as by the time a decision is made he would have completed 5 years. (My husband has already completed the Life in UK test and an approved English test). I am slithery of this approa...
He applied in India on July 2012, I don't know the exact date but it was under the new rules of a minimum income of £18600, the application was refused, we wrote back asking to have the decision made by the ECO overturned and it was overturned on May 20th 2013. Visa issued on 3rd June 2013.
Dear board members, I would rally appreciate some help as I am extremely confused and am being told different things from solicitors, the UKBA and other board members. If someone could please try to give me a definite answer as I am quite desperate now. I don't know when my husband will qualify for ...
Great news is that my husband has finally got his visa!! But theres no mention of a medical. I thought he would need to undergo a medical? His passport has been stamped with the visa and thats all, there was no letter with it. You never know with the UKBA, they may have forgotton to attach a letter?...
My husband's spouse visa was refused and we are currently going through the appeal process. However the process has so far been nothing but a nightmare as our solicitor has been anything but helpful. Our appeal was lodged a few weeks ago (by my solicitor) and he has set all originals documents to th...
My husband and I are in the process of preparing our appeal paperwork and we only have a week left to submit. However, I am not sure as to whether we should send the appeal online or via post. The appeal guidance form reccommends to send the appeal online, to save time and to avoid delays. However m...
It would be better if you kept your posts in one thread. It is standard practice for them to retain the originals during the appeal process. My apologies - I will keep one thread next time. So do they just pick and choose documents they want to keep? Even though the documents they have kept have no...
As mentioned in previous posts, my husband's spouse visa has been rejected. We are now preparing for an appeal. However I have just realised that the UKBA have not sent me back all my documents. All my proof such as phone bills, emails etc are missing and the most important thing - all my proofs of ...
Hi all, Over a week ago my husband received a refusal for his settlement visa application. We are now looking to appeal the decision. I have a few questions that I am still very unsure about. I have seen at least four different solicitors, all of whom have given me conflicting advice. To be honest I...
Can anyone help with what I need to send as proof of registration with HMRC? I spoke to HMRC today and they said they do not send out any such certificate or document as proof of registration. They told me my UTR number is proof of self-employment. However UKBA insist on some other sort of documenta...
Hannah - the issue you've got is that the rules are now explicit about the evidence they want. So if you don't have your registration certificate - you need to get a copy from HMRC. In terms of the accounts - did you actually send a copy of the SA form and the appropriate statement of account from ...
Hello hanah its sad to hear that ur application was refused my husband also self employed as sole trader his annual income exceed 18.600 £ i submitted : 1/ statement of income and expenditure for the year ended 5 April 2012 2/ self assessment - tax calculation for 2011/2012 year ended 5 April 2012 ...
If you can provide the necessary proof that satisfy the reasons for refusal, there is every possibility of getting the ECM review to overturn the decision. Thank you, that is what we are hoping for. For this to go to Court would really be devastating because I have been told that it can take 6 mont...
Hi all, My husband's spouse visa has been refused, we applied under the new rules and they refused us on two points, one which seems pretty baseless to me. We were supposed to apply before the rule changes came into effect but we were not given an appointment in time and so had to apply after the ch...
Lucapooka - thank you for your reply. I agree with you, the idiots at VAC are not only useless but a total bunch of morons. They do not even bother to listen to your query and indeed muster up bogus information to get rid of you. Where is one to go for help in such a situaton? The UKBA take such ext...
Hi all, On the 02/07/2012 we completed and submitted form VAF4 online. This is for a settlement visa for my husband, who is currently in India. We were given an appointment date for 09/07/2012. We accepted the appintment, but an important document was missing so we changed the appintment and the nex...
boboochoupie - thanks, now I know that I definetly do need to submit the copies. Can you tell me when you say you submitted copies of every document do you mean even your sponsorship letter and even things like emails and letters from family and friends, mobile phone bills etc?
LoveMybaby786 - thanks for that.
So the copies your solicitor made, did you submit all of these along with the originals, or were these copies made for your own reference to keep?
I ask because I was told to copy every single thing too but keep that for my own records in case they lose something.
