My sister-in-law will submit her second 30 month extension for FLR(FP). Nothing in respect of her application has changed since the previous application. She lives with her naturalised British husband and their 9 year-old son. They are using a solicitor to help her submit the application. Can anyone...

You should seek legal assistance if experiencing difficulty. Certain section of the form does not apply to you , as the form covers different categories of cases. I have concluded that I need some professional assistance to complete this form. Can someone recommend where I might get this from? I li...

My sister-in-law is shortly to apply for her first extension i.e 2.5 years ago she was granted leave within the immigration rules under EX.1 of Appendix FM. In order to qualify for settlement you must have completed a continuous period of at least 10 years in the UK on limited leave granted because ...

I was clearly having a senior moment.

Is the requirement to demonstrate the ability to speak and understand English needed for a further leave to remain or at the point of applying for settlement?

Thanks

English Language Requirement The form states - if you are applying for an extension of leave on the basis of family life as a parent of a child in the UK, you need to show that they can speak and understand English. Can I confirm that the requirement is to show that the child speaks and understands...

@Obie - thank you for your reply. I am trying to avoid my sister-in-law incurring unnecessary legal costs by assisting her to complete the necessary form. It's just that some things on the form seem to contradict themselves, hence seeking clarification on here first.

Thanks again

I have an additional question about her application in section 5 - finances Her partner has access to public funds (child benefit, working tax credit) so I have answered yes to question 5.9. Below this question it ask which funds are being received if you have answered yes to question 5.6. If she is...

@kingpin2015 looking in a little more detail the form states If you are applying on the basis of your family life as as the parent of a child in the UK on the 10 year route… I think this is the section that is relevant to my sister-in-law, she is not applying as a single parent of a child in the UK....

Thanks for your reply. Can I ask what peo stands for? (sorry if it's obvious)

@Obie - thank you for your reply and confirming that FLR(FM) seems to be the correct form.

Casa - thank you for your reply. I have just been looking at the guidance notes for FLR(O) and it says; You must not use this form • To make an application for Further leave to remain under Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules as a partner (10-year route), or a parent (5 year & 10 year routes), ...

Thanks for the replies and advice. My partner will try and progress this with his employer tomorrow.

Yes, he presented the picture page of both passports. I'm sure the employer is wrong but wondered if there was some definitive guidance or whether there were some updated regulations. Is there any benefit of applying for the NTL residence card?

My Partner has ILR. His visa in an old passport, when he goes through customs he presents both his old and new passport together and there has never been any issue. This week he started a new job and the HR department say there is a problem because the visa is not in his current passport, they have ...

I assume because her husband only had ILR. She was an overstayer at the time.

Your replies are much appreciated. I need to do undertake some research into the FLR(M) on their behalf.

Could there be any risks in submitting a new application?

Thanks again Amber. When does the 5 years start? Does the period served under the current visa qualify?

Thank you Amber, I will help them investigate the FLR(M) route. Do you know if that is something she c/should do now or do it at the point her current visa expires?

Thank you for your responses. I understand that the visa was granted as family life leave. On this basis reading your replies it is a 10 year route to qualification. Would the fact that her husband is now a British citizen change anything?

Thanks for your responses - it is truly appreciated.

Thank you, yes her initial LLR visa was for 2.5 years and expires in April 2015. So if I understand correctly she will need a further three visa before being eligible for ILR.

I thought that with her husband now a British citizen this might reduce the qualifying period.
