Oct 2011: I got ILR based on 5 years stay in UK. Started with HSMP -> Tier 1 General and then ILR. Aug 2012: Applied visa for Wife and Son using Family Settlement Application Form (VAF4A). She received SPOUSE/CP Visa(33Months) Nov 2012: Both Wife and Son came to UK. Jun 2013: I got my UK Citizenship...

This might sound a silly question. In the form FLR(M), I am confused between the below two options: 1)First period of leave to remain (following an initial period of entry clearance as a partner of a settled person, or following an initial period of entry clearance as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil p...

Thanks CR001 for confirming it. I'll get the paper work started to apply for FLR(M). Waiting for the UKVI response seems pointless with all the consistent response from you, Obie and Vinny. I really appreciate the noble service offered by you all in this forum. Also I am digging deeper into my pocke...

Hi CR001, Obie, I checked the Visa details more clearly this time. It starts from 11-Oct-2012 and ends on 11-Jul-2015. A clear 33 months. My sincere apologies for gross miscalculation from my end. From the response CR001 and Obie gave, I take it that no changes since 11-Oct-2012 to date prevents the...

Hi Vinny, Thank you very much for the clarification. Going through the documentation, even I am inclined to go for FLR(M). Since getting the Visa extension is really crucial to continue with the family life, I am being very cautious to ensure I get this process absolutely right. I called up the UKVI...

Hi Damanisshallo, Thank you very much for your views. The response makes complete sense. My wife's first visa(Tier 1 General dependent) was completely valid till its end date (Jan 2013) even though my visa status moved to the next level (i.e. ILR obtained on Oct 2011). She had to apply for new Visa ...

Hi, Firstly, my sincere apologies if this question sounds like a repetition to a millionth time. I did try and go through the FAQs. Many of them were "Kind of" similar scenarios. However, my situation is not exactly identical. There is a subtle difference in it which I suspect could be key...
