Hi there John, Yes she can apply for the second leave to remain (FLR (M)) - in fact, that is the expectation. Your son and daughter-in-law can apply 28 days before the 2.5 year anniversary of their arrival in the UK. They will need more or less the same documentation as they did for their initial FL...
Yes, apologies, I take it back. I've just re-read Appendix FM, and there are actually no income thresholds mentioned at all for ILR. The applicant must just "have completed a continuous period of at least 60 months with limited leave as a partner under paragraph R-LTRP.1.1.(a) to (c)" and ...
There is already a minimum earnings threshold. It is £18,600 and more if there are children. This was introduced in July 2012 and this financial requirement has to be met at each stage of the process (2 x visas and ILR). As far as I can see, they haven't yet produced a SET (M) for for those of us w...
It does seem reasonably likely that they will introduce a minimum earnings threshold for Family route Settlement at some stage, given the current government's form in other areas of immigration, but given that people applying under the new (2012) FLR M route won't be eligible for Settlement until 20...
It is worth noting that the Tories 'strongly argued' for the income threshold to be £40,000 when they were in coalition, but the LibDems negotiated it down to the 18,600 we have today. (Source: http://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2013/jul/12/sarah-teather-angry-voices-immigration ) With a fairly ...
Hi there, We're about to apply for our second FLR (M) and it has occurred to us that at the expiry of this second 30 months, we may fall short of the full 5 years required for Settlement (ILR). This depends on when we make the application, and how long they take to make their decision, obviously (!)...
That will really depend on whether or not he wants to travel. Given that he is not eligible for a British passport, the only way he will be able to travel is on a Pakistani passport. Theoretically - and maybe someone will correct me here - future applications to the UKBA can be made with a letter fr...
Signed too, and I'm sharing this on my facebook etc. My friends are getting pretty sick of my rambling on, I think, but they all duly do what they are told when I wheel out petitions etc
Has everyone signed this one on the government epetitions site, too?
Hello bsvs, You should have no problem at all. My CP had his BRP checked in Zimbabwe and all they did was compare his BRP and passport, and check the dates on the BRP. There was no scanning of the BRP, and although they did scan his passport, it didn't show anything about his residence or relationsh...
