Re: FLR(M) questions

You will need to show evidence of your annual income. Did you file tax returns? If you did annual tax returns, I believe the total income you have in the tax returns should serve as proof for you. Regarding the residents in your home. I think you should make sure you have evidence to prove that you ...

Re: Wife - Refused Indefinit Leave to Remain

Applicant - original passport if you are NOT using the new UKCVAS service. British spouse - copy of the passport is sufficient if you are not using the new UKCVAS service. Thanks. I've submitted the online application a few minutes ago. I searched and see the answer for the above. Please, to avoid ...

Re: Wife - Refused Indefinit Leave to Remain

She didn't need evidence of English to enter the UK. She got the B1 certificate when she applied for ILR but the application was refused because I used the wrong form and she was instead granted a FLR as the spouse of someone settled in the UK.

Thanks for your time. Greatly appreciated.
It's B1 certificate from Trinity College. I just checked the link you supplied and it's still in the list of recognised tests.

Re: Wife - Refused Indefinit Leave to Remain

Hi, I have finished filling the form. I reverted to the FLR(M) form. However, I just noticed that my wife's English Language Trinity College Certificate is over 2 years old. Please will this be an issue? I met the financial requirements.

Re: Wife - Refused Indefinit Leave to Remain

Thanks so much. I appreciate your time and help. To avoid the initial painful mistake of applying with the wrong form, can I still use the SET(M) to apply for further leave to remain as a FM? Set M is only for ILR. For visa extension it is either FLR(M) or FLR(FP). Think the latter in your case. Pl...

Re: Wife - Refused Indefinit Leave to Remain

Finally, can I say that the best option is to apply for FLR as a spouse (dependant of someone settled in the UK) and after one year (clocking 10 years in the UK), we can then apply for the ILR on the 10 year route? Yes, provided she meets all the requirements for ILR based on 10 years long residenc...

Re: Wife - Refused Indefinit Leave to Remain

Her application was sent on the 11th March (Friday) but seem it didn't get t them until the 14th (Monday). The Home office would be unreasonably harsh in my opinion should they use this against her application. The ILR refusal was on the 31st August 2016 while Leave to Remain was granted same day t...

Re: Wife - Refused Indefinit Leave to Remain

Yes please. Is this a problem seeing there was no gap in between 13th & 14th? It isn't about a gap, it is the fact she applied after her visa expired. If she is now on the 10 year path, hope it is not counting from zero ( should this therefore include her last 9 years in the UK)? For 10 long re...

Re: Wife - Refused Indefinit Leave to Remain

Did her last tier 2 dependent visa expire on 13th March and you only applied for ILR on 14th, after the visa had expired?? By being granted leave to remain she is now on the 10 year path, 120 months, as the letter states. Her clock for ILR based on 5 years residence reset to zero. However, my first...

Re: Wife - Refused Indefinit Leave to Remain

So presumably, she applied for ILR on form SET(M) because you held ILR or are British, even though she held a PBS Dependent visa, correct?? Why did you not apply on form SET(O) if she held a PBS Dependent visa?? What is her full 9 year UK immigration history?? Yes, you are right. I was ignorant and...

Re: Wife - Refused Indefinit Leave to Remain

What was the reason for the refusal? What is your wife's immigration history? Unfortunately if an application if refused, the fee is lost, you do not get any of it back. After her application was refused, I appealed for a review through my MP and the Home office gave the following reasons for their...

Wife - Refused Indefinit Leave to Remain

Hi, My wife's indefinite leave to remain application was denied with no real obvious reasons but was rather given a Further Leave to Remain for 2 1/2 years. However, The HO collected the full amount of the indefinite leave to remain and we still paid an extra £500 for the IHS charge. In the letter t...
