Hi Guys, I have indefinite leave to remain as a spouse to a British Citizen. We recently came back to the UK after a holiday abroad. We landed at Heathrow. Upon showing my ILR Card to the Border Force, he said there was a red flag, something about financials, and gave me form IS.81, which informs me...

Application for ILR Route : SET(M) Date application sent : 12/12/21 Application type : Super Priority Docs uploaded to UKVCAS portal: 12/12/2021 Date Biometrics Enrolled : 14/12/2021 (Croydon) Approval Email received on: 14/12/2021 BRP Card: NA Still no communication from TNT or Home Office regardin...

That's lucky then, 2 days after application and submitting documents via UKVCAS, and still not found any biometric appointment availability, despite checking throughout the day and especially at the alleged "midnight" and "9am" releases.

I checked all day - no change yet. I will check again tomorrow. My current leave expires on 15th January 2022, what happens if I cannot get a biometrics appointment until after this date? Even though I chose super priority, would I be considered an overstayer and would any date after 15th January af...

Yes, I saw that, I have just logged back in at 9am, refreshed a few times, and nothing has changed. Still nothing available. I have checked about 10 centres, even random ones far away from me. Nothing was released.

Thanks guys. Well finally the priority option came up, so I chose it. But now I need to make a biometric appointment via UKVCAS and there is no availability in any centres! The only availability I found was the chargeable appointment at the London premium lounge on 4th January? Seems a shame to have...

Thanks for your input KVP. Please let me know how your biometrics went today.

I think I am ready to submit, I am just not seeing the super priority service option which I would like to chose, only standard?

Do you mean the pieces of correspondence to evidence we live together? I guess that is the only documentation that could be "shared". Well, in fact, we are giving individual pieces of correspondence as we do not have any correspondence in joint names, would we still need part two signing b...

Ah, one more thing that you may be able to assist with before I submit my ILR application. On my last Spouse visa extension application I had to provide Part 1 (Consent for the Home Office to verify application information) and also Part 3 consent (Consent for the Home Office to verify information f...

Thanks for that, it now makes more sense. So we shall not add our baby on the ILR application as a dependent child, and it will just be one applicant.

Thanks for your reply Zimba. I always thought the HO meant dependant as in the child is dependant on its parents, I didn't think it meant dependant as in their immigration status depends on the main applicant. I have searched for this tirelessly but cannot find any specific guidance on this where it...

Hi Guys, ILR - 5 Year Route, I have a British husband and a baby son who has just turned 1 years old. On the additional applicants section, the only option I have on the drop down list is "dependent child". As my son was born here in the UK, has a British birth certificate and a British pa...

Any help guys??

My FLR(M) Extension application has just been refused. Most requirements have been met (Relationship, Immigration Status, Financial and English Language Requirements), However it was refused for two reasons; 1. Suitability 2. EX.1 Requirement - insurmountable obstacles. For “ Suitability ”, the refu...

Nearing the end of the application form online now and it is showing a checklist of documents - including; Payslips covering a period of 6 months prior to the date of application ! The issue is we must follow appendix fm-se paragraph 9 which states we must show payslips for 12 months period covering...

Applying for FLR(M) online. I will be relying on my husbands finances, he is a Director of a UK Company so we fall under Appendix FM-SE paragraph 9.

Currently going through the online FLR(M) Spouse extension, and have a question; Time lived in the UK How long have you lived in the UK? Years/Months. I have "lived" on and off in the UK since 2011 when I was a tier 4 student, but throughout 2011-2015 had various visa changes/issues (inclu...

Yes, I am looking for the answer to this too. Can the documents be scanned first and uploaded during the online application? Or uploaded after? i.e no need to scan at the appointment centre? If so, can they be scanned as one document (one pdf file) rather than a separate file for each type of docume...

Thanks for the helpful reply. The issue we may have is that after July 2018, he took no salary (in order to assist the companies cashflow), so he cannot provide further payslips/statements. etc. However, Appendix FM-SE 9(e) states; "(e) For the purposes of paragraph 19(a), evidence of ongoing e...

Hi Again, We have decided that my husband will supply his payslips/bank statements as his covers "the same 12-month period as the CT600 tax return", however; Must he also provide his previous recent 6 month payslips/bank statements, or only the 12 months period matching the CT600 return?? ...

I am employed at my husbands company and must therefore follow paragraph 9 of Appendix FM-SE. paragrpah 9. (c) is difficult, because it says our payslips and bank statements must be covering the same 12-month period as the Company Tax Return CT600. Ok, but my husbands company was only established in...

(c) is difficult, because it says our payslips and bank statements must be covering the same 12-month period as the Company Tax Return CT600. Ok, but my husbands...

As part of my FLR(M) extension I need to submit company documents in line with Appendix FM-SE paragraph 9(b)-(e). But I have an issue regarding dates. The company which employs me, owned by my husband, was only established in July 2017. It submitted its first set of accounts in April 2019 for the pe...

Following comments on other forums, it seems that I will need to follow 9(b)-(e) and submit my partners company documents. Considering this, how best to submit such company documents? Would it be best to have the companies accountant write a covering letter and enclose them? One more question, who s...
