Hi Shahjee,

Did you write a covering letter with your ILR (LR) application ?

If so, could you please share the same.

Thanks,
die_hard

[Mrs.P]

Hi guys, I called HO, the advisor said that they have sent a letter to my solicitors dated 30th July, its been 7 days, I called the solicitors they said they will get back to me, I am panicking now, they normally send you a letter to request more information or something or refusal, what do you think. Thanks for any input.

Hi die_hard,
No I didn't write any covering letter with my ILR(LR) application, but the most you could write about is to give them a bird eye view about all your visa history and the documents that you are sending with your application. I hope it helps.

Hi Shahjee
Is marriage certificate a must for FLR M?

[poe2014]

Hi members,

I just got ILR few days ago, and I am preparing FLR (M) visa for my wife. My wife got her dependent visa after 07/2012. I understand we will have to meet the financial requirements.
However, we have a bit complex situation here. Can anyone advise please?

My wife has been working for more than 6 months and her annual salary is slightly below £18,600. I have been a full time PhD student for the past 4 years. I did some part-time for the university in the past few months. I want to know if my part time income is counted as ‘salaried income’? Can we combine these two incomes when applying for FLR(M)?

As we plan to move in September to another city for my new job. My wife will resign her job and move with me. Her current employer might not issue the letter to HO, say she is still employed by them.
In this case, can we wait till I start my new job and apply for her visa using my new contract? I understand if so, my employment will be less than 6 months, and we will still need to provide HO with the past 6 months’ income.

Do we have to change her dependent visa to FLR(M) within 28 days?
I read the guide. It only says must change before going abroad and need to change before the expiry date on the current visa.

Thanks in advance for your help. (Btw, should we create a separate discussion on this topic?)

Hi Mrs.P,
I hope it is good news for you. Looking at the timeline we were expecting good news from you last week, and as you said that they send it out on the 30th of July, which makes it almost 5 working days already. Your Solicitor have definitely received it, but for them not to contact you is a bit strange. These solicitors charge all that money, and when it comes to the services than they are legging behind every one. Hate their attitude, hence I believe in a no solicitor policy, I understand that with your situation you didn't have the choice at that time when you applied.
My best wishes with you, and I hope you can give us the good news soon.
Kind regards

Hi Shahjee
Is marriage certificate a must for FLR M?

Hi joanie,
I would say that it is very important to have the marriage certificate, as being a married couple your whole case is based on it. But on the actual FLR(M) form it is a bit ambiguous if you check on page 60 it says and I quote
12B Spouses and civil partners
If you are applying for a first extension of stay as a spouse or civil partner, in addition to the relevant documents in sub-section 12A, you must provide the following documents:
Your civil marriage certificate or civil partnership certificate
so they saying that if you are applying for the first extension of stay as a spouse or civil partner, than provide the marriage certificate, in most of our cases our dependents have already been on PBS dependents status already, and that is not their first time to apply as dependents, so what shell we assume.
So I would suggest that if it's there than it's better to attach that, but if not there than ..... Make your mind looking at the above mentioned. May be other seniors members will give us their valuable feedback on this issue.
Kind regards
Shahjee

Hi cool mind,
Yes you are spot on, if it's payslips, or letters from NHS or any other letters just write how many in numbers like 123456, and if bank statements than it's better mention in months, as you know some times bank statements can be on more than one page, and in the mean while you also want to let the case worker know that you have already attached 12 months worth of bank statements.
I hope it helps mate.

Hi die_hard,
You are open to apply after the 14th of August 2014. So you can apply any time after that.
Not many days to go so brace up, get ready, do your home work, making sure get the latest version of SET(LR) and latest photos, attaching all your previous passports, and BRP card, life in UK result, and English language certificate or if you have degree from UK university than even better.
My prayers and best wishes with you.
Kind regards
Shahjee

[die_hard]

Thanks for your wishes Shahjee.

The 28 period would be completed on 11th August itself. Can't I apply on 12th August ?

Hey guys, I got a letter from HO requesting my original documents, which is with them since September 2012, how can a government agency suck so much. I will have to get the letter from my solicitor's tomorrow and see what they are asking.

Migrant80,please help me, how long after you wrote to them saying that your original documents were with them, did they grant your visa, and did you just tell them that they are holding your documents, and were they ok with it. Many Thanks.

Hi poe2014,
Regards to your part time income, yes you can combine that with that of your Mrs. It is actually the house hold income that matters, so you and your Mrs together.
Regard to your Mrs employer might not issuing a letter in regards to her in employment at the time of her application, what you are providing the Home Office is evidence of her previous earning, and that is what is important, not that she is presently with that employer. She could provide her previous payslips with her bank statements, and if possible a letter from the employer that she was paid those payslips on what ever date. This is a pretty basic thing that every employer in UK is bound to provide to their employee, so make sure that you guys are diplomatic enough to get the letter from her employer, otherwise payslips and bank statements will be enough.
Regards to changing the dependents visa within 28 days of main sponsor getting their ILR, I agree with you, I have certainly not read it any where regards to that 28 days rule, so I would say that it's a self created rule by concerned members. You guys are good to go. All the best with your Mrs application.
Kind regards
Shahjee

Shahjee, my understanding after reading the gazillion of Appendixes FM, Section 8 and Guidance notes etc is that we previously came on PBS dependent visas whereby the term to be noted is dependent .

For first extension of stay using FLR M the term used is spouse or partner which UKVI defines as Spouse or partner of person present and settled.

Hence marriage certificate is a must.

For those who have misplaced their marriage certificate, u can get it reissued from the council where it was registered. For marriages registered abroad, UKVI does accept true translation copies which have been attested. I have submitted the same (true translation of the certificate attested by Ministry of Foreign Affairs) for all my successful applications so I'm sure of it.

We should create a separate thread for 'FLR M where spouse has ILR (LR) ' application related queries
