Izhar- you are welcome to the forum. From what you said it seems you applied on private and family life relying on article 8. The application is just for you and it seems your wife is British. In my own opinion it doesn't matter but it could help to show that you have someone who is supporting you financial.
If there is any need for bank details or payslips surely they will ask you for additional documents
Keep praying the God is on your side.

Hello everyone, hope u all are doing great? Please I wanna ask a quick question.

Someone received a letter from the home office by recorded delivery from Liverpool, which says they are reviewing the person's case after they've been refused since last year and the person had a judicial review hearing about two weeks ago even though the judgement is not out yet.
In the letter they requested for 2 passport sized photo, evidence of current address, evidence of finances, details of children in the UK and they also included an immigration status questionnaire.
Please what does it mean and has anyone received such a letter before and does it really mean they are reconsidering the person. Thank u

I have applied ILR on Set (LR) and for my Mrs FLR (FP) because at the time of her application I wasn't able to meet the financial requirement of £ 18600. However I will be able to meet this requirement till April next year. My questions are:

1- What are her chances gaining visa on FLR (FP) after my ILR?

2- Is it possible to get spouse visa on FLR (M) after successfully obtaining FLR (FP) visa. Or in other words can FLR (FP) visa convert into FLR (M) spouse visa later on (consider meeting all the requirements of FLR (M))?

3- In case they refuse her FLR (FP) application and we launch an appeal; what are the chances to vary FLR (FP) application into spouse visa on FLR (M) application during appeal process on 3D leave.

Hiya everyone.

I have joined the forum not long ago although I have been a silent follower.
my lawyer call me yesterday to let me know that I have been granted.
He said to me that the brp is valid until May 2016. I was very surprised because it's not even up to two years. I asked him if they have made a mistake he said he couldn't say yes or no. But I know everyone here has been granted 30mnts not 18.
I will only gonna be able to see my brp and approval letter next week.
Anyone has ever got leave to remain less than 30mnts under flr fp if so did you request the ukba to change the dates.

Thanks

Good afternoon, my friends and other board members, i will be grateful and glad if someone can help with my query,i am a silent member of this forum but i need urgent help concerning my FLR(FP) based on 7year rule/private life which was refused recently without right of appeal. We are planning to go for judicial review. We applied as a couple ,two of my children have leaved continously in UK for more than 7 years as at the time the application was submitted. Do we have a winning case if proceed on judicial review because it seems most people on these forum got their visa after going through judicial review?
many thanks,your urgent reply will highly be appreciated

Hello Ems1927, I am surprised they are yet to respond, is it possible that you/solicitor give them a call?

@bsmith AMEN !!!
