Child extension visa?which form to use? please help

Post by malfayez » Sun Apr 26, 2015 5:53 pm

Dear All

I was granted ILR April 2012, my older daughter and my wife were abroad at that time.

Both had valid Teir 1 dependant visa at the time , my seconds daughter was born in May 2012. I applied for all of them for Visa as dependant of settled person and they have been granted visas from sep 2012 untile may 2015.

I was granted British citizenship in May 2013

Now, I am going to extend their stay. I take it for my wife, I should FLR(m), what about my two children ? which form should I use for them?

Please advise me? I have been in home office website for days, but I could not find the appropriate form

Many thanks

Include them as dependents on FLR(M) form, wife as main applicant and children under 18 details in Section 4 of the same form.

You will also have to pay the NHS surcharge for all of them @ £200 per person per year payable upfront at the point of application
(£200pa X 2.5 years visa = £500 per person) on top of the visa application fee.

1. Where was your youngest child born?
2. Did you spouse and child have valid leave as a PBS dep when they switched to spouse leave?
3. Did you apply for FLR(M) in the UK or VAF from aboard? If in the UK what wS the exact date you applied?
4. How many months leave were they granted leave for?

Thanks, that is a great relief. very unusual for the home office, not to make application process very complicated

Luckily, I booked my premium appointment before they introduce NHS charges. :D ( that the only things which kept me happy during this application process)
Thanks again

It's a shame they didn't return to the UK and extend as PBS applicants assuming you were granted ILR as a PBS applicant.
