List of documents required for FLR for spouse UK

[Adam_Ahmed786]

My Wife came to UK from Pakistan as I earned an Income of £21,000 a year she was given a Visa after 2 months and 3 weeks thankfully. Now in order for me to prepare for the coming years I wanted to know what the documents required for FLR. Also I had more questions such as :

1. My Wife did an English Test in Pakistan (City & Guilds ) A1 ESOL Speaking Listening and Reading, now when I come towards FLR does she need to do another test?

2. My wife has her passport and Biometric Resident Permit how am I suppose to get any other form of I.D in order to register her for a local GP?

Thanks guys for answering my questions

1. My Wife did an English Test in Pakistan (City & Guilds ) A1 ESOL Speaking Listening and Reading, now when I come towards FLR does she need to do another test? Not for FLR

2. My wife has her passport and Biometric Resident Permit how am I suppose to get any other form of I.D in order to register her for a local GP? You don't need any other form of identity for GP registration.

Thanks guys for answering my questions

Here's a link to the guide for FLR(M). Read through and come back with any specific questions.

2. Besides the passport and BRP card, she will need proof of address. If she doesn't have anything in her name, you will need to write a letter and provide a recent proof of address in your name (speaking from experience working for a GP surgery)

I did already look at that it didnt answer my question though. can somebody please help it stated on there that
"If you sat a test on or after 6th April 2015 you do not need to provide any documentary evidence
of your test with your application. Instead, you should provide your SELT unique electronic
reference number, provided by the awarding body". My wife did the test January 2015 so does that mean coming to FLR (m) will she have to do another test?

[Adam_Ahmed786]

Thank you CR001,

SO What sort of letter would I need to write/ use in order to state my wife lives with me at my address seen as she only has her passport and BRP?

[CR001]

To Whom It May Concern :

This serves to confirm that Mrs Full Name Middle Name Surname, date of birth 1/2/1900 and passport number ABC123 is my wife and arrived in the UK on 3/4/2014. She is living with me at address : 123 One Street, Town, AB1 2CD and has done so since arriving in the UK.

She does not currently have any correspondence in her name but I have included my most recent (bank statement, credit card statement, utility bill, etc) for confirmation.

Please feel free to contact me should you require any additional information.

Yours sincerely,

Mr X Y Z

This is of course assuming that she is registering at the same GP surgery where you are registered. You would do well to fully read the FLR(M) form as if she has nothing on her name at your address, she will face problems proving cohabitation when extending her visa etc.

I believe that Council Tax is one of the quickest options to add a name to an account.

[CR001]

Her test is likely only acceptable until 5th November 2015 and she will need another test for extension.

Page 62 of the FLR (M) Form (Click) lists the types of documents HO expect to be submitted.

Hi,

My wife finally got her visa in July 2015 and she did the English Test of A1 City & Guilds Reading, Listening, Speaking in JANUARY 2015. Now in order for me to slowly prepare for FLR after 2.5 years which English Test will my wife have to do as I know its only valid for short time. Please dont paste website links to different Tests just tell me the name of the test she needs to do as she did her test before 6 April 2015 due to a new rule put in place? What is the Name of the test please.

If the test your wife did is still in the acceptable test table then even if it has been expired you can still use it. Only condition is she has to use it in her previous (or first application in your case) application and that application has to be a successful one. I rang home office regarding this matter because my wife is in the same situation and they confirmed she can use it.

My wife did the test named: A1 CITY & GUILDS SPEAKING LISTENING AND WRITING. She did it in Jan 2015 so she wouldnt need to do another english test?
