Hello respected members
I am back with few more queries and would really appreciate your help. I got my ILR granted through 10 years long residency. Now preparing for my wife’s dependant application, which I believe will be using the FLR (M) application form.
Query 1: I am trying to calculate the NHS surcharge for my wife. Which options should I select please?
1. What visa route do I select: Further leave to remain -FLR or Further leave to remain Other FLR (O)?
2. If the route is further leave to remain – FLR, then which visa type do I select - Long residence FLR (LR) or Marriage FLR (M)?
Query 2: My wife has been in the UK on Student visa over past 6 years, during this period she changed few colleges. But, she didn’t notice to notify the Home Office about the changes as she assumed the college normally does that. However, after we got married, she visited back home for the first time since she came in the UK. On our way back during last december, she got stopped at Heathrow and was asked few questions, repeatedly about if she finished her degree (that she originally applied for to study – she didn’t continue that degree but instead completed another course at another college), if there is any gap in between her visa extensions etc. They asked her why she didn’t notify about the course changes and she said that she guessed it was the college’s responsibility. They stopped her and took inside for further checks but let her out in 5 minutes. They didn’t ask her any further questions or anything.
Now, I am a bit worried if this is going to be a problem/ could this be an issue to worry about when she makes her FLR (M) application this month? Should she go for in person application or just post the application.
I would very much appreciate your time and valuable opinion on the above queries please.
Regards
Ali
