FLRM few questions

[stitaprajna]

I am applying for FLR M in few weeks and need help in filling the form.

My wife is now British Citizen and my kid also is a British citizen.

1. In 'Section 4 - Dependent children' it says 'In In this section you must include any dependants that are applying with you'. Though I have a kid, he does not need any visa so he is not applying with me. Hence I am leaving this section blank. Is this fine?

2. In 'Section 7A - Financial requirement' it says '7.2 What is the financial requirement you are required to meet'. Which one of the below I should select here:

• Applying with no child dependant
  Applying with ONE child dependant

Though we have a kid, since he is not applying and he is British, I guess I should select "Applying with no child dependant".

Thanks in advance.

My sponsor visa history is :
First visit mult-entry (don't know what is this called)
 Then visa post graduate professional (don't know what is this called)
 Then HSMP
 Then Tier 1

Please help what to answer for

6.9 If relevant, have you lived together permanently in the UK with your sponsor since your last grant of limited leave to remain as a partner

Yes
No/Please provide details of any periods when you have not lived with your sponsor since your last grant of limited leave to remain and any reasons why you have not done so.

My situation is:
After marriage in my home country, we were together there and my sponsor came back to UK. I then applied for Spouse visa and joined her after few months. Then I had to go back to join work. After 3 months, I again came to uk and started working here. We have been living together in UK since then except:
- when my sponsor alone visited home country
- and then now on maternity leave for last few months.

Please help.

I am applying for FLR M and need help on 6.11:

6.11 Have you ever lived with your sponsor within or outside of the UK?
Yes No If yes please provide details of when and where you previously lived
with your sponsor

My situation is, I have lived with my wife in my home country and in UK and on various dates and to provide the complete date-wise list is very complicated.
There are times we visited different countries on work and personal travel and were together or alone on various dates. To hunt these dates and put it accurately is really tedious.

Please suggest.

This is not a question but a comment.

I have been filling the FLR M application form and it feels like this is the most complicated, confusing, irritating application form in any category in the entire world. Is this a deliberate attempt to trouble applicants and make them sweat it out for no reason and may be to force them to approach the immigration lawyer?

I guess if others also put in their thoughts here, hopefully it will be simplified someday !!

I doubt that the HO are particularly interested in our comments on the forum. They are historically known for being inept at producing coherent application forms. The new NHS surcharge system is a prime example,
What in particular are you stuck on?

I have been doing a practice run on the form for later this year. When I read through it, it seemed complicated but when I actually started filling it in, it was not so bad.

I thought it helps the forum users if we ask each question separately as there will be focus on one question though it is convenient for me to ask in one question.
Apologies if I violated the forum guidelines, I will ask the future questions to the existing ones.

No, it does not help 'the forum users' if you post each question as a new topic as you can end up with 5 threads of mostly the same questions/answers eventually. It clutters up the forum.
