You asked in an earlier post about accommodation. If you are living in a room in a shared house you will need to prove that this isn't considered as inadequate and overcrowded. If depends on how many rooms and how many others are living there. Does the family who are renting you the room own the property?
dear casa ,

i will be moving from this property before i aplly i am looking for a new place since i have given a notice..

i will look for a place which provides a tenancy agreement . my current landlords are famiky friends and it was more of a casual verbal agreement

Can you not find a Tier 2 work sponsor? After ten years as a student you must be highly educated by now and able to find some role in research or something?

Worth a punt.....

Yea, I have the same problem. I operate in black and white world / right and wrong. No shades of grey at all. Plus I am a lousy liar so wouldn't be useful as a lawyer :wink:

gurus , I was also contemplating whether my wife can be granted an flr fp leave once i get IlR ,hopefully.
if a settled person cant meet the financial requirements , csn their partners get the visa on flr fp basis... .since then a settled person can produce their biometric permit to the h.o holding their spouse's case ..

if yes .. how long would that visa be for...

in terms of language requirement , can a naric certificate for my wife be an ample evidence or would she require to undertake the basic test from trinity etc..

thanks a ton

She would need to be in the UK to submit an FLR(FP). It cannot be done from outside the UK.

FLR(FP) is a 10 year route to ILR as a partner (4 X 2.5 year visas). Immigration health surcharge of £500 plus the fee (which goes up by roughly 25% in April) is payable.

thanks , considering she stays in U.k which is highlly probable . she could be granted the 1 st 2.5 year visa.... thats a good news .
the fees is a killer ..

Her problem will be that if you're fortunate and are granted ILR, by that time her visa will have expired and she will have no valid leave.

but she would be applying flr fp with me and then considering theres no reply till i get ILR , i can simply send my biometrics to the address as an added evidence with a new cover letter ... ??
she would have an flr fp pending , which shant render hers invalid.. correct me if I am wrong please.

also if she is refused flr fp i would be too right ? because its the same form we are applying through..
or will her application be decided seperately than mine ?

if God forbid . a refusal comes in for both of us , we will have 28 days,
and if with in those 28 days i reach the time period i need i can apply for IlR and a new flr fp for her ???
and upon decision on my case, since i will be using window , which i am praying will be a quick positive reply.
can i then send my ilr as an added pivitol evidence for her to be granted flr fp ...

thanks for clarifying that a dependant of settled person can get
visa even if they dont meet the finances. I know that later when swirching to flr M the clock starts from zero .. ??

Moderators don't necessarily have any more knowledge that other members...and they will respond if they have relevant advice to give you. I'm afraid I don't.
