LEAVE TO REMAIN 5 YEAR ROUTE SWITCH

[beemer]

Good morning

I was granted leave to remain on the 10 year route as a parent of a british child and upon its expiry, I have made an application to switch to the 5 year route as a parent on the relationship with the child. I applied with my SERT English test certificate and my gross earnings which is over the 18500 k limit. I received an acknowledgement letter recently stating; YOUR APPLICATION RAISES ISSUES RELATING TO THE EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS WHICH IS COMPLEX IN NATURE. AS SUCH IT FALLS OUTSIDE OUR NORMAL SERVICE STANDARDS ON DECIDING LEAVE TO REMAIN APPLICATIONS. PLEASE BE ASSURED THAT WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. Please can someone help to interpret this statement since I am finding it difficult to understand. Thanks

It is a standard reply, many applicants get the same message. It means HO might take longer than published timeframes to process your application.

hi beemer, iam actually looking to do the samething. but apparently u don't necessarily have to wait till its expiry date. that is, ucan do it anytime from when its issued provided u meet the requirements.
Also croo1 please can u confirm for me if u actually need to meet a threshold of £18.6k cos ithought this requirement was for married couples on flr(M) only. thankyou.

As far as I am aware, FLR(FP) does not need the financial requirement.
