FLR M Extension absences

Post by KASHIF830 » Mon Nov 14, 2016 8:31 am

Hi Senior Members

Could you please tell me if anyone wants to extend FLR M for 2.5 years again so how many absences are allowed out side UK. 1st FLR M was issued in January 2015 for 2.5 years. 2nd one is due July 2017.

Is any rule applied that No more 90 days in last 12 months for this category?

Thanks
Regards
Muhammad

No, there is no such rule. However, absences should be limited and for good reason, i.e. spouse should not be living abroad and only visiting the UK.

Be aware that for the next FLR(M) extension in July, A2 level English will be required (from 01/05/17).

Also your wife will have to pay the NHS surcharge of £500 in addition to the visa fee.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Thanks for replying quickly

One of my Cousins will be out of UK for 94 days in last 12 months and it will be whole days out in 2.5 years.

Absence should not be an issue. Make sure they have proof of communication and subsisting marriage.

She needs to meet ALL the same requirements for FLR(M) extension as she did originally.

A2 is required from May 2017. B1 is higher than A2 as far as I am aware.
