I was wondering if somebody could please help me. My wife has a 2 year temporary leave to remain as as spouse which expires in April. However, because she arrived here in June 2006 she cannot complete the full 2 year probationary period. Does this mean that she has to apply for an extension of the visa with form FLR(M) rather than the SET(M) form?
If the FLR(M) form is the one we need, then one thing that we are baffled about is how long my wife's original 2 year visa gets extended for? is it just until the 2 year period comes up i.e. 2 months further, or one year more, or does the FLR(M) form give an additional two years?? This m ay seem an elementary question but I have not been able to find the answer.
Also, am I right in saying that because we are husband and wife, we dont need to submit the 20 documents?
Hi Mohan Singh.
A friend of mine was in a simialr situation to your wife. She arrived in the UK 7 weeks after her 2 year spouse visa was granted, for family reasons. Based on legal advice given her to by a big law firm in the City, her husband only applied for SET(M) ILR and not an FLR(M) extension as he was told the 7 week delay was acceptable. In the end, the HO granted her ILR by post, and they made a couple of hundred pounds saving by not applying for FLR(M).
Please please help!
best wishes,
Mohan
