FLR(m) grace period to apply for extension...

[HasA62]

Dear CR001 , Noajathan,

This is for cousin's wife. He is BC and wife is now ready to apply for FLR(M). The sad thing is her visa ( first spouse visa ) expired on 27 December 2016. Then they prepare to send documents by post next week having trust in the Grace period of 28 periods.
I found some problems in financial docs. Husbands income enough under cat B to support her . but last 16 December 2016 he changed his job and only 2 weeks in the new job.

So can he submit previous 11 months payslips from previous job and 01 month job payslips from New job ?

Employer letter need to be obtained from previous and new employers ?

Sorry to bother all of you. They are very nervous now.. Negligence has led to bring troubles in life .

The crucial issue is that there is no longer a 28 day 'grace period'. This was reduced in November to 14 days, although the Home Office aren't compelled to honour this as extant leave is required for FLR(M).

There is no longer a '28 day grace period'. This 'grace period' is very abused and really should not be used if an applicant 'forgot' to apply in time. The 'grace period' is now 14 days, but still does not guarantee she will get an extension.

They should have applied before the BC spouse changed jobs and definitely BEFORE the visa expired.

Many more thanks for reply and speedy typing ...LOL..!!

She has to apply anyway regardless of the result . If she is refused then ;

Will she get a Right to Appeal from within the UK ? or should leave UK to appeal from her own country ?

Which is the best option for financial support ;

1. Apply under CAT B using only sponsor's income (12 months payslips ) or
2. Apply combining income , her income 12,000.00 + balance from sponsor 7,000.00 ?

sponsor can get a employer letter from his new employer . please help them..

What is the reason she didn't submit an application before her visa expired? She could have applied from 1st December already.

I think the reason was in fact Negligence . Because of some family disputes inside family members which led to forget the expiry date . They didnt disclose all these fully but I could imagine from some scenes.. cant write all here.. so I think better write a covering letter mentioning some real and honest reasons with application.
Hope you will suggest an idea. also comment on the earlier post's financial docs.pl

Hello guys I am in the same trouble right now my visa expired on 7th and I apply again on 10th. Make some reason but not sure that will be good enough. If my grace period get rejected what will be the options for me. I am really stressed because I have two kids 2 and 3 years old here in UK. Also what was the result of your application in the end can you please share with me?
