Immigration health surcharge - Exempt?

[m_grace0816]

Hi, I am residing in the UK under a Tier 2 ICT visa and am now applying for a family visa as I have now married my fiancé who is a UK citizen by birth. I'm a bit confused by the wording of the below question:

Is your current entry clearance or leave to remain as the partner of one of the following?
- a British citizen
- a person settled in the UK
- a person with refugee leave or a person with humanitarian protection in the UK

Is this question referring to myself, in which I should answer this question as "No" as I am here only under Tier 2 ICT?

Yes it is referring to you the applicant as you are the one with leave to remain. Simply answer NO.

Hi, I am residing in the UK under a Tier 2 ICT visa and am now applying for a family visa as I have now married my fiancé who is a UK citizen by birth. We have only lived together for about 1.5 years but the application is still requesting items of correspondence addressed to me and my husband as evidence we have been living together since my last grant of leave in this category, or from the date we first started living together, covering the last 2 years. Is this still required even though we are now legally married and can provide our marriage certificate? Will my application be denied if I only submit correspondence from the last 1.5 years? Do I even need to submit these correspondence since we're married?

Thanks,
Macie

For initial spouse visa application there is no need of 2 years of cohabitation evidences rather any recent proof of address/residence individually/jointly addressed will be suffice.

Hi, I am residing in the UK under a Tier 2 ICT visa and am now applying for a FLR (M) visa as I have now married my fiancé who is a UK citizen by birth. As my current company has already paid for my National Health Insurance for 5 years on my current visa am I exempt from paying this fee?

Thanks!

No you are not exempt. You have to pay the £1000 IHS.
