should our British child be listed as a dependent on FLR(m) application??

[AmazonianX]

thanks AmazonianX!

1. i submitted the documentation yesterday and our appointment is on 7th november. when they say it'll take them 6-8 weeks to make a decision, that'll start from 7th november right? Taken to mean start from date of biometrics submission though suspect some activity already ongoing at normal times.

2. will it effect her application in any way if she and i travel outside the UK during those 6-8 weeks? Yes, it will be taken that you withdraw you present application with HO. So do not travel.

3. on the app, it asks for this "Optionally, I will provide the following documents: Evidence to support my claim it would be difficult or impossible to integrate and establish a private life outside the UK"
what can i include to satisfy this part? Details about your ties or settled and integrated life in the UK. Child or children, work or business. i have already submitted my job contract, letter from employer, my daughter's birth certificate, mortgage offer, utility bills, council tax. is that sufficient to to satisfy this part? i'm unsure what else would address my ties to a settled life in the UK.

in the app, they asked "Please give details of any previous addresses (including country if outside the UK), how long you lived there and whether you lived at this address with your partner". here i said that we lived with my parents from end of feb till end of march 2018. as this was well over 2 years ago, do i need to include a letter from my parents? (i've asked this before but just confirming by asking again-sorry).

If it is no problem to get such letter from your parents then do so. Best case it us important and CW sees it and are happy, worse case scenario it is not important and CW puts its aside.
Worst case scenario it is important, you didn't include it, HO or case worker delays progress of your application and request you to send something to corroborate your claim.

fair enough. i'll add it. apart from my parents' names and d.o.b's, what else should i include about them? their passport numbers?

in your second to last response, you mentioned i should include "Details about your ties or settled and integrated life in the UK. Child or children, work or business." i have already submitted my job contract, letter from employer, my daughter's birth certificate, mortgage offer, utility bills, council tax. is that sufficient to satisfy this part? i'm unsure what else would convince the CW of my ties to a settled life in the UK.

In the additional notes section or or if you are writing cover letter mention the above highlighted documents which you had already uploaded shows reason why

thanks AmazonianX.

apart from my parents stating their names, address and that we stayed with them for 1 month, what else should they include on their letter?

Normally would say that's enough but with me not understanding why they are specifically asking younfor this, back it up with Form of ID, and documents showing they own the property.
Note: the above remains solely personal opinion and trying to plug any avenue wherein application progress gets delayed n they requesting for additional docs.

thanks very much AmazonianX.

I submitted the majority of the documents a few days ago and so it says 'submitted' in front of each of those. however, i am uploading some more documents between now and the appointment and it has said 'remove file' in front of each of those for the past couple of days. i don't see a submit button anymore (it was there when i submitted the first set of documents). is this a bug or will documents submit themselves in time?

Until near past that button can only be pressed once for which onus was on the applicant to make sure to have uploaded all documents before pressing. Better to take all original documents to apointment.

hey seagul. thanks for your response. can you tell me what you mean by "Until near past that button"?

I think the mistake i've made is clicking submit thinking that option will be there afterwards as well up until the appointment. would you know if there's a way i can contact the HO about this?

i can of course take the original documents with me but if there's a way to do this online that would be great.

I mean that at very beginning, the members were not aware about it but later it was revealed through others experience that this button is pressed only once. Now the best remedy would be to take the remaining documents to appointment. Also, sadly there is no way to reach to caseworker unless he/she himself contact you.

No way to remedy it, take documents to appointment and be prepared to pay for the service.

hi seagul and AmazonianX,

it appears that i'll have to buy the document scanning service so I can have the additional documents included. hitting submit a few days ago was a silly mistake on my part but an honest one. i spoke to UKVCAS and they said it really should be clearer on their website.

so apart from the additional docs that we'll take with us (latest payslip, bank statement etc.), the mandatory documents on her app are:
1. my wife's BRP and passport
2. my passport (as evidence of my immigration status in the UK).
3. "Declaration signed by spouse or civil partner. Your spouse or civil partner should download, sign and return the following declaration: Your partner's relationship declaration for married partners and civil partners." These were 3 family consent forms and 1 declaration form that we had to sign.

are we meant to take all these mandatory documents with us to the appointment or just 1 and 2?
no need to take all the supporting docs is there? (there's more than 70 documents that I uploaded)

If possible, take all so that should there be a missing or illegible documents among those you uploaded, you have the last opportunity to rectify such.

hi AmazonianX,

i'll take all the docs then to be on the safe side. do they tell you which docs don't look legible as standard while at the appointment or do I have to buy the document checking service for this?

i'm already buying the document scanning service because i hit submit early so keen to know if i need to buy this other service too.

thanks.

You are buying the service which you have more ore less done the grunt work of, therefore you ask them for review of all docs you have already uploaded and they are obliged to assist with this.

Aside this, keep a constant eye over your email including your spam folder as HO might directly request the deficient papers even before your appointment.

[Ht1]

thank you seagul and AmazonianX.

i have already submitted a cover letter but i feel it would be helpful for me to clarify a few things included within the documentation I'll be submitting at the appointment. given that i've already submitted a cover letter, can i write another one and start it off by saying please ignore the first one and giving it a name such as "final cover letter"?
