FLR(M) is the form for those who are already in the UK on a spouse visa or on 6 month Fiance Visa and who are applying for an extension or for those who are in the UK on other residence visas switching to FLR(M).
It is true but the refusal is extremely high and I still saw 3 recently on other platforms.graemed wrote: ↑Wed Aug 17, 2022 10:24 amI paid a level three adviser and just want to check all is correct.
My wife had a 2yr tourist visa (180 days per year allowed) and the adviser said if you want to upgrade this in-country to a spouse visa you need "insurmountable obstacles" reasons. He said it has a high refusal rate and you really should apply abroad.
Is this right please?
How is that unfair. Everyone else has to jump through the same hoops. It actually would be unfair to countless others to allow you do this in country.
Families have been torn apart for much longer. A British Citizen relocation to the UK with non-British spouse would be torn apart for almost a year at the minimum.
They could continue to have their family life in the country they are living in, or in the country of the spouse etc. Choosing to move to the UK is not being "torn apart" as they made that choice.Ticktack wrote: ↑Sat Aug 20, 2022 5:22 pmFamilies have been torn apart for much longer. A British Citizen relocation to the UK with non-British spouse would be torn apart for almost a year at the minimum. Spouse has to move here, find a job, work for 6 months (except they have tons of cash), then start the application there after. It's nightmare situation, but it is what it is.
Not so long ago, the UK used to have a Primary Purpose Rule for those wanting to live in the UK as a spouse. That required immigrants to show that a marriage was not entered into to obtain admission to the UK.
