Hello.someone told me I can apply visa now if I want to switch my visa from 10 years to 5 years if I have b1 test and financial visa requirements meets.my 10 years route visa finish on 3rd June 2023.can I apply now
On 3rd June 2023, would you have completed 10yrs in the UK on the 10yr route? If not how many years would that be or on which extension I.e. 1st or 2nd extension are you currently on on the 10yr route?
OP is on the 10 year route, he has not completed 10 years. Previous post from 2018 when OP was a person without any status.

The HO is not bothered about your bank account balance bit the income is material to the application. So you can go ahead.

Personally, I'd say do not delay it. I wholly regret not switching my husband's visa in 2018, he could have been completed his 5 year this year. I waited until I had 6 months payslip AFTER i returned from maternity leave, this resulted in 2.5 years wasted. I think because we fought so hard against the Home Office with rejections we were just glad to get the visa in the first place, but.. it's a regret!! Hey ho, life moves on and he'll be in ILR stage in 2.5 years InshaAllah (God Willing)

Husband's timeline - overstayer 11 yrs
08/16 - FLR (FP) Partner, refused 02/18, 03/18 - JR permission refused with merit
08/18 - FLR FP (Partner) PSC - Approved
07/20 - FLR FP to FLR M Switch - Approved, 03/23 FLR M Ext Approved.

Hello everyone I am confuse one of the question in travel history section the question is this
For either the uk or any other country have you ever been refused a visa

If you had been refused two three times before you got your leave to remain or was refused because you overstayed for 10 ten years, then your answer is “yes”.

They may have records of their refusals. They may consider that answering “no”, when it’s untrue, is deception.

Explain what you don’t remember.

Provide the information you have. You may want to write a cover letter to throw more light on circumstances.

Check through your paperwork, your FLR FP approval should have your immigration history or even refusal letters. I had to check through our approvals too to get all this history

Enter in each refusal and enter the Home Office case reference. If you do not have all the information to hand write a cover letter explaining things.

Family pictures not required.
Bills like other correspondences with name and address on it can be used as evidence of cohabitation.
