Spouse Visa Extension

[AGM23]

Hi all,

My wife is already in UK on spouse visa, she arrived on 10th April 2022, on her BRP it says date of issue 07-02-2022 and Valid until 08-11-24, Question is when does she need to apply for extension exactly? I am assuming 28 days before 08-11-24? is this correct?

Or do i need to calculate 30 months when she first arrived on 10th April?

Appreciate if someone can clarify?


Thanks

From the date of entry into the UK. She can submit a FLR(M) application any when from 28 days prior to completing 30 months of residence up to the expiry date of her current BRP.

Thank you casa,

Just so i understand this correctly, she can apply 28 days before expiry on her BRP?

But then that would mean she wouldnt have completed 30 months? and if she applies based on date of arrival her BRP would have been expired couple of months earlier? hence the confusion.


Thanks

She must apply for an extension before her current visa expires.

She must apply for an extension before her current visa expires.

Thanks CR001,

So i assume visa as per her BRP expiry date?

Thanks

Yea, the brp is her visa and she must apply before the expiry date otherwise she becomes an overstayer

Based on the dates you supplied, this is incorrect. And there is no requirement to have completed 30 months before applying.

and if she applies based on date of arrival her BRP would have been expired couple of months earlier? hence the confusion.


Thanks

This also is incorrect. Check your calculations.

Thanks Korekt for your reply? so what is correct then? as mentioned date on BRP expiry is 08-11-24.

Thanks

What is correct is what you've been advised as to the window to apply.
