FLR(M) Documents - Tier1 Dependant to ILR dependant

[viper_555]

Query regarding my wife's FLR(M) application- Croydon PEO next week.

My status: Granted ILR last week (from Tier1 G)
Wife currently on Tier1 dependant valid till July 2013. We got married in Jan 2011. Since we've lived together for less than 1 year and I've changed my visa to ILR, Home Office advised her to switch from Tier1 dependant to ILR dependant using FLR(M) form.

Could someone please advise on the documents?
1. English Language- She has completed her Master’s Degree from UK- hope that makes her eligible for English language requirement?
2. Tenancy Agreement
3. Council Tax
4. Bank Statements on joint account
5. Any minimum balance requirement?

Do I need to submit any more documents? Please advice.
Many thanks for your help.

Please refer to section 10 and 11 of the application form for a list of the necessary documents. The list you have suggested lacks certain mandatory requirements. As you applying at a PEO you have to get it right the first time otherwise your application will be retained and a decision sent in the post some weeks later (effectively wasting the cost of a personal application).

Thank you. Apart from the givens (ie. mine and her passports and photographs) what are the other documents required? I went through the form and it does not mention any other documents for married partners. Thanks again for your help.

Hi,

I am in a similar situation like you, can I kindly request that you give us an update once you make the application.

Wishing you the best.

Thanks,

[viper_555]

Sure, will do.
Any givers? Please let me know if any of you have any relevant information regarding this.

[viper_555]

Any one help please? I got a PEO Croydon this Monday. Many thanks.

[Lucapooka]

Applying in person is a complete waste of money if the application is not perfect; they will retain your application and send you a decision in the post at the same timescale as a regular postal application. If you are not sure what you are doing then seek professional help. A document checking service might be done at a very reasonable price.

[viper_555]

blah blah blah! Can someone who has applied previosuly advise please. Thanks

We just applied for my wife's FLR(M) 3 weeks ago. In addition to all these documents, one other thing CW asked for was the marriage certificate.
Make sure that you carry it with you.

Hi Guys

My wife has her In-person FLR(M) apointment in the next couple of weeks. Can I accompany my wife to the PEO or does she have to go alone?

Regards

[viper_555]

You can be there with her or she can go alone. Its doesnt realy matter.

I think we have a similar situation.

My husband applies for ILR (SET O) on the 29th of March. Both our visa's expire in May. At the moment I am on his dependent visa (tier 1 general) and I have been in the country for a year.

On reading the forum, I figured out that I need to fill up a separate application (FLR M).

I need to know if I can apply on the same day as he is or do I need to to wait for him to get his ILR and then apply?

Thanks,
Rashmi

Hi-

Yes, you need to apply for FLR(M) after your husband gets ILR.
Home Office advise is to convert 'as soon as you can'. Book a PEO appointment 7-14 days after your husband's ILR. I think they have started issuing Biometric for ILR now; which means your husband will get the biometric card only after 7 days. So keep a buffer.

cheers

[Rashmi001]

Thanks. Look like we are going to have to re-schedule the appointment for my husband in order to leave a 14 days buffer.

I just have another question. I had the ukba office and I got different replies each time.

So when my husband applies for his ILR, does he need to book an appointment with one dependent or zero dependant.

Thanks,

you can actually book an appointment on the same day (separate appoinments a few hours apart) but you are relying on the fact that your husbands application will have been considered and granted by the time you submit yours.

you are not applying 'together' so he books the appt with no dependents.

[Rashmi001]

Oh that sounds good. Thank a lot for your help guys.

Hi, is council tax a necessary document for tier 1?
I have only seen this required when applied under " long stay" section.

Thanks.

Hi Greenie,

First of all, thanks to all the active members in the forum.
I have been on work permit (Old style) from January 2007. Now, I have my ILR appointment booked in Solihull on 30/03. And, I have my wife's FLR appointment booked on 02/04 (31st March and 1st April being weekend).

Assuming my ILR application is successful, with the biometric cards being issued only after a seven day period - Do I need to reschedule my wife's FLR appointment or will I get a residence permit number (of some sort) that I can use for her application and still apply on 02/04?

Your help is much appreciated.

this thread is about dependents of Tier 1/Tier 2 migrants. WP are covered by a different set of rules. What leave does your wife have currently?
