F.L.R Advice

Post by john1974 » Sun Jul 01, 2012 9:20 am

Hi :D
I am coming to the U.K on marriage visa, and after being here ten days are getting wed, how long after that is it before i can apply for the F.L.R, wish to do it in person at one of there offices, think the solihull office, but when from i enter the U.K can i apply? what i would like to do is enter then apply because of waiting time for an appointment time, as i'm not sure how long it will take to be given an appointment, can you book on-line straight away from the day i first enter the U.K ? or do you have to wait until you have got wed before applying? any advice you Good people can offer will be brill
Thanks Everyone :wink:

I hope you've applied for a fiance visa and not a marriage visit visa. When is the date of the marriage? Appointment slots are only released onto the system 6 weeks in advance and then are taken up very quickly. Reading your other posts, I'm assuming this question is on behalf of your fiancee.

You can book the appointment before your wedding but, as Casa has said, you will be unlikely to find an appointment available that isn't 6 weeks away.

Here's the link to the details:

They release new slots every day, for six weeks away. They go fast. Tomorrow there should be some spots for circa 13 August available. If at first you don't succeed, try again at different times of the day. Some people say the slots become available at midnight, but I have no idea if this is true.

When I looked this morning I was able to find appointments for 13 August 2012 at all PEO centres apart from Cardiff. Hope you managed to book something but, if not, try again tomorrow at about 8am.
