Premium Service FLR (M)

[ASD1]

Hello all,

I hope someone can help.

My wife arrived to the UK on 09/08/13 on an intial 2.5 year visa, which expires 29/04/16. She reaches her 30 month mark on 09/02/16. I was wondering when the earliest date we can apply for her extension visa? We were told we don't have to wait for the visa to expire before renewing, we can do this once she has 2.5 years here, is that correct? The reason why we want it soon after the 30 month mark is so we can do some travelling, hence the premium service.

Also I am trying to get a date for the premium service but no dates in Feb are available. Does anyone have any experience with booking a premium appointment?

Any help is much appreciated.

You should apply no sooner than 30 months from her date of entry. This is to avoid any shortfall when it gets to the ILR stage.

The extension will be granted from the date you apply, not as a follow on from when the current visa expires.

In person appointments are only released and visible 42 days or 6 weeks in advance so it is a little bit too early to book for when you are looking.
