No, that is too big a gap to bridge. You will need to apply for FLR(M), in the last 28 days of validity of the current visa.Now the question is can I apply for ILR on 05/12/08 by post obviously and pay by cheque to buy more time, Would it work?
No, if you apply for ILR, say on or slightly before 06.12.08, the application will get refused, and the application fee will be lost. You would not even get FLR for your ILR application fee.What would happen if it got refused ILR? Apart from losing my fees would I get FLR again for ILR price?
Transitional arrangement
If you apply for indefinite leave to remain before you have been able to obtain the relevant qualification, but you satisfy all other requirements for the category in which you are applying, under a transitional arrangement in the immigration rules, your application will be considered under the rules for an extension of stay.
This arrangement, which was previously advertised as ending on 31 January 2008, continues but is expected to end in the near future.
An announcement will appear on our website when an end date for the transitional arrangement is decided.
Once the arrangement has ended, an application for indefinite leave to remain without the relevant qualification will be refused. The fee is not refunded when an application is refused.
You can actually apply for FLR(M) at any time before the end of your expiry dateeliasuk4u wrote:When is the earliest date I can apply for FLR(M) to complete the Gap to full fill 2 years qualifying period for ILR? Does it have to be 28days before the expiry of my 2year spouse visa? I can't find any refernce to this..Any one else ???? Thanks.
Just noticed under the FLR(M) guidance No.5.John wrote:Yes, in the last 28 days of validity of the current visa. I think that is clear from the application form, or the accompanying guidance notes.
When the application is made, what are you hoping to achieve? Just time on the visa to bridge the gap? Or a new 2-year visa?
So, Is that mean that HO will issue a visa extension just to cover the period of 8 weeks? Thats a con for the price I will be payingJohn wrote:Well that is the problem, I do not think that assumption is correct, but other views very welcome.I assume HO will issue me another 2 years extension regardless being eligible to apply ILR in Jan 2009.
