2 (possibly silly) questions for FLR(M)

Post by mattero » Fri May 20, 2022 11:24 am

Hi all

I have been going through all the previous topics on this board and they have really helped me in preparing my wife's FLR(M) application, the deadline for which is the end of next month when her BRP expires.

I do however have 2 questions I was wondering someone could answer assist with as I am still slightly unclear on the answers.

1. My wife sat and passed her A2 English test earlier this week. However the pass email says 'provisional result' and says a final result email will follow. Presumably I can only submit the application after the final email is received?

2. On the cohabitation evidence, I remain a little unclear on the most suitable approach. Assuming 1 joint utility bill and all other evidences being single, my understanding is that I need to effectively provide 10 total documents, being 2 joint bills (say Sep 20 and Nov 21) and 8 single pieces of correspondence (bank statements, hospital letters, GP etc). Is this correct? Is it better to provide the single evidence in the same month (so hospital letter for wife in January 21 and bank statement for me in January 21)?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You need to provide 5 joints letters or bills or 10 individual (5 in her name and 5 in yours). This has to be spread across every 5-6 months.

So if you have 2 joint names, you need 4 individuals (total 8), 3 joint names 2 individuals (total 4). So invariably, everyone has 5 documents with their names and address on it. Same month is fine also the next month is ok.
It has to cover the last 30 months.
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!

The requirement is 6 documents in joint names or 12 if in single names :idea:

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Thank you both. That makes perfect sense i.e. you need 6 documents for each showing their name. If it's joint you only need 6, if it's single you need 12.

I assume ticktack probably just mistyped on the 5/10.

Anyone know about the final query re English result?

Hi Buddy,

12 pieces single, or 6 joint.
And no its not last 30 months, it for the last 2 years minimum preceding application. 2 years is fine, with 3-4 months gap.

Also, provisional result is not confirmed. So you should definitely apply after you get the result confirmation. And upload the result certificate once you get it

regards

Yep absolutely correct Casa. One of those days I wasn't counting properly. :D

And no its not last 30 months, it for the last 2 years minimum preceding application. 2 years is fine, with 3-4 months gap.FLR (M) are issued for 2.5 years. So it should ideally cover the period from the last issue. Hence the 30 months.

Also, provisional result is not confirmed. So you should definitely apply after you get the result confirmation. And upload the result certificate once you get it

No buddy, Read up, even though the FLRM visa when issued is for 30 months, 2.5 years. They only ask for minimum 2 years

The initial spouse visa is not FLRM. Correspondence covering 24months preceeding application is acceptable.
