There is no required number of months together during the two year probationary period, if your wife was out of the UK for work that should be a valid absence and not affect the settlement application.jraj wrote:Hi
My wife is on a flr(m) visa which is due to expire this October. We plan to get an extension for her since we haven't spend the required number of months together for settlement (she has been out of country for few months). I am a British citizen.
I have received a job offer from abroad and will need to go abroad. I will be quiting my UK company in the next month or so, and we plan to move abroad. Hence, HR in the company will not write a letter for my indefinite employment. Is such a letter needed for the visa extension?
Reason my wife needs an extension because she will continue to work for the UK company while abroad and draw salary in the UK.
Thanks for your help.
Well I'm lost as to why she doesn't go for settlement when she's eligible, absences can be ignored if there are good reasons, however, for an extension of flr(m) under the old rules no employment letter is needed.jraj wrote:She had her visa in 2011 November. She will not have time for life in the UK test and hence want to apply for an extension. She has been away less than an year and it's not work related rather more family related.
I want to know what sort of letter will I need from my employer?

Have you discussed with her whether she would like to become settled?jraj wrote:D4109125 wrote:Well I'm lost as to why she doesn't go for settlement when she's eligible, absences can be ignored if there are good reasons, however, for an extension of flr(m) under the old rules no employment letter is needed.jraj wrote:She had her visa in 2011 November.

Well the sponsorer will not be in the country when her visa expires. We plan to move abroad as soon as she gets her extension. There is no need for her to get settlement.
Having said that her visa expires in November, can we ask for an extension in June (5months before expiry)?
