Hope u r doing well.

Me and my mrs exhausted all our appeal rights in Feb 2014. In the meantime i completed my 10 years and pllied for SET (LR) and my Mrs applied for FLR(FP) in March 2014 which was put on hold until a decission was made on my application. Now i have received my ILR and i want to vary my wife's FLR(FP) with FLR(M). As her application was submitted in March 2014 and now i will vary it to FLR(M0, do u think it should be considered under old rules.? I know that the application submitted in March was FLR(FP and not FLR(M) but FLR application was actually in the Home Office in March.

What do u think.?




I fully agree with KashRIz, the approval letter has no time mentioned on it, it is just the general guidance notes that have 2 years mentioned on it, hence non challengeable in courts. The BRP should be for 2 years only than it means that the case is under the old immigration rules, means the old rules where they could have combined any time spend before on dependents status. New applications are under appendix FM and have to spend 5 years to qualify for ILR. Many thanks.
Kind regards

Hi Scorpio81,
Very interesting scenario by the way. First thing first is that you have to act very swiftly, because they will be deciding on your Mrs FLR(FP) soon, as I could see on the google drive they made a decision on your ILR on the 18th of July, which is 6 days from today. Frankly in your Mrs case you have nothing to lose, it's worth giving a try. Firstly you will save on the fee, as although you have to pay again for the FLR(M) but they will refund the fee you paid for FLR(FP) later on. Secondly you have a valid point that as FLR(FP) was already in for March, although you are making a different application now, but you are actually varying the grounds of the initial application FLR(FP) which was already in for March 2014, and ideally there is an out side chance that they issue her a visa under the old rules for 2 years. Considering both the points of saving fee and taking the chance of getting the visa under the old rules, it's worth giving a try, but as I suggested you have to act swiftly, get FLR(M) ready and call the Home Office to let them know that you are about to do that, so that you stop them making a decision on that initial application FLR(FP) as according to my experience that will be due any time, so time is of essence here mate. I hope it helps. All the best.
Kind regards

All the best to everyone who is still waiting.

Mskhan,
You would most likely get your BRP card in a day or two. I got my approval letter and documents yesterday and my BRP arrived this morning.

I just want to praise God for his faithfulness over my life in this land. I am so happy that I can attend my conferences again. Thank you everyone for keeping this forum active as it does help to see progress now and again.

My very best wishes in all your endeavour.

Just to share good news with all of you.
By the Grace Of God, my wife has been granted two years flrm visa, we hv received the brp card today.

Thank you so much this forum.
Good luck with every one s applications.

allwell46 wrote:Hello All

I had applied for my wife's FLR M on 03 April 2014 while my ILR on 10 years basis were being considered. I have received my ILR recently and just received my wife's FLR M passport, documents and home office letter back.
It does not say anything about approved or reject but I assume it is approved because there is no rejection letter. In the home office letter it says you can apply ILR after 2 years but I believe these are standard letters to every one for just guidance. I have phoned to DX courier to find out if there is any delivery for us and they said no.

What do u thing Is it approved and if so how long is the visa?
We are desperately praying for 2 years visa as my wife was pre july 2012 pbs dependant and we applied before 6 april 2014 before fm appendix kicks in.

Please guide


congrats both of you:)
you mentioned
(I had applied for my wife's FLR M on 03 April 2014 while my ILR on 10 years basis were being considered)

what that mean?

does it mean that your wife's visa was running out and you requested home office not to take decion on flr(M) while your set (lr) application decided???
please clarify
thanks

• Should I put both application forms in one / same envelope and send at Set (LR) address?
• Or should I send my mrs FLR (FP) at its own address "separately"?

Or those who applied for their Spouse for FLR (M) along with their Set (LR) did they send them in same envelope or send separately?
Hi Tier4,
Both the applications will go to different addresses. Addresses are in the respective applications.
Please write a covering letter with your Mrs FLR(FP), explaining that you are the sponsor, and that your wife is your dependent, and that you have just applied for ILR through SET(LR), and that obviously you don't have a Home Office reference number for the application yet, but that could be provided if they need it later, once you receive the acknowledgement letter. And request Home Office to hold decision on your Mrs FLR(FP) till your SET(LR) is decided. I did the same with my Mrs FLR(M) and they send an acknowledgement letter to her saying that they have put her application on hold till there is a final decision on my application, and when I received my ILR, I was just thinking to write to them to start the process on my wife application, but she got the approval letter the very next day, so you understand, they will club your Mrs application with you and as soon as they make a decision on your application they will immediately decided your Mrs application and send it. I hope the explanation helps. All the best with your forthcoming applications.Many thanks.
Kind regards
Shahjee
Many thnaks that was a great help, may Allah bless you with happiness.
