how could i put it on google drive?

also my wife joined me on April 2008 does she still needs to apply for FLR(M), i did not submitted her application yet, our both visa expiring on 15 August ?
can anyone advice please?

Hi T.Ahmad,
Regards to your wife, you are right she need to apply for FLR(M) before 15th August. With that application you need to send them a covering letter explaining that the Home Office should put her application on hold until they reach final decision on your application, because she is your dependent and you are her sponsor. I hope it help. All the best with your and your Mrs applications.
Kind regards

ASA Shahjee,
I have a question to ask ; when you applied for your wife FLR M did you attach original nikah nama / marriage certificate or its certified copy? Or you did not attached any thing?

Or if any one have applied FLR M / FLR FP you guys attached marriage certificate too. I am applying FLR FP for my wife next month along with mine SET LR. Many thanks

Original Nikah Nama with English Translation .

Guys,
Can anyone advise me please?
I'm planning to apply the FLRM for my wife who has been here since 2007 as soon as I get my Ilr but I'm not sure in terms of documents what should I submit also do I need to show £18600 income?
My wife been here as a student dependent during this 7 years.
Many thanks in advance for your kind reply.

To God be the glory I have received an approval for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. The last ten years have been stormy at times but my LORD has done it for me and my household.
Application made : 14 March 2014
Approval Date: 23 July 2014
Received: 26 July 2014

I have been on 3C since September 2013. Won my refused FLR O application in March but varied to SET LR same week.

All thanks goes to all of you wonderful folks on this forum. I have become addicted to this forum and without you I wonder how I could have remained sane. Best of luck to everyone still waiting my prayers are with you all the way.

Hi Malavan,
Yes you are right, you have to show evidence that you are earning £18600. In addition you have to show either 6 documents in joint names of you and your Mrs or 12 documents in total if it is in individual names. Could be bank statements, utility bills, tenancy agreement, tax office letters, medical records any official correspondence. I hope it helps.all the best.

thanks so much shahjee.
how they are calculating our salary? At the moment im on £300 p/w wage and she is on maternity leave and getting £136 p/w from job centre but she has contract like me after her maternity leave £300 p/w.
also my p60 was 20k for last year.
does it cover 18600?
Are they going to give her 2or 2.5 years? And can I apply ilr for straight away or do I have to wait 5 years? She has been here 7 yeras.

Hello
Yes 18600 is fine , but I don't think you need to send whole bunch of documents , I think your applying for spouse visa and when ur wife go for settlement than you need to show that your living together from last two years , it's fine you send documents but it's not compulsory. As I called home office and spoke to very experienced lady and she explained me all that. For your salary you alone or combine need to show 18600 salary slips bank statement per is fine .

hello every one
three question i recieved my papers back still waiting for my biomatric.
1) the letter which i received from home office today its only say i am retuning your documents and you will receive your bio metric card with in 7 days ............ it doesnt say anywhere that you got Indefinite leave to remain or any thing else.guys who already revived letters from home office is that what you received ???
2)all my kids born in uk can i apply for British registration or i have to wait until my mrs get ilr??
3) my mrs is living in uk as my dependent since 2006 continuously.she was my dependent on tier 4 for 2 years psw 2 years and Tier1 3 years so does it mean she has completed the require period for ilr which is 2 or 5 years can she apply straight away for ilr now?

Hi T.Ahmad,
Yes you right, you will apply for your daughter's MN1 once you get your ILR. There is no harm in mentioning her on the covering letter, but it doesn't make any difference if you don't. Many thanks.

Hi redrosekhan,
The answers to your questions are
1) yes that is the exact letter that I received, so no worries, it is all done. Once you receive your BRP that will say Indefinite leave to remain.
2). No you don't need to wait for your Mrs ILR, your ILR is good enough for that. As far as one of the parent have ILR the British born kids can apply for British passport.
3). No she can't apply ILR straight away, as she have to first apply for FLR(M), which is further leave to remain as dependent of a settled person. The rules have changed since 06th April 2014, any one getting FLR(M) after that date have to spend 5 years qualifying time for ILR, any time that they have spend in the country already is null and void, so in your Mrs case, she has to begin her time again after she get her FLR(M).
I hope it helps mate. All the best.
Kind regards

Hi Malavan,
Yes pay slips, P60 any things that prove that you are earning £18,600, the income can be collective house hold, means you and your Mrs together.
She will be issued with a 2.5 years visa extendable for another 2.5, for a collective 5 years, and after that 5 year she will qualify for her ILR, I am afraid she can't apply for ILR straight away, she need to spend a new qualifying time of 5 years, any time that she has already spend in the country is null and void and is not counted to her qualifying time for ILR. I hope it helps. Many thanks.
Kind regards

Dear Hello star
thx for Wishing.
No I did not apply 28 days earlier. I applied only four days earlier. But You can apply 28 days earlier as far as I am aware

This forum has been helpful. I still continue seeking help from it. I was going through some of the posts where people said that spouse has to complete 5 years route in order to get ILR from now on.
To my understanding, We could apply for ILR right after getting FLR(m) if spouse came to The UK before July 2012. It was also mentioned in Home Office's guidelines on its website.
Amber also created a thread in regards to this rule being changed. Can someone please shed some light on it? When did this rule come into effect?
Thanks in advance.

Amir

Yes, that is correct, ILR (LR) dependants have to wait now for 5 years after they get their FLR(M). This is regardless whether the dependant came before July 2012 or not. They can't combine their previous leave. The clock resets to zero as soon as the dependant get their FLR(M) visa which would be initially for 2.5 years and would need another extension for 2.5 years after which they can apply for their ILR. This rule came into effect from 6th April 2014.
