Any ideas. they are as follows:
1) first extension as a partner from within the UK YES. This one
2)You delayed your travel to UK by more than 3 months after the issue of a visa and have not yet completed the required amount of time on a partner visa
3-you require more time to meet the knowledge of language and life in uk requirement to apply for settlement
4- you have granted entry as a fiance but not yet married
5-you are applying for any other reason

Bear in mind that a postal application could take 12 weeks to process and during this time your wife will be unable to work. If you apply in person at a PSC and pay the premium fee (£1311) a decision in general made on the day.morphine50 wrote:Hello , a few questions before I send off the wifes visa:
-Do I (UK born partner) need to send my passport too? Yes, or a legally certified copy
-As we have been married 6 months and she is on a fiance visa, we have not got a lot of evidence with our names on bills etc. Should this be an issue? Not a requirement following a fiance visa. This is for later FLR(M) application to show co-habitation when applying for extension after 2.5 years.
- Do i print my online application and post together with all the evidences e.g. passport etc. Yes
There's a legal requirement for your employer to issue you with a contract. It would be in your own interest to ask why they have failed to do this.morphine50 wrote:also , the evidence checklist states it needs a signed contract of employment which I dont have. Is a letter from work which I states I work there with salary details enough?
Your wife has to submit her original passport. You as the sponsor can submit a certified copy. Assuming you are going on holiday with your wife, suggest apply in person.morphine50 wrote:another query:
I am going on holiday in 4 weeks- so will require my passport.
Do the evidences get sent back promptly ?
A BRP for 2.5 years. After that she'll apply for another 2.5 year extension before qualifying for ILR at the end of the 5 year period.morphine50 wrote:im going away not her
if she is succesful will she get a 2 year visa and a BRP card?
Then what would be the next application?
