Applying for 2 year extension?

Post by omeo_21 » Tue Mar 02, 2010 12:45 pm

Hi everyone

Just wanted to know how soon can you apply for FLR, for example if my fiancee arrives in march and her visa expires in august, if we marry in march can we apply for FLR as soon as we are married or is their a time limit to when we can apply?

thannks

And the sooner you apply - the earlier you can apply for ILR (or probationary citizenship as it will be) and then citizenship on from that.

Also keep in mind that if your fiancee arrives on a fiancee visa - they cannot work until you convert to FLR(M).

My question is do you need COA to apply for spouse visa?

Not sure

I belive Yes you need COA

No his fiancee is on a fiancee visa. No need for COA.
I tell it like it is.

You can apply under FLR (M) as soon as you are married. I just went through the same procedure and got my FLR (M) four days after biometrics, but 12 weeks since the date of application.

The sooner you apply the better! Good luck!
