Greetings,
I’m planning to switch my FLR FP visa(unmarried partner)to FLR M.
I took GESE Grade 2 (A1) exam and passed, is this sufficient for FLR M route?

Thanks for reply...
Just a follow up question, I’m working as a nursing practitioner at the Care Home do I have to pay for IHS fee or I’m exempted from paying it?

Except a mere news couple of months ago we haven't heard anything afterwards and no member have shared any of their experience.

The current government guidance at the website below would appear to suggest that the exemption from the IHS fee would only apply to those on Tier 2 General visas and sponsored by the NHS, an organisation providing medical services to the NHS or an organisation providing adult social care rather than those on family visas. But as seagul mentioned, the guidance and member experience on this is a little unclear and what the government says and what the government does are occasionally a bit different at the moment as they certainly made it sound like the exemption would apply to almost all health/care workers. Either way, it seems you would likely have to pay it up front and then claim a refund if eligible.

Hi guys,
My FLR FP visa will be expiring soon - in January 2021. And I am looking to switch to FLR M.
I meet all requirements. Relationship,Finance, English test etc.
Questions:
1. Would my immigration history as a previous overstayer will affect my application?
2. The gov.co.uk won’t give me an option for premium service, is this route still available?
Has anyone got any input?
Thanks

3. I’m not updated with this new immigration application system, how can I upload all my documents online? Is there any agency/company I can go to scan and upload them on my behalf?

The application is done online/electronically, no paper forms any more and nothing posted to HO.
Yes, the visa application partners can do this for you at a cost. You will get this option of using UKVCAS to upload documents.

Is there any due date/timeline when to upload all the documents needed?

Academically, these should be kept carrying on uploading until the date of biometrics appointment, but the instructions arrive afterwards, upon the submission of application blended with follow ups should strictly be adhered to.

You must upload the documents before your biomteric appointment.
