Applying before 33 months not 30 months

Post by LightNova » Wed May 06, 2020 1:09 pm

Hi everyone

I was due to apply for extension for my wife's visa. Unfortunately I was made redundant from my job in March 2020. We wanted to apply in April 2020 as this would have been 30 months.

We will now apply before 33 months, as my wife will have been at her current employment for 6 months.
She will apply for the extension, 28 days rule.

Applying before 33 months will this effect the ILR later on? . The FLR M extension visa will that be for 30 months?

Also my wife is applying under her salary only, she meets the financial requirements, do I need to declare my previous salary?

Thanks in advance

No. The requirement for ILR is 60 months residence in the UK. So provided your wife has been in the UK for at least 30 months at the date of application, there would not be a shortfall when the time comes to apply for ILR. Note that the new visa will be valid for 30 months from the date it is issued and any remaining leave from the previous visa should be added to the validity period (up to a maximum of 28 days).

Yes, plus any remaining leave from the previous visa (up to a maximum of 28 days).

No need if she is legally working in the UK and can meet the financial requirement with her own income.

Certainly can. It's paragraph GEN.1.13 of Appendix FM linked below.

Also mentioned in the following link under "When you can apply to extend or switch":

You will have to remind them about this ideally through a covering letter because a lot of times they don't add extra 28 days.

Thanks seagul

The UKVI don't they keep the dates in their system. Thought they would know how many days left on the visa.

Thanks

They certainly have all record but not all caseworker are familiar/exercise this discretion of adding 28 days extra. So reminding them may drive them in doing so.

Immigration health surcharge error

Post by LightNova » Mon Jul 13, 2020 12:18 am

Hi all
I have just completed the online application for FLR_M. I made a complete error regarding IHS.

When asked for the IHS reference number, I inadvertently entered our previous NUMBER from our first spouse visa. This is incorrect, as I was suppose to pay a new fee for IHS

Unfortunately I have paid the fee for FLR_M.

Is there a way to pay for the IHS, I can't go back and pay for the IHS

Regard
Lightnova

No, you can't update it change the FLR m form after you submitted.

Add proof of paying IHS to your supporting documents with a brief covering note.

Natwest bank statement

Post by LightNova » Sat Sep 26, 2020 5:36 pm

Hi All

I have an official Natwest bank statement for 6 month, its for FLR(M). The bank statement was sent by post.

I noticed the bank statement did not have a date or no electronically stamped, but the bank statement was in an official bank stationery, with Natwest logo on every page.

Will this statement be acceptable?
