I think the refusal is totally wrong because her tier 1 depedant visa does allow her to switch in to FLRM even on last day of its expiry from UK.

HI seagul,
Is it possible to apply from back home?
Appeal hearing takes time according to my knowledge. I just want to avoid that stressful waiting soo long time.
that's the reason I applied my ILR through 10 years route in prime service and also my wife visa too.
is there any other route to get prime services?

Thanks

Why not you involve your MP and ask for reconsideration too because its their mistake/lack of knowledge.

Yes, I will try, but I do have a very short term to appeal before (12/02/2019).

Doesn't that would be more stressful & painful when you both will be away during the course of re-applying from outside the UK. At least with appeal you both will be together with high chances of overturning of the refusal decision. I think appeal & also ask for reconsideration through MP.

How long was your wife's PBS dependant visa granted for?

That's the reason for refusal. Your wife is unable to extend a visa of less than 6 months under FLR(M). She won't be able to apply for FLR(M) from outside of the UK and will have to apply for a new entry visa.

Then it's your choice whether you appeal or apply for a Spouse Settlement visa from outside of the UK. :idea:

Agreed with Casa, Appeal will not help in this issue.

Please see this

E-LTRP.2.1. The applicant must not be in the UK-

(a) as a visitor; or
(b) with valid leave granted for a period of 6 months or less, unless that leave is as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner, or was granted pending the outcome of family court or divorce proceedings


Technically your spouse is short of this requirement. Rest is your decision

Since you are given with appeal right so you should definitely avail it.

Is it not good if OP sends his spouse to home country and apply for entry clearence. As you know appeal process is stressful and lengthy. His case is straightforward and have a high chance of getting through it.

All depends on individual circumstances as many couples can't afford to live apart even a day. However, if op can afford in sending his partner back home for entry clearance then its really up to him.

The cost of the legal fees for an appeal is likely to be higher than the cost of a spouse entry visa and the wait for a decision could be 12 months or more, with no guarantee of success. :idea:

And how about if op's decisions gets reconsidered even along or without appeal from inside the country like many others then won't that be much cheaper.
