Hi all, looking for some advice My current situation is: • I am in a relationship with Brazilian national who has been in UK for over 10 years • My partner has leave to remain on the 5yr route to settlement - this was granted November 2018 - Family life as the partner of a person present and settled...
My partner and I are a year into the five year route to settlement. Our plan has always to get married but at the time of application it seemed easier to go for the 5yr route on the basis of us being partners. I’m hoping to get some clarification on what I should do in order for us to get married in...
Currently doing this myself and I have found that you can book appointments about 43-45 days in advance. At midnight they release appointment for the 43-45th day from now – you have to check all the centres. The other day for example Solihull had plenty but Croydon had none. I think you have to plan...
Hi CR001, Thanks very much for your response – all information is good information. The visa says ‘Residence Card of a Family Member of an EEA National Remarks Employment and Business Activities Allowed’ – I had just assumed this was marriage visa (I’m on a steep learning curve!) – her ex is Italian...

no child with her but i have a 17yr old daughter from previous relationship - apparently that could be a criteria for the 10yr route (barrier to relocation) - she turns 18 in February. her five year spouse visa expires November 18
Looking for some advice/guidance, have been to see lawyer who has quoted £1000 to help us with the FLR(M) form – it’s quite a long form but I’m wondering, is it that difficult to do it all yourself and what exactly am I getting for my grand? We tick all the boxes, income, English language proficienc...
