Hello all,
I am not very accomplished at this and don’t understand the jargon well and certainly not the acronyms. Please write out the meaning of the acronym the first time you use it – so I have a reasonable chance at understanding your answers. My Questions:
1. I arrived in the UK on a Tier 2 Visa. About 1.5 years later, I got married to a Brit. I have not overstayed by Tier 2 visa, it extends to 2016. Am I correct in my understanding that to transfer status from Tier 2, I should use the form FLR(M)? And what does that mean F_____ Leave to Remain (M)? What do the F and M standing for?
2. IMPORTANT: I want to use the Premium Service but I read this under people who should NOT use the Premium Service (at this website: https://www.gov.uk/ukvi-premium-service ... he-service): “someone whose case is complex because of personal circumstances (eg you have a criminal conviction).”
a. I have a criminal conviction, 18 years ago, in the USA for Driving Under the Influence (of alcohol).
b. My British wife thinks that this ancient criminal conviction (it is criminal in the USA) is not sufficient to warrant that my “case is complex because of personal circumstances (eg you have a criminal conviction).”
c. It seems clear to me that since I have a criminal conviction, even though it is 18 years ago, that I fall into this group.
What do you think? And, my wife will want evidence so can you cite a web page I can show her please?
Thanks all for your understanding and help.
Your quick response would be greatly appreciated,
Mark
