ILR dependent - FLRM application

alpharomeo · Post by **alpharomeo** » Mon Feb 18, 2019 6:02 pm

Hi seniors and gurus,

Just checking I recently have got my ILR on 10 years route, previous lave to remain was Tier 1 ENT.

My spouse has got Tier 1 Ent dependent leave to remain until Sept 2019, can she travel with me on it before switching?

Secondly, when switching to FLRM 2 x 2.5 years years, does my spouse need to fulfill English language requirements again as previously held IELTS for exams which expired almost 10 months ago? and do we need it again on the second extension as most of the English tests are valid for 2 years max.

Documents attaching:
Spouse Passport
Spouse BRP
Income proof of combine income more then GBP18600/- (last six months pay slips, bank statement)
English language
Proof of living together (joint bank account and combine bills)

Settled spouse passport and BRP.

Risky to travel before switching. On tetune her visa could be canceled and she could be refused entry (yes this has happened to forum members).

She needs English A1 that is current and on the current HO approved list of tests and test providers.

For second flr m she needs A2. She can however do B1 now if she wishes.

Thank you @CR001

For further clarification, can we take IELTS as the format is more familiar? secondly, is it compulsory to attend UKVI IELTS or English test centers or we can attempt IELTS at any city collage or university campus?

Lastly, are the documents ok mentioned in my initial post for the FLRM post.

When I was looking online at gov.uk website am I filling the correct form "Apply as spouse of settled person in UK"??

Many thanks.

You must to do and approved test at an HO approved test centre which is on the most recent test centre list. You cannot just go to 'any' college to do it.

Lastly, are the documents ok mentioned in my initial post for the FLRM post.

If they cover at least 2 years, you need items from 6 different sources.

Yes, form FLR(M).

Page 64 in the link below (the old paper form) lists was HO expect to see.

Thames Water would be ONE source, for example. Council tax will be another source.

I don't think 6 piece of documents of cohabitation are required for initial application (2.5 years ) of spouse visa.

Any recent document which shows proof of address. There is no need of previous 2 years of cohabitation documents for initial spouse visa. See for more detail:

My wife is also intend to change from Tier 2 Dependent ---> Family of Settled Person. She is living with me from over 3 years and still have 1.5 year visa left.

Just a bit curious there are no rules prohibiting her from changing to FLR within UK after living 3+ years?

Is there a timeline that after my SET-LR granted, she has to change within few days or she can change before the expiry for Tier 2 Dependent visa?

I would think its wise to provide the cohabitation anyway for the switch. The cohabitation documents were also required as part of my SET-LR application, I really don't know why.

1. You should continue to post your questions in your own topic please!!

2. She has no option but to switch to FLR(M) if you apply for long residence ILR, so not sure what your concerns are re 'prohibiting her from changing to FLR within the UK after living 3+ years). Probably best therefore to post in your own topic you already have or start one.

3. Before expiry of dependent visa.

Not needs for first spouse visa application which is different than SET-LR application.
