Hello,
My wife is on the 5 year FLM(m) route and completed her ILR application at the centre in Croydon 3 days ago, submitting her application and biometric info to the Home Office.
We have recently discovered that we may have applied too early, given our understanding was that she could apply after living in the UK for 5 years.
- She entered the country on 21/06/2014
- We submitted the online application on 24/08/2019
- We completed the biometrics appointment on 11/09/2019
- Her current residence permit is valid until 09/12/2019
Can anyone advise what would be the next best action? We could leave the application to process and hope they look at it sometime after 2 weeks, falling inside of the 28 day validation period?
UKVCAS suggested contacting the Home Office, but I am wary that this may just cause her application to be rejected and lose the fee
Any help is most appreciated.
