You have correct understanding. And in your case you won't need property inspection report.waleed205 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2019 3:37 pmWe jointly own 2-bedroom 1-living room Spam bathroom flat. We are husband, wife, and 2 sons. In this forum, I was advised by some people that the living room is counted as a room, hence 3-room sufficient for 5 people. No problem, and thanks to all for clarification. It is only 4 of us, and that's how I answered the question in the application.
I see that many people are doing "home inspections report" to confirm the space/area, etc. I did not do that. Did I miss it? or will I be asked to do it later during the application process?
Thanks
My usual words:
" Unless the immigration rules/personal circumstances are not changing the extension should be applied very close to BRP/visa expiry to avail the maximum length of visa to prevent every single possibility of any shortfall that may arise towards the qualifying period for ILR".
This one.Or the 1 month starts from the day they attach the vignette?
When you will be arrived at airport then airport immigration staff will definitely ask you about your sponsor. But on explaining your plan you will be alright. Ideally keep your marriage certificate and sponsor's passport copy handy.
As long as you have your vigenette on your passport, you can travel anytime within one month. If your wife joins you later and you want to travel first, that’s fine. Unlike some European visas, holding a vignette and subsequent spouse BRP doesn’t require to travel with the spouse all the time. If they ask you about documents at the UK border control, give them the letter where your visa was granted.
Not always. At least not in my case: they just saw the vignette after I handed over the acceptance letter and no question asked about my sponsor.
Usually there is question about it on the application form (not sure about new online form) that whether the sponsor/applicant will fly together or not/if yes then which date. Also the environment of airport such as whether any strike/delayed flight, shortage of airport staff, security alert (most occurring in now a days) etc may also lead to different experience which may not happen the previous day.
It would be sufficient if asked
Hi I hope you are well. It's actually 21 days from when you receive email. Does this mean it's definitely been accepted? My partner receive Denali and handed passport Friday? How long does it usually take to receive back? Can they also refuse if so would they really ask for passport? Thankswaleed205 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 28, 2019 5:57 pmThanks for the replica.
I’m trying to prepare a plan for moving and have the following questions,
When I submitted my bio at VFS and kept my passport, VFS staff told me if your visa is approved we will send you an email to bring your passport, you will have 28 days to bring passport otherwise your application is canceled.
Is this 28 days part of the 1 month vignette? Or the 1 month starts from the day they attach the vignette?
If I have to go ahead of my family(sponsor is my wife), will that be an issue? I.e arriving before my sponsors by about 2weeks. Do they need to call her when I land and confirm?
See also FLR(M) visa length 30 months or 33 months.waleed205 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2019 1:18 pmfew quick general questions:
Spouses get 2.5 year visa then renewable for another 2.5 years. Why do I see people talking about 33 months?
Where is the 33 month given ? Is it the expiry of BRP? Or I need to count 30 months from entry stamp even though the brp may be valid for longer?
Applying for extension is 28 days before expiry. Expiry of brp? Or expiry of 30 months from entry date?
I guess its an incorrect advice and even the authorities might not like or give this advice.
Any thoughts on this question?waleed205 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 2:54 pmI was hopeful that the process may take shorter time but it doesn’t, spouse visa outside UK.
- can I travel to UK with my Australian passport (same one I used for application) while pending application? I read that if someone lived in Uk and applies can’t travel but not sure the other way around?
Yes you can travel. But if during your visit your visa gets approved then you will have to return to collect it.waleed205 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2019 6:45 pmAny thoughts on this question?waleed205 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 2:54 pmI was hopeful that the process may take shorter time but it doesn’t, spouse visa outside UK.

You could potentially be refused entry as the IO will see that you have a pending settlement application and the might not allow you entry as a visitor and send you back.waleed205 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2019 6:45 pmAny thoughts on this question?waleed205 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 2:54 pmI was hopeful that the process may take shorter time but it doesn’t, spouse visa outside UK.

Maybe but unlikely. They send it to pretty much everyone, it's more an acknowledgement of receiving your application than anything else. Nothing you can do but wait and it's more likely than not they will take at least the quoted 12 week processing time.
Yes. It's a bad email template because it makes people think they have to submit something. As far as I can tell from others who have received it, they would have listed any specific missing documents in the email.
I know some others have weighed in but I just wanted to mention my experience here.
