1. Maybe, but I wouldn't rely on it. With super priority you should get a decision the next working day, but this isn't guaranteed. Appointment availability for FLR(M) applications appears to be limited across the whole country, so it might be a bit before you get one and the BRP will take a week to 10 days to get sent to you.

4. Not really. Your wife would have to apply online from within the UK. Travel outside the UK after the application has been submitted results in a withdrawal of the application.

2. Depends. If the FLR(FP) visa was granted on the basis of being your partner, you will have to provide evidence of cohabitation since the last visa was granted (E-LTRP.1.10. in Appendix FM). This requires correspondence sent to you jointly (6 pieces) or individually (12 pieces total - 6 sent to each person) or a combination. THe list of acceptable correspondence is long and includes letters sent from pretty much any official source (council, government, utilities, GPs, NHS, banks, etc.).

3. Evidence of meeting the financial requirements. Evidence of residence and cohabitation. Evidence of meeting the English Language requirement. Marriage certificate. Passport and BRP of applicant and copy of sponsor's passport.

Many thanks geoeng ♡♡♡.

My wife took the visa flr fp only for one time after my child registered as British. So you can say parent or partner. I completely don't understand this ELTRP etc.. very sorry

She's on 10 year route Flr fp which i belive parent route i think.

Now issue is i don't have 12 or 6 DOCUMENTS on her name or joint name. I got may b 6 on my name. So i am confuse what should i do.? She have gp letter which can confirm when she gor register on gp like 2013 uptil now.
And she have waterbill for last two year and that's it.


The worst case is if i go flr fp extension can i choose flr fp on super priority ?


Lastly some one said to me on forum or i think i was reading thread that. when any apply first time FLRM then you don't need 12/6 documents etc requirement.

Regards

Many thanks

I would agree, but in that case the OP was in the UK on a PBS visa rather than one dependent on a partner and Appendix FM states that for FLR applications as a partner, evidence of cohabitation is required. The requirements for FLR as a parent are a bit different which is why it matters what the previous visa was based on.

2 years of cohabitation evidences wont be needed for first phase of spouse visa rather any proof of address/residence either addressed individually or jointly will be sufficient.

There are several threads available which you can search yourself. A lot of members have switched from other visas such as tier4/tier2/youth mobility to Flrm without having 2 years of cohabitation because these are needed at the time of extension. For initial phase of spouse visa you only need to supply subsisting relationship evidences for which any number of documents either individually or jointly are addressed will meet the requirement and also if you both live apart then proof of communication such as email, whatsapp voice/video call records will be needed.

"E-LTRP.1.10. The applicant and their partner must intend to live together permanently in the UK and, in any application for further leave to remain as a partner (except where the applicant is in the UK as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner) and in any application for indefinite leave to remain as a partner, the applicant must provide evidence that, since entry clearance as a partner was granted under paragraph D-ECP1.1. or since the last grant of limited leave to remain as a partner, the applicant and their partner have lived together in the UK or there is good reason, consistent with a continuing intention to live together permanently in the UK, for any period in which they have not done so."

Not disagreeing with seagul, but if your wife's current FLR(FP) is based on being your partner, then I believe you will have to provide evidence of cohabitation based on the above paragraph obtained from the link posted. If the visa is based on being a parent, then I entirely agree that proof of residence alone would be sufficient along with proof of communication.

Honestly, those documents should be fine for meeting either the cohabitation requirement or just proving residence. There's enough there and they're from reasonable sources so you should be fine.

Which exact situation isn't clear when op is applying for flrm because now he can meet the requirement which is a faster route towards ILR than flrfp.

You should post in public so that all members can offer advice and any incorrect advice can be corrected.

You can post it on the public forum, no need to be secretive, just don't name the solicitor.
