FLR (fp) can take months. Or more if there is an appeal process at the end of it.Orogenus wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 10:45 amthanks for your reply
So, basically, how long does this FLR FP thing take to reach a decision? If it’s more than 100 days I definitely prefer going back to Canada, I can’t afford shutting down my business longer than a season. Problem is, if I can’t be back into UK before next March, I’m missing our ivf treatment, that’s unrecoverable, too

I just found out today that I missed my expiry to switch from 5 year spouse route to ILR.
The spouse visa expired on 12 Oct, now it’s nearly a month from expiry
We have problems producing children and are currently undergoing fertility treatment, IVF scheduled in early time of next year .
The OP's wife (who is undergoing IVF treatment) is settled in the UK and not under Immigration control.JB007 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2019 1:57 pmFrom https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... ations.pdfOrogenus wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 4:53 am

Using the NHS bill free after paying the Immigration Health Surcharge for your visa, ended when your visa expired.
5.8 on page 36
"An individual who pays for the health surcharge is only entitled to free treatment once their application for a visa has been granted, and not from the date when the health surcharge is paid. The exemption from charges for relevant services applies to the period of leave to enter or remain in the UK granted to the person. Once that leave expires or is curtailed, the person becomes liable for charges from then on,including where the person is part-way through a course of treatment.
From the same documement, this states that the payment of the Immigration Helath Surcharge does not allow bill free IVF.
5.3 on Page 35
"Most of these groups also receive relevant services on a similar basis as an ordinarily resident person, again with the exception of assisted conception services from 21 August 2017."
In ivf, the 'patient' is the couple. There would be a cost to his side of things (sperm samples, collection, analysis etc. not sure how icsi would be considered if that's part of their treatment).
I wasn't sure if they are paying privately for IVF as he said this-physicskate wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2019 2:44 pmIn ivf, the 'patient' is the couple.

However, the op already said they are having ivf privately and not on the nhs - so everything is paid for by the patient couple. Or did he not say this?
Does that mean his wife is just under age 40 and this is why it is the "last shot" as they want to use the NHS?Orogenus wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 4:53 amWe have problems producing children and are currently undergoing fertility treatment, IVF scheduled in early time of next year . Considering our age, (NHS won’t take in women over 40 in fertility treatment for their own life risks), physical condition and how hard it is to queue for fertility treatment, this’s going to be the last shot for us to have child. If I am not able to be present at the time of her surgery , end of a dream to have any kids ourselves .
In Scotland, you get one funded cycle between ages 40-42, so not sure where the op thinks the age limit is 40 in Scotland? There are not such strict age limits if funding privately. I have heard of many women in their late 40s doing ivf (although most would be using donor eggs at that age). Even so, this does not apply to the partner that pays the IHS, as their 'portion' (although not sure how it is portioned as in ivf the couple is treated, not the individual) of treatment must be paid for.JB007 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2019 3:20 pmI wasn't sure if they are paying privately for IVF as he said this-physicskate wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2019 2:44 pmIn ivf, the 'patient' is the couple.

Does privately paid IVF have an age limit?
In any event, the OP should think about buying private healthcare insurance for himself now that his visa has expired.
