SPOUSE/PARTNER LEAVE TO REMAIN EXTENSION FROM INDIA

Post by vamshipss » Sun Sep 26, 2021 2:42 pm

Hi,
Could you please help me with some guidance for my current situation.

My wife entered UK on VISA TIER 2 PARTNER in November 2014. And applied for PBS DEPENDANT LEAVE TO REMAIN in April 2015.
And then applied for SPOUSE/PARTNER LEAVE TO REMAIN in March 2019 which is going to expire in end of oct 2021.

Me and my wife went on holiday to India in October 2019. Just few days before returning back to UK, my wife has some health issues and stayed back in Inida. I went to India in October 2020.

Because of my wife's health issues and COVID restrictions we are still in Inida.

Can she extend her visa in India?
If my wife is not able to extend her visa before the expiry date, is there any time limit to extend after the expiry date? Can she extend before she is able to travel back to UK?


Could you please help me with this. I really appreciate your help.

Thank you,
Vamshi

Can she extend her visa in India?
You cannot apply for extension outside the UK. Form FLR(M) is only for extension applications within the UK. A visa from abroad is an application for a new entry clearance visa. It is possible that her ILR clock will reset to zero.

Hi,
Thank you very much for replying.

What visa she needs to apply and how many years she get visa for?

Because of her health issues she may not be travelling back some time. Will there be any issues or limitations if she apply visa from India when she is ready to travel or after the expiry (other than ILR clock will reset to zero)?

Could you please provide any links to documentation or guidance.

Thank you,
Vamshi

The same spouse visa from abroad, meeting all the standard requirements.

https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/partner-spouse

She can apply at any time when she is ready. It will be a 2.5 year visa however the initial visa vignette in her passport will have a validity of 30 days or 90 days to facilitate entry to the UK and she then collects her BRP card at the nominated post office once she has arrived
