Hi, Hoping someone can clarify. I have completed the online form for FLR (M) and at the end of the checklist it says to post my supporting documents along with the checklist to: Family 2 and 5 year Standard, PO BOX 3468, Sheffield, S3 8WA. However i have read everywhere else that the documents shoul...

Hi All, I just had a very quick question. I have today completed the application for my wifes FLR (M) - at the end of the application i was told to print out a biometric enrollment letter and take this to the post office within 15 days - thats all fine but from reading previous posts it sounded like...

Hi, I just had 2 really quick questions about the FLR(M) 1. As long as i send all original documents is there any need to involve a solicitor, the FLR fee is high enough as it is and i would rather gather all the paperwork and complete the form myself without having to pay a solicitor to stamp anyth...

Hi Both,

Thanks for your responses.

My wife arrived in the country on the 10th February 2016.

We will be applying using FLR (M)

Thanks

Hi, I was hoping someone could help, i just had a few questions about FLR that i couldn't answer from going through the forum. My wife's initial Leave to Remain expires on the 4th November so i know we need to apply for her FLR around 4 weeks beforehand, she has passed her A2 Selt Exam and we have t...

Hi all, Please could someone point me in the direction of a guide for applying for FLR, my wife was granted her initial visa back in Feb, i know we have a long time before i need to apply for FLR but i'd like to get clued up now, at the moment i have no idea what we need to do in terms of an English...

Hi there,

It's not 3 months, my wife's VISA was valid for 30 days and yours will be the same.

Hope this helps.

Thanks both

Hi,

Yep she's going from Pakistan to UAE and then coming into England.

Ah so even if she doesn't pick up a card before landing she can fill one out at Immigration check in the UK? I wasn't sure if it needed to be done before she landed like some kind of weird rule.

Hi guys, Sorry if this is the wrong forum but just a quick question, because of the PIA strike in Pakistan my wife is coming to the UK via Etihad Airlines, i just wanted to know if they bring around a landing card for non EU passport holders or whether she will need to ask for one? Also is it actual...

Hey,

I would escalate again, sometimes the decision from Sheffield to the VAC is painfully slow, my decision was made on the 4th January and my wife got a call on the 20th Jan. so 16 days in total.

I would call rather than email if you can. Thats what i did and it seemed to push them a bit more.

Hey,

I think if you're working and your income is £12,500 you only need £31,250 in savings not the full £62,500.

yes of course. I was planning to rent a 3 bed house by june onwards as I dont see a point renting it 2-3 months earlier ! Hi, Unfortunately the Home Office need you to meet all the requirements BEFORE you apply for the VISA. It's like saying that you dont need £18,600 to live on but that you'll fin...

Yeah, it would be so helpful to everyone, i think there's a reason the timeline thread turns into a general discussion, I'm sure we could start one now but i just don't want to risk it being locked or deleted.

Hope someone reads this today

Would it be possible to start a thread for spouse visa applicants from Pakistan, we are by far the biggest contributor to this site and it would be really nice to just have a thread to ask general questions and keep each other updated. It would save people posting questions on a new thread that they...

Hi all, I have searched this thread but cant seem to find a link that i do remember seeing a few months ago to a email form that allowed you to submit if you have had documents returned but some are missing. The only one i can find is one with the initial request to ask for documents back but nothin...

Hi Rana781, No, you're account being overdrawn shouldn't be taken into consideration by the Entry Clearance Officer, as long as you're salary is paid into your bank account every month - for at least 6 months, meaning if you started this job in October and assuming your first payslip was in November...

It was a really helpful thread and it would be nice to be able to use it again or in the time being atleast let us start a temporary thread.

Have you called the UKVI?

The lady today told me if i dont hear anything in 2 weeks to call them and they will escalate for me.

It looks like they've reached early October which is good news i suppose, just getting so tired from waiting now

Ah okay, have you had a refund for the NHS charge?

Hi all, So i called UKVI today for an update and the lady has said a decision was made on the 4th January, i haven't had an email just yet and my wife in Pakistan hasn't had a call either. I asked if she could tell me what the decision was and she said she shouldn't really but that it was "good news...

Hi All, Basically I was wondering once visa is approved or rejected or whatever the status may be who finds out first? And in which order does the sequence occur? I.e collection of passport, when I receive documents, when they notify her, when do I get notified and how. Online Application: 05/11/20...
