Not yet. I have emailed a solicitor, hopefully they will reply shortly and I will let you know. If we don't hear from them by end of next week then I will get him to call Home Office and see if they can clarify things for us.

Can I apply for ILR 5 Years into 10 year FLR(Fp) private life route

About my husband. His FLR(FP) on the basis of private life, 3rd extension is due in Jan 2023 and with this new immigration rule that's been announced June 2022, I am confused as to whether he can now apply for ILR after he has completed 5 years out of 10 years instead of continuing on FLR(FP) for an...

Re: English Language Requirement for FLR(M) query

Thanks everyone for your response so far. So upon looking into FLR(M), we have found out that my husband can be exempted from taking an English Language test due to covid. We feel he fits the exemption criteria as 1) unable to book a test due to covid, and 2) cannot travel as we are still in lockdow...

My husbands visa expires next month, and we have tried to find courses to take the A1 SELT Grade 2 before then, however the only available dates are in September. He has got a bach...

To avoid a shortfall later on, he should apply within 28 days of 30 months. But if you want to apply a bit earlier, you can.

There is no template letter. You don't even need a letter as the form asks for the relevant information.

Re: Council house tenancy contract

That’s odd. You must be the main tenant in the house and add her as an “occupant”. She cannot be named as a second tenant as that means she is in breach of her visa conditions. Have you explained that you want to add her as an occupant only, not as a tenant? I’m sure you can rectify this fully! Noth...

Re: Universal Credit

No it will not. Her application will get rejected once they assess it and will class it as a single application/claimant (yourself). You must put both of your name and details down as joint application though!

Re: FLR(M) application, claiming childcare element of Universal Credit

Thanks for your reply. I’ve already explored other avenues and the tax free childcare we’ve already used and it isn’t benefiting us much. They only pay 20% of the childcare costs which still doesn’t give us enough income to cover bills or run our vehicles to get to work each month. The 85% childcar...
