Dates on supporting documents and ILR application

Can I submit my application on the 1st of a month, then wait for the bank statement to arrive on the 7th and the latest payslip with confirmation of employment/payslips on the 15th of the month? What's the time I have between the submission of the application and uploading? I want to ensure that doc...

Congratulations. just saw that your decision has come through. :)

Thanks

Re: Booking/rebooking UKVCAS appointments and the IDV app invite

The application is for FLR(m) extension, after the initial 2.5 years FLR(m), so they already have all the biometric data. The main part here is about the IDV app. I'm waiting for the email from UKVCAS to say "Download the IDV app now" and if I won't get it within 14 days, then I will email them. The...

Booking/rebooking UKVCAS appointments and the IDV app invite

Does anyone have experience with booking/rebooking free appointments? If I book an appointment with UKVCAS, can I still receive the invite to use the IDV app? Would one prevent the other? Can I also cancel the appointment and rebook it for later? The free appointments are going quick and from what I...

Re: FLR(m) extension - Details of time spent outside the UK

Thanks! What about the next question: "Please choose the reason you are applying for an extension, this includes if you are switching to a partner visa from another type." There are 2 options I see that can fit: "First extension as a partner (following an initial period of entry as a partner, or as ...

Thanks for the response. Is this the first time you have applied for a partner route, or an extension, with your current partner (including as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner)? This is quite a confusing question. The application is for the FLR(m) extension/spouse visa. Should I answer Yes? "Is...

When it comes to cohabitation, should I include proofs from the last 2 years or from the 2.5 years, since the last visa was issued?

Re: FLR(m) extension - Details of time spent outside the UK

Thanks for all the answers.

You're right, I've confused ILR and Citizenship thinking they are parallel routes. The ILR first regardless and citizenship is the next step but optional.

Re: FLR(m) extension - Details of time spent outside the UK

No, you cannot pay it in advance. It is payable as part of the online application. Yes, as part of the online application, before submitting it, I'd like to pay the IHS surcharge, a week or so ahead and a week later or two submit the online application form itself. The question is if paying for the...

Re: FLR(m) extension - Details of time spent outside the UK

Thanks... moving on to the English language requirements.

The last time A1 was valid for 2 years. FLR(m) extension requires A2.

Is there a way to pass B1 now so it is valid when the time comes for ILR in 2.5 years?

Yes, ICT2, then FLR(m) and now FLR(m) extension.

FLR(m) extension - Details of time spent outside the UK

Hi

I'm filling in the online form for FLR(m) extension.

On the question Details of the time spent outside the UK should I only include the last 2.5 years since the first FLR(m) visa was granted or should I include details since arriving in the UK - additional 2 years?

Thanks

Re: FLR(M) Renewal & New Tenancy Agreement

Thanks AmazonianX for the clarification.

So the renewal of FLR (M) or 1st extension will have our new tenancy agreement as cohabitation proof.

Thanks for your inputs too TODMATT.

Re: FLR(M) Renewal & New Tenancy Agreement

Is it enough if the tenancy agreement includes an address, the number of bedrooms and that the property is for the exclusive use of both tenants above (with our names listed above)? The tenancy agreement must show names and address for it to be considered as a proof of cohabitation. Thanks TODMATT ...

FLR(M) Renewal & New Tenancy Agreement

Hi All
I have to apply for renewal/1st extension of FLR (M) in December 2021.

We are moving to a new rental in May 2021. What should the tenancy agreement mention/ or not mention as proof of our cohabitation or address proof please?

Thank you
