Re-using Trinity College B1 SELT Certificate

I've contacted Trinity College to ask if I can reuse the certificate for a FLR M application (the first extension after the initial 2.5 year application), and they said you might not need to prove the level of English again if the certificate was used within 2 years of the exam on a successful visa ...

Re: Guidance on Living Together statement

Yes. You will also be asked for evidence of any housing costs (rent and council tax), if any. As I've stated, currently living with family so do not have any housing costs, council tax is paid on our behalf by family, where we are staying. Basically, to have utilities, rent, broadband, etc, council ...

Re: Guidance on Living Together statement

Me and my civil partner will be applying for the marriage/civil partner visa in February. Currently we are living with family. I assume we will need a letter stating we have permission, and can confirm that to be true (dated no older than 28 days before we submit the online application)? I am not ...

Re: Guidance on Living Together statement

If you are married, there is NO 2 year living together requirement, which is for unmarried partner visas only. The evidence required is for the two years immediately preceding date of application and not future intentions. About this paragraph Can you clarify, that before the application is ...

Re: Guidance on Living Together statement

Thanks!

That gives me some hope. :D

Can anyone confirm for the first FLR M visa, as a civil partner, will they need the A2 test since they're applying within the UK?

It won't be the 6-month visa for a proposed civil partner, that needs just A1 English requirement.

Re: Guidance on Living Together statement

That is the correct link. That is what she applies for to switch to a spouse visa within the UK once the requirements are met. She is the partner applying to switch to a spouse visa because you are British. Sorry to bother, but I posted quite a lot of links. Can you clarify which one? The Youth ...

Re: Guidance on Living Together statement

The extract refers to you as the family member not the applicant for flr m. So if you had a work visa, she would have to apply for a different category dependent visa. It isn't referring to her applying for something else if you are British. Can you supply the correct page/document for FLR M then ...

Re: Guidance on Living Together statement

You have misunderstood. Of course you can switch, 100s have done it. Not sure where you got that extract from as you did not post the weblink. What "work visa" does your partner hold exactly?? There is more than one category. From: https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa The visa my partner holds for 2 ...

Re: Guidance on Living Together statement

I read somewhere on the FLR M visa route, it says you cannot switch from a work visa unless they are your dependant? E.G "When you cannot get a family visa In some circumstances you cannot apply for, or switch to, a family visa." "You cannot apply for a family visa if your family member is in the UK ...

Re: Guidance on Living Together statement

To sum up our case: For me (British Citizen) and my partner (from Hong Kong, in the UK on a work visa) to change jobs within 2 months to get 6 months employment history with a yearly income of over 19K per year. We'd look to go through the FLR M route, Category A? In be in a civil partnership and ...

Re: Guidance on Living Together statement

I am not even sure if the application should be submitted for FLR M or the fiance visa? (Remember, we're applying within the UK) It is FLR(M) spouse visa. You CANNOT apply for a 6 month fiance visa within the UK. Both of us are planning on changing jobs to make the 6 months employment requirement ...

Re: Guidance on Living Together statement

So you must be married before we apply? (In our case, before 11 months is up) No, I did not say that. You must either be married OR have 2 years minimum substantial documented proof of ' living in a relationship akin to marriage ' proving cohabitation and joint commitments. The timing is quite ...
