Ihi, i had to go through similar circumstances. I am going to explain what i did, and i am sure that will give you an idea on what needs to be done. When we got separated, Firstly, i had an informal agreement with my ex about child custody(staying 2 nights a week with me after school and dropping hi...

Based on my own experience of changing from spouse visa to parent route. First be sure about whether your relationship has ended or not. If you think it can still be mended and you can get back together then nothing has changed. But if you believe it has ended for good then you should inform ukvi ab...

Don't jump the queue buddy. One can't and shouldn't give advice without knowing some immigration history assuming something, even if question looks simple. Op might have been through various immigration turns! And regarding your advice to the op is clearly wrong! Flr fp doesn't require £18600 income...

What was the reason that they didn't grant you on 5 years parent route in your first application?
Would you mind sharing your immigration background to understand your situation and advise as per that circumstances.

I have seen few post regarding returning of old brp , if not there is potential £1000 fine. Does this only applies to citizenship matters or our regular visa situation too? I can't see anything on gov website nor my decision letter suggest anything on this matter, i don't know what to do? I would re...

Congratulations.

It is highly likely that if your surname is wrong on the visa letter it will be the same on your BRP. The name entry at the start of the application process follows the case on the systems. Rarely are letters populated by manual entry by caseworkers.

But it is wait and see....

Thank you.

Hi

Normally child maintenance doesn't affect any universal credit. https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/how-child-maintenance-affects-benefits Anyway, you probably can use bank transfer for future evidence for next extension. Its a choice. Solicitors isn't necessarily needed if the case isn't complicat...

You said you got separated in 2018 and not living together in a subsisting relationship then definitely she isn't your partner for immigration purpose. (I guess you haven't let the ukvi know about your separation and if that has any impact i am not sure. It wasn't spouse visa so hopefully you are ok...

Yes both of us are on ten years route, after the home office grant me and my child. The other parent made application to home office separately and it was also granted for ten years parent route on the basis of our child, at that time we live separately in different adress. We all live in the same a...

'My previous grant application was on 7 years sole parent ten years route and my child other parent wasn't living with us at that time, and both of us are on ten years parent route. ' Are you sure you both are on parent route because as i understand parent route, if you were sole parent and got gran...

"The parent route is not for couples who are in a genuine and subsisting partner relationship. An applicant cannot meet the parent route if they are or will be eligible to apply under the partner route". wow, that is so unfair! You are not in subsisting relationship with child's other pare...

So hopefully, once she gets are registration approval I be able to switch to 5 years if that's is correct. Parent route is only for those people whose relationship with their British spouse broken down but they have a child together. In that case migrant parent can apply as a parent of a British chi...

Switching to 5 years route from 10 years only applies to spouse or parent of British citizens whose initial grant was under flr fp 10 years route .

Therefore, in your case grant under 10 year looks right. And you can not switch to 5 years route.

I don't know your immigration background. But if you had applied and granted leave under private life( child living in the uk over 7 years as you have mentioned). There is no provision of switching to 5 years route as stated on the guidance.

Hi,

Applied for extension under parent 5 years route. It looks may take another few months for decision.
Can i change my job while application is pending?
Do i need to let ukvi know if i find a new job and start working there?
Many thanks.

now we waiting for some Christmas Santa to deliver our surprise 😀 [/quote] Our timeline looks 1 week apart. My one is extension too. You would think that extension would be straightforward and quick decision but no its too much to ask from ukvi. My last 3 applications were ' same day service ', so t...

It's actually 6 months for FLR FP. 8 weeks are for flr m [/quote] Its 8 weeks for flr fp under family life. It could be 6 months for private life and other grounds. https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa My application is parent route and it says that i should get the decision within 8 weekw on applicati...

Wow that is outrageous! have you tried calling them. I appreciate its covid and they are under pressure but 6 months is more than enough time for them to make a decision when actual standard service timeframe is only 8 weeks!! Its been 10 weeks since biometric on mine case. Not a word yet. But i am ...

Hi, Applied om 10 September In person biometric on 26 September Haven't heard a word from ukvi yet. When i applied it said 8 weeks from the date of application. And its been 11 weeks. And over 8 weeks from biometric date. Also, i haven't seen much flr m or flr fp reported on the forum. Flr fp timeli...

Isn't the case if you meet all the requirements under parent route except adequate maintenance or English language , you still should get a grant under 10 years route.
