Hi all, I hope you can help, I have checked but couldnt find an answer to my dilema. We are due to make my ILR visa application in a couple of days, but just realised that my wife's (my sponsor for my spouse visa) passport has expired. It expired in 2017, and was accepted for my FLR application in 2...

Thank you CR001

Thanks for the reply! Wow, that's good news! I thought we would be put on the 10 year route that I've read about. Please can you tell me, should I explain in the cover letter that I'm applying to extend my visa on FLR M as I'm unable to meet the requirements for ILR. Can you also please confirm if I...

Thanks for the reply CR001 :D Are you able to confirm if this would then put me on the 10 year spouse visa route? Would I apply for another FLR M in 2.5 years and then my ILR in 10 years? From reading the boards here I thought I had to apply on the FLR FP form, is this also an option or only do on t...

I got my results today....i Failed my B1 eng. test.
I will try again but can someone advise on my options if I'm unable to pass please?
Many Thanks!

Hi, I entered the UK in April 2016 on a spouse visa 5 year route, and successfully extended my visa in 2019. I am now due to apply for ILR (visa expires in Sept 2021) but I'm worried about what to do if I can't pass my English exam. Can I automatically apply to switch to the 10 year route? What form...

Thanks for the reply.
It was at the beginning of Jan if I remember so e were within time. The date lag must have been due to application time I think?
I was asking if I had overstayed because I haven't yet applied for ILR but my 5 years are complete.
Sorry for any confusion.

Awesome!
Thank you so much for the reassurance, that's how we understood it but we were panicking a little
Now off to trawl the boards for more great advice and help on the application process.

Hi and thank you both for your replies. I wanted to check that that is the earliest I could apply but that I have until the visa 'valid until' date at the latest? We have been planning for 28 days before the BRP expires (which we are now realising is incorrect :roll: ) and don't yet have exams booke...

Also please clarify if I have already overstayed? Hi. I applied for my original visa from my home country of Chile at the beginning of 2016. My original entry visa sticker in passport was valid from 21.04.2016 until 21.05.2016 and I entered the UK on 22.04.2016. My first residence permit was issued ...
