Can I request my passport and other important documents I'd need for my own use back before they make a decision without jeopardising my spouses application?
Are you sure they send everything back together?? What if I ask for my GB passport back and driving licence... Will this lengthen the application or hinder it in any way? Obviously I have to leave my spouses passport.
I made a ILR spouse application on form set m - when do they send back documents that were submitted in support of the visa? It has been 2 weeks since application made.
Hi- Can you tell me if you received your documents back before your hubby's passport or everything together? I have a application submitted on 16/12/2010 and payment was taken on 19/12 & letter stating app received dated 23/12... I sent a massive file of papers with driving licences passports etc. W...
Thanks for your feedback. HRY2005 - You say the only exception you know of in my case is 'tax credits'... I am under the impression my partner can claim Carers Allowance too... Can someone clarify this point as there must be hundreds in a similar situation and probably do look to these forums as a s...
HRY2005 / AVJONES - If you read this thread carefully you will see the answers to your doubts very quickly... im looking for well informed answers and a response that is well educated as per info provided. The only benefits my partner gets as per no recourse to public funds is... ie: Carers Allowanc...
Really need to make a decision by weekend so that application can be submitted next week! I have emailed UKBA and await their response as to what form I should use... But Im quite happy to use any form as I realise I am outside the rules but also know they will have to make a decision taking into co...
Thanks AVJones.... Its making more sense now... So for example, we apply via FLR O, submit good documents and explanations and in a roundabout way avoid the maintenance criteria and get further leave for other reasons and at a later date apply for spousal settlement? My mother declaring she helps wi...
Thanks Guys for the advice!! In regards to the correct form to use - I have emailed UKBA for advice and for them to clarify their position so I have some form of comeback if rejected. I believe all the benefits I receive are based on my own reasons and not partners. Strange as it seems but we manage...
OK... Im a bit confused now.. Can I or cant I make any form of application for my partner to further her leave? any Form? while im on benefits.. ? Does anyone have a link to this info on UKBA site? Who is the general authority on this in this forum.... or is everyone just relating thier own personal...
HRY2005 - My solicitor advised me that because we are outside of rules, I will have to make proper representation in regards to why this happened and advised me this would be the case on any of the forms that we would use. Basically he advised that because we are asking the HO for discretion if they...
OK... been and seen a IAS advisor and basically advised me to apply on FORM FLR M due to the fact she is a spouse. Explain the situation in letter format in regards to the overstaying part. ie: we didnt know the rules and thought we would apply for UK British Citizenship, 3 yr rule. Explain in lette...

HRY2005 - Your guidance notes differ from the official FLR O guidance notes.. Are the guidance notes you linked concerning DL also valid and upto date as of now?
Thanks All for the help and advice - Really appreciated! Ive obviously been looking into this and doing loads of reading on legislation, guidlines etc. An interesting point and possible avenue of application is the route regarding 'Article 8 ECHR' where the guidlines suggest if an applicant has an e...
Thanks for the help so far... DL = what? If I just told them the truth and said it was a mis-hap, whats the likelyhood of them extending leave for a temporary term again?? To breakup the family and have 1 partner overseas with a baby involved seems so so harsh... I would be devastated if that would ...
Elena W - How could her going back to India and re-applying for spouse visa be possible due to me being on benefits? Plus, we have a baby 30 months old who is still dependant on her mother ( night and day bursts of breastfeeding ). Im sure the amount of paperwork needed for a fresh application for a...
Al1 - Thanks for the info... Will be contacting them and see if they can help,not sure if I qualify for the free service, because my partner has no recourse to public funds. Vinny - Yes & No - She has passed the ESOL with UK life and culture content from a accredited learning academy. Her certificat...
Help !!!!!!! Does anyone have any further advice to add to this or is it just a case of getting professional legal advice now? Q. Surely my partner isnt the first to have overstayed her first spouse visa... Rather than go back to India and reapply for spouse visa, what FORMS would she need to submit...
Hi Ali... From reading the small print on forms, I am under the impression because your partner is outside of the immigration rules they would have to satisfy the total commitment of 2 years unbroken stay in the UK before applying for ILR. This is what I belive to be called the probationary period. ...
Thanks for the heads up!! I am thinking of applying while wife is in UK. Im sure I will put up a valid argument regarding the overstaying part and hope compassion is shown. My other concern centres around me still on benefits.... Will a refusal happen due to me claiming the said benefits? Has anyone...
