Thanks haiksuresh

Hi, if a spouse of a British citizen has now been in the UK for 3 years, but waited nearly a year for the postal FLR(M) to be issued and therefore still has to wait a year before they can apply for ILR, can they apply for citizenship before they are eligible to apply for ILR? This is under the old r...

...any advice, gurus?

Hi, hope someone can help with a quick question.

If you're applying for Set(M) under the old rules, and the appllicant is self employed, are there any additional documents that would be needed because of this???

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm already doing as you advised. Anyone else had this problem?

Hi all, a question about the set(m) application form - each time I print it, it cuts off the page number bit at the bottom - anyone had the same issue? I've tried changing the print settings but it doesn't make a difference - will that be a problem?

I've printed the set(m) form out a number of times now, and the page number bit at the bottom is always cut off - I've reset parameters etc, but this doesn't get the page number in. Is that acceptable or could this be grounds for refusal at a PEO? On the printout, the text is dark although not jet b...

In our case we answered: 2.21 No (as we are married to each other) 2.22 Yes (as one of us was previously married) 2.23 states we therefore have to provide the divorce and marriage docs again, and does not state that we are exempt from doing so if we already provided this for the FLR(M) (unlike 11B w...

Hi All, My query relates to Set(M): 2.23 - 'provide original copies of divorce' 11B - 'only provide marriage/previous divorce documents if last granted leave was as an unmarried partner' 11B appears to contradict 2.23. Since we provided the marriage and previous divorce documents for the FLR(M) 2 ye...

Nope, we'll be doing it in person this time - had enough of a near on 6-month nightmare waiting for the postal flr(m)!

Hi, check out this thread, it has all the dates http://www.immigrationboards.com/indefi ... -6520.html

Hi zubair_hr, take a look at this post http://www.immigrationboards.com/indefi ... -6520.html

Thanks physicskate.

Am I right in thinking I DON'T need to provide the marriage documents again for section 11B of Set(m)?

Could someone please help clarify my understanding of Set(M) form, section 11B: If my spouse originally came to the UK on a fiance visa, and we married in the UK before getting the FLR(M) in the UK, will we need to provide any evidence in section 11B (the marriage certificate and/or documents about ...

Hi Is there any friend who applied for ILR last march and receive any response From home office? Last month I called Home office they informed they are Processing February application . If anybody receive any decision please Share your experience . Regards Diponkar Nath This thread http://www.immig...

Thanks WR1. Guess the hunt will continue. Am I right in thinking they also release extra appointments a week or two in advance?

Has anyone been able to book newly released appointments at the Bham Solihull office recently? I've seen new ones released for all other offices, but never for the Solihull one. Do they release less appointments for this office, or are they literally snapped up within seconds? Secondly, are all offi...

Thanks Amber. Partner's English test was aced, and now just getting ready to do the LIUK :roll: So, even though the spouse visa was applied for in May 2012 but not issued until Oct 2012, we are still on the 2-year ILR route? Is it as simple as knowing that if the spouse visa was issued for 2 years, ...

Hi All, I was pretty sure about my partner's visa route, but after reading some posts here I would like some confirmation... Brief history: Fiance visa issued abroad: 2011 Date of first entry in UK: 2011 (same month as visa issued) Fiance visa expired: June 2012 Spouse visa FLR(M) applied for and ac...

Wondering if anyone can help clarify something for me and my OH - I've looked at the gov's website, but as usual their information is limited/confusing/incomplete (I'm sure they do this intentionally). Anyway, in prep for an ILR application, do you only need to pass a speaking and listening test to ...

Thanks guys, very much appreciated.

If I book tickets before we apply for the visa, can anyone help with timescales? I've read that visas are generally processed within 2 weeks - is that true? Can it take longer depending on the non-EU spouse's nationality?

Thanks. Would travel insurance be a requirement?

Thanks for the confirmation.

I don't want to book flights until I'm sure we get the visa - do you think it will be enough to hand in the passports, marriage certificate and application form?

We expect to visit Europe a lot - any idea what the longest visa is they'd issue for a first application?

Dear All, I am British, living in the UK with my non-EU spouse who has a residence permit for 2 years following their FLR(M) application. The card doesn't state my name on it. We want to go to France on holiday, and from everything I've read on the TLS website I understand we will need to pay for a ...
