Can someone please advise me.... I need to apply for my wife's FLR(M). She arrived in the UK on a spouse visa in 2013 having met the A1 language requirement. The certificate was only valid for 2 years and therefore expired. Does she have to retake the A1 language test again to apply for FLR(M)? or w...

Dear Members, Hope you can help. My wife came to the UK on an initial 2.5 year visa (she was given as standard 2 years and 9 month visa). Visa start - 11/01/2013 Visa Ends - 11/10/2015 She has been out the country for a total of 79 days (visiting family in India) after she received the visa. I would...

You need to submit the original and photocopy with the application. UKBA need to see that your partner is clear of TB. If you don't submit the certificate your application will be refused.

If and when the visa is granted then your partner will also need to carry it to the UK when they travel here.

Dear huzaifapatel Please read the Q&A from the below link: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/partners-other-family/guidance-for-applicants.pdf From my understanding the IELTS course is set at B1 level, which is 2 levels higher than what is required for Spouse Visa. Therefore yo...

To put people's mind at rest, the language requirement only requires that you pass the speaking and listening part of the test. The other parts you can totally ignore and it would not matter. I would advise that if your partners have basic levels of English then the IELTS test would not be ideal for...

Thanks Srik.

I hope everybody on here gets the news they want soon. I know how hard it is to be continuously waiting.

Good Luck to you all!!!

At last....my wife has got her visa. Exactly 60 working days it took!!!!!!

@srik...congratulations!!!!

Your very lucky to get the visa so quickly.

Dont understand why it takes them so long for some applications and quickly for others.

Keep me in your thoughts and hopefully my wife will get her visa soon.

@aff_sha_1...mashallah!!!

I'm praying that with Allah (swt) help that my wife gets her visa. 60 days will up on 15th January 2013.

Please remember me & my wife in your duas.

@aff_sha_1... Congratulations!!!

Can i ask how many working days it took?

Found the same number after looking it up. Thanks Srik.

Will try and email first and then call them next week, if they take my call.

Not sure how the BHC is in Delhi but reading this forum it seems that they are not that friendly!!!! Mumbai BHC seems a lot better.

Does anybody know if BHC in Delhi can be contacted by phone with regards to Settlement Visa applications? and if so what is their number?

I just need to know if my wife's application is under process as VFS are unable to tell me anything!!!

@srik...I have emailed them but they keep sending a standard reply about processing times!!!!

Does anybody have a number for them??

i applied at the Kolkata VFS office
