OP has only recently returned to the UK and would likely fail the Habitual residence test for many of the benefits or universal credit.
Right, if only I'd prefaced my question by saying it was unlikely.

Re: Domestic Violence Whilst on Spousal Visa

Ok, in this particular case, an allegation was made to the police and insufficient evidence was found and the case was closed. Can a police report still be considered sufficient evidence? Also, the couple only lived together 3 or 4 months. Is that enough time to apply for ILR on DV? What is conside...

Re: FLR-FP switching to FLRM(Documents inside uk)

2. Depends. If the FLR(FP) visa was granted on the basis of being your partner, you will have to provide evidence of cohabitation since the last visa was granted (E-LTRP.1.10. in Appendix FM). This requires correspondence sent to you jointly (6 pieces) or individually (12 pieces total - 6 sent to ea...

Thanks. So it's possible to hold a tourist visa while the fiance visa is being processed? Or is this moot due to the passport being required? How long is that for usually? You usually have to submit the passport with the application so would be unable to travel. There is typically a service you can...

Re: Spouse Visa - Income requirement

Depending on your personal circumstances and eligibility, you may also want to consider including your partner under the EU Settlement Scheme, which appears to accept both spouses and unmarried partners of EU citizens.
