Re: Advisor for spouse visa extension

These are core, enhanced and premium. Core is free, enhanced is £70 and premium is £250. What is the advantage of these services as I am confident that my documentation satisfies the requirement on the Document Checklist and I will be able to scan and upload the documents if that is required. I wou...

Re: FLR(M) - Ltd Company Director advice required

I have been employed by a company since March 2020, but previously worked as director of my own LTD company from 2015 to March 2020. My CT600 therefore only applies to the period from Jan - Mar 2020, not a full year. So, how do I proceed? 1.) Submit as-is (full documentation from Jan 2019 on-wards ...

Re: Limited Company Director to Permanent Employment

Sorry, missed that you had submitted the application already. Your situation after the date of application doesn't really matter in terms of whether the requirements are met.

Re: British getting married in Venezuela, what docs do I need?

If you're asking about what documents you will need to get married in another country, I have absolutely no idea and this will likely depend on the country. Might be the wrong forum for that.

Re: ILR/FLR issue and next steps once clarified

Given the 30 month validity of the BRP and the fact that the initial spouse visa application must be made from outside the UK, it would seem the current visa is FLR. If your wife's 2017 visa application was rejected as invalid instead of refused, it is likely she would be considered as overstaying f...

Re: Someone help me ik confused

Does overtime count when sponsering a spouse? Or is it only based on contracted hours? Also if I started doing 40+hrs from today would I need to wait 6 months and show 6 months worth of payslips or 12months? You can include overtime as "an annualised 6-month average for the overtime which will be a...

Re: UK expat returning with Canadian wife scenario

Would UK Immigration have a problem with this plan? I don't think there's a guaranteed answer to that question. It's not really the intent of the visitor visa to be used in this manner and you might have issues with some of the eligibility requirements (you’ll leave the UK at the end of your visit,...

It's a fairly standard response they send. Just means they are still working on processing your application and it will take a bit longer to get a decision.

This isn't the most common category used for applying for a spouse visa, so you might find the number of people knowledgeable about the specifics of this category to be quite small.
