Re: Home adress - Graduate Route

1. What should I pick: rent or other (explain my situation)? Either is fine. Try both and see what it asks for. 2. Is it going to affect my application? No. 3. Is my situation illegal? It depends.

Re: FLR application

The deadline for any application is the expiry date of your current visa.

There may be advantages or disadvantages to applying earlier, but without knowing what type of application for permission to stay you are doing it is impossible to say.

Just Masters. Thank you for comments.
If the course starts on or after 1 January 2024, which it appears that it would, you cannot bring dependants anyway, including your spouse.

Re: Community resolution

It depends what the question asks exactly.

If it asks exclusively about criminal offences, and you know for sure that this is not that, then it does not need to be mentioned. But if either the question or the status of the offence is not so clean cut, best to declare it.
