I have recently seen a few posts from people who entered the UK on a fiancé visa prior to 9th July 2012. They married and applied for FLR(m) after the 9th of July and have been granted FLR on the new rules. I think it's wrong because as a fiancé who can't work would base income on old rules. Paying ...

Yes, I should imagine by the time you qualify for ILR your English must be at level B1. Research the UKBA website for the level of English and bear in mind they keep changing it. I phoned Cambridge and they say new English Level rules will be changed in October 2013. I understand rules changes, but...

Thanks for posting.

My husband just phoned to say our documents are back but i couldnt make sense of what he was saying the letter said. He said we were refused under the old rules, even though we applied on 7 Sept with the correct app. but the letter goes on to say that they have endorsed our BRP anyway and have 30 m...

Hi all Just wanted to let you know that the UKBA told me today that our documents were posted to us yesterday and should be with us by tomorrow, and also DX left a card in the letterbox for my husband meaning that they tried to deliver his BRP and which in turn means that he has been granted his vi...

Very pleased for you.

This is the guidance for children. I am not sure how it applies to parents. You must have an income of at least £18,600. If you are sponsoring a child as well as a partner you will need an income of at least £22,400. For each additional child being sponsored you will need an additional income of £2,...

No, original copies must be submitted. Also submit copies and index and label everything.

It is better to be as current as possible. If applying in March then statements from February going back 6 months. If you leave gaps they may ask for these later. The above applies to payslips as well. Also letters from accounts paid at your UK address should also be current. When your spouse arrive...

I have finally taken the plunge after waiting 6 months to write a letter of complaint to my MP and then follow up with the Ombudsman. I have learnt from this forum that it seems to be a succesful route for some. Timeline May 2011 Refused entry into UK as told official I wanted to stay for 6 months w...

ESUSA - I applied the day before you, and came home from the shops today to find a red card from Royal Mail for a recorded delivery! Going to pick it up this afternoon; I really hope it's our documents!! Congrats to you though :D Was there good news? Please note on the skydrive you have duplicated ...

Well done ESUSA.
