I don't think this is a requirement for a spouse visa, as I never submitted this for mine or any of my applications with UKBA. Why do you think you need to submit a Police Clearance Certificate???

If you are applying in person at a PEO, you will enrol your biometrics as part of the process on the day. If you apply via the postal system, you will receive a letter at some point for you to enrol your biometrics at the Post Office. You don't need to do anything about biometrics before you apply. ...

Hi, I switched from Ancestral to Spouse in 2010. So it is definitely possible, in your case though, the timing will be the main thing as I was not an Ancestral Dependent but my own Ancestral Visa as it was the cheaper option at the time we moved to the UK compared to the cost of a spouse of british ...

No, you don't have to declare it, I certainly didn't declare my debt in my home country and was approved for BC. Just make sure you have no CCJs in the UK.

You need to declare any CRIMINAL convictions, for traffic offences or more serious offences.


Hope this helps.

Thanks

Another point to bear in mind is that the rules change all the time, Ancestry is one that hasn't really been touched as yet, but could in the future. You should focus on getting the initial visa first, with the docs and maintenance funds required, then once you are here and well into your residency ...

Why would you apply for an extension when you can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain after 5 years on initial visa. Previously extensions were required when Ancestry visas were only issued for 4 years, so people HAD to extend to make up 5 years residency requirement for ILR. This was changed and t...

Is the dependent applying with you for an extension and in the UK or from home country as a new visa??

It is form FLR(BID) to extend. You cannot apply for a new first time Ancestry visa from inside the UK.
