Yes they do. If you need your passport, then best would be to apply in person for a same day decision.

is there a possibility to apply for extension under Tier 1 (PBS) System at the end of her current visa tenure (FEB 2016) ? There is no requirement that your spouse has to switch to FLR(M). Your spouse can continue to extend on PBS Dependent form until meeting the 5 year requirement. If she switches...

It needs to be English A1 from an approved test provider on this list (click), so it depends on which country your wife is applying from and what is available there.

Waterfall wrote:Am I right in thinking that you must have 3 months left on your visa for FLR(M)?

No, you are not correct. You can apply for FL(M) on the last day the fiance visa is valid for if you want (although not usually advised to cut it so fine)

Does she already have a spouse visa?

Your post is unclear on whether she is applying or what she needs on arrival.

How about if recently naturalizatiinist travel abroad and have no British partner, can he/she be able to arrange its ceremony abroad and receive passport from local British high commission?? No, if you have been approved, you will need to attend the ceremony in the UK to receive your certificate. Y...

Seem ok. What about any NHS letters, HMRC letters, mobile phone bills, tenancy agreements........

I understand that we must prove we live together (usually 2 years) with evidence that shows both our names etc Not a requirement if applying from a fiance visa to FLR(M). The FLR(M) form is used for various types of applications (unmarried partner, spouse visa extensions and new applications follow...

is the continuous period for long term residence its a different calculation ?.

As long as there is no single absence that is more than 180 days.

Does the 540 days outside the UK throughout the whole 10 year period count vacation ?

540 days includes ALL absences.

Your wife does not have to apply at the same time as you. She can apply at any time when she returns provided her absences are within the limit. December is a bad time for postal service, high risk that you won't get biometrics before you travel. You do realise that your wife has a timeframe by whic...

Ahhh, thank you Sushdmehta

Yes, but some members have waited more than a month for biometric letters and recently one member posted they came back from holiday abroad to find they had missed the deadline for biometrics as letter arrived while they were away. Any reason why you don't wait and apply for citizenship once you are...

Your visa will be curtailed, ie cancelled once your employer notifies HO that you have resigned/left the their employment. You will have a limited timeframe to apply for a new visa once your visa is curtailed/cancelled. Manci or Sushdmehta might be best to advise you. Your new employer will still ne...

Q1 - no, you don't fill it in because you have already paid. Make sure you take your proof of payment email with you. Q2 - Use an extra sheet of paper if there is not enough space. Q3 - Just write the reason. You have already been advised that reasonable absences do not require an explanation. Q4 - ...

Date of ILR approval should be fine although many people wait for 12 months from the date of the BRP.

Does your wife have 5 years residence??

How long do you plan on being out of the UK?

When does your current visa expired?

If you apply from outside the UK, it is a new entry clearance visa and if you resign, your current employer is obligated to inform Home Office and your visa will be curtailed.

Suggest you contact VFS. I don't think it is a full visa fee, likely a replacement fee or re-issue fee, but there is definitely a fee to do this.

You will need to wait like every one else. It will be delivered probably in the next week or so. Your visa was only approved a week ago. There is a system available for your new employers to check your right to work and as a Tier 2 sponsor, they should be aware of this.

sushdmehta wrote:2. Yes, as CR001 has commented (RLMT etc.). Leave to remain applications are NOT subject to cooling-off requirement.

How long is your notice period with your current employer?

You should apply for the new Tier 2 G visa before you leave the UK and after RMLT is completed and COS issued.

Does the letter not say what you need to do if you don't travel within the 30 days?

There was a post in the last couple of weeks in one of the other forums about this scenario. I will see if I can find it and post it later.

Ukraine is not part of the Schengen agreement.

In which country will you be staying the longest?

Did you get a vignette valid for 30 days in your passport with a letter to collect your BRP in the UK on arrival?

Or did you get a visa valid for 3 years or so in your passport?

is it more complex than that? Slightly more complex than you have outlined. Read through Standard Visitor Visa (Click) . Your girlfriend has to qualify for a visa and will have to provide quite a bit of documentary proof that she has ties to Peru and intends to leave the UK. She needs to show evide...
