Hi all 1) Property inspection report was done in October 2018. Can we use the same report or would it better to get an up to date one? 2) Proof of employment letter is dated September 2018. Is this going to be acceptable or should I get an up to date one? 3) All my banking is done online and when r...

You could apply with fewer than 12 months' of pay slips if the total on the pay slips totals more than £18600 (NOT equivalent to £18600 per annum but actually £18600). You would need to supply 12 months' of bank statements. This is category B. I will once again supply them and suggest you read them....

Someone woke up on the wrong side of bed... I simply asked a question, you gave an answer, and I simply pointed out another forum user, in a topic which was right above mine when I posted the link, has given what seems to be a different answer to you. Just because I said "I was under the impression...

Hmmm, interesting, thanks kate. Just to clarify though, do you mean it has to be £18600 or the equivalent of (as I haven't been in employment for the full past 12 months, I'm planning on applying after essentially 6 months employment)? https://www.immigrationboards.com/immigration-for-family-member...

There are different ways of meeting the financial requirements of the visa (called Categories). Category A is 6 months with the same employer (there is NO wiggle room on this). Category B is the last 12 months of employment earning above £18,600 which can be in multiple jobs (and you must continue t...

Applying under the new UKCVA Priority or Super Priority service, applicants are emailed once a decision is made and many told the outcome of application is grant of visa/ILR Cheers Char!! Seems like the service is a bit poor i nothing has been returned two weeks later though... I am surprised, why?

:arrow: My wife received an email notification on 11th Febr 2019 that her Spouse visa is granted. We didnt received any Approval Letter or BRP as of now. Is this something odd or do i need to contact HO. I've never heard of an email detailing the result - just that a decision has been made. How cur...

Hey physicskate, She will probably come for 10 days (pending MVV approval) to give notice so that she is here for 8 days and then giving notice on the 9th. I have her bank statements delivered to my address from her UK account which according to the register office could count as valid proof of add...

her return tickets showing she is visiting for a short stay to give notice be enough? How short a visit? Where are you planning on getting married? Scotland, England etc...? Are you aware of the notice requirements for getting married in the UK?? I would suggest you marry in the USA, as you can tra...

Just wondering if anyone has information on obtaining a "Spouse Entry Clearance Visa"? I'm under the impression, that I would need this completed prior to the settlement (as wife) application...? Thank you again for all your help and input, truly appreciate it in this complicated world! You are mak...

Hi all We came over in 2004 on ancestral visa. We notified the HO of change of address when we moved. Upon having a house fire where all our documents & passports got destroyed, we applied for new visas. The HO sent the documents & new passports to our old address from 2004. However, we have now be...

I am fully aware this is not what you've asked and I don't think I have the answer to the question you've asked, but is there a reason to switch to FLR(M)?? You are aware this will re-set her ILR clock to 5 years? The only reason to do this is if you were granted ILR under long residency rules...

The two year cohabitation rule is very strict but it ONLY applies to unmarried partners. If you marry, you would apply for the spouse visa (this is the path I would recommend if in a genuine subsisting relationship but not having cohabitated - if you don't want to marry, perhaps the relationship isn...

Hi guys.. this maybe slightly difficult question but any information or advise will be appreciated. I acted as a sponsor for my ex on flr application after 4 months I wrote to curtailment team as we are no longer together and never really lived together anyway. We have a child together. When I said...

Best practice is to send everything to Sheffield except your passport, which will be submitted to the VFS centre along with biometrics. Now you can either send documents directly or send it to your sponsor and they can send it to Sheffield. Other US memebers might give you more accurate information...

Hi all, I'm recently married to an iranian (i'm british citizen living in Dubai) someone had mentioned to me that i can apply for a Spouse visa. Do we need to be living in the UK for this? Our aim is for her to travel to the UK freely (relatively) for holidays. if anyone could let me know the type ...

Does that mean I have to wait for another 1 year before I can apply for a stay after the 5 years making it 6 years but I was a student when I meet him where I got 3 years and 6 months plus the 2.5 years and another 2.5 years It means that if your relationship has permanently broken down that you ne...

By accomodation evidence do you mean proof that I can provide housing for both of us? ie that my tenancy agreement states it's a three bed house and not a bedsit? Thanks, Will You need to provide the tenancy agreement, but also a letter from your landlord giving her permission to live there once sh...

I'd also suggest you double check your relationship and accommodation evidence. Just because it's not mentioned in the refusal letter, doesn't mean it was acceptable. As you were missing so much evidence, it's entirely possible they just picked up two points when there could have been more. Letters ...

Currently in process of applying for my spouse visa extension for my wife I am a British citizen we have two British children together my issue is the visa expires on 1st of February 2019 and I started a new job on 6th August 2018 I have my 6 months payslips present but I won’t have completed 6 mon...

I didn’t do ILR on tier 2 basis. It is on 10 years route. You've completely missed my point: "Surely if you were on a Tier 2 you met the financial requirements ." This means you MUST have earned over £18,600 per year and therefor you could have applied for FLR(M) instead of FLR (FP) as this is cons...

But if her FLR FP is approved, then earliest when can she apply for ILR? After 10 years from the approval of this visa OR Can she apply on 10 years basis in 2024 as she came in Uk first in 2014? Thank you Surely if you were on a Tier 2 you met the financial requirements. Why didn't you apply for FL...

Hi It says ‘spouse/partner leave to enter’ is it different to the ILE , I am confused Please advice It appears you were not granted ILE but a spouse visa valid for 2 and a half years. The next step is to apply for an extension using FLR (M) 28 days before your visa expires (up to the date it expire...

Are you using this for proof of accommodation? If this is the case, it is unnecessary. Proof of accommodation needs to come in the form of a lease agreement, letter from the landlord approving your spouse to live there and a land registry document proving ownership of the property. my land lord has...
