That was a good link to read through thanks, thought we had cracked it and could apply for ILR but coming back to the thread it now seems we can't just yet. Did google A280B and had a read through but couldn't make head nor tail of it on first reading if I'm honest. Will try again later, can I just ...
Yes. I don't think she can yet apply for ILR until after her second DLR extension. If I'm reading the rules correctly for FLR I think it would be touch and go whether we would meet the financial requirements anyway. In section 3 of the FLR (O) form where you have to put the reason for applying would...
Hi My wife came to the UK in 2009 on a spouse visa ( I'm British) when that was about to expire she was going to apply for ILR but failed her Life In The UK test a couple of times so was unable to apply for that, and with time running out on her original visa she didn't have time to book herself on ...
Hello My wife's current residence permit will expire 22 July 2015 and we were wondering does she need to have a certain amount of time left on it to be able to travel outside of the country (UK) We are taking a holiday in Portugal in February and to apply for the Schengan Visa she needed to have 3 m...
It doesn't say family member of EEA national on my wife's permit so she needs to get the Shengen. Probably get all the documents together then to be on the safe side although she only has 1 month bank statement.
Thanks
Hi My wife has an appointment for a Spanish tourist visa at the VFS office in Manchester. She's Ethiopian and i'm British. Their website states what documents are needed for her application. Including 3 months bank statements, letter from her employer, travel insurance, flight and accomodation confi...
@Elisha47 That's exactly what happened with my wife. Because they were so long in deciding her application they asked for more/up to date documents. After she sent them she was granted FLR just a week later! Don't worry about the English requirement, my wife didn't have that either. Just explain why...
She got her further leave to remain yes, but instead of the old style stamped visa in the passport she has to apply for a Biometric Residence Permit. She sent this off a couple of weeks ago so she just has to wait now until they tell her to get her Biometrics done, then she will be issued with the c...
I'm sorry to hear you have withdrawn your application Elisha, I know you have been waiting a long time (the same as my wife 13 months) so I know how you feel. Sometimes we debated as to if we should go back to my wife's homeland. I'm sure your leave to remain may have been coming soon but I can unde...
@Elisha47 As you know it took my wife 13 months to get her extension(new application) based on the fact that i'm British and so is our child. Your timeline is about the same now so fingers crossed you will hear something this month or early March... My wife has sent her application off a couple of w...
@justice. It didn't actually say on the letter what type of visa it is. Just that she has been granted further leave to remain. I'm assuming it's gonna be some kind if family residence permit (i'll have to look into it). For how long it will be vaild for I don't know. Good luck with your's.
My wife received all her documents back today along with a letter granting her further leave to remain. (on the basis that we have a British born child) She now has to send of her application form for a Biometric Residence Permit and that will be that. So all in all from her application in December ...
Yes, that's exactly what the survey is for. Just call your local council and explain why you need the survey doing and they will send somebody round. Our council did it for free but I believe some do charge a small fee. Get a copy of the deeds, and yes get a letter from your Mum explaining that you ...
It's not that they needed more proof I don't think. They just wanted more up to date information from when after my wife applied, because it was so long ago. So up to date information about finances and that we are still living together, so the same stuff as before just more recent. We are hoping th...
My wife applied in December 2011. Received a letter last week asking for further documentation since the application. So hopefully they have now at least taken a look at the application and fingers crossed it won't take much longer. If you are applying for DLR, don't make any plans like booking flig...
It's not that much of a mess Lucapooka (probably was a bit over worried with my first post maybe) As long as we can stay and continue to build our life here we will be more than happy, not bothered how long it would take for her to get ILR. As long as we are doing the right thing and abiding by the ...
Thanks Greenie. She was close to passing the KOL every time just 1 or 2 questions out so it does seem crazy. So even with this application pending she could do another KOL test and apply for ILR or an English test and apply for FLR? Would these be brand new applications or just send the certificates...
Hi My wife made an application for DLR in December 2011. The reason for this was her spouse visa expired January 2012 and her intent was to apply for ILR but she failed her KOL test (3 times) so couldn't make the application. She was then going to apply for FLR but we did not know about the rule tha...
