It should be noted that we were exempted from the English Language requirements due to my wife being from a predominantly English speaking country. So this could be different for you. It should also be noted that the items of correspondence must be spread out as evenly as possible. Do not leave gaps...
Hi, My wife's FLR(M) was accepted around 2 months ago via the Super Priority Service. Here's a summary of what is required based on our experience. Financial requirement; - Last 6 months payslips - Last 6 months bank statements (must correspond with payslips) - Letter from employer confirming job ti...
Thanks. From reading other forum members posts regarding these delays it seems that some are more affected than others. The email confirms that it can be used to evidence my wife's legal immigration status in the UK. Does this mean that we can leave/re-enter the UK without her BRP card if it does no...
Is anyone else facing any difficulties with BRP card delays? My wife's FLR(M) was accepted via the Super Priority Service over a week ago and we still have not received her BRP card in the post. We have received an email informing us that there is a large back-log of BRP cards waiting to be produced...
Hi all, We are still yet to submit my wife's FLR(M) application because we are waiting for a letter from my employer to confirm some specific details of my employment. Her current visa is set to expire on 26th October 2021. I understand that as long as her application is submitted before the expirat...
Thanks. A few more questions if I may; 1) Although my wife makes more money than me per year, we intend to use my bank statements and payslips to demonstrate the financial requirement as my pay stays the same throughout the period and my payslips are easier to read/understand. I comfortably earn abo...
Thanks for your guidance. She was on a Tier 4 student visa and switched to the spouse visa in Apr 2019, but presumably this makes no difference. When we initially applied for her first 2.5 years, we needed to submit scanned copies of passports and all of our bank statements needed to be stamped by t...
Hi My wife’s current spouse visa was granted in mid-April 2019 and is due to expire in mid-October 2021, we are preparing our documents to submit via the Super Priority Service next week. She is a citizen of the United States and we both still earn above the required financial requirement. We would ...
Hi, From what I understand the proof of cohabitation/address requirement for FLR(M) can be met either by providing 6 x items of correspondence in joint names or 12 x items in single names. My wife and I are gathering all of the letters etc we can for her application next month but so far can only fi...
Hi, My wife is due to extend her spouse visa in October. She has worked for the NHS for the last 3.5 years. I believe it was announced that as a result of Covid-19, all NHS staff members would be exempt from paying the Immigration Healthcare Surcharge. Is this the case / does anyone have any experie...
Hi, My wife is from the USA and is on the first 2.5 year part of the spousal visa, due to expire on 26th October 2021. If all goes accordingly with the lockdown easing, we will be visiting the USA on 1st October 2021 until 14th October 2021 for a wedding. This will leave her with 12 days left on her...
Hi, My wife is a US citizen and has lived in the UK since 2016. Since living here she has never filed her US taxes as she is not employed over there and thus earns no income. It goes without saying that she has been paying tax in the UK since 2016. It has been brought to our attention by a fellow US...
Hi, My wife is a spouse visa holder and we have moved house in the last week. We previously moved back when she was originally on a student visa and the process to update her address with UKVI was very straight forward (just submitting the new address via the Gov website). We have visited the Gov we...
My brother, who is a US citizen is interested in applying for the Youth Mobility Scheme; however I have seen on the UK GOV website that it is not eligible for USA citizens.
Is there another way which he could live in the UK temporarily on the same/a similar arrangement?
