Spouse visa extension: when to apply?

Post by divdin4000 » Fri Jan 04, 2019 6:58 pm

My Brp expires on the 4th of march 2019 and I first entered the uk on 9th of june 2016 with a stamp on my passport with a one month valid spouse visa. I need to apply for extension of spouse visa and I am really confused when to do it. I dont want to do it too early or land up being late in my application. Can anyone please guide me? :( Also I am yet to get my paper work ready, is it very difficult to get appointments early once I decide to send the papers off or can I go in person and submit them too. Pls help

You should apply no sooner than withing 38 days before you reach 30 months residence, counted fro date you entered the UK.

There is no in person same day service anymore. The service closed in November. See links below for new service.

I believe CR001's intention was to write 'within 28 days'.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
