No, it doesn't appear so. IHS is also not payable for a fiance visa anyway.KevinMoore wrote: ↑Wed Mar 04, 2020 1:59 pmSo the link is the right one I need to use?
Did I pay the IHS as part of the 2146usd for the existing visa?
When I apply for the spouse entitlement what length will it be and how much more am I going to be expected to shell out?
Yes
Assuming the fees don't increase (generally best to expect they will):
See the timeline thread below. They are actually pretty good at keeping to the 8 week time frame for deciding FLR(M) applications.KevinMoore wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 11:02 amI have completed the FLRM to the point where I have paid the IHS and now have to pay the fee.
The current visa expires 6th May which is around 7 weeks away and they state the application should be decided within 8 weeks or they will contact us if they need longer. The original application took them 12 weeks so I fully expect them to take longer than 8 weeks, which takes us past the expiry of our current visa.
Submission of supporting documentation is supposed to be within 10 days of submitting the application (I believe, it should tell you this after you submit the application) and definitely before the biometric appointment. You will be directed to book an appointment after submitting the application. You can have them scan your documents for you for an additional fee. Availability for the free appointments is sometimes limited, so it's worth looking at centres that may be a bit further from you or you can pay an additional fee for a premium appointment. All info including service locations is at the link below.KevinMoore wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 12:13 pmI notice that the biometrics appointments appear to happen fairly soon after the application is submitted.
Where does the submission of supporting documentation fit into all this? Because I am self-employed there is a lot of paperwork and scanning it at home would be a major headache compared to posting it or handing it over at the biometrics appointment, plus some things like the marriage certificate are too wide to scan on A4 anyway.
I am based near Leicester, where would we need to go?
Thanks
