Hello,

Need some help!

If my current FLR BRP expires on 02 October. What’s the latest I can apply for my ILR?

I’m on the 5 year partner route as married to a British citizen in the U.K. We are supposed to travel to America and return on 01st October, a day before visa is set to expire.

Hoping I can just finalise my application when I’m back in the U.K on 01st? English test and everything else is ready to go.

Thank you!

That's cutting it very (extremely) close. Maybe I'm a bit of an old school person, but I always think of the "what ifs". Like flight cancellations or some madness.

Latest you can apply would be the day of expiration 02 October!

Yeah I know. It snuck up on us and didn’t realise it fell over our time away

Could I technically apply online whilst we are in the US?

Like what does ‘applied’ actually look like? Online submission, or after you’ve actually had an appointment etc.

Date of application is the date you submit and pay online, which can be done up to the date of visa expiry. The biometric enrollment appointment is irrelevant in this regards and can be after visa expiry.

You should apply in the UK.

Further to what CR001 has said, you can only make the application in country (UK). But you can start filling the form whilst you're out there, just to make your life easier.

Immediately you get back, you can submit and pay.

Just a suggestion based on the close timeline.

Appreciate both of you for the advice!

Thank you

Hello,

I am gathering documents for my wife's ILR/SETM visa.

We made a mistake and ticked that I was a director of the company I am employed by. The doc checklist asks for 'evidence as directed by appendix FM-SE for a director or non-exec director of a limited company based in the UK'.

Any advice on what I should do? Would a cover letter to explain that it was a mistake that we ticked the box be sufficient?

Thanks for any help on this!

The application is subject to the requirements under the immigration rules, not the answers on the form. So if you are not a director, then provide a cover letter
