FLR(m) First extension after initial grant 6 months

[conan3]

My spouse got her spouse visa (6 month Marriage Visa)back in 2015 august which expires in February we married as in November i now am in the process of filling in FLR(M) section 10 asks for proof of living together statements or official letters in both our names GP letters ,council tax etc. We have none of that as she is only here on a six month visa, i am guessing that this section is just relevant to those who are making their second FLR(M) but it doesn't say that in the application itself could somebody clarify if they have any ideas Thanks

[Wanderer]

Was it a Fiancee visa or a Marriage Visit visa?

[CR001]

Cohabitation is not relevant if switching from a fiance visa to spouse visa.

But as Wanderer has asked, you need to state if it was a fiance visa or a marriage visit visa.

[conan3]

sorry yes it was Marriage Visa

How much did she pay for her visa?

How much did she pay for her visa?

It is important for your to answer Vinny's questions as this will determine which visa she is actually on and whether she is permitted to switch to FLR(M).

[conan3]

She came to UK as the fiancée of a British national for Marriage the fee was £885

You are correct.

Your relationship
Six items of correspondence addressed to you and your partner at the same address as evidence that you have been living together since your last grant of leave in this category, or from the date you first started living together up to a maximum of two years. See Note 11.
