FLRM - Fee not deducted

[nael]

Hi respected members
I need your advise in my case. I am in UK for 4 years 9 months as my husband's pbs dependent . I need to apply for the extension of visa by 12th of feb 2018 . I have spoken to one of the immigration solicitor, he advised me that rather than going for FLR(M) and switching clocks back to zero, I should apply for FLR(FP) to buy another extra 03 months to complete 05 years , withdraw my application after 03 months and than apply for ILR on the basis of 05 years dependent of PBS . I am unsure about this advise. Please give me your opinion on this

Detailed history of my visa status is given below

- Granted PSW Dependent 21st April 2013 from Pakistan, entered UK 05th May 2013. I Applied for entrepreneur tier 1 dependent on 14 Sep 2013, Granted PBS dependent (tier 1 entrepreneur dependent) on 12th Feb 2015 which is expiring on 12th Feb 2018. My husband got ILR in Oct 16 (10 year long residency basis),I did not change my visa status at that point.Now he has applied for BC, I am still on Ent dependent visa. apart from this i have got two kids with british passport.

Thanks for your answer in advance

No. Unfortunately,

Note that both 319C(b) and 319E(b) fail because the partner was not granted indefinite leave to remain as a Relevant Points Based System Migrant.

You cannot apply for ILR as a PBS dependant under 319E.

FLR(M) is the way to go.

Dear Members

I have a confusion how financial requirements criteria works.

According to guidance notes of FLRM "The amounts required to meet the financial requirement are: Partner - £18,600 FLR(M) Guidance Notes (Version 04/2017) - Page 9 of 10 1 child in addition to partner - £22,400 2 children in addition to partner - £24,800 3 children in addition to partner - £27,200 There will be an increase of £2,400 for each additional child."

To sponsor a partner you should have income of £18,600 and it varies with every child. We have 2 children but we are not applying their visa (as they are born here and one already has got british passport and we will apply second one's passport soon). In that case what income requirement do we need to meet £18,600 or £24,800 ?

Thanks in advance for you help.

Kind regards

British children are excluded from the calculation.

Dear Members

I am applying FLRM and since I am in UK my all visas were non recourse to public funds. My husband has ILR and he claims Child tax credits on his name and money goes to his personal account but letters has my name on it (as they needed details of mother and father in their record).

- Is it ok?
- Can I use tax credit letter where i need any letter or bill on our joint name?

Thanks in advance.

Is your husband claiming tax credits in JOINT names with YOU??? Or did he state on the forum he is 'single' and only claiming in HIS name?

[nael]

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

He applied on his name and money goes to his account as he has got ILR.
- He stated he is married to me and he is claiming tax credit on his name. My name comes under his spouse and child's mother.

Hi

Can I apply any other PBS visa to complete remaining 3 months to be eligible for ILR?

- I work with employer who can sponsor me (in that case I will not be PBS dependent but PBS main applicant) - will it contribute to completion of my 5 years?
- Is there any other option available other than FLRM?

Dear members

I am filling my FLR(M) form. Me and my husband(sponsor) have got an autistic child and my husband gets Disability living allowance for the child. Are we exempt from meeting the financial threshold and fill section 7B instead? If yes, the last correspondence we receive from DWP was back in Jan 2017. Since than my husband is receiving monthly DLA payments in his account. Do we need to send the Initial letters received as a proof or should we ask DWP some latest proof.

Dear Members..
I am applying for FLR(M). I have got a question regarding English language requirement. I got my BS in Software engineering degree from back home. I got my English proficiency Statement from naric stating CEFR level B1. However, FLR(M) form says what is the CEFR level you are required to meet..options are A1 and A2. which of these I should tick. Am I fine with the language requirement?

Hi
I am bit concerned after meeting one of the solicitor today regarding my case. I need to file my FLR(M) application by tomorrow. My spouse/husband (settled in UK) receive Disability Living Allowance from DWP for last one year due to our autistic child who is British. We earn £16,800 together a year. I was under the impression that due to DLA, we are exempt from meeting the income threshold element of the financial requirement and I filled Section 7B of Maintenance of the form instead of Section 7A. According to the solicitor I need to fill in Section 7A and show £18600 excluding DLA, Child and working tax credit payments. Could you please advise me on this.

Kind Regards

See links below on how to calculate adequate maintenance.

immigration-for-family-members/pakistan ... l#p1358332

immigration-for-family-members/calculat ... 05533.html

My understanding is that tax credits cannot be used as it is not a qualifying benefit.

[nael]

Thank you very much for your reply CROO1. I went though the links you shared. I am totally confuse here . It seems that although we are exempt from financial requirement, still adequate maintenance in the UK without recourse to public funds is not an option for us as our rent plus council tax is £1150 and our combined income per month is £1446 without dla and tax credits.

If my spouse/husband who is a company director amend his 2016-17 tax return and increase his dividend to reach £18600 ,what documents and how far back he need to go to show his income apart from his tax return and salary slips (I am employee of same company for last 06 months)

Many thanks

Dear members
I need an advise whether I have calculated my adequate maintenance requirement correctly? today is last day to submit my application, a reply will be highly appreciated. I am mother of two British kids (my husband, settled in uk, receives DLA for one of the kid, therefore, we are exempt to show £18600) living with my settled spouse/husband
C
£114.85 for couple
£17.45 family premium
£66.90 x 2 (£66.90 for each dependent child)

=£266.10 per week/£1153.10 per calendar month left over after deducting rent/mortgage and council tax.
A=my montly net salary (£697)+spouse monthly salary (£700)+spouse yearly dividend/12(£45)+ montly DLA (£222)+monthy working tax credit(£170)+monthly child tax credit (£780)=£2524
B=monthly rent (£1000)+monthly council tax (£125)=£1125
A – B ≥ C £1399≥£1125

I also need to ask, how I can add my 14K personal savings in A. Should I add these calculations in my covering letter?

Dear Members

Dear Members

My postal FLRM application arrived home office on 12th Feb and still no visa fee deducted from my bank account. Is it normal or worrisome because in past fee is always deducted immediate next day.

Thanks so much for you continuous help and support.
