5 year Rule Spouse

Post by imran1u » Wed Feb 01, 2023 2:25 am

Morning everyone

I am bit confused by reading few stories here ,saying if you apply before 28 days you will be short for 5 year rule.

Now i will put the process story for my MRS.

Here initial BRP got issued in 26 April 2022 and she arrived in UK in June 2022.BRP expiry date is 8 Feb2023.

She applied for FLR M on 7 Jan 2023 and her application was successful .She received the email 2 days ago .confirming her application was successful .She got further leave to remain till 27 August 2025.

So my question is will she have problem applying for ILR ,because she applied for her second spouse visa extension 30 days before rather in 28 days window.

Kind Regards

Are these dates/year correct?

If going by the dates you stated above yes she will have to take another extension to complete time for ILR.

I apologise I made a mistake

Initial spouse visa issued 26/04/2020 expire on 8/02/2023.

She came to UK 4/06/2020.

She reapplied for spouse again on 07/01/2023 and received confirmation email that application is successful and you will receive BRP in 7 days .Don’t know the issue date as waiting for BRP to arrive .

So the question is if she will need another extension or she will okay to apply for ILR.

Kind Regards

Her qualifying period for ILR starts from this date. She can apply for ILR no sooner than within 28 days before 4th June 2025.

Afternoon every one,

BRP received today.

On email received from HO on 30/01/2023 , its states your leave expires on 27/08/2025.

On BRP expire date is 31/12/2024.

Have they made a mistake or its because of phasing out of BRP cards process ?

Kind Regards

It's due to phasing out. Everyone's BRP end date is 31/12/24 nowadays, even if actual leave goes past it.

This is likely explained in the pamphlet you got with the BRP card and also detailed on UKVIs website.

https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence- ... rt-problem
If your BRP expires on 31 December 2024
You do not need to tell UKVI if your BRP expires on 31 December 2024 but your immigration status (for example, your visa) allows you to stay longer.

You will not need a BRP from 1 January 2025. You’ll be able to prove your immigration status online, without a BRP.

UKVI will update their information on how to prove your immigration status in early 2024. You do not need to do anything and your immigration status will not be affected.

BRP Expiry And Remaining Time

Post by imran1u » Sat Feb 03, 2024 10:59 am

My wife got family permit in may 2020 and she came to UK june 2020.

Collected BRP card which was valid until Feb 2023.

She re applied in January 2023 and got her second extension which is valid till August 2025. " 5 year route"

As we all know that BRP expires in 31 Dec 2024.

Now question is if she had to travel in January 2025 and return in February 2025 from Pakistan.How she will prove her residency to immigration in Pakistan that she still have valid residency till August 2025.

And other question when can she apply for ILR.

Are new rules been published some where and if a members can direct to website.

Many Thanks

I mean where she can prove her residency to immigration officer and when she can apply for indefinite leave to remain.

We don't know what the new system will look like yet. We do NOT work for the Home Office!!
and when she can apply for indefinite leave to remain.
You were already advised of this last year February when you asked the same question(s)!!

It means no one can tell you the answer to that question, yet! She should be due to apply for ILR in June 2025. Not sure what kind of "spouse visa" it is, so I'm going with FLR M.
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!
