can I apply for flr m extension when my passport is only valid for 4 months

[Rud]

Dear Advisors ,

Can I apply for flr m extn when my passport is about to expire in 4 months Time , Will I get a full visa extension for 2 years or will it affect my new visa extn duration ?

Once I get the visa extended and I will be applying for my passport renewal , once the passport is renewed should I have to update the new passport details to home office

This is not detrimental to your application. You can go ahead with this.

Dear Advisors,

I have few more queries related to my flr m application.

1. Can I apply for flr m extension 3 months before the expiry of current visa ?

2. I was on different valid visas until I got my first flr m visa , there is question in flr m asking about is it first extension after entry clearance as flr m , is my answer yes to this question is correct ?

3. I have child application along with my application, in the document upload I need to upload the document proof where other parent lives, i have already uploaded my spouse utility bills for joint address proofs , should i upload the same in the child other parent lives section ?

4. Should I submit the application before going to biometrics or will they review my application during the biometrics and submit my application ?

5. Is it mandatory to upload a proof for the reason for not able to leave the country and settle elsewhere.

6. Current timelines to get the visa processing?

Dear Advisors,

I have few more queries related to my flr m application.

1. Can I apply for flr m extension 3 months before the expiry of current visa ? You can apply anytime. Just be mindful of when you do so there won't be a shortfall for ILR

2. I was on different valid visas until I got my first flr m visa , there is question in flr m asking about is it first extension after entry clearance as flr m , is my answer yes to this question is correct ?

3. I have child application along with my application, in the document upload I need to upload the document proof where other parent lives, i have already uploaded my spouse utility bills for joint address proofs , should i upload the same in the child other parent lives section ? You may

4. Should I submit the application before going to biometrics or will they review my application during the biometrics and submit my application ? Either submit before or let VAC employee submit for you. Most important is to supply or upload all supporting documents

5. Is it mandatory to upload a proof for the reason for not able to leave the country and settle elsewhere. No

6. Current timelines to get the visa processing?

Either is fine.

Not required at all. Your new digital photos will be taken at your biometric appointment.
