Hi
A few questions regarding flr(m) applicants:
My partners application was made in 2007 I wanted to know if they are suppose to legally apply for the forign i.d. card (yes he is from outside of EEA) or is that for only those whom have made their flr(m) application as of November 2008?
Would prior refused applications of a different nature have a bearing on our current flr(m) application or do they treat this one on its own merit?
My spouse when he first came over overstayed his 6 months by about 2 weeks before making the first application (his overstay was under 28 days) does this have any bearing on the overstay rule for decisions on applications in terms of is it worse to overstay over 28 days rather than less than 28 days or are they both viewed the same?
Any help or comments or link would be so useful and I would be grateful.
Thanks

I would also like to know as an overstayer are you allowed to study if a college permits you (i.e. knows you are an overstayer) or are you breaching HO rules for the application and as an overstayer.
PLEASE....I really need answers even if it is only to 1 of the questions.
Many Thanks

A genuine college would normally ask you to provide proof of status for you to be enrolled! Unless it's a dodgy one, and they just want to take your money. So strictly speaking, it's not allowed. I guess you can 'get away with it' if your visa expires while you're already in college, and they don't bother to ask you to prove your extension.

Thanks....do you think then it is not worth sending just a recent interview letter for a college to study as one of several documents proving correspondence between me and my partner recently in past few months...as strictly speaking overstayers aren't allowed to study?

How does a college letter of invitation for an interview prove correspondence between
you and your partner, exactly? It simply proves correspondence between your partner and the college in question! Or is it to prove that you are actually registered at the same address, so to speak?

Okay, so it's for proof of living at the same address. If it's just a letter of invitation for an interview, and he wasn't
actually attending college, then I guess it would be okay to send it.

my partner can't accept it due to immigration status so i guess i could explain this and send it as proof of residence at address
