Hi Folks,

2 photos
[b]Evidence of continuous residency & Life in the UK[/b]

Since my business absences were close to 400 days, there were not able to make a decision on same day. It went to senior case worker for approval and I got the decision after 10 days.
Also, I entered UK after 2 months of granting Entry Clearance. This is disregarded. Upto 90 days is acceptable by UKBA for counting the 5 year period.
Today I went for my wife's FLR (M) application. (Sheffield PEO)
My wife spent 1 years and 4 months with me in UK and hence she is not eligible for PR. She has to apply for FLR M with the following documents
[b]General Documents[/b]
Filled in Application Form
2 photos of my wife, 1 photo of me
Passports (me and my wife)
[b]Evidence of marriage & subsisting relationship[/b]

We were out by 12 30 PM. The case worker told that as per new FLR M rules, my wife will have to complete 5 years for settlement but as she already spent more than a year, they may consider her case after 2 years(in another 6 months time) for granting ILR. It means that though the rules are in place, the case worker can view individual cases with different angle and come up with decision favour to us.
