Thank you so much for ur reply Amber
so for the question

6.23 should i write Nikkah ceremony ?

6.33 i pay all the bills ? so what should i write?

page 15 , for previous address (from ur reply i should leave it empty ?)

for the absence , because my wife never away for more then 6 month so i should leave it empty as well
another question
as u aware i will be varying her application as well to FLR(M) should i use the change of circumstance form or just cover letter will be enough. and also where it ask in FLR m form about BRP and Passport, should i just write under question that its with Home office along with previous application ?
at last but not least just for my peace of mind
do u think i Can vary my application to SET LR 28 before reaching my 10 year time and very next day with my special delivery ref, varying my wife's application to flr m from tier 2 dependent? is it right thing to do
and also should i just pay full fee for both application to avoid confusion?
sorry i have asked so many question but only few days left to file these applications i m starting to panic again ,
hope to hear from you or any other member of this forum in similar situation.... thanks very much for every one's help
God bless you
Kind Regards

I would think so, I gather this was a Pakistan marriage.


6.33 i pay all the bills ? so what should i write?

Then no.

page 15 , for previous address (from ur reply i should leave it empty ?)

You should state any addresses you have had.

for the absence , because my wife never away for more then 6 month so i should leave it empty as well

For that question yes, however, you may want to include absences in 6.9.

Yes you can vary from 28 days before you qualify, when varying include the cover letter requesting a variation with the other application acknowledgement reference number, they should only debit the fee difference, if any.

3 months wage-slips and corresponding bank statements for FLR(M) under the old rules. It's your only option if you are applying for SET(LR). Unless you qualify for PBS SET(O) in which case you could apply together.
