Your application will only be decided once your spouse is granted ILR. If spouse's ILR fails, your FLR(M) will also fail.

HI

It all depend on the caseworker whether he will hold your application or not. Chances r slim as HO wants to make immigrants life more miserable.

One possibility is that they will send your application back and give u 10 days to apply under flr fp otherwise they will invalid your flr m application as your husband is not settled on the date of your flr m application.

Do u have kids??

Why your husband didn't choose premium service to get same day decision? Bad decision taken by him in my view. Any problem with his previous years tax returns?

Postal ILR applications can take many months. Did both of you submit your applications before your Tier 1 G & dep visas expired?

What 'couple of things' were you 'late on'?

Yes we applied 4 days before it got expired. My husband was waiting on sa from hmrc and a couple of letters from his accountant. We didnt know what the scenario was really. We tgought it easy as it had been couple of years back during extensions.
So we started late with application requirements.

We have mentioned in my form about my husband's ilr application and royal mail reference number will it still be a problem

Long residence applications don't require extensive supporting documents. Your husband will also not be exempt from scrutiny by HO due to self employment on Tier 1 General.

You should have submitted your applications at the same time or submitted yours once you had reference number for his application. Did you write a covering letter with your FLR(M)? How will HO cross reference your application with his ILR one if you did not have his application reference number?

You should have written a letter asking HO to consider your application once your husband ILR one has been granted and providing all his personal details and passport/BRP information.

FLR(M) is sent to a difference department to ILR LR applications.

Again its all depend on the the caseworker.

Technically your husband is not settled when u applied for flr m. Be prepared to receive a letter about invalidation of flr m but they will give u 10 days to vary it to FLR FP. What r the chances of flr fp success??again depend on caseworker. In my wife case they grant her 2.5 years leave under partner route but after my kids MN1 approval.

I am not trying to scare u but be prepared for the worse.

We did that as well but they still sent the letter to vary flr m to flr fp in 10 days as sponsor is not settled (sponsor ILR application pending) otherwise they will invalid flr m application.

U will become overstayer. But don't let that thing happen. I am very confident that they will give u 10 days to vary it to flr fp.

Hope and pray that they hold your flr m application until your husband get ILR approval. There r some cases where they did this but again it depends on the caseworker.

Interesting. It means they accept your flr m application and now its up to the caseworker whether he will hold your application or not. if he in not holding it until your husband ILR application decision than they will refuse your flr m application. I don't think they will send u a letter to vary it to flr fp.

In my wife case they didn't send us biometric letter until we vary flr m to flr fp.

The dependent but it will also only be successful if ILR is successful. It is not a magic ticket visa. Suggest stick with FLR(M) for now and wait to see what happens.

If someone applies flr fp under partner route. Let say after husband/wife ILR, chances r very slim to get flr fp partner route visa specially when no kids involve. Because in the eyes of HO flr fp applicant is trying to bypass the flr m route.

In your case wait for HO next step. Keep us update.
