Spouse Visa Extension

Post by ms1234 » Sat Nov 11, 2017 9:36 am

Hi there,
I am going to apply for spouse visa extension next month being a dependant/spouse of a British citizen. I have couple of questions please help me on these.

1. Is the below in link the latest version of spouse visa extension form after initial grant of 2.5 years. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... -04-17.pdf

2. when I book premium service appointment, do I have to pay the application fee as well on the top of premium service fee (which is around £590) OR I can pay the application fee when I physically go to the premium service centre? In other words Do I need to pay full fee 590 + 993 = 1583 at the time of booking of premium service appointment?

3. Is this the right list of supporting documents? if any missing please let me know.

28 days as the sponsor receives original statements by post every month

c. Employer letter confirming job nature etc.
d. Declaration letter from sponsor
e. SUO7 Declaration form
f. British Passport
g. 2 x photographs
h. Land registry and deeds of house
i. House inspection report from property agent

Applicant Documents:

to submit appendix 2 for the financial requirements also)
b. Passport
c. Original marriage certificate in URDU language
d. English version of marriage certificate issued from NADRA office

Thank you very much Casa for the prompt reply.

1. Do I have to submit appendix 2 form also, which I believe is separate form from the
application form?
2. I have three documents in joint names, so I assume we have to submit 3 single documents each additionally

3. and when I book premium service, Do I still have the option of filling the PAPER application form instead of ONLINE application form?

Thanks

Thank you very much Casa, could you please help me out by answering the following question as well?

Do I have to submit appendix 2 form also for FLR(m), which I believe is separate form from the application form and I had submitted this form at initial entry clearance spouse visa application from abroad.

Thanks

Not required for FLR(M), only a requirement for the initial Spouse Settlement visa application.

Hi there,
just realised that I had got one fine or penalty notice from city council for putting extra rubbish in our alleyways (Had to put extra rubbish on floor as bins were already full)
So I paid that fine which was around 50 pounds.I was not called in court etc. I just paid that fine straight away.
now I do not have details of that fine and I don't know the exact date of that notice.
Do I have to mention this fine/penalty notice in criminal convection part of the personal history section in the FLR(M) application form. Or I can leave it blank?

please advise as I am going to submit my application next week.

I guess that fine/penalty which you paid straightaway won't cause any issue because no bailiffs/court was involved in recovering that.
