Visa After Leave to Remain

[Jayeds2014]

Hello Everyone,

I am new in this forum and i got some questions which you might help

I am a naturalised British Citizens, My husband got a spouse visa for 2.5 years which expires this November 2018
I am quite confuse if I need him To extend his visa using FLR (M) or apply for SET (M) for ILR as I read he falls under the 2 year route? Correct me if I am wrong.

If I will apply for the FLR (M) is his A1 certificate be still be valid? And does he needs to take the LIfe in The UK test?.


I would appreciate if you can enlighten me with this query. Thank you very much

How long has he been on the spouse visa?

I am quite confuse if I need him To extend his visa using FLR (M) or apply for SET (M) for ILR as I read he falls under the 2 year route? Correct me if I am wrong.

Why do you believe he comes under the 2 year route? How long has he been on a spouse visa? What is his immigration history?

If I will apply for the FLR (M) is his A1 certificate be still be valid?

You need to answer the questions above. If he has only had one 2.5 year visa, then he needs English A2 for an extension.

And does he needs to take the LIfe in The UK test?.

LIUK is ONLY for ILR and not for FLR(M) visa extensions. But again, your post is vague and not clear on the immigration history.

Hello thank you for your response.. As stated in his letter he's spousal visa starts last 21 Feb 2016 and expires on 21 November 2018. Im quite confuse about the 5 years and 10 years route?

Do I need him to apply for an extention of his spousal visa? So He can qualify for the 5 yrs requirement of ILR?

Thank you

Presumably this was issued outside the UK. On what date did he enter the UK on a spouse visa?

Do I need him to apply for an extention of his spousal visa?

Yes, for another 2.5 years on form FLR(M).

So He can qualify for the 5 yrs requirement of ILR?

Yes. There is no longer a 2 year route, it ended in July 2012. The 10 year route is if an applicant does not meet the financial requirement.

Oh, thank you so much, it does make sense now

This forum is really helpful to those people who get confuse and need an honest answer.

Cheers

kindly answer this question too.

Btw, he entered last 22 February didnt waste anymore time. Straightaway I flew him here

[CR001]

He should apply for an extension as close to 2.5 years residence as possible.

He will then qualify for ILR on Set(M) within 28 days before 22nd February 2021.

Yes I will do that, thank you so much for the quick response
