Hi
A bit of
background, I originally came on a student visa, got married, marriage got anulled.
I became an over stayer, got into a relationship, stayed in detention twice, almost got sent back to my home country. Got released pending a JR.
Applied for FLR(FP) myself, kicked my solicitor off my case.
The application was successful and I got the 2.5 years stay based on cohabiting with my partner for over 2 years. My leave expires in Feb, 2019.
Currently my partner is not working and she is on ESA because of major surgery.
The conundrum
1. I am looking to switch from FLR (FP) to FLR (M) under the exemption rule which allows PIP receiver to be exempted from adequate maintenance. The combine income of my part time work and her benefits allow us to fall under the exemption.
The questions,
If I apply for FLR (M) and God forbid the application is rejected, would my current visa be revoked?
I have my original IELTS certificate and the score was 6.5 when I applied for student visa, would this be enough to satisfy English language requirement?
Would my previous NHS surcharge be still valid for this application? I got it in Feb, 2016.
Do I need to get married for this application?
Any/all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards,
AA
