FLR M Requirements

Post by shahemaan » Sat May 19, 2018 7:21 pm

Hi All,

I am in the UK on Tier 2 Visa and about to apply for my ILR on 10 years basis this month. My wife is with me on Tier 2 dependent visa and her visa will be expiring in December. My understanding is that once i get my ILR i will have to apply FLR M for her. Can some someone please confirm if this is correct and what documents I will need for her visa. Also what IELTS test she would require? She has been in the UK since Jan 2017.

Regards,

Regards,
FLR(M) is the correct application. It will re-set your wife's immigration route to zero, putting her on a new 5 year (2.5 x 2.5) path to ILR. In addition to the visa fee she will also have to pay the £500 IHS surcharge.

See Page 64 in the link below for required documents

IELTS A2 level from a test on the UKVI approved list,

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
