No, it would be FLR(FP) which is a 10 year route to settlement (ILR). However, where are you now and how long was the period of absence?

Are you aware that you are unable to extend your visa from outside of the UK

[Rubk]

Hi

I am back in UK. I thought (FLR M) which will extend to two years. I got spouse visa before july 2012, I still come under old rules as per my understanding.
Even on ukba website its says (FLR M) form.

Please advice

You haven't said how long you've been absent from the UK

[vinny]

Why didn’t you apply for ILR after 2 years in the UK?

[Rubk]

Initially I got 2.5 years visa in may 2012 but we were in and out from country and didn't prepare for life in the uk test. So instead of ILR we have had applied to two years extension.

Back home mother was seriously ill and need surgery so went few times. Haven't done the life in the uk test yet, according my knowledge I haven't stayed constant 3 year in UK to apply to ILR.


I don't know what to do.

If you were issued with a 2.5 year visa in 2012, how long have you been without a valid visa

[Rubk]

How can I live in UK without a valid visa ?? I always had valid visa.. before my 2.5 years visa expired, I applied for an Application ( FLR M form ) for an extension of stay on the basis of family life in the UK ( spouse ) and I got 2 years visa.


Which is expiring in next month. Shall I do the FLR M form again?


Thanks

Any advice?

[vinny]

Provided you haven't been put under Appendix FM. Being granted a 2.5 years extension instead of a 2 years extension is worrying because of A280B. How long was your last FLR(M) valid for? Do you also satisfy D-LTRP.1.1.?

If you satisfy all the requirements for FLR(M) (A227., A277A., A280(c), 284, 285, etc.), then yes.

Don't forget, at least A2 English language, just in case.

Apply for FLR(M) again under the old rules. State that you are under the transitional provisions and Part 8 of the rules.

You should be eligible for ILR and more likely the supporting documents will be same like previous extension but you will not have to pay IHS at this ILR stage. Also make sure to pass correct English test.
