As per my question on when to submit application. Premium - can apply 30 months from the exact date of arrival up to 28 days of visa expiry. Postal- can apply 28 days before the 30 months up to 28 days of visa expiry. For premium appointment, appointment can be made 45 in advance |

Hi all, I have searched everywhere on nairaland for this but could'nt find anything useful. I am about to apply for tier2 UK visa and tier 2 dependent visa for my wife and child. I however have another child born out of wedlock who is now 6years old and I intend to bring him to the UK too. People tell me it is not likely to be approved because his case is more complicated. His name appears on my marriage certificate (single with a child) and my name is also on his birth certificate. His mother is willing to provide every necessary document and is in full support of this. Could you please advice me on what to do, documents to provide and how I can proceed with this? Thank you. cc: justwise |

My friend wife did apply for her spouse visa extension with her old ( the one she used on her first application) PTE English certificate and was successful. I am apply for my wife spouse visa extension on 29th. I only paid for the NHS surcharge and no premium appointment in Birmingham for the next 45 days. My wife visa expire on 23/04/2018. Croydon only have appointment from 24th��. I live in London and the closer place with appointment is Sheffield. I will have to drive about 3 hours plus. So will get a hotel with my wife and 2 kids, I will go there a day before the appointment so that we can rest ( but not book yet, still debating) I can't bear this long waiting postal application. I will use my wife old PTE English exam she wrote in Nigeria before she apply for the first spouse visa. It crazy but we will get there. [ author=joygirl2017 post=65138368] Ok find out and lets know the outcome [/quote] |

Trust me. It was so annoying for me. My visa was to expire on the 26th February. There were no dates at all in London/Birmingham/cardif until 7th March, I kept checking hoping someone will cancel their appointment. You can keep checking I think the premium service is totally worth it. You should do it. Please remember, the last payslip, bank statement must be within 28days and letter confirmation must be within 28days too. Good luck Benuromi: |

phardey: Seems like you the first person posting on congratulations again! Just for clarification purpose can you share more light on council tax bill did you print every bill for each month the whole 2and half years becos that's alot can you share more light on that thanks. |
Re: Applying For FLR After Your Initial UK Spouse Visa (extension) by phardey: 8:58pm On Mar 29, 2018 |
Thank you, we get our council tax bill every year. So I used the one that came in May 2016 and May 2017. You don't need to include every months bill. Your can just include 2 council tax bills. Remember the documents has to be from at least 3 sources. I used over 8 sources. Infact I didn't know how to calculate and achieve 12 letters single or 6 letters combined. I sent over 24 documents as proof of cohabitation. joygirl2017: |

Hi phardey, Funnily enough, there are no dates available in Croydon for me as well even though my visa expires 30-04. The earliest I am seeing is May 1st in Liverpool so it looks like I'd go the postal route. Some questions please: - when you submit, is the acknowledgement good enough for work, i.e to submit to HR pending outcome? -must I submit hubby's passport or will the data page work as he will need to travel soon. -i am curious to hear your thoughts on this, I never submitted English language test initially, I used my Nigerian University MBA Cert backed with a letter from the registrar stating course was taught in English. Do you reckon I can still use same letter, it's more than 2 years old now but it's still certifying same thing I imagine phardey: |
Re: Applying For FLR After Your Initial UK Spouse Visa (extension) by phardey: 2:48pm On Mar 30, 2018 |
Post it asap. Don't wait till time runs out. I ended sending mine 14 days before my visa expired. Yes you must send your hubbys passport. It will be returned within a week. You can send coloured copies of every page of passport and explain why you can't send the passport in a cover letter but I don't think it's worth it. Yes, the acknowledgement letter is enough. Some companies might say they want to check with HO. Mine did but they didn't get any response from them. I don't know about using that same letter. Can you try to get another letter from the university and courier it down here. You don't want to give them any reason or whatsoever Good luck |

Hi guys, great job you’re doing here. Just got my spouse visa a week ago, but I’ve been here before for my studies so a lot of my paper work are already in place (NI no, bank statement (proof of add), etc). Anyway, I would like to know if I must change my surname as all my docs (gp, bank account, NI, certificates, passport and BRP) are in my maiden name. So must I change my name to my husband’s? I already have done a newspaper publication and sworn and affidavit in Nigeria but for some reason I would like to leave my name as is, would this affect the next stage of my application? |

12 letters if there's no correspondence in both names. 6 letters if both names are on the correspondence. But you can mix them if both names are on the correspondence [Quote author=joygirl2017 post=66359505] Thanks soo much!

Re: Applying For FLR After Your Initial UK Spouse Visa (extension) by Benuromi: 8:07am On Apr 04, 2018 |
I am a bit confused on the employer letter as my HR is getting me upset. On your employer letter, does it state the amount you earn which is before and after tax including overtime or just the basic salary without overtime. Because when I applied for my wife spouse visa 2015, I used the amount on p60 which included overtime. Can someone help me out please. |
Re: Applying For FLR After Your Initial UK Spouse Visa (extension) by phardey: 12:36pm On Apr 04, 2018 |
Oh mine just basically included my annual salary. I've never done over time. You can tell them to state how much your basic salary and add all your time together till date from the last financial year. Benuromi: |

Thank you so much. I couldn't get any appointment in London and Birmingham. I can't bear to drive 3 hrs to Sheffield with my young kids. I finally sent it today as we don't have any holiday book yet phardey: |

Hi phardey, Thanks for your comments. I finally decided to use NARIC so I applied a week ago, just waiting for them to send the letter. I have a question though, I didn't plan to include details of my employment since my hubby's employment alone meets the financial requirement but somewhere on the form, it asks 'you and your sponsors total combined income from salaried employment' If I state our combined income, will I be required to include all my employment details? Payslips, employment letter and all the rest? Or should I state only his as that's what we are using for the application. phardey: |
Re: Applying For FLR After Your Initial UK Spouse Visa (extension) by phardey: 11:15pm On Apr 08, 2018 |
Hi Newbie, Your own income should be N/A if you don't want to use your income. Also combined income (sponsors and yours) will be just your hubbys income if you are using just hubby's. Yes if you intend using both incomes, you will be required to provide both of your 6 months payslips, bank statements, employment confirmation letters, and offer of employment. If you or your hubby meets the requirements, you can use either one. I used just mine. newbie715: |
