Hi everyone, For those that recently applied for the FLR(M). Is it mandatory to make photocopies of all documents and send it with the originals? Also, my child’s full birth certificate got missing, would it be advised to write a cover letter on that since it’s too late to get a new one, I am due to apply in 5 days. Thank you |

carphy: I made photocopies of all documents as that was what was required but all photocopies were returned which was a bit annoying as I had to shred them all over again after the stress of the photocopy. If I were to apply again, I'd still make copies unless someone tells me they didn't and their application was granted. So I guess it's left for you to decide. For the BC, since there is no time to get a new one, if I were you I'd write a cover letter explicitly explaining the situation and I'd include the child's passport if there's one and all other documents like NHS letters or letter from GP/Nursery. Also, I'd start the process to get another copy in the event that Home Office writes to request it afterwards. I'd also include a photocopy of the BC if there is one. |

Thank you for your reply, yes I have requested for a new one, unfortunately I haven’t done the kids passport and I don’t even have a photocopy of the BC. I feel so stupid, but I have letters from NHS. Hopefully they will accept that, I will make photocopies of all documents then. Thank you newbie715: |

For those applying for visas within UK, the process is changing soon, no more sending applications via post. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/ukvis-new-front-end-services-what-you-need-to-know https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-uk-visa-and-citizenship-application-services-centres-open |

After weeks of gathering evidences, I finally posted my application today. I wasn’t able to include all the documents they wanted especially my children’s passport cos I vnt even applied for it. Since they are automatic British from birth I just thought no need to apply for the passports. Only for me to see it’s a requirement. I included a detailed cover letter explaining that they haven’t been abroad before and that was one of the reasons I never applied for any. Wish me luck!!! |

Good morning everyone, It’s been 3 weeks I posted my application to the home office, payment was taken following day and I still have not received my acknowledgement letter nor my sponsor’s passport returned to me. I read from phardey and newbie timeline that theirs was sent in one week. I am at a cross road cos my visa expires in 2 days and I need to give my employer the acknowledgment letter. I need advice on what to do next? Does anyone has the contact details of the HO. Would be glad if I can get a prompt reply. Thank you |

Re: Applying For FLR After Your Initial UK Spouse Visa (extension) by newbie715: 6:48pm On Nov 18, 2018 |
carphy: Hi carphy, I don't know if HO are dealing with a lot of applications but I am aware of an FLR (M) that I was assisting someone with that was posted August 10, fees taken next working day but acknowledgement didn't come for a while, later came dated August 23. Then no biometrics request letter till September. In the end though, the whole application was still within 8 weeks as the BRP came shortly after the biometrics just that the timeline was a bit out of synch. My advice is to call HO. I have called them in the past by googling for their details. Try this number 0300 123 2241, I just googled it. If they can't help, they will give you the right number. I suspect they will say the application is still within its normal timeline, so impress on them the urgency in your case and ask for your case ID or reference number, that is what your employer needs to make the necessary checks with HO. The employer check takes 5 working days I believe. All the best. |

Hello group, I will like to know if I can still use Naric certificates for English requirement to renew my extension stay please. Also how many weeks is the timeframe to get decision and what are the requirements documents needed. Thanks |
Re: Applying For FLR After Your Initial UK Spouse Visa (extension) by carphy: 7:53am On Dec 08, 2018 |
Hello, yes, I think you can use your naric. If you go through the previous posts, Phardey and Newbie listed all the documents they submitted and their time frame. I used exactly the documents they posted, i submbitted my application on the 3rd of November and I still haven’t gotten a response, however they already contacted me 2 weeks ago to do biometrics. All the best. obabola123: 1 Like |

Happy NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL...... I believe when you did your 1st application in Nigeria, you sent the home office some sort of proof that you meet the English and Maths requirements. Hence they issued you your resident permit. I believe that same document is sufficient enough as proof. No need for another (IELTS). This is my understanding, Others would give their advice as well...... Goodluck Bourne007: |

Good morning all Do I have to include my stepson and stepdaughter to my online FLR m form? They're over 18 (20 & 23 years old) . If yes, what to do if their passports are expired !!? |
Re: Applying For FLR After Your Initial UK Spouse Visa (extension) by Bourne007(m): 6:45pm On Jan 13, 2019 |
The guidance notes states that "Dependent children over the age of 18 may not apply on this form, unless they were initially granted leave in this category at a time when they were under 18 but and are now 18 or over. Dependent children aged 18 or over must show that they have not formed their own family unit or be leading an independent life." Hope this helps Fifi123: |

Good morning House, I need the help or suggestions of the house. My wife has the spouse visa which is to expire towards the last quarter of this year. She works in Nigeria, and because of her work, she has refused to join me in the UK. This has been our issue. She's been visiting the UK and the longest she's stayed in the UK is 4months other times are three weeks, a month, sometimes two weeks. we had our child delivered in the UK, and one on the way. I believe the fear of uncertainty and not been able to get her kinda of job in the UK may be her fears of not wanting to relocate to the UK. Also she seem not to know what she wants as she still wants to renew her spouse visa despite not wanting to live in the UK. As in wanting to eat her cake and have it. Now that we are expecting an addition, I have told her that she may likely have to give birth in Nigeria. She said she wants to deliver in UK. which I may object. From my calculation she may be due to deliver nearer her visa expiration date. I would like to know if her absence in the UK will affect her visa extension? I am aware that one has to live in the UK for a minimum of 181 days in a year. I don't know if the is application to the spouse visa extension or during the ILR. I do not want to waste my time efforts and money if her absence will affect her visa extension. I know what I went through during the initial stage while she did nothing hence she is not appreciating what she's got. Any advise will be appreciated. |
