Common question: can I travel while waiting for a UK visa?

f you applied inside the U.K., you cannot travel abroad , even though you’ll have your passport. Just how the law works : if you leave, any pending application gets cancelled. Exceptions are only for very compassionate circumstances like a family hospital emergency (not for a holiday , as we are asked 99% of the time 😀). If you applied outside the U.K., it’s all evisa now and you’ll have your passport....

what to do if main worker qualifies for ILR in UK, but dependants don’t?

Do Not submit FLR(M) form! If you need more time, submit PBS extension form in the same category, even if the main migrant now has ILR or UK passport. Do Not use old COS details, it is no longer relevant. Put dates for 3 years. Such extensions are always for 3 years, even if you need only a few months....

why was I switched to 10-year Partner route when applied in the standard 5-year route?

UK Spouse/Partner visa, thought would be useful. We are often asked by people why they were moved to the 10-year Partner route when they made what seemed like a straightforward case in the standard 5-year route. The answer is you didn’t meet the requirements. Unbeknown to you, such as you did earn £29,000 (or £18,600 as applicable) but not in the way that ticks the right boxes in the 80-page policy guidance....

UK visa options if your partner or someone in the family isn’t British / Irish. The obvious option is a Spouse/Partner or Fiancée visa, the one with GBP 29,000 income.

Also, Youth Mobility , known as working holiday , for some nationals but it doesn’t lead to settlement....

5 common mistakes when meeting Financial Requirement for UK Spouse/Partner visa

#1 Most common - submitting “everything I have”. Payslips, a tax return, some savings plus a property deed for good measure. Surely, should work? It may sound logical to provide as much as possible, but this is a nightmare scenario for immigration lawyers and often a direct path to a visa refusal. Financial Requirement is strictly based on the rules: what income can be used, how various sources can be combined and what documents are needed....

Waiting times for a UK Spouse/Partner visa when applied inside the UK

Re the common question - waiting times. For partners of Brits, FLR(M) and SET(M), our clients get decisions within the standard timelines. FLR(M) within 8 weeks, often 4-5 weeks, but not “still waiting since October”. SET(M) mostly 3-4 months, but all within 6 months. Super-Priority service seems easily available (contrary to struggles in this group) and is often decided on same day....

Indefinite Leave to Remain and 28 days RULE – from when?

I’d like to address a recurring question about ILR and 28 days - from when? For spouses/partners of Brits/settled/EU, basically what call a Spouse visa, the time starts from date of entrance, back then you got 3 months extra. If switched in UK - from date of approval. 5 years later - qualified for ILR, soonest can apply 28 days before that....
