Re: English Test Outside of UK for Spouse Visa? Important Changes Immediate Effect!!!

And from googling it looks like how soon you can see your test results online depends on the test centre you took it at. That is effing ridiculous. One place said "You will not be able to see your...

Re: Applying by post for FLR(M), extension of spousal visa

Right, the passport thing makes sense. In a way it makes things simpler as there is direct evidence at the FLR stage of a subsisting marriage.

Are you going to be alright with the correspondence...

Re: Applying by post for FLR(M), extension of spousal visa

But why is it not asked for at the initial Entry Clearance stage, when no children's birth certificates are required and you only have to provide the photo page of the passport? If they are so...

Re: Savings and 6 month rule

Sounds correct to me, and not only the day you apply but any day up until the last date of the last bank statement, which could be up to 28 days prior to that.

Re: English Test Outside of UK for Spouse Visa? Important Changes Immediate Effect!!!

Re: English Test Outside of UK for Spouse Visa? Important Changes Immediate Effect!!!

Thanks for the info. Is it right to think tests done and with Entry Clearance approved before 5th April will still be able to be used for FLR and ILR?

Re: UK Spouse Visa - Documentation Checklist

I don't think you need a PIR. The letter from your mum plus the Land Registry document is sufficient. I've done 2 spouse visas apps with that info(!) and got both of them.
