Hello!
After your marriage, you wait for 2yrs then you apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain. Make sure you didnt exceed the days of absence in UK and that you completed the 2yrs as married couple. Just search in this forum for the requirements for ILR. You should start to collect correspondence/letters as well after you have married to prove that you are living together as a couple for the whole 2yrs.
You only apply for Further Leave to Remain if you didnt meet the 2yrs.
Hope that helps.

after you get married you can apply right away for FLR. then after 2 yrs take the UK TEST then apply for ILR . Don't forget to ammend your passport and report of marriage to the phil emb as well but u can just do it anytime.
Right sorry I was wrong.
You are in fiancee visa...Diana is right, apply for FLR then after 2yrs you apply for ILR.
However I didnt change my Phil passport anymore, its still in my maiden name but will be apply Brit passport next yr then I will use my married name. I didnt report my marriage to the Phil Embassy...am I in trouble?
I have a question my fiancee visa was approve Oct 17,2008 expires April 17,2009.
We are planning to get married March next year.
Is 1 month ok to apply for flr?
Thank you
True love waits.
i dont think you are in trouble, its just that you will be paying a penalty i think i forgot. just check the phil. emb. website again.Right sorry I was wrong.

i did report my marriage but for the ammendment i didnt push thru with it coz they said my passport is the new one and they can't ammend with it unless i want my passport to be renewed which i have just renewed just this february 2008. so i will just ammend it when im going to renew.
hello frances,
yes its still ok to apply for FLR. congratulations in advance then.
yes its ok, as long as they get your FLR app before the 17th of April, it doesn't matter if your visa then expires, and your not an overstayer while they process your app, even if your visa has expired
Thank you DianaKevy!hello frances,

hi everyone ,i have some questions. what am going to do after my fiance and i are married? what should i apply for is it flr or ilr? thanks for your response
First & Foremost:
WHERE ARE YOU AT THIS VERY MOMENT?
PHILIPPINES OR UK?
Where do you intend to marry? PI or UK?
If you will be married in the PI, you will be able to skip 1 visa application, that is FIANCEE VISA (valid for 6mos only) this will save you money.
You will then need to apply SPOUSE VISA that is valid for 2 yrs (pls correct me if im wrong?)
Then ILR after 2 yrs
Then Citizenship
If marrying in the UK
Fiancee Visa 6mos
FLR 2yrs
ILR valid for 5 yrs
Brit Citizenship after 3 yrs of stay in the UK
Common factor:
All of the above mentioned will involve MONEY MONEY MONEY £££££££££!
Spouse visa should now be valid for 27 months. Citizenship after 3 years in the UK.
ILR is valid indefinitely so long as you stay resident in the UK.
But some of this is likely to change next year.
hi zobel,thanks for that! i am in the uk now..gonna be married soon with my fiance.
whaaaaa!!!! thank you for correcting me darren hehe that is why it is called indefinite hahahaha...
anyway, the Q is still the same.. where do they intend to marry? hehehe... they have the option to skip 1 visa that is - FIANCEe!!
thank you so much...
oh, ok... see darren's posts! Congratulations to you & your hubby to be!
