FLR(M) Waiting times

[Terpe]

Hi Terpe,

Thanks for your reply... so it doesnt matter eventhough the visa is expired?

No. The visa status is OK

[Faye_and_Brian]

No. The visa status is OK

Ok Terpe, hope you are right. Thanks for the advise though but do I need to follow-up through email or will phone them? is it advisable to inquire about the progress?

You could consider a letter and/or e-mail indicating that your wife is wanting to take up employment urgently and requesting a response.

so if it happens that they rejected my FLR? and if I want to re apply again? will they consider my next application as Over stayer since my visa is already expired?

Faye, that just ain't gonna happen!

If the application was completed without problems then it's pretty tough to think of any reason for refusal.
