Based on what you've shared I think you belong under the OLD RULES because you got married last year (before 9th of July).. I just lodged my FLR(M) yesterday and going through the new rules form is very confusing :/

I hope someone will help you here in your query

Grace, can I ask when you filled out the FLR (M) form, what did you put in the part

S E C T I O N 7 A - F I N A N C I A L R E Q U I R E M E N T

As there is no box or anything for people who APPLIED for a Fiance Visa BEFORE July 9th 2012 to be exempt from the Fiancial Requirement?

The only thing it says is


7 . 1 Are you or your sponsor in receipt of a benefit listed within the guidance notes? If you claim to be exempt from meeting the financial requirement you must submit the relevant evidence, as specified, of your eligibility to be exempt.

But this is just asking about any benefits which would make you exempt NOT about when you applied? What did you do when you filled out the form? Did you write a letter explaining you applied before July 9th? as on the guidance notes it says

You need to meet the financial requirement if you
made your first application to enter or remain here as a
partner after 9th July 2012.

But on the actual application form there is no where you can tick to say that or anything? What did you do here? Or anyone else know? Just when my Fiancée FINALLY I hope gets her Fiancée Visa we will be needing to know this?
