I need some advice regarding my FLR(M) application

[Karyah]

Hello Everyone,

Would like to ask some clarification.

I came here as a student and got married in December. Until now I am still holding T4 General visa which will expire in 08-2013. Before we got married, we did not apply for fiance for I am here in the country legally as a student.

If I will apply for FLR(M) which category am I considered, is it the new rules or the old one?


Please Help. Thank you very much.

...but since you were not under fiancé visa when you came here in the UK, probably you are in a new category of FLR(M).

Hope it help.

It doesn't really matter when you got married, the reckoning point is when your apply for leave to remain under visa leading to settlement.
Unfortunately this would put you under the new rules.

You and your husband need to find a legal way to meet the financial requirements for at least 6 months prior to an application.
It seems all is not lost and you still have time as your current student visa is valid for another 12 months.

Sorry to give this information to you. These rules are just plain wrong imo
But until someone applies, gets refused and successfully appeals against the refusal then they will remain as the rules.

FLR have three categories.. spouse/civil partner, same sex and unmarried partner visa..its all in the same application, so if u got married u can apply for spouse visa, look and read carefully about the section of spouse visa.
