Thought you might want to know that my visa extension has been approved yesterday. I availed the premium service in Cardiff, took me only an hour to wait, have my biometrics taken and receive the decision that my FLR has been granted. Was told that the BRP biometrics residence permit will be delivered by post within 7-10 working days.

Just want to share the documents we submitted:

Please note that some would find the papers we provided are unnecessary. We tend to submit more just to play safe.

> Online Payment Sheet
> FLR (M) Application Form
> e-mail confirmation of booking an appointment
> Sponsor and applicant's previous and current passports
> Sponsor and applicant's birth certificates
> Marriage certificate
> Sponsor's registration certificate as British citizen
> Applicant's CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage) issued in the Philippines
> Applicant's NBI clearance issued in PH
> Applicant's English (IELTS) results
> Sponsor's bank statements
> Sponsor's payslips
> Sponsor's P60
> Sponsor's employment contract
> Accommodation details: tenancy agreement, letter from landlord stating that they are aware of me living in the flat, flat pictures, flat description and floor plan
> Wedding photos
> Applicant's TB screening certificate
> Proof of correspondence of sponsor: TV licence, tenant insurance, council tax, tenancy agreement, bank statement, P60
> Applicant's proof of correspondence: Letters from Boots, Nectar, Tesco, Amazon

I realized that it is not mandatory for the applicant to provide at least six items of correspondence if he/she lives in the UK for less than 2 years. Thanks for this info Sir Terpe.
