FLR expiring this January

[Mariafeda]

Yes, I think i am on a 5 year route as Im supposed to apply for ILR after. I am so clueless.
So this second FLR that I will be applying for, is it exactly the same as the one I did before? Requirements, etc. ?
Also according to my BRP card, mine will expire the 16th of January 2017. When is the latest i can send my application? We will need to go to Cardiff for it and I think the soonest we can go is first week of January.

Hi Mariafeda, because u are under the new rules yes u have to apply for another flr m for you to be able to reach the 5 years minimum stay so u can apply ILR before your 2nd flr m expires. It is normally 28 days before your visa expires or within that timeframe you can lodge your application for flr m. For your requirements, it is always good to check the gov.uk website in case there are any changes with the rules, forms and fees. Just search apply to remain in the uk with family on your search engine and it should come up with results. Goodluck!
