And as of a month or so ago..
- have studied for your ESOL qualification at an 'accredited college'; and
- be able to demonstrate that you have progressed at least one level in order to obtain your qualification.
Preparing for visa applications in advance is sensible, but they do keep changing the rules so you could have wasted your time.
hi stevewool
as soon she arrives register at gp and get her on the council tax bill (the first evidence she is living at the property)helps opening joint bank account later and the doctor can be her reference when she applies for citizenship (he/she needs to know her for 3 years). getting her registered at a dentist is a bit more difficult, they dont like NHS only private by us
after your married you also need to get her passport amended to show her new surname(philippines embassy london)can do this after FLR, but we did it before just makes it looks nice on FLR in married name
and then get all your gas,electric,water council tax in mr&mrs for ILR requirements letters spread over two years (avoid paperless billing)
these are the current requirements and will maybe be more difficult in the future
this will make the journey a little easier
when will the hurdles ever stop, 3 years of jumping is tiring
Just to add you cant just amend passport now, you have to renew it as well so you better do it before applying FLR or else her FLR visa wont be on her valid passport....
