ILR Advice needed

[briancol]

Hiya Brian,

It looks like your wife will have no choice but to extend her visa (FLR) which will be another expense currently £601 but as Rayna has said that if your wife lets her visa run out then she could be deported back to the Phils.

I think the above is your only option due to time restraints but on the positive side is that as soon as she achieves B1 level then she can immeditely apply for ILR, she won't have to wait a further 2 years on her visa extension.

More expense I know but like I say with little options left then it looks like the way to go, anyway goodluck...

Thanks for that,,but what is (FLR) please, and,do they extend the visa for 2 more years? Another 601 pounds, lucky my wife is working and earning, do you have a link for the visa extension application form (just in case)?

But IF she passes and gets the B1 even just one week b4 her visa runs out, she can still apply then, yes?

I already posted the link to the FLR form in post #5. FLR means Further Leave to Remain.

She can still apply for FLR or ILR even a week before her visa runs out. Just make sure that UKVI will get the application on the last valid date stated in the visa (16 August 2014 in your case). If they get it even a day after that, then it will be considered as late application

Edit: I just checked that 16 August 2014 falls on a Saturday. I hope Terpe or anyone who knows can advice you about the correct timing of submitting the application when it falls on a weekend.
