Hi All,
Hope we are all keeping safe (and sane..lol)

Update on my extension (Standard):
Online application: 18/01/2021
Biometric Enrolment: 19/02/2021 (@ an enhanced centre, paid £71.98 for standard appointment+sms service)
Decision email and letter: 25/02/2021
Biometric card: Awaiting Card. Hopefully, it gets delivered within 7 days as stated in the Decision Letter.

Seems fast but guess they need to move fast to prevent clogging the wheels...We move on to ILR.
Great group we've got here, keep up the support!

I didn’t scan my passport and I didn’t write a cover letter- not saying that you shouldn’t; just saying that I didn’t.
Also, They will ask you the times you’ve been abroad, which you’ll type into the application form, then if they need to investigate it, they will ask the relevant government department.

profemebee:
thanks for the document and the way it is arranged...YW
i noticed you used your own income for the financial requirement... i intend to do the same.. Cool
I was out for 57 days (work) after my initial entry to the uk, and will follow your method of writing a cover letter explaning... In my opinion, for Flr(m) the focus is on 2 - 2.5 years before your application. Most likely have 33 months (2.5 years + extra 3 months) on your BRP, which gives you 3 months to do all the shenanigans before settling in the UK. so you should still have the required 2.5 years initial + 2.5 years extension to give you the total of 5 years required for settlement
I went bk to naija to wrap up work and resign properly.. i hope i can tell Home Office that and they will understand oo..I am sure most of us did...lol
i also love how one doesn't send physical copies of documents anymore.. however, did you really scan all the pages of ur passport? even if its empty page? Yep, scan it all..it will cost you nothing

profemebee:
i read every page but we know new requirements creep up every time.. either in cost, docs, etc
especially in these times.. apologies once again

Bourne007:
Used lifeintheuktestweb.co.uk/exams/ and was out within 10 minutes

Aphrodite007:
I didn’t even post mine. No vex.

profemebee:

Please did you pay for super priority? is Standard now this fast
Can you please share the docs you used for your application?

Divine88:

Do you work with the NHS? If yes, they seem to treat priority workers faster. Congratulations, now you can rest.

profemebee:
hi hi

Please did anyone who has gone thru FLR M extension use 2 different addresses (that means you moved apartments or houses) for the application?

How does that affect the 6 joint address mail correspondence / 12 separated address mail correspondence?

Can you use Water Bill from address A with joint names and Water Bill from address B with same joint names for 2 different years?

Aphrodite007:


If you’ll submit your application on 14 January, I’ll advice the statement end between 1st and 13th Jan

newbie715:



Hi, you can use the e-copies. The print dates on them don't matter, what matters is that they are the relevant months and you have observed the 28 day rule in terms of the month, bear in mind that the 28 days applicable here is for your date of online submission not biometrics date.

Aphrodite007:


The bank statements must be within the last 28 days of the submission of your application. If you don’t have a paper form of a statement within 28 days, check your mobile and export a statement or call your bank and request for.

Aphrodite007:


Is it a bank statement for the months you need? Yes.

So It won’t matter even if the print date is 1 October 1960.

Divine88:

Are u submitting a physical form or you are/have submitted online?
If you’ve submitted an online application, you don’t need a passport photograph as the image taken during your biometric is what’s really needed.

tayeby78:
Its just an addition from our end.......you know just to avoid stories that touch.

tayeby78:
Will post our support letter here in due course.

Please Lamakinde have you received your BRp yet? Its been over 2 weeks and hubby hasn't received it yet and he has emailed and called the.. how long did yours take after you got the approval letter/email?

Bourne007:
Downloaded utility bills (Bank statements etc) can definitely be used with no issues whatsoever. It's even recommended

Think of the waste before you request for paper bills. Save paper, save trees, save money!

tayeby78:
Got the decion letter today that it has been granted. Applied in July with the documents stated on this thread. Hubby and I wrote a letter each stating how our lives have changed in the last 2.5 years. You guys are doing a great job with this thread. Thanks for everyone that has contributed. Yall are the real MVP!!!
Please can someone point us in the direction of ILR so we can start collating evidence again ejo. Thanks in advance

Lexusgs430:

ManlikeTee:


Thanks boss. The apartment is a one bedroom flat. 1 living room, bedroom, bathroom, mini storage and kitchen.

Made enquiry about the property inspection report and it cost about £140. I don't know if its really necessary to have it.

ManlikeTee:
Hi guys,

Please I plan to submit my online application on 2nd November and i have a question about the accommodation documents.

Got married in the UK last month(have marriage visitor visa) but my wife still lives with her parent. We got an apartment and our move in date is 26th October 2018. The documents we plan to submit as the accommodation documents are

1. Tenancy agreement
2. Letter from Landlord
3. Pictures of the apartment
4. Receipt of the deposit and first rent (since we won't have any utility bills or council tax bill by the time we send our documents to the Home office)
5. A brief note by my wife explaining why we got the apartment close to submitting our application (She's the kind of person that cant stay or live alone).

Please do you think i still have to include Property Inspection Report? Man is trying to cut down cost oo coz the apartment cost alone was much .

I will post my checklist here for dem bosses to check, stamp and sign before sending my documents to the UK home office.
