Dear ODOOA,

Firstly, let me welcome you to the UK. I think all your questions have been answered on the previous posts if you go back and read from the beginning of the posts on this thread.

You and your spouse can have 6 or more if you have documents like Council Tax, Gp letter, Building society, bank statements, Telephone statements and electricity statements. It could be 2 or 3 years and could be joint or separate letters - if separate it must be addresed to the same address where both you and your spouse lives. And it starts from when you begin to receive the documents.

I was granted my FLR in October but I know the form you checked and filled using a proxy name would have been updated by the time you are due for your FLR. I'll advice you wait until 2 or 3 months before the expiration of your visa to start checking forms to be filled. Don't bother yourself on FLR form now but bother more on and start preparing to gather the documents you will need and money to spend for the FLR application when the time comes - 2023 is around the corner.

Your spouse has to register your name on the Council Tax bills by calling and informing them to add your name so that both of you will be receiving the tax bills as soon as your spouse is able to call.

I did not register my TB certificate with the GP when I arrived here, maybe things have changed now but my spouse called the GP and I was given an appointment to register with the GP. It was after I registered with the GP that I received a letter of appointment to do another TB test which I did then. Your spouse need to call the GP so you can book appointment, it may probably be online.


Since your BRP states that the visa is Valid until 1st May 2023. Then your visa is expiring on 01 May 2023, then you can apply from 28 days before the expiration of your visa. But try and read the posts from the beginning on this thread and you will find them helpful. Thank you.

Congratulations to Lamakinde and tayeby78. I got the decision letter last Friday that my application has been granted. My BRP arrived today. I applied in June with the documents stated on this thread. You all are doing a great job with this thread. Thanks to everyone that has contributed. To those still waiting - yours will surely come and we shall celebrate with you all. Once again, thank you very much.

Thank you very much @romeoandjuliet. Regards.

Congratulations Benz101 on your successful application.

Romeoandjuliet, you confirmed your hubby wrote and passed the test, could you let me know if your hubby wrote B1 or B2 please?

Thank you.

I am using this medium to thank those who began this forum for a great work and a great job they have done and are still doing.

Although I didn’t discover this forum until I have spent over a year in the UK but I am glad to be part of this forum.

Congratulations to MrsDutse and Obabola123 who recently informed this group of their testimonies and experiences and others who got their extensions this year and previous year, also appreciate everyone for the timely guidance and suggestions given to members of the forum.

I have gone through the threads and posts by so many people in this forum and have learnt so much from all I have read. I will begin to put my papers together for the next phase based on all I’ve read from everyone who advised, suggested, and shared their experiences on the good news from HO.

I pray that those who have sent their applications and those who will still send theirs this year will share good news with us soon and for the rest of us who still have some time that our own time of testimony will come.

Thank you all and God bless us all.
