Ooh, this is a good idea! Fortunately our FLR will be in November, so hopefully that won't be too bad for waiting.

Good luck, everyone!

FLR is much more predictable on the whole than the initial partner visas and rarely goes beyond 8 weeks by mail.  :)

I also found it far less stressful because you already know what worked the first time so you can just follow that recipe but tweak it to include the mail to the same address etc.

Add to that the fact that you're both together in country and it all makes for a generally less awful experience all around.  :)

OMG, you guys, so I sent my FLR(M) app on MONDAY, right? Yesterday, we get a letter from Royal Mail for the end of our mail forwarding package thingy. Not only did it have BOTH of our UK addresses on it, but it was the only piece of mail we've ever gotten with all five of our names (me, K, and 3 kids).

TWO days too late it comes...would have been so helpful!  :P

Nah! You're just fine without that. Don't give it a second thought!  :)

Trying to figure out when I can actually GET there to do it. Of course, the closest one to me is still 30 min away. They're open on Saturday, but I'd rather try and do it mid-week, if I can, to save time!

And I did check my application status and it says "awaiting a decision" - woo hoo!  ;)

They can't actually start processing your application until after you have given your biometrics, so that just means it has been logged into the system. Nothing more will happen until your biometrics are taken and have been transmitted electronically to UKVI.

Yes, but at least it showed up this time, so I know it's actually in the system. :)

There's a post office just outside Birmingham New Street station that does it, so I might try to be there right at 9am on Saturday and hope I can get it done quickly (children's birthday party at 12:30).

I got my BRP today! That means I'm approved, right?!

I haven't gotten any letter or my passport back though?
