Hey guys,
So, we are just finishing up our FLR (M) application and had a few questions about the application + final document check list.
I am currently on a Tier 4 visa and now applying for my first FLR (M). we are doing the in-person appointment which is on the 15th of December.
Just to confirm, the questions that do not apply to us such as children and others we leave blank, but still include the whole application itself.
1.13 Home Office reference number for applicant, I am not sure if I have one? Is it supposed to be in my BRP or?
2.3 Confirming that we choose the second option (first application from within the UK but have not previously applied as partner)
3.9 How long has your sponsor lived in the UK? (How to write it? Born in UK / Lifetime / Entire Life/ etc)
6.8 Add all addresses you and your sponsor have lived at in the 2 years preceding this application if you have lived as your current address with your sponsor for less than 2 years. (We weren't sure if we were meant to add our individual addresses from the last two years to this (there's nothing to say who lived there), or whether it's just to add other addresses that we lived at together (so leave blank)?
6.23 What type of ceremony was your marriage or civil partnership? We got married at the registry office, so do we say a civil marriage?
6.33 Do you and your sponsor have any shared financial responsibilities? Does this mean our bills? We have joint bills and I work part time but we figured to not include my job as its only part time and I have been working there for less than six months (and my husband meets the financial requirement)
7.3A Income from salaried employment - Only complete this section if you and/or your sponsor are working (Just to double to check to only include his employment details as he meets the requirement, so I leave mine blank?)
7.13 Does anyone other than your sponsor live in the property? Y/N (We aren't sure whether this question includes me or? It is just me and my husband in a one bedroom apartment so do I say yes and specify myself?)
8.4 Have you passed an acceptable English language test provided by a test provider approved by the Home Office for this purpose (I am not sure about this, my CAS letter for my Tier 4 visa says I do not need to take an English test because I am from an English majority speaking country, so I just put no?
9.15 Give details of the British diplomatic post(s) involved if the application(s) was or were made abroad (does this mean my current application? I applied for the Tier 4 visa in Dubai and
Used the in-person appointment as well so I am not sure whether to leave it blank or not?)
