So, thanks to the advice on this site we sent off a request for an extension of FLR(M) before my wife's initial two year visa expired on the 16th August. Got a letter confirming receipt, but nothing else since then.
We just had a baby on the 6th and would like to get his passport sorted as I'm due to speak at a conference in the middle east on the 20th. I have a second passport, but can american mom apply for a second passport and use that to travel while she's awaiting the decision of the visa? What is her current immigration status?
Additionally, we haven't heard anything about arranging an appointment for the biometrics, do we do this after we have received the visa?
