Hi guys. Need some help with the reference number info. I applied for my extension FLR-M visa in April and received a confimation email that states my home office ref number right. Haven't yet enrolled my biometrics or docs, because of COVID. I am eligible to apply for my ILR in early August. So decided to book my test earlier so I can take it and apply for  ILR as soon as I get my results.

So it's asking me here if I have a home office ref number? I assume if there are any existing application, which I have. I'm trying to copy-paste the reference number I received in the email for my FLR-M but as soon as I type that ref number in it's saying:  The Home Office reference normally starts with 1 to 3 letters followed by numbers, is no longer than 13 characters and not less than 7 characters.

This ref number starts with UKVI_ (and then 13 numbers).

Tried different ways, it still not letting me put it in. Anyone has any clue?? May be they are asking for the ILR application ref number?
If anyone knows, please help me out :)

You won’t have a Home Office Reference Number.

Reference numbers are only issued in cases of visa refusals or refugee or asylum applications. They are usually listed on letters sent in the post by the Home Office.

Thanks guys! Appreciate the help. x

If I had a question regarding ILR doc list, could I ask here? Or should I start a new thread?

Sorry, a newbie here. :)

No problem.

We encourage you to keep all your questions about your application in one thread, so that it’s easier for us to keep track of all the information and advice given.

So, best thing to do is start a thread dedicated to your ILR application and post everything in there :)
