FLR (M) Premium Centre checklist
« on: October 20, 2014, 08:29:26 AM »
Having just married on Thursday (yay!), my wife has her premium centre FLR(M) appointment in Belfast this coming Wednesday. In all the hullabaloo,  we haven't had much time to comprehensively check our list of required docs: we may have too little, or too much. Can any one of you advise us of potential shortfalls in our evidence? We currently have:

FLR (M) form
Appointment confirmation
Both passports
Both birth certs
Sponsor letter
Applicant letter
Marriage certificate
Private tenancy agreement
6 months payslips
6 months statements
Employer letter
P60
Relationship evidence (same as supplied with fiancee visa application in July)

We cannot obtain land registry in NI.

Do we have enough, or is more required?

Congratulations :).

You also need to include 2 passport photos of your wife with her full name on the back and one of yourself with your full name on the back (as per the instructions on the FLR(M) form).

You don't need any birth certificates and if you are applying in person, you don't need an applicant letter or a sponsor letter either... because you will be there in person to talk to them about your application.

If you are renting and have a tenancy agreement with both your names on, you don't need anything else for the accommodation. A land registry document would only be required if you own your own property or are living with family who own their own property.

Otherwise, you include everything that you included for the fiance visa, but with your marriage certificate instead of evidence of plans to marry. The relationship evidence isn't as important though as you are now married and are living together (so don't have to prove that you are in regular contact while living apart).

You are also supposed to include 6 documents addressed to both of you at the same addressed as evidence of living together since she arrived in the UK in July. So, if you have any official documents addressed to both of you, either jointly or separately (either 6 joint or 12 separate or a combination of both), you need to include those too (the acceptable documents and instructions for this are on the FLR(M) form).

As you are applying in person, it's a good idea to take with you more than you need in terms of documents, rather than less, because you can always then just produce the extra ones if you are asked for them.

I was told that we didn't need 6 documents at the address for the initial FLR.  As my wife only arrived in the UK 3 weeks ago, the same date we moved into our house, neither of us has amassed enough official documentation addressed to pur abode to meet this requirement :(

Well, it's a little confusing, because the new FLR(M) form, dated August 2014, states that you need to include documentation 'since your last grant of leave in this category', but it's not clear whether it includes fiance visas or not (as they are settlement visas, but aren't FLR(M) visas).

If she only arrived 3 weeks ago (sorry - I read July for the fiance visa application and thought you meant she arrived then), obviously, you won't be able to provide the documents anyway, so if they ask, just explain that you don't have any yet. It's not going to be a problem.

If she's not been in the UK for that long, it's fine.  If you have any mail that shows you living together at the same address, it's a plus, but in this case where you're quickly switching from fiance(e) visa to FLR(M) it's fine.

That's great - the fiance visa was awarded in July, but she didn't travel until Sept 23rd, and we have only lived in the house, leased from the 19th, from then. I have official documentation at this address; my wife only Amazon deliveries :(

That's totally fine for now, no worries.  :)

You'll need these items of correspondence for the next application though, so be sure to save official letters for both of you from now on to prove cohabitation.
