Thank you - I'll have a nosey on that tomorrow but just seen the list from @ksand24 - that'll have me sorted. Knowing me I'll probably end up scanning + uploading those documents tomorrow.

For part 3 of the verification do I need to sign this too?

My wife the applicant has signed part 1, I've signed part 2, what about part 3? Do I sign this too?

No, you don't sign part 3 because you do not have a third party financial sponsor.

Third party financial sponsors are not allowed for FLR(M) visas, unless you are exempt from meeting the financial requirements.

Plus, even if you did have a third party financial sponsor, they would be the one to sign it, not you.

Should I just put N/A on it instead of leaving it blank?

No, just leave it blank.

All documents scanned and uploaded to UKVCAS - Bloody heck, that nearly killed me! It took me 2 days to get through all that.

I've also managed to tick off everything on the documents checklist that you can download as well.

Now we await the email for opting into the app if we are eligible for it, i hope we are!

Thank you @larrabee and @ksand24 for the support and guidance.

Good for you! Best of luck!

Thank you - I can sleep much easier now, but then the wait to hear back about the progress of the application will start to creep in haha!


Atleast I have submitted everything now, if they want anything from me they can request it, but I am confident that the application will be go through just fine.

I've submitted the travel document and got the wife to do the verification checks. It was quite comical seeing her do it, but it all went well, it wasn't too difficult.

Now the wait can officially begin.

Here is the generic email that I was expecting to get this month.

 

Due to the volume of correspondence we may be unable to locate your application without this reference and your correspondence may be returned to you.

Thank you for your application for permission to stay in the UK.

We apologise for the inconvenience, but, due to the worldwide response to COVID-19, UKVI services are limited and we are not able to meet our usual service standards.

Although we would normally decide your application within eight weeks from the date it was submitted, unfortunately this may not be possible in your case.

In line with Government advice on essential travel, social distancing and other restrictions related to COVID-19, for the safety of our customers and our staff, the UK Visa and Citizenship Application Service (UKVCAS) locations where you would ordinarily submit your biometric details and provide any documents for scanning that you have not already uploaded yourself have been closed.
Some centres are now opening with limited capacity so you may now be able to get an appointment it is important you attend if an appointment is offered.

Alternatively, you may have already attended an appointment and submitted your biometric details. If this is the case, no further action is required.

If your application was submitted prior to your current grant of leave expiring, your current status within the United Kingdom has been extended by section 3C of the Immigration Act 1971. You do not need to do anything else at this stage and do not need to be concerned about your immigration status.

If you have applied to switch your status in respect of your employment or studies then please refer to the guidance on Gov.UK as you should be permitted to commence work/study prior to your application being decided, should you meet the conditions set out in the guidance.

We apologise for the delay in dealing with your application and for the inconvenience this is causing. Please be assured we will do all we can to make a decision on your case as quickly as possible once your biometric details have been submitted.

We appreciate your patience at this time.

Hang in there! 

Hang in there! 

Aye, I will be. I know the wait is going to be long.
