FLR(M) Visa Questions

No, not an issue. The cut-off date for finances is your online application date, so a pay rise implemented after that date will have no bearing on the application.

They can only consider the lowest level of salary you were paid in the 6 months leading up to the application submission, so even if the pay rise had happened just before you submitted, it still wouldn’t have an effect on the visa.

Okay cool. Thank you so much for your response.

Got my approval email today!

Thank you so much for your help ksand and larrabee!

Only two weeks after my biometrics appointment. Not bad at all!

Congratulations !

That's really good for your processing time!

Congratulations!!! 

That's fantastic!  So glad it same so quickly.  You got that approval without using super priority service?  I'm debating about what to do with my upcoming submission.

Congratulations again.  Very happy for you!

For FLR, unless you really need to travel, it makes most sense not to do priority. Rather save the money for ILR priority so that you can move on with citizenship/life asap.

Thank you!

And yeah we didn't get the super priority and I'm so glad we didn't. Exactly as larrabee said it made more sense to save that money for ILR priority.

Wishing you luck with yours!

Sorry just thought of a couple thing about documents if anyone has any ideas. When uploading correspondence is it okay if all of them are in their own file? Or if there are two pieces of mail for one period should they be in the same pdf?

For the initial visa we needed to print off proof of paying for IHS. Is that still the case or because it's online they will get confirmation on their end?

I'm curious if you got an answer to these questions.  What did you end up doing?

Thanks!

Ah, I thought I'd answered these, but it looks like I didn't after all.

For the IHS, you enter the IHS payment reference number into the online application, so there is no need to include a receipt.

For the files,  it should be 1 file for each item of correspondence, with each file labelled with exactly what document it is.

For example:
Correspondence_July_2021_Joint_Council_Tax.pdf
Correspondence_November_2021_Applicant_Bank_State ment.pdf
Correspondence_November_2021_Sponsor_Water_Bill.p df

The instructions for how to upload documents, what file size and format/filenames to use are all here:
https://www.ukvcas.co.uk/faq

From that page:

How do I prepare my documents to upload onto the UKVCAS website?

Follow these guidelines to upload documents to the UKVCAS website:

- Documents must be in PDF (preferred), JPG or PNG format
- The file name should be simple e.g. bank-statement-Apr-2018.pdf
- File names must not contain special characters: for example #, ë, or words separated by dots (e.g. bank.statement.apr.2018.pdf)
- Do not upload any password protected documents as the UKVI cannot open them
- Documents must not have a file size larger than 6MB. To minimise the file size:
     - we recommend scanning in black and white or greyscale and not in colour
- Keep the resolution between 150 dpi (dots per inch) to 300 dpi.

I'm curious if you got an answer to these questions.  What did you end up doing?

Thanks!

Yeah, exactly as Ksand said!
