It looks like his will be appealed.

I did all that for me and my wife and those I did of my wife's passport were discarded and they did every page with anything on it on their passport scanner.

I haven’t read form the beginning but if this is for FLR or ILR, there is no point in scanning your wife's passport. They have a special passport scanner they will use at the appointment. For yours...

For the bank statements I printed them all out. had them stamped and dated and scanned the lot and created a PDF for each month.

For FLR I asked Santander at my local university to stamp and date each page of my bank statements. They are used to doing it for student visas. Payslips and your P60 should be fine. You upload...

The only free appointments are available at the Core centres and the closest to us was Croydon. They are also very few and far between. We ended up going to Reading Library which is much simpler and...

I suppose I have only looked at the costs for my wife. My wife was already in Bangkok for her TB cert. She stayed with her cousin and his wife for a couple of weeks while her fiancée visa went...

The same amount as?

Language test is £150. TB test is 3500 baht, if I remember. They no longer require photos. Travel could bump it up a bit though. Translations are not that expensive. £30 for a...

FLR is £1033 and the IHS fee is £1000.

ILR is £2389 but no IHS fee.

Here is a link to all of then visa costs:

It's to make sure it's the same person applying each time.

Oh dear. Spare me the party political broadcast.

When you think that the NHS will fix you regardless of your health problems, £400 per annum is a bargain, bearing in mind no other money will have been paid into the system.

Private health...

Nope. Nothing you can do about it even if she was.

If you earn well above the national average in tax it means you are probably doing well. That is why you are paying more tax. The more you earn, the more tax you pay.

I could say I am being ripped...

Exactly. We have people coming here, never having paid a penny into the system. £625 a year is a bargain if you factor in what it could cost if somebody had a bad accident, a rare illness or worse....

I will confirm this tomorrow as I'm swapping a hard drive on the computer at the moment. My wife's last visa is on it...

I think I put 01/01/1900 in the answer to "When did your child first enter...

I completed it and provided names of my wife's family and gave chapter and verse of her son too. On her first FLR we had to provide his original birth certificate too with a translation. That was a...

Or a serious amount of studying is done before taking it, of course!

My wife's boss passed on the fourth go but refused any help from anybody.

I read it differently to you I think. I thought the OP was suggesting that cash was a bit tight and was doing ILR for his wife and only applying for FLR for the daughter to save a bit of cash. That...

I thought a bit more about this and checked and the costs are not that far apart.



Indefinite leave to remain is

£2,389


with no NHS surcharge.

My annual mortgage statement has always been enough for my wife's FLR visas.

I submitted my wife's second FLR back in April on the day of expiry of her FLR visa. We then submitted everything at...
