Hi

I am doing my application for FLR(M). I had applied my first visa and UKBA had granted me 2 year and 6 months visa. now i need to do my extension application, as i am on 5 year route. Please advise which option to select

Reason for extension

Please choose the reason you are applying for an extension, this includes if you are switching to a partner visa from another type. (Required)

• 1- First extension as a partner (following an initial period of entry as a partner, or as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner of a settled person)
  
  2- Additional extension as a partner
  
  3- First application as a partner from within the UK (for example, you are currently in the UK on another type of visa or permission to stay)
  
  4- You delayed your travel to the UK by more than 3 months after the issue of a visa and have not yet completed the required amount of time on a partner visa (not including as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner)
  
  5- You require more time to meet the Knowledge of Language and Life in the UK requirements to apply for settlement
  
  6- You were granted entry as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner, but have not yet married or entered into a civil partnership

First option - 1- First extension as a partner (following an initial period of entry as a partner, or as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner of a settled person)

Your first visa is - Entry as a Partner which is 2.6 yrs. Hence it should be first option.
