Need help visa runs out on 2nd of March don't know what to do

[Somabest3435]

So I am on a spouse visa currently (flm) I can't meet the income requirement and I have not done the English language test or life in the UK. I have two children who are British citizen and they are both under 16. Now I have heard there is a way under a different visa but I don't know what it is. Can anyone help me please

Apply on FLR(FP) Partner route before your visa expres. This will put you on the 10 year route, ie 4 x 2.5 year visa extensions, as FLR(FP) falls under different family immigration rules as you don't meet the requirements.

Presumably you mean you don't meet the requirements for ILR if you have you been here for 5 years on a spouse visa??

So if I get granted this can i apply for indefinite leave to remain after the 2.5 years ?

No, you cant. You will be put on a 10 year route to ilr if you apply for FLR FP

So I have to wait a full 10 years

10 years from your initial date of entry to the UK yes. So you will require the extension now, plus one more.

You cannot combine FLR(M) spouse visa time with FLR(FP) Partner/child visa time for ILR based on 5 years residence. They are two different sets of immigration rules. They can only be combined for ILR based on 10 years long residence using form SET(LR).

Everytime you switch between visa categories and immigration rules, your 5 year ILR clock will reset to zero.

Ah okay thanks for clarifying do you know the price for FLR p?

[CR001]

Same as for a spouse visa on FLR(M).

Visa fee is £1048

IHS Fee is £2,587.50 for a 2.5 year visa
