After the start of your Spouse visa. However, there is no absence limit for holders of this category of visa. Just be truthful of the dates.cham2024 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 3:13 pmHi all,
I'm on a spouse visa and am planning to apply for the extension of this. Currently in the process of filling the application form online and feeling unsure as to how to provide an answer to this particular section/questions in the form:
Time Spent Outside the UK: "Have you been out of the UK since you started living here?" (to which I have answered 'Yes') & "Details of time spent outside the UK".
For 'Details of time spent outside the UK', do I need to include all holidays for when I was out of the country before and after the start of my Spouse visa (in Dec 2021)? Or do I include only the details and dates for when I was out of the UK after the start of my Spouse visa?
Thank you very much,
Cham
Hi, thank you very much for the reply. I have included all the dates I was out of the UK for holidays just in case (most of them were 2-4 days in Europe). To make sure all the dates are accurate, I am using the stamp dates in my passport.Casa wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 3:54 pmAfter the start of your Spouse visa.

This is correct, date of application is when you submitted. You will not be an overstayer if your biometrics comes after expiry of current leave as you have submitted an in time application.cham2024 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 5:05 pmHi,Casa wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 3:54 pmAfter the start of your Spouse visa.

I also want to confirm the application/submission date. My BRP states that my spouse visa is valid until 15th June 2024. I am planning to apply on or a few days after May 18th so I will not fall short of the 5-year route.
What I want to confirm is, if I apply on 18th or 19th May, and I find a date for biometrics and submit documents after 15th June, I won't be counted as an "overstayer", as the submission date will be taken as the date I submit the application online (18th or 19th May). Not when I attend the Biometrics appointment. Could you please confirm if this is correct?
Many thanks,
Cham
At the time of making the application what is applicable?cham2024 wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 5:04 pmHi,
I am currently in the process of doing the online application for the renewal of my spouse visa. In the online form, for the "Home Details" section where it has asked "Do you own or rent your home?", I'm unsure which one to tick. This is because my husband and I are currently renting but have just bought a new house, which we are moving into next month (the official completion date is 31st May 2024).
As I am planning to submit the application this Saturday (18th May), so it seems logical to tick the "Rent" option, and later when submitting the documents stage, explain in the cover letter that we have moved to our new property that we own and provide the necessary details for this. Will this be okay? Please advise.
Many thanks & best wishes,

We are at the moment still renting but exchanged contracts for the new house last week. So will be moving to the new bought house first week of next month.AmazonianX wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 1:10 amAt the time of making the application what is applicable?cham2024 wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 5:04 pmHi,

IMHO, this is not of material significance to the application that address/residence was changed after application. Do ensure you have means to get correspondence from the address should any be sent there by HO.cham2024 wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2024 12:57 pmWe are at the moment still renting but exchanged contracts for the new house last week.

Go with rent in application. You may explain full circumstances in a cover letter if it puts your mind more at rest.cham2024 wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2024 11:55 amThank you, this is helpful.

Earlier response stands: provide documentation of or about where you are living currently, provide explain about new house in letter.cham2024 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2024 10:38 amHello,
I'm currently in the process of getting my documents ready for the Bio-metrics appointment. I submitted my online application on 23 May 2024, and I am yet to book the appointment as I am getting all documents ready.
My husband and I have very recently purchased a house, but we are still living in our rented property (until end of this month) as the new house requires some building work to be done before moving in. In the document checklist, for the "Evidence of council tax costs for the accommodation in the UK where you live or will live refers to initial spouse application by my own interpretation", should I include the council tax of the current rented property or the new property, or both?
Also related to this, how many council tax bills should I provide?
Many thanks,
Cham

Any council tax within last 2years should suffice.
Thank you AmazonianX.AmazonianX wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2024 3:18 amIf spaced 3-4months apart and covering last 2years, should be alright.
Thank you once again for you previous response. I am also planning to include my online O2 mobile bill as one of the items of correspondence.

Thank you very much for your reply. I also have one more question regarding bank statements. When I first applied for the spouse visa in 2021, my husband and I got our bank statements stamped from our local bank branch as a confirmation that these are original. I went to my bank to get my bank statements stamped for this time as well, however they informed me that I don't need these stamped as the Home Office is able to do the checks through their own processes. Therefore, I decided not to get our bank statements stamped this time, is this okay? Or would you advice getting these stamped just in case?AmazonianX wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 4:42 amcham2024 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2024 1:58 pmThank you once again for you previous response.
