Further leave to remain

[Slip]

That's correct Slip initial entrance visa is valid for a maximum 33 months it's just to give that person a 3 month window to initially enter UK so basically as long as Harlene has completed a minimum 30 months residency then she can apply for FLR so will put it like this:

Earliest Harlene can apply for FLR is 02/05/17 ie: maximum 28 days before her 30 month residency.

The latest is what it says on her visa 21/08/17 so hopefully that gives you time to sort things out and a bit of a window for manoeuvre.

As soon as your set with the requirements UKVI require and within the dates I have said then apply, it may be sooner than the latest expiry on her visa and at least another step onwards and upwards.

Wishing you the best of luck,

Mark...

Well we are almost there.... So I guess it's time I start looking into things and asking questions.

Hopefully we meet the financial requirements? I don't earn £18,600 in my current job, around £500 short a year from it. But if from what I've been told that they take Harlene's salary into account too, than we should be ok... If not I do have some savings that should be satisfactory. We have been struggling on my wages and trying not to touch my savings. Just so we meet the requirements. I'm also desperate for a better paid job, but want to get the For out of the way first.

You have done so much in the last few months, moving to the midlands and finding work, there is lots of work out there but it seems the agencies have first choice on lots of contracts.
Good luck in finding that job.
We have a new chap starting on the 13th plus we are still interviewing for drivers, they are hard to find it seems, " well the right ones ".
