All New Guide - How to apply for a Spouse/Partner Visa

[songz777]

Not sure what the requirements are for the new visa for the further stay, but perviously the ILR requirements are more about are you still together rather than the salary. Also when you are ready to apply both yourself and your partner's (if working) salaries will be taken into consideration,

To be honest I would worry about the requirements you need now rather than what may happen in 33 months time. From what I understand you are not applying till next year, a lot could change by then, let alone a couple of years from now.

Thanks Rusty I think I am inclined to agree with your statement == more inclined .. are you still together as a couple == Thanks

Firstly, imo, it will not be so easy to implement any instant deportations.

Solely as a hyperthetical question at this stage.

If the applicant for FLR or even ILR fails the financial requirement, in principle they would be granted further leave on the 10 year route if they qualify for it on Article 8 grounds.
If they applied within 28 days of the expiry of their existing leave, their time on the five year route will count towards the 10 year route.
If an applicant for FLR or ILR had overstayed by more than 28 days, they will have broken their continuous leave and their time on that route will not count towards the 10 year route if they qualify for it.

I think at this time it's too early and too complex to enter into all the arguements and legal processes beyond that. A lot of water still to pass under that bridge.

John, does that help in some way?

Sorry, I don't really understand your question. There is no extension of ILR
Perhaps you misunderstood something.
Are you under 'new rules' or 'old rules'?

When it's your time to apply for ILR, then currently the earliest time you are allowed to apply is 28 days before the end of your qualifying period and the latest time is the expiry of the currently held visa.

Does that help you with your understanding?
