Another successful case and testimonial for a UK Spouse visa, FLR(M), switching from Tier 4 Student visa on same-day service.

"1st 4Immigration has been truly amazing! They have helped secure our future which is completely priceless. Me and my partner met over 12 months ago whilst studying on Student VISA in the UK. Our relationship went from strength to strength and we wanted to remain together. We were however concerned with the complications of gaining a VISA extension following our decision to get married. We both understood that the Home Office had increasingly made it difficult to get VISAs and so we did not want to take any risks / chances that our VISA application would not be approved. We sought the help and support of 1st 4Immigration and we were NOT disappointed! 1st 4Immigration assisted us every step of the way and ultimately helped to transfer our Student Tier 4 Visa into a Spouse VISA. A dream come true. Furthermore, our circumstances were rather atypical. Neither of us had full-time permanent jobs and so the financial requirements element was certainly a challenge. However 1st 4Immigration professionally gathered all of our information and determined the most optimal route to obtain our VISA. I used my PhD Studentship finance alongside some part-time fixed-term income to satisfy the financial requirements. 1st 4Immigration were very thorough, checking all of our details with a fine toothcomb. This gave us support and confidence prior to our Home Office appointment. On the day, 1st 4Immigration met us at the Home Office. They were with us from start to finish, pointing us in the right direction. Finally, we got the outcome we needed, acceptance!!! Following our experience, if any other couples or individuals are seeking support getting an entry VISA or are wishing to extend / convert their existing VISA – then simply turn to 1st 4Immigration. You will not regret it! Fast, effective, responsive, supportive and wholly satisfying." 

This came from Matt & Monica, a British - Indian couple. We did have to work on the Financial Requirement, namely on the methods of calculating various sources of income, which would be acceptable by the Home Office.

Updated May 2020: UK visa work continues - latest update

By -
UK immigration authorities continue to process visa applications, albeit not as fast as they normally would. The visa centres are beginning to gradually re-opening from 1 June 2020 in the UK and abroad. Regardless of when your particular centre re-opens, it is still possible to submit your application online. If your visa expires soon, you can apply for your next visa "on-time", i.e. before your current visa expires, by making such an application online and then waiting for the further steps. This keeps you within the Rules and does not make you an overstayer.  Even better, the actual documents (supporting evidence) can be submitted later, thus giving you even more time to prepare while remaining within the Rule on visa expiry dates. We usually have 45 days to provide the documents (ie upload them online to the Government portal) after the online "submission" mentioned above. This is extended for as long as it will take to clear up the backlog.  If you...

UK Visas and Immigration plans to go paperless in 2018. If it works, family visas – for spouses, partners, children etc – will be submitted online instead of the current paper forms and supporting documents.

How do we know? We, 1 st 4Immigration Ltd,   were chosen by the UKVI to take part in a survey to provide a feedback on the upcoming system. We are very honoured! As can be seen on the Home Office letter (pictured), we were selected as one of only approximately 50 firms in the whole country, following the request of the Home Office to the OISC. We had a visit from 2 Home Office officials in November 2017. What a great day and what a productive visit! The officials informed us they had been trying hard to promote the online application process for in-country applications, such as FLR(M) for spouses and partners of UK citizens. The online applications have existed for entry clearance (when applying outside the UK) for many years now. Yet the in-country online application process has so far been relatively unknown and unused. It can be found here: https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/family-routes At the moment most FLR(M) and FLR(FP) applications ar...
