ThaiVisaExpress Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 You mean she has 2 years further leave to remain in the UK ? Or she is on a 2 year settlement visa please clarify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Like TVE, I am confused as to which type of visa your wife has; an initial settlement visa as a spouse or partner is valid for 27 months and FLR is valid for 24 months. I don't know of a "3 years limited leave to remain uk visa." Whatever type of visa or leave to remain your wife has, her daughter, if successful, will be given the same. First step is for you to read Children of British citizens and settled people and SET07 - Children, paying particular attention to SET7.8 What is sole responsibility?

7by7 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Well, that's a new one to me! Always something new to learn. Anyway, the links provided earlier should give you the information your need for your step-daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl1971 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hi, My wife has been give 3 yrs limited leave, My wife came on a fiancee visa for 6 months (March 2011) then we applied for FLR expiry date 5/11/2014. We are also going to bring my wifes son to the UK (settlement), We intend to send all documentation including the sole responsibility document via recorded post , to my wifes Sister, who will then accompany our step son to VFS , I just need to clarify if this is OK with the UKBA. Hopefully when the Visa is proceesed and approved , we will then travel to Bangkok to collect the little man. Happy Days Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
