    Hi there
    The mrs visa expired on 16th october
    Am i right in thinking we cant apply before 28 days before the expired visa? Or are we ok starting now? We have filled in docs on the gov website and are at the point off paying the ihs surcharge... Was wonderin if this is ok to pay at this point?

    Earliest you can apply is 19 September do not pay now as when you pay triggers application date which is to early before the 19th

    They the UK government are putting NI details and BRP on one card target date 2024, so no worries and no cost. You will be updated nearer the time.
    Congratulations by the way
