Musings on FLR(M) postal applications

You never know! I keep expecting to find the cheque lying around the house meaning I forgot to post it!

Same has Timmers said Good luck Maharg.

Hi Im new here, just want to ask how much is the cost for flr(m) by post? Thank you..

£649 for single applicant + £500 NHS surcharge

Thank you

Don't forget about paying the NHS surcharge

If you’re applying by post, you must pay the healthcare surcharge online before you send your application - you’ll need to include the IHS reference number on your application form

My own cheque for 649 quid was cashed on 17 November. So even if postal applications can take a few months, cashing the cheque is pretty quick!

Thanks trimmers, I will pay first the nhs surcharge before sending my application..

I will pay by cheque for my application..

So far so good.

Received the letter today to go to a Post Office to register biometrics within 15 days.

That means the visa has been granted gol lad Graham

I don't think so. The letter says they can't process the application until they receive biometrics.

Naturally our local Post Office doesn't do it so we need a trip to Reading at the weekend.

When they ask you to do the biometrics it means at least that your application is valid as in you submitted all the correct paperwork, they give you 15 days to make an appointment for the biometrics being done, doesn't meet you have to get it done in 15 days just means you have to make the appointment.

Nearly there

I can't make an appointment. It's just a case of turn up at the Post Office and queue I think.

I did try and phone just to be sure about that but was on hold for so long that I gave up waiting. Maybe I'll try again just to be sure, but I don't think you can make an appointment.

Hi maharg, just wanna ask did you photocopies all of your documents and send also the photocopies to HomeOffice?

I did, yes.

Hi how did you pay using cheque? Did you put " Home office leave to remain " or did you write " payable to Home Office Leave to Remain " and Did you put A/C payee only..please guide me..

I just put "Home Office Leave To Remain". They've cashed it so it must have been ok!

If you look on the cheque, normally "AC Payee only" is already written on there so you don't need to put it yourself. Best to check that though.

How about at the back of the cheque what am I going to write ? Who is going to signed because I'm going to use my husband cheque..

If the cheque is your husbands then he has to sign it. Otherwise it isn't a valid cheque.

On the back you write the full name, nationality and date of birth of the applicant - ie your own details.
