Risks & important considerations
Current eligibility
A previous family visa does not guarantee an extension. Check that your relationship and relevant immigration requirements remain satisfied.
Updated financial records
Earlier application documents may no longer be enough. Confirm the current evidence rules and any applicable transitional provisions.
Extension or settlement
Some applicants may qualify for ILR while others need further permission. Choosing the wrong application can create avoidable difficulties.
