So here is my timeline...

Online Application: 15th Sept 2014
Biometrics: 19th Sept 2014
Visa rejected: 27th Jan 2015
Submission of 2nd online application: 23rd Feb 2015
Biometrics: 2nd March 2015


So here's my question

My TB certificate expires on 4th March 2015.
As you can see above I submitted my online and biometrics just days before the expiry. Will that be a problem with the ECO?


Hey

it should be okay, however they could tell you to do another one before they accept your visa. You may have to email it to them. They they would accept your case taking it account everything else was okay. Iv seen this been done in the past with people who may not have submitted land registry documents. What was your refusal reason for your first application ?
The Land Registry document is an option, not a required document. Whereas the TB test certificate is a required document. But since there are still a few days remaining prior to submitting the application, he/she might get away with it. However, I would have told my spouse to get it done again, especially if one is reapplying after a rejection. Shouldn't take any chances of getting refused.

I got refused before because we didn't submit proper accomodation docs. It was our solicitors mistake.

I couldn't take a new TB test because it requires an x ray and since I was in my initial stages of pregnancy the doctor said you should avoid getting an x ray done so soon its not safe.

We have mentioned this in the cover letter that I couldn't get a new TB test because the applicant is pregnant and cannot be x rayed.

I wanted to know if you are applying settlement wife visa along with a child, i know you have to make separate application for the child but would two sets of every document be required? Like my husband is our sponsor, do have have to make two separate applications for me n our daughter? How can there be two sets of payslips and all? Kindly anyone guide me? Its our 3rd attempt now, but first time with out baby, earlier she wasn't born and it were only my applications.
No only one set of docs will be enough.You could also apply right of abode application for your child instead of child dependent of wife provided the sponsor is British citizen.If you dont want to apply for right of abode then you have to apply for the child separately.You have to fill the application for the child as you filled yourself but and signed by you at the end.

Hey can you confirm why you have been rejected previously ?

Thanks
I applied for the first time in june 2013, it went on hold in sept 2013. We presented 12 months payslips n calculated pay for 12 months but the pay for last 6 months was calculated to be less than 18600 pounds (it was 18400 pounds). Hence we withdrew the case n reapplied in jan 2014 on cat A and D. In sept 2014 it got refused. Our savings were not counted as they didnt approve our property selling documents etc. now we have a daughter too. We intend to apply in august 2015. Now there would b two applications but we confused whether two sets of original documents will be required?
Must be expensive having to reapply for a 3rd time and I'm guessing you've a solicitor handling your case? So solicitor's fees as well etc….

3rd time lucky, let's hope!
TIMELINE

Spouse Visa (Entry Clearance) granted on 20-02-15

Hi mayo99

What do you mean tax for just 6 months !? You cant pay tax for just 6 months. As when you send your visa application off , they check with hmrc how much tax you have paid they dont just check if tax was paid for 6 months unless you have only been working six months, but still after you submit your application you still need to working and paying tax because they do check. For example if you put in your application in the start of january - you need show evidence of the past 6 months which is july to december. They will check you tax record from june to february. Or if you only started working in july then july to february. Point being they check beyond the 6 months. To answer your question you would pay in a year £2080 income tax and £1553 national insurance. This is just rough estimate of £3633.00 a year for 6 months £1816.50.
Thank you so much for ur help fari :)

No problem. :) was that your only reason for rejection.

If the sponsor is british ! Then why don't you apply for a british passport for your daughter. Then you wont have to make an application for your daughter, it would just be spouse.

Yes it is, thats why this time we dont intend to hire a solicitor. Solicitors make mistakes too, they are only concerned with their fee.
