Hello. Late last year my wife made an online application for UK nationalization. She is currently awaiting the decision. She scanned her current Vietnamese passport as part of the application process. However her Vietnamese passport is due to expire in two weeks time and she wishes to renew it. Is s...
Hi all. Just wanted to provide an update as my wife received her 5-year route partner visa last week! If you know you are right persistence and patience can eventually pay off :D . She is still concerned that the one year delay in receiving her visa could in turn delay when she can apply for Indefin...
Hello, My wife entered the UK on the 5-year partner route on 3rd October 2017. Her first visa expired on 5th June 2020 but her extension application decision was delayed firstly due to the covid pandemic and then due to a Home Office error. She was finally granted her visa extension on 8th March 202...
Further update ..... Yes it does appear to be a reconsideration, we confirmed via admin review enquiries, despite their use of the word review, but based on experience of others it looks like four months plus before we might hear the outcome :? . I think by upholding our complaint it does not necess...
We finally received a reply from the Home Office regarding my wife's visa application complaint. To recap - my wife was granted the wrong visa route because the HO calculated her annual salary incorrectly. Their response is still confusing (please see below). Could anybody help with the following qu...
Hi Tho, I think you are probably right regarding the pre-action protocol. I've had a quick look at other experiences regarding asking for a reconsideration and many people have not received a response after four months. At least with a PAP they have to respond within 14 days. Even if that then leads...
Hi all and thank you for your suggestions regarding my wife's visa problem. Tod we did make a complaint, but that was more than 20 working days ago and we have heard precisely .... nothing. I believe you are not allowed to complain about the outcome of an application so this could be why? I've come ...
TODMATT, yes her employer did state clearly she was paid every 4 weeks, extract below: 'This is to confirm that Xxxxx Xxxxx at the above address has been employed by our company since 31st August 2019. She is working full time and her position is permanent. Her current gross wage is £1,494 every 4 w...
Hi TODMATT, The relevant part of the letter was as follows: GRANT OF LEAVE TO REMAIN TEN YEAR PARTNER ROUTE Dear Xxxxx, You applied for leave to remain on 22 May 2020 under the Appendix FM 5-year partner route. However we have decided that you meet the requirements of the 10-year partner route under...
Thanks THO that sounds like a good approach. I don't think there should be a problem with furlough pay. The decision letter stated as follows: 'Your salaried income has a few months evidence of furlough pay. Concessions allow your usual monthly gross of £1,494.00 to be used for your annual income ca...
Hello, My wife applied for her spouse visa extension on 20th May last year under the 5 year partner route. We finally received a decision from the Home Office on 16th December (great timing just before Christmas!). To our surprise, her application was refused on the basis that she supposedly failed ...
