There was a small issue at the border control, I think it was because I arrived on the last day and maybe because the system showed my refusals. I was put in a waiting area (you know next to queue with glass walls) for like 5 minutes, but everything was fine and they let me in! That’s really useful...
I successfully crossed the border last night and got my card today:) There was a small issue at the border control, I think it was because I arrived on the last day and maybe because the system showed my refusals.

Hi just a quick question. How does home office know that you have paid extra for the keep my passport service. Home Office doesn’t know I think, as it’s a service provided independently by the visa centre. Just like any other premium services they offer. That’s why the visa centre is the one who ca...

I am flying to the UK on September 5 - last day for me to arrive to UK, and next day going to post office to collect the card. I am so happy, but also so disappointed that nobody wrote me anything abo...

There is a small update - the decision was made but I do not know the outcome neither do not have passport in my hands. I contacted UKVI - which was really useless and only managed to escalate my enquiry further to find out when I would be able to get my passport back. So far I know the timeline 2 ...
I honestly do not know how long it takes, but based on the fact it is almost a month since my passport is in the visa centre - LONG. It has been around 60 days until they made a decision. As far as I am aware, the period starts when they RECEIVE AND START reviewing, not when you submitted online app...

Small update: my husband received all supporting documents. So far we did not get any updates about the visa. But as far as I understand UKVI sent all supporting documents back same time as it was notified I gave my passport to the visa centre. Hope for good news very soon! Sometimes, there are sma...
I hope it is not for the refusal. The thing is I once have been refused visa before. Same Spouse visa, did not meet financial requirements (other things were totally fine). Back then my passport was kept from the beginning of the application and I saw zero stamps/reference numbers put in my passpor...
The other thing that I feel my passport will be always at the visa centre is that last time I opted out my passport to be delivered by the courier (DHL) and the visa worker put my passport into DHL envelop and put only my home address, which leads me to the conclusion it never left visa centre, was...

Yes, They scanned my passport when I was submitting biometric data. Plus all my travel info is in my application form. I gave my passport today, asked again about the reason, did not get any answer much. Probably, visa centre people are instructed to be as neutral as possible ( and make people worry...
Hi there. Sorry if writing to the wrong section, but need some advice. In May I have applied for a settlement visa (I am from Russia, husband is British) from my home country. Because the process is long I chose to keep my passport to allow me to travel and see my husband in Europe while waiting for...
