So, finally today, my wife got her passport back. Thanks only to the persistence of us and my MP. No need to ask who I'll be voting for in future. Vignette - 21st July to 20th August??!! Absolutely shocking, unbelieveable incompetence of the highest order :evil: Fortunately though, thanks to my MP g...

I think you need to submit it all again as new with an updated Property Inspection Report. They will want to see evidence that nothing has changed. See

Sections 6, 9, 10 and 11

My word of the day "redacted"

Here is a link to quite long document but you may find it very useful to study it carefully. The immigration rules as they apply to accessing Public Funds. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/518624/Public_funds_v13.0.pdf In there you will find that the HO can s...

They will write directly to your wife because it is her applicatiion! Unless they have misunderstood the application and got it completely back to front, I think it could possibly be to do with the fact that you claimed benefits during a period of the sponsorship and they are trying to ascertain if ...

What are your nationalities? Estonian citizens with an Estonian residence card do not need a Visa or family permit to visit the UK see https://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/can-an-eu-residence-card-holder-visit-the-uk-without-a-visa-t166484.html https://www.immigrationboards.com/e...

There has been 1, Kokab223 p15 of Pakistan timeline. Biometrics submitted 3rd May although application 19th April. I've seen on another forum that they are definitely processing and sending out decisions from applications in May. The latest one I saw was 24th May. I'm sure you will see movement ove...

I dont think HO has seen any of the May applications Yet from pakistan, its taking too long There has been 1, Kokab223 p15 of Pakistan timeline. Biometrics submitted 3rd May although application 19th April. I've seen on another forum that they are definitely processing and sending out decisions fro...

When I called them and asked the same question, they told me the only way to have the passport returned part way through processing is to withdraw the application and forfeit the fee.

If it is an emergency, it can be looked into, but I understand this to mean medical grounds.

It's the biometrics date.

As I said, it depends upon the explanation for the discrepancy. I can't advise how to get around the rules.

It would certainly look very odd but it would all depend on the explanation. Are you paid in cash? A payslip is a legal document and so is a bank statement. It would need an excellent reason from the company/sponsor why they differ if it's an electronic transfer and that's just for tax and NI reason...

We applied on 19 May 2017 in Istanbul and today received an e-mail saying that a decision has been made. 54 working days in total. Noone answered our queries, MP or solicitors during this time Now, what happens? Will local TlS contact my wife and say the passport is ready to be collected? How long ...

Thank you so much to everybody who suppported, advised and shared our journey. We are espe...

I am helping a friend (British Passport holder, originally from Serbia) submit a Settlement Visa for his wife (they married recently in Kosovo). His wife, from Kosovo, has a 9-year-old child from a previous marriage (divorced a number of years ago, the child is in the custody of the mother). The ex...

That's only for applications made from inside the UK.

We made our application from Russia - outside of UK. Worked for me and still works for me. Shows "Decided" 13th July.

Hi Simon, We spoke the other day, im sorry to hear it still does not look like you have had an email for your wife to collect her visa. My wife got her email to collect today and happy to say we got the visa with the valid date from 3rd August 2017. We only had our decision made email through on 28...

Yes, that's normal. Will not tell anything different until 2 days after decision is made.

From what I can ascertain, the NARIC only expires if the institution or degree ceases to be on the approved list. The sections that I think apply here are 4.3 and 4.4 on p17 of the following https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/605687/Appendix_FM_Section_1.21.pdf...

Receiving your documents back unfortunately does not necessarily mean they have made a decision. However, it could mean that at least an ECO has looked at it and it's in the final stages. Where did you apply from? Was it a priority application? Check this website https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov....

We applied priority in April. Decison was communicated to us after 58 working days by email to my wife. The actual decision was made on the 57th working day. I have an email response from them and was told when I called them that they count day 1 as the day after biometrics. They and my MP also tol...

Applied priority mid-May and requested escalation via paid e-mail service 13 working days ago. Received an email response today saying that they cannot look into the status of application before 12 weeks SLA is completed. Has anyone had similar experiences and what are the chances of receiving an o...
