[ Its august. An extra month is added on at the beginning (I think this is 3 months now) to give her time to get here. Even if she gets here before, this isn't affected. This is incorrect. No extra is added to a spouse entry clearance visa. You may be confusing it with the period of the vignette to ...

I was just wondering, how long does the visa entry stamp last for from Pakistan to the UK? I am asking because I know it used to be 1 month, but have they extended it to 3 months now because of the pandemic?

Think it is 3 now, but not coz of covid, just generally is now.

Get a second opinion but I believe it's valid until the expiry of the current visa on the basis of visas valid as of brexit aren't immediately affected. 29 march 2022 is the date anyone within the EU needs to have done their UK application by. Yours expires in feb if I've calculated properly? So unt...

As much as I would suggest an overall summary of the lowest point the stocks reached would suffice, common sense isn't so common among ECO's so maybe providing everything would be best. If you're submitting these in paper, make a separate file of the relevant documents with reference to it in a cove...

Had a similar issue, although they eventually budged (more comical because I worked in the civil service at the time, I thought they might know the law!). I was advised (whilst they still refused) that it is a legal obligation, so I simply emailed them so the refusal was in writing (note this has to...

My fiancé arrived today at Heathrow airport and was transferred to a managed quarantine hotel location near to Canary Wharf. His flight was a direct one, with Virgin Atlantic, Islamabad to Heathrow. We tried to have him fly from Islamabad (to Istanbul) to Birmingham (via Frankfurt) but Islamabad ai...

For me, the main point to address in the refusal is "you have not visited the UK since 2015 therefore this does not demonstrate cohabitation for at least two years prior to the date of application." I think an any appeal should be focused on covid and travel restrictions (dont know if columbia was ...

Thanks simon Thats how they put it too, but I wasn't sure as its not something I had heard of. Will pass it on 👍 Just for my own info then, if you do apply through this route, would you need to submit anything outside of the normal docs for visa, or would a statement on the cover letter and proof of...

Not sure if its changed, but I applied for mine last jan/feb and was granted within 2-3 weeks. I didn't give whatsapp chat despite plenty of people saying I needed to, as I was told they aren't an independent source of proving a subsisting relationship. They can be used to backup your case if you ap...

Hi all, hope you're well I've been asked to try and find some info about a friend of a friend's case. Essentially, they're employed now, but won't be by the time their visa is due for renewal. This isn't due to covid etc, they were told they would be employed on a fixed term contract and its not loo...

Then why are you putting UK as country of NATIONALITY?? It is the person applying for NI nationality/citizenship. The applicants details have already been entered. As per the OP, these details are for a family member. If I can get through to the helpline, I'll also try and clarify with them. Thanks.

No.

Hi Has anyone tried filling in the online form for an NI number? Having some real problems and the local centre's are closed/not allowing face-to-face contact, so would mean a delay. The form asks for the "country of nationality" for family member. When I put in "United Kingdom" (and all variants of...

Thanks CR001.

I'd just been advised that the extension criteria isn't the same as for the initial visa (the advice wasn't received on this board), but that's cleared up now.

I'll be mindful of starting any new topics related to existing queries, thanks.

Hi all, hope you're well Would someone be able to link me to the page with the official information re: applying for a spouse visa extension financial requirement? I keep being told information that I'm sure is inaccurate, but is nevertheless meaning a lot of paranoia as I can't seem to find any off...

That was for me in a few months (as mentioned in that thread). This is for a friend in 18 months who wanted advice as it'll help him decide whether to take the job or not.

Hi all, hope you're well Just a quick question. A friend of mine will be making an application to extend his wifes visa in 18 months. He has just started a job which will last for 24 months (no potential for extension). It meets all the financial requirements etc. Given this will be confirmed in the...

Great stuff, thanks.

Thanks korekt Sorry, I just read it back and haven't worded it well at all (it's been a long day). I haven't sorted them as yet as I have a bit of time to play with, but documents include bills (with our names on them), GP letters, correspondence from phone providers, bank etc. For these I'm not too...

Hi all, hope everything is well Just a quick (paranoid) question. I'm soon scheduled to apply for the extension of my wife's visa (she arrived in the uk on a standard spouse visa for 2.5 years). Will I need to provide documents for the 6 months prior to renewing or over the whole period the initial ...

It's odd that they're quoting GDPR, as I would have suggested GDPR works in your favour. If you google it, one of the first results is a discussion on here about how GDPR helps to now get an employer letter. My inclination is they are trying to suggest they don't want other case workers (the ECO han...

Hi all What type of additional docs are requested, and what would be a typical situation for them to be requested? A friend of mine has recently applied for a spouse visa, and has only just realised an older version of his wifes passport was used for the tb test, but then it was amended and the amen...
