My wife will be applying for a re-issue of her Indian passport and will be taking my surname. She arrived to the UK on a spouse visa in December. We have started filling in the online application. My question is regarding the affidavit. Is the “change on name” affidavit required and if so, can it be...
Hi, I have to renew my passport soon , so I am planning on taking my husband’s surname . In preparation for this process , I contacted VFS and HCI and they have provided with a list of documents required to change name / surname after marriage. Now this is where it gets confusing- an affidavit is n...

Now that she is here we are preparing the items of correspondence which will be needed for the FLR application which will be submitted in 2022. Regarding this I have a few queries. 1. Are online b...
The reason we applied again was that we felt that the the refusal would not be overturned at review. Our application was also refused because the ECO thought my employment was not genuine. Also, we felt it would take about a year if it went to a tribunal. Obviously we considered the costs but as ou...
We received advice from a number of people. Some said in a new application the ECO would look at previous applications and some said a new application is considered as new and the ECO would not look at the refusal. We didnt change anything but we provided tons of new evidence and documents. I am not...

Well done and good for you Y123m. The HO do everything they can to make it impossible to get a visa, you must both be over the moon now. Too many people on here try to cheat the system and that is why it so hard for genuine people to get justice. Thanks Yeh, we had nothing to hide so we showed them...
As mentioned above my wife’s visa was granted with a vignette date of 25th Nov to 25th Dec.
However, my wife did not get a decision letter. Inside the VFS envelope she only got her passport. Is it normal to not get a decision letter? And is it needed to get the BRP card from the post office?
Hi everyone, This is my first post here.... My question is about declaring cash savings for Uk spousal visas. I have held more than the required amount (about 70k) in mine and my sponsor (wife’s) joint account for the last 1.5yrs and it was previously in my own name in the Uk for several years prio...
Yes, you can use multiple accounts which are in your name. As part my wife’s application i used my current and savings account. You’ll need to write a declaration for the source of your savings.

I have spoken to a few immigration solicitors and they have said that an appeal would be successful but have added it could take up to two years.
