Hi All, Was wondering if someone can advice me please... My wife's FLR(M) is coming up for renewal soon.

Hi, Was wondering if anyone has seen this. I am trying to book a premium in person appointment for a FLR (M) application. As part of it it asks you to pay the Immigration health surcharge which I paid last night but didnt book an appointment that time. I received my Immigration health surcharge refe...

You need to provide your UTR number in Section 3 ques 5 of the AN form. No need to provide any further document for your UTR.

Morning,

Can someone advise please.

Thanks,

Hi Greenie,

Thanks - I will be applying my ILR on the basis of completing my 5 years working in UK. I came in as HSMP (post Dec 2006) and then extended to Tier 1 (G) but had to go for a second extension as I arrived late in UK.

Hello Everyone, I am on a Tier 1 (G) visa getting married in March next year. I will be eligible for my ILR in February. My fiance is on a PSW which is expiring by the end of April. I have couple of queries if anyone can take some time to answer please:- a> Can my fiance apply for a dependant visa f...

Is it not a max of 90 days in a year and max of 225 days in 5 years?

[quote="srikp"]Can anyone suggest if we need two copies of all the proofs - one for father and one for mother when both are applying for visa at the same time?[/quote]

If its a combined application, you need to provide only one set of docs.

Hi Hope2007, I submitted the same docs as Amit above from my parents side - Latest bank statements of their accounts, property papers, any other financial doc showing funds. The amount of time it takes depends on whether they are applying for the first time or if they have already had a UK visa(expi...

You can travel anytime till your visa is valid.

For parents you need to fill VAF1B as they will be applying as a Family visitor. The docs which I submitted were:-

Invite Letter
Tenancy Agreement
Bank Staments (last 6 months)
Pay Slips (last 6 months)

You will be fine in that case, don't worry. As far as it is coming as gross salary in your pay slip and into your bank account, you can use them to claim as your earnings.

@Sapphire -- You mentioned that 2.5K "appear below your basic salary" in your pay slip. Is that included in the gross figure on your salary slip? Also, how do you recieve them? In your bank account along with your salary or through some other means?

Jafar,

Don't wait for covering letter until n unless you really have something you would like to mention which you anyway can explain to them as you are going in person. Believe me the case workers don't even look at it, I am telling you this from the experience of few of my friends.

Just provide the bank name and the bank's phone number (which should be printed on your bank statement).

I was just about to say the same

Just tick "No" and move to question D11 (assuming you are still under your visa expiry date)
I can't understand why they make questions so confusing ...

If you have already satisfied the English Language requirement in your previous HSMP application, you don't need to provide any additional proofs.

Thanks Tomcat. So it looks like its only the Croydon HO takes a lot of time (almost a whole day) while rest of the HOs gives you visa in just 2-3 hours (provided all the docs are in proper place). I know guys who applied from Birmingham and Glasgow HOs (and now Sheffield) and got their visa stamped ...
