Hi, Thanks San!! I have actually applied for her driving licence in the meantime and i did it online and received DVLA's letter today, to send proof of ID and a photo. But what I wanted to ask you was, do I need to send a pre-stamped envelope to have the BRP card sent back to me? Or do they send it ...

Thanks for your help...

Does this mean I have to wait 180 days till she can apply for her provisional license?

That’s frustrating...

Hi, My wife entered UK last week on her spouse visa. Can I apply for her provisional driving license? Because on the form it states something about the invidual being a resident in UK for 180 days? But with her having the 2.5 years spouse visa, am I still good to apply this for her now even though s...

Long absences will affect her ability to apply for citizenship as there are limitations on how many days absence you can have.

Thanks. This is what I need to know... the 'limitations on how many days absence she can have' - what is that number of days and how do I find out?

Thank you.

Thanks guys. Maybe he did confuse it with British Citizenship. So within the 2.5 year spouse visa my wife has currently got.. can she actually spend most of that out of UK & it won’t make a difference when I extend that at the end of the first term and eventually apply for British Citizenship after ...

Hi, Now that my wife has been granted her spouse visa... can anyone please let me know where I can find out how much time she is allowed to spend out of UK within a year (or within her first 2.5 years whilst in UK). I'm only asking, because if i want to go on holidays with her, how much entitlement ...

My wife got a phone call yesterday to ask her to pick up the passport from Lahore today. She went this morning and got her passport and visa issued Alhumdulillah. I pray that you and e...

Hi Seagul, I attached the following: * My Job letter from employer * 6 months payslips * 6 months bank statements * P60 * House inspection (to say there is enough room in the house for my wife) * Council bill * Utility bill * Copy of my passport * My wifes IELTS certificate * My wifes TB * Her passp...

You were right...

She picked up her passport today with visa issued. I hope everyone else waiting receive a rapid response... it's a horrible experience playing the waiting game.

hope all is well with you.

Take care.

@sevendust12 @nabeela @nkhan18 I received my docs yesterday... it was all there !! They also inserted an automated printout letter stating that it is absolutely normal to receive the docs back before the decision is made on the via application etc. So I emailed homeoffice yesterday to ask them the ...

Yeah.. because a few people who had their biometric done on a similar day to us, have had their visa’s so thinking why haven’t I heard anything? How many working days has it been for you & was yours priority too?

I received an email from home office last week asking me to send them a prepaid envelope to have my docs sent back to me (I did provide them with that but just resent it again to avoid any issues) and I sent them the prepaid envelope yesterday and checked at home and it has been delivered (hopefully...

I hope so... I was hoping I’d hear something today... but nothing!

Hopefully this week...

Thanks!

So I called them today like an hour ago and after giving them my GWF number he said it’s still awaiting decision...! So he said he’s escalated the case for me and I should hear in the next 15 working days... did they say the same to you too? He counted my days since biometric and he thinks it’s been...

Thanks...

My wife is in Pakistan and on that website... Pakistan isn’t even there for an option to select! Yours was Turkey right?! So I’m guessing Turkey was there as an option!

I hope they’ve given her the visa ... it’s just waiting for the confirmation...

Thanks for your help

Hey congrats!!! Great news!! I hope i hear very soon too now. They emailed me yesterday actually, to say to provide them with a prepaid envelope to send the documents back... (i did... but will re-send it) I haven't called yet, if I don't receive any email tomorrow, I'll call them...! What's "TSL" ?...

Hi San111, I’ve been following your messages and it’s good to hear you’ll hear soon now. I’m in a familiar situation to you, my 30 working days are up tomorrow but I haven’t chased up once or made any calls!! I’ve only ever received the automated email where they said they have received my online ap...

Ah okay thanks.

So today’s the 19th... I take it you haven’t heard anything then?

Hey, This is what confuses me, how did you escalate your case before it's even been '30 working days' because in the automated email they mentioned the following: "We regret that we are unable to respond to enquiries asking about the status of any application" - So we can escalate before 30 working ...
