Thanks Vinny! I think you are right! I will just explain the whole thing in the extra details section.
Thanks again that helps!

Hello all, Please help me with a doubt I have. My parents visited me in Apr 2021. They entered just 3 days before India went into red list! :) Towards the end of their visa, due to India still being in red list and no proper flights, we applied for visa extension under assurance. But before the resu...

Hello all, I have a query regarding my parents visitor visa and below are some details. They travelled to the UK on visitor visa on 17th April. Their visa expires on 1st July. We had their tickets booked on 28th June for the return -> Manchester to London; London to Bombay. Now with the situation in...

Thanks for the super quick response CULLINAN.
I wish there was an option to upgrade but alas
Thanks again!

Hello members, I applied for ILR on 22nd August 2019. I haven't had any confirmation email yet (I read it takes around 8 weeks to start getting monthly updates.) I wanted to ask if there is a facility to upgrade to Premium service now? I couldn't find anything for upgrade after the process moved onl...

LOL! Thanks Zimba!

Cool! Thanks for the short and simple answer!
Guess it makes sense as It never actually happened!
Do you think I should mention it in cover letter though? I was kept waiting at the airport once because of this!

Hello moderators :) , I am filling out SET O form online for my ILR application on the basis of Tier 2 Dependent Visa 5 year route. I came across the question "Have you ever been: refused a visa for the UK deported from the UK removed from the UK required to leave the UK refused entry at the UK bord...

Hi dear, did you submit the old SOC or got a new letter from UKNARIK?
I am in the same situation and have a 4 year old SOC and was wondering if I can use this to avoid paying £125!!

You can work but you will have difficulty in securing another job if you don't have evidence of your new visa. Why did you not apply in person for a same day decision if you were looking to change employers? Hi, Thanks for the quick response! Frankly speaking I applied by post to save money. :| It ...

Hello Experts, I need your advice on a doubt I just had. My husband has ILR (5 year route) and I have applied to extend my Tier 2 Dependent Visa (I came to UK in 2013 :( I am 1.5 years short to apply for ILR ). Anyhow, My visa expired on 14th August 2017 & I made the application on 10th of July 2017...

Hi, could you pls mention if you applied the 2nd time visa on your own or was it though a lawyer? Could you suggest the name if you got the help from a law firm? Thanks, Hi Geetika, As our Moderator rightfully mentioned above, we aren't suppose to discuss solicitors here. I applied on my own didn't...

Hi Members, Just wanted to update in regards to my parents application. They applied on 6th October 2016. As you guys suggested there was nothing we could do regarding 1. staying longer than stated in application and 2. Not mentioning me in previous application, we decided to state everything openl...

Hi iworker, That sounds really comforting! I called the UKVI twice. Once the lady said I have to withdraw my application and I will loose the application fees and IHS will be refunded in 90 days! Second time the guy told me that it doesn't matter as my husband now holds ILR and I should just mention...

Hello members, I need help understanding something. I recently made an application for Tier 2 dependent visa extension (Husband on ILR) I think I made a mistake in the application when I choose "Tier 2 upto 3 years (Shortage of occupation)" :( I thought it refers to the current situation but my husb...

Hi dear,

Thanks so much for clearing the doubts!
This is really helpful.

Just one more doubt, can I show bank statements of my account instead of my husband?

Anuja Khatal

Hello experts, I need your advice once again! I came to UK in August 2013 on Tier 2 Dependent Visa which is now up for renewal. My husband got ILR last year through 5 year route. I understand that I need not apply for ILR dependent and I can apply for Pbs dependent extension as my husband got ILR un...

Thanks Casa!

Thanks all for your replies.
Wish I could go back in time and change the application bit.
Should we write in application that (I know there is no justification to this) we didn't mention by mistake. What else can we say?!

Hi Casa, Thanks for the quick response! Well, last time a guy from my sisters office helped with the application and he said there is no need to mention it. Definitely was a huge mistake!There is no option but to take a chance now. And you are right, there is no justification when you reside instead...

Hi Experts! :D Once again I need your awesome advises! I want to apply for my mum dads visitor visa from India. They were here n the UK last year (Invited by my sister who was here on a Tier 5 visa which was valid for a year). They mentioned 4 weeks in the application and stayed for 3 months! (15 Ma...

Great! Thanks so much casa!

Hi Casa, Thanks for the suggestion! I am drafting a letter now. Can you please point me where I can find the address to post it? Do you know if the address "UK Visas and Immigration, Home Office, Customer Contact Centre, Ground Floor, Vulcan House - Iron, Sheffield, S3 8NS" is the correct one? Let m...

Hi Casa & Noajthan! Thank you for the prompt replies. I know it's not been a wise decision, had we known earlier, we would have send a letter before finishing the first 4 weeks! Is it still advisable to send them a letter now stating that we didn't realise/know that we must inform the UKVI (thanks C...
