Salam Brother,

Put in the entire number with GWF letters in it. If it comes with updates not found then I suggest you should call them. My brother had to do the same as well. He applied on the 20th April and In the first couple of emails they said they couldn't find any updates. Once my brother called them up the lady over the phone confirmed that it has gone through the initial pre-assessment stage and waiting in a queue. However, my brother emailed again yesterday to which he got a reply saying "the application still needs to be assessed by an ECO". My advise will be to call them up as they will give you the true status, although it is costly to call them

I pray that your wait ends soon and that all goes well for you. I was in the process of filling out the online application form and require your guidance on the following points please

PASSPORT TRAVEL AND INFORMATION
How long do you intend to stay in the UK? Settlement

This would be 2.5 years as your first visa will be for 33 months after which you will apply for FLR

What is the main address and contact details of where you will be staying whilst in the UK? I will be moving to a different accommodation so will give that address but Primary Contact number? Will it be my mobile number?

The primary contact number if it's asking for UK will be sponsors as you're not in the uk at the moment

FAMILY DETAILS
I understand they have asked for Sponsor’s details? However, little confused whether I need to fill in Applicant’s Father/Mother details or Sponsor’s?

Under section partner details it asks for applicants parents details and not the sponsors

EMPLOYMENT
What is your current working Status? I have selected ‘Supported by Spouse’ – Do I need to attach Remittance advice showing I have been supporting my wife?

Yes attach Remittance slips showing how you have been supported

Thank you for help brother

OK SO I AMEND AS 2.5 YEARS AND NOT SETTLEMENT
What is the main address and contact details of where you will be staying whilst in the UK? I will be moving to a different accommodation so will give that address but Primary Contact number? Will it be my mobile number?

The primary contact number if it's asking for UK will be sponsors as you're not in the uk at the moment
NO, I AM THE SPONSOR AND I’M IN THE UK SO I IT’S MY NUMBER
FAMILY DETAILS
I understand they have asked for Sponsor’s details? However, little confused whether I need to fill in Applicant’s Father/Mother details or Sponsor’s?

Under section partner details it asks for applicants parents details and not the sponsors
OK, BUT ON THE SAME SECTION BEFORE THE PARENTS DETAILS THEY ASK FOR SPOUSE/PARTNER DETAILS – ARE THEY ASKING FOR APPLICANTS DETAILS? (MY WIFE) OR MY DETAILS (SPONSOR)
EMPLOYMENT
What is your current working Status? I have selected ‘Supported by Spouse’ – Do I need to attach Remittance advice showing I have been supporting my wife?

Yes attach Remittance slips showing how you have been supported
I AM THE SPONSOR, MY WIFE IS AN APPLICANT – YES SURE I WILL DO THAT

Thank you for help brother
