Hi, I was wondering if someone knows an official source that shows the current countries that allow visa-free travel for UK Refugee Travel Document holders?
Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I guess I will just have to write to HO, explain the situation and see if they allow me to visit for a few days.

Thanks for your response. This is actually a very good point. I forgot the fact that my national passport expired ages ago and I currently have a Travel Document which expired at the time of my ILR application - as I had no intentions/plans of travelling, I never bothered renewing it. But this covid...

Hi, I was granted ILR more than a year ago on the Refugee Settlement route. Before I could apply for British citizenship, covid-19 arrived and closed all Life in the UK tests. The situation right now is that my father is severely ill in my home country and I am thinking whether it is a good idea to ...

Hi,

Yes i did have to meet the financial requirement of £18600, and the visa fee we paid was about £1200 i think plus the health surcharge which was about £500 i think.

Hi there,

Please read the earlier posts on this topic and you will find all the answers. There is a list of documents and also the sort of forms that need to be completed.

All the best!

Hi Omaruk,

Please post your query here and we will all be happy to help.

Kind regards

Hi! Update on the situation: My wife received her spouse visa (THANK GOD!) and arrived safely in the country. However, i note that the HO has granted her a normal spouse visa for the duration of 2.5 years instead of the Post Flight spouse of refugee visa which would be valid for 63 months. I wonder ...

I think the last payslip should not be more than 28 days old when you apply for a spouse visa.

Dear forum members, I would really appreciate if you could help with the below questions. I'm putting all the paperwork together before applying for a spouse visa for my wife. I'm a Permanent Residence holder and below is the list of documents I've prepared: - Bank statements for the account where ...

Hi, I haven't been able to find much information on this topic here or on the HO website so decided to put together all that i have found so far. The Application Forms: Now, this has been the most tricky part. I called the UKVI contact number 3 times and nobody could confirm this and kept giving me ...

Thanks, Casa. I just have one more question regarding this application. I printed Appendix 2 and completed it by hand but at the end i realised there is no place for a signature! Where would the applicant (my wife) be signing this Appendix?

Thanks Casa and CR001. So my understanding is correct then, the forms stay the same as the normal spouse visa application? VAF4A and Appendix 2? Thanks!

And thanks for replying in the middle of the night!

I completely understand, no worries.

Casa, I have gone through most of the information available on the Home Office website and it appears to me that the forms are the same. VAF4A and Appendix 2. Do you think that is correct? I believe in Appendix 2, we would have to check the option "As the Post Flight family member (spouse or civil p...

Oh. My. God. Casa, you have saved me. It appears that i have been ill-advised by an incompetent lawyer who will be hearing an earful from me first thing tomorrow morning. Now, i need to go through the differences between this process and the normal spouse visa process before i can get any sleep. The...

Hi there, I am a refugee in the Uk and have had the same status since the past 3yrs. I am now sponsoring my wife from a non-EU country and whilst filling the application form, came across a somewhat confusing question. A little help from a kind experienced person / Moderator would be much appreciate...

Many thanks for the input!

Hi, I have a bit of confusion regarding VAF4A Appendix 2 on financial requirement. 3.3 From the list below, please indicate the main method of meeting the financial requirement. Income from salaried employment in the UK - Cat A or Cat B. As we decided above that my salary falls under non-salaried, d...

Thanks, Casa. I've also asked my employer to give me a letter confirming that a mistake was made so all looks good at the moment.

Thank you, Casa. I have the same understanding which is why I'm in such a state. But reading through the forum and the guidance notes on the financial requirement, i do understand that there is a different calculation for salaried and non-salaried. My understanding for variable earnings is that the ...

Thank you for the kind reply. I am paid by the hour with a fixed hourly rate and my contract shows my hourly rate based on 40 contracted hours per week. Which is why my monthly salary fluctuates with overtime. Does that mean It is considered as non-salaried employment? Non salaried employment is whe...

Hi there, So I'm all set to apply for my wife's spouse visa and today my final payslip arrives which has to be submitted with the application and turns out the payroll department made an error and thus my salary has gone below 1550, its 1543. I work in retail and have been with the same employer sin...

Hi,

Does the house inspection report acceptable to the Home Office come only from the local council or an estate agent can issue the same?

Thanks
