Hi all,

My parents are applying for Schengen visa from Pakistan and they booked a group appointment.

So the question is they have to submit 2 sets of supporting documents like marriage certificate etc or 1 set should be enough?

Many thanks

Thank you for your reply.

If i apply separately for my parents is there any chance they can get a same day VFS appointment?

2 separate forms

Hi, i got 1 more question if i apply separately but as my mother is a house wife hence she got no bank account my father supports her..

Is that ok if i attach my father bank statement and a letter from my father?

Many thanks

Yes you understood right.. Are you sure 1 week stay instead of 4 days will cause issue? If amount of days allowed is 4 days, it would be reasonable to assume that staying in the country for longer than that will not be looked good upon. You can do what you wish, of course, but I'd advice against it...

Yes you understood right..

Are you sure 1 week stay instead of 4 days will cause issue? Also visa she got is for Sweden but we Will be visiting France is that ok?

Hi Everyone,

My wife got EU visit visa and her visa states single entry only and days of visit only 4 even though visa is valid for 2 weeks would there be any issue for staying for a week and multiple countries in EU?

Many thanks

1) Ideally wet signature is advised but should be okay. If HO is not happy they will ask for another referee (very less likely).

2) Yes any date before biometrics is fine.

Thank you once again for your quick advice.

Hi Again, I got two more questions would be grateful if someone help. 1- One of my Reference is nit in the UK atm so if he sign and send back the form via email will that be fine? 2- If i apply today and on reference form the date is one week after the application date before the biometrics will tha...

Contact the GP/health visitor/minister of religion etc first. If they refuse add a cover letter and explain. Arrange referees as per Adult criteria in that case. HO is not strict with referees in case of young children. Given corona, makes more understandable that parents can not be chasing GPs/hea...

Hi all, First of all thank you all the Members and moderators for helping me in the past i got my ILR yesterday :D I am doing MN1 form for my 3 years old daughter and for reference i got 1 Non British friend and for 2nd reference i got British (Professional) friend is that fine?

Good News !!!! Opened Priority / Super Priority Services for most of the VISA Categories including ILR Long Residence https://www.gov.uk/faster-decision-visa-settlement/eligible-visas-when-applying-inside-the-uk Great news for SET(M) too!! There are still a backlog of Set M and set LR applications ...

Note: Clocks change on Sunday 28 March. UK will follow BST. However UKVCAS/UKVI follows GMT (at least in my experience). For example if someone will apply on 00:01 BST 30th March, the payment reference will show 23:01 GMT 29th March. Date of application is important so be careful with that. Apply 0...

You're basically unsure if you did IDV for old or current application. Send a DM to UKVCAS through Twitter to check if biometrics have been submitted for your current application OP withdrew the initial application in Oct. OP applied in November again. There was no IDV app in November 2020. OP shou...

I applied for SET(LR) in November 2020 but still haven't yet received email to log my biometric details on IDV app. Does anyone have a similar issue? I'm worried that my application has been put in a limbo and there may be some kind confusion? Because I applied in Sept 2020 for SET(LR) and due to w...

You have to book an appointment with sopra steria, you cannot use Idv app after September 2020. Log into your UKVI account at the end you will see book an appointment option this will direct your to make an account onto Sopra Steria where you have to book an appointment. Usually you have 60 days fro...

Thank you, best of luck.

Many thanks for your reply.If I failed for apply long residency visa,can I still apply for another visa type?such as sponsor visa

As Zimba explained you should be fine, if UKVI refused your ilr for any other reason then yes you will be able to apply visa on any other category.

Hi everyone,

Currently my wife is on tier 4 student visa with expiry date of 13th march and she will be applying for FLR (M) before the expiry.

My question is as her course was finished in November last year is she allowed do take full time employment while waiting for FLR (M) outcome?
Thanks
