Re: Incorrect referee address on submitted application. Should I upload a cover letter explaining?

Thank you for the reply.
I will upload a cover letter explaining it, however the referee form doesn't ask for the referee's address.
This is the form I'll be submitting - https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... on_MN1.pdf

Thanks

Incorrect referee address on submitted application. Should I upload a cover letter explaining?

I have already submitted my naturalisation application but haven't had the BRP appointment yet. I can still upload documents on the online portal. One of the referees gave me the incorrect address, it was clearly a typo. Instead of No 118, I have put 18 on the application form. Since it is submitted...

Currently on spouse visa and I'm applying to extend it after the initial 2.5 year period. I have a degree that was done at a Sri lankan private institution but the awarding body for this was Staffordshire University.

Re: Visit visa application for mother in law refused

Hi Thanks for your reply. What I meant was that my mother in law won't be spending any of her own money. It won't allow me to put zero in that field so I'm wondering if I should just put £1 and explain that sponsors (my wife and I) will be paying for everything. Since we already applied for 6 month ...

One of the questions on the application form is "How much money are you personally planning to spend on your visit to the UK?" I don't expect my mother in law to spend any of her own money. What should I put in this field? It won't take a value of zero? For the sake of some background When I applied...

Re: Visit visa application for mother in law refused

The first time, we applied for a 6 month visa although it was likely that my mother in law would have only stayed for about 4 months. I put 6 months just in case. Given that the first application was refused. If I was to now apply asking for only 4 months is that likely to harm the application. One ...

I did the same thing. I put I think $10. I had a cover letter explaining my mother's purpose of visit and that she has no income because she is a housewife.
