[*] Will it be necessary to post the passport to UKVI? According to the most up-to date information here , yes. This is because there are now three different ways to apply: a) App b) Post c) Identity document scanning location The only way to use either the a) App or the c) Identity scanning locati...
A few questions about the EUSS application process for the family members of an EU citizen without a biometric card, applying for the 'pre-settled' status: Will it be necessary to post the passport to UKVI? Perhaps it is possible to simply scan it and provide a copy when giving the biometrics? If a ...
Normally on the option of going for biometric there will be no need to post your passport. Passport verification will be done on your appointment date. but we thick the box " sending by post" how can we change that now? As I have understand, we need to send the passport if we don’t have any BRP. Th...
I have two questions concerning the non-EEA family members of EEA citizens (permanently settled): I read that the application for RC (pre-settled) under EUSS is online+post and biometric enrollment. Will it be necessary to post the passport or they will just scan it during the biometric enrollment? ...
Thanks, it helps! Can you point me to that topic summarizing the pros and cons? I understand that the EEA2/EEA(FM) route is based on the EU regulations and its residence card is recognized by other EU states. However, this route will be closed after Brexit and it is not clear yet whether the UK-issu...
I am an EU citizen with EUSS settled status in the UK. My non-EEA wife is outside the UK, applying for the EU/EEA family permit (FP): https://www.gov.uk/family-permit/eu-settlement-scheme-family-permit As I understand, the FP is more of an entry clearance to join me in the UK (after our marriage) wh...
Yes, that is what I meant. I provided a letter of support for UKVI, paid her student fees and accomodation. Sorry for the confusion. I used this term because in the UKVI guidelines it was called "financial sponsor" or something like that. We used Short Term Study (STS) route rather than Tier 4. Got...
If what you mean is that you paid for her visa fees, or provided a letter of support regarding an aspect of her life here, such as accommodation or living expenses, then avoid describing this as "sponsoring", as that is misleading as to what exactly what type of visa she has. Yes, that is what I me...
Hello, Situation: I am an EU citizen who is a permanent resident in the UK. I have the DCPR as well as the settled status under the new EU Settlement Scheme (due to Brexit, it seems that the two routes are legally separate but with almost the same effect). My girlfriend is a non-EU/EEA citizen. She ...
This is a student visitor visa, so all requirements for general visitor visa apply. Answers to your questions are here https://www.gov.uk/study-visit-visa I am very much familiar with this information and the public HO documents, but they don't exactly answer my original questions. For example, the...
Hi, My girlfriend, who is a non-EU/EEA citizen, would like to apply for the Short-Term Student visa (11 months English language route). The studies would take more than 6 months (hence the 11 month visa). I would provide full sponsorship of the studies. She currently has a valid Standard visitor vis...
Hello, Situation: I am an EU citizen. My girlfriend is a non-EU/EEA citizen from a European country. We would like to move in together. Unfortunately, my girlfriend has very little money. Fortunately, I have enough to accommodate and sponsor her in creative ways. At this point, we are not yet ready ...
I recently got all the paperwork necessary to apply for BC. I have DCPR (with PR acquired in 2015) and passed Life in the UK test (the knowledge of English is covered by the UK university degree), so everything is ready to go.. Unfortunately, my home country does not permit dual-citizenship and I ce...
I collected my DCPR today. Yay!!! Thanks to everybody in this forum for the help and support! Application posted: 19/05/2016 Post Office attempted delivery: 30/11/2016 Total: 195 days Just a quick question. I applied for the Permanent Residence card rather than certificate. I thought it would be a p...
Any applicants from May still waiting? It has been over 6 months now and I still have not received the decision :( My application is more complex self-employment case (I also used the older EEA3 form).. I guess that is why it takes so long. It is very frustrating :cry: Is it worth calling them? I re...
I think there are quite a few of us who wait for the documents to be returned. I do not think there is much we can do about it, unless you have enough free time, money and nerves to fight UKVI. Some ideas: 1. Perhaps write a complaint to UKVI: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and...
I requested my documents in mid-June, but they did not arrive in 10 days. Soon after I received the confirmation email with my case ID, so I decided to request again, but this time using the case ID. So, I have two ROD numbers now and their difference suggests that there were ~50k requests in almost...
I have not received any confirmation either. Just requested my documents to be sent back. I am expecting the whole process to take 3 months at the very least, though.
Not sure whether I should open a separate thread, but perhaps my question fits here. I have recently submitted my PR application to the Home Office. I am aware of this form for requesting the documents to be sent back: https://www.gov.uk/visa-documents-returned It is not urgent for me right now, alt...
Any case you could direct me to any information of what exactly the MET figures are for the previous years? MET is linked to Primary Earnings Threshold. See HMRC page here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rates-and-allowances-national-insurance-contributions/rates-and-allowances-national...
Here's the catch: I have not been carefree during my student years: I have found my first job while studying in January 2011 (3 months after I have entered the UK), and since then I have fully supported myself both during the studies and the holidays at the Uni. By this I mean that I have been earn...
