Thanks for the reply AmazonianX. From when can I apply for ILR? is it 5years from the date on the leave to enter BRP or 5years from when the applicant first arrived to the UK? Leave to enter BRP issued: 20/6/2019 First arrived in UK: 30/6/2019 And the application can be submitted 28days before the 5...
Thank you zimba for your reply. From what I understand, the applicant can't travel whilst awaiting a decision otherwise the application is withdrawn, but can the applicants spouse travel if required? I read that by autumn, evisas will be issued rather than BRP, does that still mean no travel for app...
Hi, will be applying for ILR M for my wife in few months time and had few questions. 1. Am I correct the new financial requirements won't apply to our application? 2. For financial requirements we will use our savings, can this be in a current account which is being used daily? I guess they take the...
You're stretching the rules to places most people have never been to before. Just so that we're on the same page, you renewed FLR(M) for your spouse. Left the UK immediately to reside in another country. Would probably come back a few months to expiry and apply for ILR, to immediately exit the coun...
Thanks for the reply. If we were to come back and live in the UK before her FLR expires, could we still apply for ILR as normal? As I believe there's no time limit on how many days you can live outside the UK whilst on spouse visa but of course as you mentioned wont be eligible to apply for citizens...
My wife is currently on a spouse visa, we recently did the FLR visa extension after which we moved to the USA on a E2 (nonimmigrant) visa. We are planning on staying in the USA for few years. My question is, when her FLR spouse visa is near the expiry is there any options available to apply for ILR ...

Once the documents are scanned at the VFS centre are we expected to receive an email to say the application has been received and is under consideration?
You are only able to self-upload documents if you are using the new AccessUK website. If using Visa4uk then you will have to scan at one of the centres in UK. Thank you very much for clarification. can we apply settlement spouse initial entry visa through AccessUK? Thanks in advance Not possible to...
As you complete the online application, it will guide you through to paying the visa fee and application fee. From memory, after the above point you are directed to the Sopra Steria site, to log in and upload documents. Note you don’t have to upload all documents at once, you can add gradually on d...
I went on Friday at around 3pm where they tried to turn me away because they were too busy! However I managed to get an appointment and I handed over my documents and the man said he would scan them and send me an email once done so left I’m now thinking I should have waited there?! Did anyone else...
Thanks for the feedback. By any chance do you know if the barcodes seperator is the same as this on VFS website, if so im thinking of printing it off so im prepared before I go.
Hi, so like some people on here I sent my supporting documents to Sheffield for a spouse visa application from Pakistan and had them returned as the documents have to be scanned at a VF centre. Just want to ask, has anyone any experience of using the VF centres? the website doesnt show the full open...
Hi, I will be looking to submit my supporting documents for my wifes spouse visa application. I was wondering for the photos I attach to the application of the applicant, do they need certifying or need a signature on the back or anything?

I am currently renting a 2bed flat which was on a 6month contract from January and I will be providing the tenancy agreement to sponsor my wife on spouse visa. As my contract mentions only maximum 1 person can live in the flat would I need a letter from the landlord to say he agrees for my wife to l...
Hello Dear, it's really sad to hear about your family visit visa refusal. I applied for my mother 18 days ago. By the Grace of God, it was approved and received yesterday. She applied for 5 year multiple family visit. My mother is a full time house wife. We submitted following documents to the Gerr...
I also included a couple of utility bills and a recent mortgage statement. Not sure what role they played, but I have a ready pack of documents that I scan and email over. Ultimately the visa is issued if the ECO is convinced that the applicant is a GENUINE visitor.[/quote] Hi wpilr_nov12, Would it ...
