Thank you, this makes sense!! Wish I hadn’t spent hours getting everything together for relationship evidence though

Hi all, I have a quick question if anyone can help. I’m applying for the 10 year long residence route ILR. Just for background, I was on tier 4 four times and then switched to spouse visa (which I’m on currently). Filled out the SET LR form online. However, I’ve noticed the documents/evidence sectio...

What did the notice say? It wasn’t immediate curtailment of leave. My leave was due to expire on 24th August 2015 and they curtailed it to 2nd Augusta 2015. The letter was served on 29th May 2015 and said: Your leave has been curtailed under paragraph 323A(b)(i) of the Immigration Rules. Although y...

Thank you, Vinny! That is exactly what I thought as well.

Moreover, it seems HO themselves advise that:a curtailment would not be a detriment to the LR if the migrant has left the UK in time and returned within the permitted absence period

Good morning all, Wondering if I can get some help with a query I have. I’ve been in the UK since January 2013. From 2013 - 2020, I was on a various Tier 4 visas for my masters and PHD. Got married in 2020 and switched to spouse visa in 2020. No one of my tier 4 visas were for short term study etc -...

Hi, I am applying for an extension to my PhD course and my university has granted me a CAS stating new course dates from Feb 20 to July 20. My current visa expires end of this month. I have been advised that I need to show funds for 6 months based on the course dates (as above) on my CAS. However, I...

Just to clarify - the two masters were taught degrees.

Hi, I was wondering if someone can clarify whether DES is included in the 8 year cap as I have found conflicting information online. My timeline is: 2013-2014 1st Masters 2014-20115 2nd Masters 2015-2020 PhD In particular, if I finish my PhD and then apply for DES but my DES application takes me ove...

I’m on the 10 year route, if that makes a difference.

Hi, if someone could help with this, I’d be very grateful. I am in the process of getting my documents together for my ILR application. My immigration history is pretty straight forward but in 2015, I had a student visa which was curtailed because my college got struck off. I left the UK before the ...

Update: Got a text to collect passport today.

Hii,

Has anyone applied for a schengen visa for Italy (through VFS in London)?

How long did it take for you to get your passport back?

Thanks

Hi all, I am a Tier 4 student from Pakistan and I've recently applied for a schengen visa at the German Embassy in London. It's been 21 working days and I have still had no response. The tracking info says its being processed at the Germany Embassy. My flight is in 8 days so I am starting to get a b...

That actually sounds like a very good idea.

I usually spoke to him over the phone but to be honest, how many times would you ask someone to show a copy of their visa to you if they said they had it, especially if its one of your friends? I think you're right, I was helpful and gave them (the officers) all the information they asked for and ev...

No, I am here legally with a tier 4 visa which expires in 2021. I just got really worried as I have never been in this situation and don't want to get in trouble for harbouring or assisting an illegal immigrant because some imbecile decided to overstay his visa.

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice..sorry if I am posting in wrong section.. I am an international student here in the UK. Yesterday, I was at home when two immigration enforcement officers showed up with an arrest warrant for my friend who had asked me to keep some of his stuff at my place w...
