Hi All, apologies but I cant seem to find some information relating to my circumstances. I am a UK national and married to my wife who is a Indian National and is here on a UK spouse residence permit (arrived in UK 2nd June 2017) We were planning to go on holiday sometime in October to Spain and I a...

My wife is here in the UK on a spouse visa (arrived in June) and I was wondering that a she is currently looking after my Grandad, can she claim carers allowance? Are there any restrictions?

Yes it did include the address of the post office where we will collect the brp from

Thanks for the replies.

My wife went to get another test but the doctor said there is no need. She has a copy of the original and i think this will be fine.

My wifes visa has been granted today (hooray!!!) but I was wondering if she needs her original TB certificate when she arrives? This is still with the UKVI and our lawayer has advised to get a new one which I don't think is right.

any thoughts are welcome.

I have had a response back from the ukvi who have told me that the case is in the final stages of processing and a decision will be made soon. Not sure what my lawyer did but she did say she called them who told her there was a delay in their systems (didnt go into detail). Im just glad they respond...

Not so much of an update but.... My wifes friend recieved their visa today so it give me hope that the home office are doing their job albeit slowly. I believe they completed the standard enquiry form and was told the passport was dispatched. They were not notified by the home office which is worryi...

I agree the home office have no consideration. However im feeling hopeful as my wifes friend in india who did their application a day before mine (mid feb) has now been told today that their passport is ready for collection on Friday. But they were only told this after their lawyer wrote a letter ex...

Looks like we are all in the same boat. Biometrics was done on 16th Feb and they had all supporting documents on 23rd Feb. Its as though there is a widespread delay on all applications and part of this I assume is down to the change in process of sending documents to Sheffield?? So frustrating but I...

no, still haven't heard anything back. I've escalated it as its been 12 weeks today, I know it might sound abit eager but they should at least contact me if the application is going to take longer than their normal timescale as per their original email. considering how much we pay its shocking custo...

yes you have 2 weeks to send all supporting documentation. id send it next day special delivery for peace of mind.

Hi guys I just wanted to ask another question, I've not received any of my documents back, is this normal? As most of the other posts I've read they've all received they're documents back within a week or two. Mines been 6 weeks and nothing? Hi, My application has been near enough 12 weeks and stil...

Thanks SimonS for your reply. We didn't get no option for the track service and I assume it something to do with those who have paid for priority. In hindsight, I wish i knew about this back then but didn't as I did my application through our lawyer. Ill just have to wait and see. Good luck with you...

For applications for India (not sure with other countries) the applicant attends the appointment. The sponsor will then need to submit all the paperwork to sheffield. I was in the uk after i got married and had all the documents with me upon my return. When the applicant goes for their bio this inf...

Hi im fairly new to this forum and was hoping to get some advice. I got married in india and we applied for my wife to come to the uk. Her initial appointment was on the 16th feb and my solicitor sent the supporting documents to sheffield on 22nd feb. My concern is that i have read a few posts where...
