My wife: "Original" country: Zambia Type of application: Standard... no rush :) Applied for ILR: 4/2/2024 Biometrics: 17/2/2024 (paid extra cause be looking for months ahead otherwise and couldn't be bothered. Also we're in County Durham and they were taken in Leeds) Decision Email: 7/5/2024 (didn't ...

I am currently unable to upload documents to UKVACS using Chrome. I know exactly why this is - in very simple terms, they have misconfigured the upload server so that it doesn't authorise scripts running on their website to upload documents to it. Much more technical detail at https://developer ...

Oh a third bonus question - the financial documents as of the application date will of course be up to end of June. That's fine or should I submit July/August ones too? I assume not and that would confuse things, but...

Hi, The first appointment we've got to renew my wife's spousal visa is mid August, and "they" say that it takes aboutt 8 weeks. It runs out in September. I believe this is ok and won't be held against her, but please could you say it is (or it isn't, and if so what to do - I have seen there is a ...

The following are my understanding, but could have disastrous consequences if I'm wrong so let me double check: 1. Finding letters for the whole period since visa of us living together - the 'spread evenly' doesn't have to be taken too anally, does it? The longest distance between two letters would ...

I am confused about when to fill in the FLR(M) for my wife. She was given a spousal visa starting on 1 December 2018. However it seems to have been for 33 months - expiring on 1 September 2021. So am I supposed to wait 28 days before the 30 months (i.e. send it in in early May) or should I be ...

My wife is a Zambian Citizen, currently with a BRP and on the 5 year path to ILR in UK. Previously we've got 1 year Schengen visas through the free Spousal travel thing with being in the EU (I am a British citizen). Since we're not longer in the EU this no longer applies. What will be necessary ...

Visa granted :D :D :D :D I would have more smiles but the forum filters it out lol Congratulations ... glad to hear you don't need to go through all that stress again. :D Application was made 22 October and biometrics done 26 October. We received no other contact. Will let you know when passport ...

Nice! Enjoy the feeling

Thank you! Appreciate you and others taking time out to advise!

Can you ask someone else to do it? If not you can legally download a virtual machine with IE10 from Microsoft at https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/ and run it using virtualbox (both free). It's outrageous the state of that web system. During my wife's visa application ...

Just had an email from UKVI in Pretoria saying that a decision has been made, go collect it in a few days... So I think this means that visas in Southern Africa region are still processed in Pretoria. You are right not all applications are processed in sheffield. I've recently submitted an ...

No tracking number, but I can see on TLSContact that it's received by UKVI (which given it was so quickly and it happened pretty early this morning, around 8am UK time, is a sign it is going to be processed in Pretoria rather than Sheffield, right? I hope) Yes, everything was in that bundle. I did ...

Nope. Only some piece of paper which mentions the passport only (not even application form or whatever). My wife saw everything being bagged up apparently which I take as a good sign - but that doesn't necessarily mean to have been sent off. And if it does mean they've been sent off, whether they've ...

I also found https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/437582/response/1112711/attach/6/FOI%20Annex%2045712.pdf - at the time of writing it looks like about half the countries you post to Sheffield yourself, the other half you don't but this will evolve over the course of 2018/2019? The majority of the ...

Will do so on Monday. Still, them email instructions as I read them are fairly clear that the supporting documents were to be taken to the biometric appointment: The cost of your application is : R‎31,907.00 Supporting Documents – A guide to the documents required to support your visa application can ...

Well they literally took all the documents (several files full) so I hope they don't need a resend as then we're really stuffed, will take another week or two to get copies again of some things. From what I heard all they did at the centre was to change the ordering a bit to put the TB certificate ...

I can't find the answer to this online. We have finally managed to get our application for a Spousal VISA submitted, my Zambian wife attending a biometric with all the documentation in the TLSContact centre in Lusaka. I.E. we did not have to send any documentation to Sheffield, we handed it all over ...

I know I'm bumping an old thread - but this was literally all I could find online when I had this idea with my then fiancee who was a few weeks away from her visitor visa expiring. As of Monday, she is now my wife. So the answer (too late for the OP, but for anyone else searching) is that so long as ...
