Re: FLR(M) - Queries

Sorry, another couple of quick questions...

Is it necessary to take original copies of our scanned & uploaded documents to the biometrics appt?

Regarding service-standard decision times, do we count days from the application date or the biometrics appt date?

Re: FLR(M) - Queries

Thanks vm for the quick reply, Char.
She has various other visas & stamps in her passport so we'll get on with uploading those too.

Assuming a successful application, is she required to return her current BRP eventually... or just bin it?

Under Further actions you must complete : Attend an appointment to provide your documents and biometrics by 15 June 2022 . Is this usual? Obviously this is well beyond my wife's current visa expiry date. I assumed documents / biometrics would need to be submitted before the visa expires? That date ...

Re: Kindly help.....Spouse visa financial requirement !

If I were you, I would seek the advice of an immigration expert immediately. As seagul says, there will be no discretion shown by UKVI. If you do not demonstrate the full six-month period as required, your application will be refused. An immigration expert might tell you that it would be better for ...

We afraid there might be some error in our VAF4A form submitted.
If you haven't paid the IHS and Application Fee yet, you haven't yet submitted your application.

Don't worry... the best thing for you to do is to delete that particular application and then start again.

Re: extra payment on IHS fees - urgent help

IHS is £400 a year, so in theory should be £1100 for a 33-month visa . But, as well as charging in USD rather than GBP, UKVI round it up to the nearest six-month period. It is £1200 for a 33 month visa, not £1100. Indeed. Hence, my use of the words 'in theory'. The actual charge debited by my UK ba...
