Anyone have any solutions to this? She is currently stuck abroad and not being allowed to travel home due to not having a physical visa/BRP.

Hello everyone. My wife has pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, going on just around 2 years now. However, she was never issued a BRP/BRC, I was wondering if this is normal? It's not a major issue but has caused issues everytime we are travelling and trying to prove that she has a rig...

@kamoe what method did you use to contact the resolution centre?

Like many here, still waiting for an update on our EUSS after non-EU wife coming on a family permit. Haven't been asked for any additional information, no changes to circumstances from when we got the family permit, and its been 6 weeks since the COA.

Appreciate the assistance, it has been very enlightening and the information regarding the 31DEC20 deadline has taken alot of the stress away.

I think I'll probably just leave it there for now and play the waiting game. I am definitely at least 3cm of a hairline shorter thanks to UKVI

Many thanks for the responses. I checked the link but nothing came up under her passport. It just says error, we cannot show your details. Yes, that's correct, the method about sending the passport back and forth. I understand the potential issues though that you pointed out, looks like thats a non-...

Ohhh I see. I am both a British and Irish passport holder, born in Northern Ireland with my parents having been born there as well.

Hi Everyone Second time coming back here after a nightmarish experience getting a visitor visa for my wife. Now the pain starts again, this time applying for the EU family permit. Due to the lack of embassy in the country we are in, all applications have to be done in 3rd country (UAE - Dubai in thi...

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update on this, I picked up my wife's passport in Dubai and it had the 2-year visa in it! Thanks for everyone's advice, and happy to say after 7 months we finally got it!

Thank you all for your advice and input, it has been much appreciated, as the worst thing about the whole drama has been the lack of information or discussion. This morning, just as I was officially submitting a withdrawal request to the embassy, the following email came "I am writing to inform you ...

Does anyone know what "mandatory checks" the UKVI office have to complete? It's now been six months since our visitor visa application and I had to involve my MP just to get a reply from the UKVI. Both her employer and subcontractor were called to confirm employment within about 4-5 weeks of the app...

Is there anyone that can possibly help with this?? It's now 23 weeks and UKVI still just copying and pasting answers "Checks have not been completed", and immigration lawyers had advised that there's not really much they can do apart from contact the enquiry centre. Have we been duped out of our mon...

Hello Everyone I have received the following email for a visit visa application. Any idea/experiences if someone could please share if they had previously received something similar. I applied for my parents visa on 18th July and received this email today (just after 2 weeks from the date of applic...

Anyone else have any more thoughts on this, its been just over 21 weeks now and still no correspondence

Yes, we were advised to visit VFS again and apply for the retro priority service. Advised directly by the visa authority (Embassy at Abu Dhabi) to do so. The above and any other payments only add insult to injury, the main point of the post is why are they taking so long to make a decision. There mu...

@seagul we haven't booked any flights, nor would we unless we had the visa. I'm not sure what you're referring to?

Anyone got any more thoughts on this? It's now been 19 weeks since application and biometrics were taken, but still absolutely zilch from the embassy. Same old excuses, I even sent them an e-mail offering up about a dozen additional supporting documents, such as rental agreements for our business pr...

@frontiermole Thanks for your reply. Yes can imagine that there are many abuses of the visitor visa for longer stays. Initially we were going to apply for a spouse visa for that same reason, but there were a few issues that discouraged us - My wife has a pretty prestige scholarship to the US startin...

That's interesting to hear, I had never even considered it might be an issue when applying, but can see why now. Our window for travelling has now passed anyway and the next one will be mid-October. Herein lies the issue. We want to travel to the UK for 4 weeks, in October. Now, because of the natur...

Any other similar experiences?

No this is the first visa applied for, for the UK.

Edit: Due to the nature of applying for the UK visa and our expected periods of travelling to the UK, a 6 month visitor visa isn't feasible.

Good Day Everyone, Was wondering if anyone has been in the same situation as myself, as I'm tearing my hair out right now. My fiancee, now wife, applied for a 2-year visitor visa, submitted her biometrics 10MAR19. It's now 16JUN19, 14 weeks and 65 working days later, and still there has been no deci...
