Hi All, My husband just came to the country, from Nigeria, on a spouse visa. Now, he has been offered a job in the NHS but to complete his ‘checks’ he needs to provide a Police/Criminal record check before he can finally start working for the trust. How do we go about this when he’s not in Nigeria? ...

Just want to say a big thank you to everyone that has helped with my queries. My husband's visa has been granted. The decision letter was dated 18th September (53WD after biometrics) even though the call centre told me no decision had been made when I called on the 19th! Was probably for the best a...

I have send them all originals and a set of copies.

Be rest assured you will get them back.
I’m sure of it

Hello Thanks for your reply guys. I did included a return envelope which was already paid and scanned with the ref number so they must have the return envelope. Best of luck Olasim. No need to worry if you have that then they definitely (hopefully) will send it back. As long as you’ve attached copi...

Chapterixx, I would say give it another two days. My husband’s decision letter was actually dated 30/07/19 (so the decision was made 53 working days) but TLS didn’t contact my husband to pick up passport until Monday 05/08/19. We are just worried about the passport. We had the PDF email now 4 days a...

Hi everyone, Been in the background reading through each page of the forum, and i'm so happy i got to know about this insightful forum..... @Chapterixx @ FatimaHussainSami pls any updates? i had my Biometrics on the 20th of May 2019, and then i got the "Thank you for your online application which h...

Is the Email/PDF thing a new way of informing people of the status if it has been granted or refused? If so, is this for all countries (spouse application from outside the UK?) or is it specific to only certain countries? Kind regards Hi Chapterixx, Please what do you mean by "Decision 'Success' on ...

Not sure how your last post is relevant to this topic asking about an extension within the UK?? Please don't confuse or hijack the topic on issues related to applications from outside the UK. Not sure what you believe would be 'unique'. Waiting time for a visa outside the UK has nothing to do with ...

As aforementioned, it would be interesting to find out if there is a spouse extension after one year. There isn't. A Spouse visa is valid for 30 or 33 months. There is no requirement to apply for an extension after 1 year. CR001, I know that. But Casa is asking a question that I believe it’d be int...

It has frequently been seen a situation where members do ask some query about their friends/family members in same/different situation or they ask question about future to start preparing from now which is absolutely acceptable.

Hi everyone, I’m from Hong Kong and I’m currently holding Tier 5 Youth mobility visa ( which expires on 07/07/2020). I have an issue as this visa can’t be renewed. I really want to stay in the UK and work in this country, but I don’t have the right to live here as I’m holding British National Overs...

That’s a day before my husband’s. So hopefully we’d hear back from them too soon. By God’s grace it would be good news for you and I. No, I still have not received the documents back yet (I made copies of documents I wanted the originals back for aside marriage certificate ofcourse). Also it’s hard ...

That’s ok. Online submission: 10 May Biometrics done: 16 May I feel it’s anytime now. 60 working days would be up by the 9th of August (to include bank holiday) Exclude bank holiday, it would be 8th of August. The wait is nerve wrecking. Hi Karmy, I’m a woman. Thank you for your advise but the appli...

Hi Karmy, I’m a woman. Thank you for your advise but the application was already submitted in May. HSBC Bank statements do have headers on it - the same statements they’d print is the same I printed out from my online banking account. (I no longer receive paper copies of my statements). The statemen...

Hello,

That fee is correct. It covers the first 2.5years.

There is a long running topic, link below, where all members can post of their waiting times and experience.

I read something on .GOV.UK that as of today (I think or maybe tomorrow) you’d have to scan documents. No longer receiving post to Sheffield. Please do double check this yourself. Also re: stamps on statements, I’m referring to my spouse visa application for my husband. Didn’t know you’re referring ...

Hmmm, these banks are strange. How can one branch say no all of a sudden but the other stamped? I was not able to get stamps on my bank statements because HSBC said it’s against policy and they have said the same to others who have been in the same position. I went to two branches in my area and the...
