Thank you

Hi All,

My parents are applying for a 2 year visitor visa from Pakistan. Do they need to provide a tuberculosis test as part of the application?

They are planning on staying a month as stated on their application but the visa request is for a 2 year visa so I’m a bit confused.

Thanks

Hi All, Will be applying for my wife’s ILR through the Set (O), 5 years dependent partner route. I am unable to confirm whether this route is eligible for a priority or super priority service. Can anyone confirm? When I applied for my ILR after 5 years on Tier 2, I was allowed to use the super p ...

My Situation: I was on a Tier 2 General Visa from 2014 - 2019 (one from 2014-2017 and the second one from 2017 - 2020). After 5 years on a Tier 2 visa, I ...

Hi Everyone, My wife needs to apply for a Hungarian tourist Schengen visa. We have been trying to book an appointment on the VFS website (London consulate) for Hungary but it keeps saying no appointment slots available. When we call VFS and select Hungary from the list, the call disconnects. Does ...

That’s great, thanks

Hi all My wife and I are not married in the UK. We got married in our home country in 2018 whilst I was on a Tier 2 visa and we used the marriage certificate from my home country to get her a dependent visa. Since then, I obtained my ILR in 2019 (5 years tier 2) and British citizenship in 2020 ...

4 weeks for me now and the best the customer services team can do is sending emails asking for an update, Surely the person who was meant to send them back knows if they did so or not and if they haven't they should be tasked with finding them. I called the helpline on Friday they put me through to ...

As a related question, I note several of you have referred to requesting the return of supporting documents by secure delivery. Is there an alternative, i.e. allow return by standard delivery? If so, might that get the documents returned more quickly, because the PO wouldn't have to wait for the ...

Happy travels.

Thanks

Just a quick update, I did live chat with the passport service and the lady told me the documents have been picked up by TNT (they were the ones who brought me the passport as well) and will be delivered this Monday. So might be worth checking on the TNT website HERE using your PEX number and your ...

e should post this on passport processing timeline as well so we know how many of us are actually waiting for supporting documents?

I might be wrong on this but I don’t think that would be allowed as it’s a timeline only thread.

I really don't know what else I can do. Today marks 3 weeks since my British passport arrived and not a word from HMPO. Emailing my MP is pointless - he doesn't reply to things. I am seriously considering camping outside of their office and asking employees going in and out for help directly but I ...

I got my UK passport on 30.11 and since then I haven't received my foreign passport and the certificate of naturalization. I did the webchat with someone last Friday and they said my documents haven't been picked up yet by the courier and I should wait for about 2 weeks. So I'm just waiting for the ...

No I haven’t unfortunately. I have contacted them on Twitter, they said they are looking into it. So I’ll wait a couple more days and contact them again. The trouble is the customer service people can't really do anything other than contact the relevant office on your behalf via email. Mine has bee ...

I'm still waiting for mine to be returned, Monday will mark 3 weeks from when my application was approved and my documents should have been despatched. Got fobbed off multiple times on the phone and in an email by HMPO advisors. I've been told an email has been sent last Monday to HMPO Newport to ...

You can not travel to Pakistan visa free unless you have NICOP not NIC on a BP :!: Exactly, I would need eVisa. Should I apply for it or is it worth waiting for the docs to be returned? I don’t even know if it will get processed in time but the earlier I apply, the better chance I have. I am h ...

Hi all I got my first passport after naturalisation on Tuesday (1 Dec), my supporting docs haven’t been returned yet. I paid an extra £5 for special delivery during the passport application, but I still haven’t received it. Does anyone know how long it takes? I called HMPO and they said they will not ...

That’s very informative, thank you both.

Hi all Ive just received my first British passport after naturalisation. My wife (non British non Eu national) and I will be travelling out of the country in two weeks time. When we return to the UK, can she go through immigration with me through UK/EU passport holders lane (she is on a dependent ...
