Thank you.

Well she got to the VFS centre and they told her they had already posted the passports to her home address. So we should know by tomorrow!

We’ve just had an SMS saying visa applications are processed and ready to collect. Its only been two and a half weeks since the application was made. Feeling a bit sick with nerves.

Has anyone applied for settlement visa from Thailand this year? We have received the email asking us to pay the IHS fee for child rather quickly, which we are wondering if this is “normal” or not?

We applied wife and dependent : june 15th
Email asking to pay dependents IHS charge : june 24th

Thanks fellas

The documents finally arrived and ive paid up with every fee due - and theres an appointment with the vfs centre tomorrow (15th) so it seems all is well.

Really appreciate all the advice on the forums

I dont have a scanner is the issue. That and when i paid for the delivery they assured me services were running but slightly delayed. On top of that a wife “who knows best”

Update: I have posted all the evidence for our visa however the parcel is taking an age to arrive to my wife. We haven’t yet paid and completed the online application and neither booked an appointment with vfs. Question: The most recent payslip and bank statement i included in our evidence is May (p...

Ok - thanks for the clarification ! One less document to prepare is welcome

We’ve completed the online form already - however everything ive read before has said appendix 2 must be completed and provided. So now i am much confused!

The application will be done from outside the Uk if that matters?

On the appendix 2 form

Thanks for the clarification. Ok one last question back to the payslips etc. Question 3.12 asks “has your sponsor been in employment with the same employer and earning the amount, as detailed in 3.11 above, continuously for six months prior to the date of the application?” In my case, the first four...

One last question (i promise!) Ive just completed the online application for my wife, and towards the end chose the option that yes, the sponsor (me) is currently sponsoring another dependent (my step son). The financial requirement is correctly shown on the form summary as a result of 22,400. Howev...

Again, thank you both - very much appreciated!

Thank you for your reply - that has really helped with some reassurance! Slightly off topic - for accommodation is the following enough? 1) letter from landlord (number of rooms, permission to live there etc) 2) copy of landlords passport and signed / dated 3) official title deed from land registry ...

Hi guys - some help if possible please! For most of the previous year my salary was £21,819. On the last most recent payslip my salary has increased to £24,189. I am in the process of applying for a settlement visa for my wife and step-son (so a financial requirement of £22,400) For the past six mon...

Yes i understand that, but due to the overpayment error made in october (7 months prior to application) the first payslip i will include with our application (november) the net pay for that month is 970 or so... Do they only look at the salary amount with cat A? As that always states 21819 on my pay...

Thanks for you reply. My concern is that the first payslip i will include (november 2019) shows my total payments as only 972.99 for the month (as i was overpaid 930 or so in october). So if they do calculate the last six months average wage using the lowest sum, that looks very bad (october’s paysl...

Many thanks for your reply. I have worked with my current employer for several years now, so thinking it would be best to go for category A. I have asked them to supply a fixed payslip but then I assume I would still need a letter from them to explain why my bank statement shows a much smaller amoun...

Good day, Background: British sponsor, Thai wife and son (therefore a 22,400 requirement). A daughter we have together who lives here in the UK with me. I work in a salaried job (with overtime available) currently my salary is 21,819 and i have been doing approx £66 per month overtime in recent mont...
