Hello friends,
It will be very useful to all if you can please mention what additional documents they asked for.
Thanks,

Thanks for your advice. Only one complaint about the website you've mentioned. It requires too many clicks to navigate the practice tests. Are there any other good sites that you/anyone recommend? There are plenty and that's why the confusion.

What was the number you contacted for BRP Error correction? Mine has a typo in place of birth. They missed the letter A. I don't think this really matters. I guess you always have the option to contact UKBA for such issues. I spoke to UKBA and they said that it's essential to correct this error. It ...

Thanks a lot. I still have not received an explanation from UKBA on what went wrong. Either it must have been inside UKBA & someone's tracking number must have been provided to me by mistake. It was nearly a month of peace-less mind finally has come to an end, a good end indeed. We tried too many op...

Oh! Whata timing... Just got it from UKBA. No idea how. I will update more details later.

So far my attempts to reach them for a status on this were unsuccessful. Their customer support just hangs up saying that they are all busy and call later. I am trying daily. Is there a 20 days response time as part of their service standards? I don't know where I read it, but can't find it.

Hello Greenie, Royal mail says it can not reveal who it was sent and which address it was sent to since I am not the sender. They asked me to contact UKBA since they are the sender. UKBA hasn't got back yet. Their customer support says they don't have the address to which it sent to since it is not ...

@rpsarangi:
Hello,
Thanks for the response.
If we apply for duplicate passports before UKBA confirm that our passports are lost, can I still apply for claims for hardship?
Btw, I don't have any travel plans at least for another 6 months.

Hello Everyone, I need some expert advice on my options. - Applied for Tier 1 G extension in Jan mid (main applicant & 2 dependents) - Received all 3 Biometric Residence Permit cards on 25-May with validity for 2 years - Passports & other docs not received - I contacted UKBA on 28-May and was given ...

UKBA's online booking system is clearly discriminating against family applicants. I would suggest everyone affected to send out a tough complaint letter/email to UKBACustomerComplaints@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk. If 3 individual applicants can get appointment, why can't they combine 3 5-minute slots to a...

Hello United1878, Did you get the visa?

Hope this helps... Visa Section [enter name of Embassy] [enter address of Embassy] [enter date] Dear Visa Officer, This letter is to confirm that the following employee is travelling to [enter country] on holiday.

When I came in last year start, I went to Barclays bank in East Ham. I told them i just came in to the country, so have no address proof in UK, but have to keep my money safe. They asked for 2 form of ID. I produced my passport and indian driving license. I was able to open the account.

Hi tekkie, Pls post your questions in one location. It is easy for someone else to follow. I have answered your question http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=271250&highlight=#271250 That is not a problem. Our circumstances can change over-time. When you applied you may plan to bring you...

Hi Tekkie,
That is not a problem. Our circumstances can change over-time. When you applied you may plan to bring your deps after 1yr. Later change your mind and bring them in 3 months.

Hi Sathish,
Definitely no offence taken. In fact, you're right in mentioning that his dependants can apply after 2 months. Most of the dependant visa processing in done within a week. If the delay in applying is only due to housing proof, that's what I've mentioned as it is not a mandatory evidence.

Hi push_hsmp,
I have written an email to UKBA Indian HO regarding this. I've not heard back from them yet.

Hi Kumar,
My answer here http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... ht=#271159

I guess this will be an excellent topic for an investigative reporter to uncover the nasty "legal" robbery in countries where more people apply for UK Visas and in countries where people are immigration literate to prepare their own applications. This may explain why UKBA cust service in USA is much...

I first thought it could be due to VFS as middle-man(/woman). Since it is same in UK as well, what could be the reason for this difference? Anyone helping to find out the answer would be helpful for so many waiting souls. I do agree there are several other issues to be sorted out by them, but this t...

Hi Tekkie, 1) If you're in UK, applying main applicant and dependants together is cheaper than dependants applying later. So it makes sense to apply together (provided you have maintenance proof). Seeing how you've calculated maintenance funds, I assume you're outside UK, then answer is Yes. You ca ...

I applied for Tier 1 G in USA with UK Consulate in Newyork and they sent me an email on visa approval saying "Your visa has been issued.". This thread is to talk about reasons on why UK Embassy in India is not doing the same? Kindly contribute the knowledge you have on this. Our email id is in the a...

We do not need to submit accommdation proof if the dependants are to travel after 2 months. In my case my wife & kid are supposed to travel in Aug 1st week. Still we managed to get the visa without acc proof (applied on 7th July). Maintenance funds is all they're about. If you show sufficient funds,...

I hope this is a relief email to many of you breaking head on housing proof. Good thing is it is not required (though it is worth mentioning in additional information section on why you could not provide this). I did not even provide pay slips since in my gut feeling it is additional proof and hardl...

Thanks everyone for your valuable inputs. My dependants got visa. I am in UK on Tier 1 G and my dependants applied from Chennai VFS. Here is the list of docs submitted with application: - Original passports - Original marriage cert - Original birth cert - Maintenance funds proof (Bank passbook and S...
