Hello there, I have a British Passport for about 7/8 years and married to Mrs who has Indian passport for last 5 years. She initially moved to UK under “spouse visa” and got a BRP for 2.5 years. We renewed her visa again about two years ago. She is about to complete her 5 years being married to a Br...

Understood - thanks Seagul. Just to be clear the requirement is for 6 evidence each (or 5 each and 1 joint.. so on). As long as the 6 evidences each are spread evenly over the period of the last 2 years - it should be good, right? We have stayed in our previous address for 7 months (Jan-2018 to July...

show correspondences spread across 2 years including but regardless of the addresses?
!

I mean, does it matter where we have stayed. i.e. do we show the same number of evidence for previous address and then the same number of eveidence for the new address

We are putting together all our documents for my wife’s application for her BRP extension (we are living in the UK and she has been on spouse visa for 2.5 years) and have an important question with regards to the evidences of living together. We understand that we have to show items of correspondenc...

@CR001 - thanks for a prompt reply. Another quick question, we are planning a trip to India to attend a wedding in Jan. When coming back to UK she would only have left about 1.5 months of valid visa left - would that be a problem crossing the border at Heathrow? (I know sometimes the border control ...

My Mrs who came to this country on Spouse/Settlement Visa (I have a British Passport) will complete the 2.5 years of initial stay on 24th Feb 2020. Although, she is a fulltime permanent employee and earns more than £30k/annum (since last 1.5 years) however since her visa expires in Feb 2020, her "jo...

I am a British Citizen and married to my wife who is an Indian citizen. My wife came to the UK in June 2017 (2 years) and holds a BRP (based on a settlement visa). Her BRP expires on the 24th Feb 2020. I have two questions: a) when should she be applying to extend her BRP b) when can she last travel...

i am also waiting for mine i applied in March still no reply

Yes - we have received a positive result two days ago...

In terms of the possible next steps; here's a crazy thought: Can I go knocking on the door of UKVI Offices in Sheffield? (Desperate times and all that...) Probably sounds like a stupid idea, but they have failed on point 4 & 5 of the UKVI Customer Charter: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/syste...

Hi Mohit We are in exactly same situation as u, have u received any email from HO yet since applied?? Na Bittu ..... we are still waiting to hear back... I keep calling the UKVI's HGS call center but since yesterday either (1) it comes back with a busy tone or (2) if I do connect through to them, t...

Hi Mohit, We have received visa approval on 19 May 2017. I wish you luck with your application. Thanks Kanwaljit Singh Sorry Kanwal - not sure if you get notification of my previous reply because it was an edit. Quick question: Did UKCI inform you when it went over the threshold of 60 working days?...

Hi Mohit, We have received visa approval on 19 May 2017. I wish you luck with your application. Thanks Kanwaljit Singh Kanwal - Thanks a lot for the update - I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. Did they inform you when it went over the threshold of 60 working days? did UKVI contact you and tell y...

No problems with there application still been put on hold
I request to all, if they get any update please let us know.

When did you apply Raj and from which VAC?

Has anyone else successfully involved their MP in a complaint about the UKVI? Really sad state of affairs with UKVI really... I've read many threads on here and have seen many forum users been waiting for more than 12 weeks - a guy has been waiting for over 24 weeks as well. Read the following thre...

Has anyone that has previously been left in the dark with no updates and assistance from HGS and / or UKVI looked at contacting their local MP? Maybe a nudge from an MP would perhaps bring an update? Just a thought. Tried that mate - I tried to contact the local MPs and they have turned around and ...

anyone please help? Have you read Appendix_FM_1_7_Financial_Requirement.pdf Here's an example from the document: Example (a) The applicant’s partner works in the UK. She started a new job 3 months prior to the date of application and her gross annual salary is £22,000. She meets part (1) of the cal...

Just keep tune with this forum, surf Home office website regularly, and read newspaper. At the moment there is no major change has taken place. Regarding A1 test I think as long as it's valid on the date of application it should be fine. But make sure that the required type of A1 test must have bee...

I agree the home office have no consideration. However im feeling hopeful as my wifes friend in india who did their application a day before mine (mid feb) has now been told today that their passport is ready for collection on Friday. But they were only told this after their lawyer wrote a letter e...

Quick questions: 1. which VAC did you apply from? i.e. Which city were the biometrics done in? 2. Was your application priority or non-priority? Mohit Hi Mohit, not sure if you picked up my earlier reply. -VFS Centre in Thimphu, Bhutan. We were the first ever UK spousal visa application to be made ...

Rant over. UKVI are starting to really f*** me off now. Join the UKVI and HGS hate club mate! (HGS is the 3rd party call centre that answers questions to very less than useless abilities they have and charge us £1.37 per min). Anyhow - to cut a long story short - yes everyone on this board has been...

No point mate - they dont do anything even after any escalation - best is to sit and wait!

12 weeks is not great deal as of current processing times. I have applied on 14-Dec-2016. More than 20 weeks over now. I felt my application was straight forward and expected result in Feb or March 2017. But till today no result. :cry: When did you receive the "case not straight forward email"? wha...
