Hi all,


My son got his visa(ILR dependant) and passport delivered on last Saturday. UKBA took 60 UK working days to process his visa.


Thanks,

Hi UKIlr2012, Apologies for my later reply. I was really bogged down with my office work. A lot initial discussion in this page is about conflicting info provided in UKBA website and UKBA India response. Information you may find in UKBA website may be true if you are applying VAF4A inside the UK. It...

Hi UKIlr2012,

Please go through appendix2, Financial requirement is applicable in your son's case.

Thanks,
Chandra Battini

Hi pullikanti 1) I didn't provide any documentary evidence. I wrote in the appendix2 that i was in contact with my son through video chatting and telephone. Also, i provided some photos that i took my son when i visited India recently. Actually, i submitted these photos for a different reason i.e my...

Hi pullikanti, In my case the reason is very simple - Just after baby delivery my wife got mortal postpartum complications due to NHS's negligence. It took more than 1.5 years to recuperate from her complications to sustainable level. Most of this time, she spent in India with the baby. When she app...

Hi Muthu, We’ve submitted 4A application with Appendix2 five days ago. Although we tried to submit both Appendix1 and appendix2 with 4A application at VFSA centre in HYD , VFS person accepted only Appendix2 with 4A. As per online 4A application(which is mandatory in India), appendix2 is the correct ...

Hi Pullikanti, A UK immigration lawyer suggested me to include these documents. 1. Reasons for leaving my son in the India -- in the cover letter. ->In the cover letter, mention a few words as to why you need to send you kid to India. 2. Docs that suggest that I've financially supported my son in In...

Hi, I got the below list while filling my 4A application online. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In addition to this online application form you must also complete and submit a paper vers...

Hi Shanmug, I understood that only if a medical condition of a child doesn’t allow the child to be screened for TB, then the clinician shouldn’t go with screening and he should mention the valid reason in the certificate. Otherwise, a child must be screed for TB and a certificate be submitted. Thank...

I have no idea why the chennai UKBA team has asked me to produce TB certificate for a 2.5 years old child. To me, it looks like they are not following updated UKBA rules. Otherwise, how could they ask us to produce appendix2 when the UKBA website clearly indicates that appendix1 is correct one for c...

Please go through my reply posted on "Tue Jan 15, 2013 10:03 am" and is available in the previous page.

Firefly, Two quick questions for you. A) The second page of su07 is about certifying. Who will actually sign on the second page to certify the document ? B) For my ILR application, hardly a month ago, I got a employer letter that was referred to UKBA, Liverpool PEO office, at which i attended my ILR...

Firefly,

"Reg SU07 form , yes the lower part is for Official use only.". does it mean we don't have to fill in.

regards,
Chandra Battini

Firefly, Thanks for your valuable information. I never submitted an application at VFS office. Does the VFS person accept only the 'Applications and documents' that are relevant? How come some people are submitting loads of documents? My plan is to request VFS person to consider the 5 points that we...

Hi Deep, Looks like there is funding requirement. Point 17.1 of the UKBA document "STATEMENT OF INTENT: FAMILY MIGRATION " , which is available at http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/news/soi-fam-mig.pdf, mentions that "£22,400 for one child in addition to the partner and an addi...

Firefly,

Sorry,I meant submitting at VFS center(or posting it to the VFS center).

BTW, we don't need to fill in second page of su07 form, do we ? The section that says "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY".

Thanks,
Chandra Battini

firefly, Before my fist post in this page, A lawyer in the UK suggested me that i should submit vaf4a and its appendix1 online with the extra following documents(i think these docs are applicable only in my case as my son was born in the UK and now is 2.5 years old) 1. Reasons for leaving the son in...

Hi deep31, For your question on 'if i can submit both appendix1 and appendix2 of vaf4a' -- I think, you must fill in the application online(which Chennai UKBA person mentioned in his email to me, please read my posts in this page), and when you post it, i think, you can also attach appendix1(which i...

Hi Firefly, got the reply from UKBA team -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Chandra Battini, Thank you for your email. Although there is no option to tick, the Appendix 2 is the right form to be filled for your child; in point 5 below (As the child ...

firefly,

Did you get any update from UKBA team as to which option from the appendix2 options' list is applicable for a child of ILR parents?

I haven't received a reply from Chennai UKBA.

Regards,
Chandra Battini

Hi, Ive sent an email to Chennai UKBA team requesting them to suggest the appendix2 option to select for a child of settled parents. I'm waiting for their reply. In an email to me yesterday, they have clearly mentioned that its appendix2 that i need to submit for child of settled parents. Please go ...

Can we get to see these options in the first place if you fill the application online ?

Thanks,
Chandra Battini

firefly, Here is the response i got from Chennai UKBA team after mentioning the points you suggested ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Chandra Battini, Thank you for your e-mail. I have checked a few cases (similar to your circumstances) in...

firefly,

I'll resend the email mentioning the points 2 & 3 .

Chandra Battini
