Re: Visit Visa UK Embassy Email - Your UK visa application has been issued

hello all,

just wondering what is the standard visitor visa processing time in South Asia, from here I read it like 45-60 days? has it always been like that or only recently there is a delay (UKVI website says 15 days)?

Re: Applying for Visitor Visa for my parents from UK

UKVI website says 90% of the applications are processed within 15 days...but is it just me or the trend in reality looks like 90% of the applicaitons take 45 -60 days for visitor visa ?

has this always been the case or coz of Covid?

Re: Parents Visit Visa Refused – Help needed with Re applying

bro, as applicats your parents must prove they will need to go back.

since your dad is in business, get some documents from PAK confirming his business, also any other ties, investments/ savings / property etc on their name..

Re: UK Visitor Visa for Parents

I will answer the questions I know. - you have to apply via gov.uk webiste visitor visa. - I think it is safe to mention your status as ILR, so that you can prove easily. Remember, sponsor not being in any violation of rules is important. - For the three people, I think you should apply separately a...
