Could anyone reply? :roll: Unfortunately... none of us really bothered to overthink this non issue. If ur real is concern is with regards to the type of application you have paid for.. then look at the pdf copy of ur application. It will tell you exactly what you’ve paid for on the top section.

Passport application counter signatory must have a current valid passport as per rules. So even if you applied via paper form with such a referee it may be delayed and you would have to provide a referee who fulfils the requirement eventually. I don’t think ur application will “expire” in the mean t...

‘Our reference’ or ‘case ID’ either/or shall suffice.
Its really not necessary to state the reference numbers but since ur insisting..

HO office expects the online submission to be within 28 days of qualifying date.
On the other hand, caseworkers are advised to calculate continuous residence from day of decision if it benefits the applicant.

For SET(M) applicants- spouse visa settlement: DATE of ENTRY minus 28 days.
The biometric enrolment date is irrelevant.
The online submission date must be within 28 days of date of entry.
60 months from date of entry minus 28 days

Thanks aman90 for your kind advice. Clarifying your response on the Spouse name question: Not Applicable means - that I do not need to put their OLD name in the form, is that correct? Furthermore, regarding the application reference numbers - I will try to see if I can find the approval letters. Th...

1. In the spouse name - the question is Are they known by any other name - My wife had a different surname before marriage - so Do I need to mention that other name as well? I usually do that when the question is have they known by any previous names - but the question now is are they known by any ...

Thanks CR001 for your kind advice. Grateful, if you or the other moderators, can advise on the remaining queries. Regarding the documents, I am submitting the Salary Slips, P60s as part of proving that I have paid tax properly whilst in the UK. Bank statements, council tax is address proof in the U...

Don’t worry about categories.
Just upload each PDF under mandatory documents.

BRP shall suffice. It’s normal for one piece of evidence to fulfil different criteria’s. Having said that the HO does send out an official letter of approval before the BRP..

Hi all, any more feedback please. Will be much appreciated.

Sorry but what does ur decision letter say exactly.

Not necessarily. Wait for BRPs to arrive. Finally, I received BRPs for my dependents, but I have not received any instructions about paying the remaining 2 years IHS charges. Shall I wait or call them to clarify this? Are the BRPs of the length you expected and not relative to the IHS surcharge you...

Incorrect place to post ur question!
No. You don’t need to register ur child as BC.
No overstay. Travel shall be a problem once the visa expires.

Yes. You don’t need to have been married for 3 years. You need to have been present in the uk for the past 3 years amongst other requirements

She has stayed outside the country for two and a half years

There is no absence limit for spouse visa holders.
As long as the spouse held the pertinent visa while out she has a chance of getting ILR.

Please kindly let know online copy/print out are ok for Utility Bills and Credit card statements? The main bank statements are posted, other are only online (this is for cohabition) Thank you Yes. You do realise ur uploading docs? Not physically presenting them. Photographs? Sopra takes care of that.

A number of members once successful do not frequent the forum so u may not get any answer. Ur free to create ur own thread on the forum. Its also advisable as even though you may feel ur circumstances are the same but there could be one point which is different and that can make all the difference....

For PBS Main Applicant: First entry must be taken within 180 days of visa issue to qualify for against ISSUE date. If entered on or after 181 days than date of entry will be considered for calculation. In both cases applicants may apply 28 days before each qualifying period. AND before visa expiry. ...

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. So is it "Date of Issue!" - 28 and not "Date of Entry" -28? Is that right?

Yes. Date of ISSUE Minus 28 days


Date of ENTRY is used for NON PBS spouse visa applications. A different route altogether.

Date of issue minus 28 days for both pbs main applicant and pbs dependant.

Relax. It’ll be ok.
Each document is a separate PDF.
E.g passport plus pages= single pdf

It seems you reapplied for Tier1 ENT extension after refusal and are still waiting?
If that is the case than you are unable to apply for Long residence as you don’t have lawful stay.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. FLR(M). Do you have no other form of identity for taking test? You can request passport for taking test. Or. Vary and ask for it to be put on hold.

Would you consider varying to ILR under T1 Ent if you’ve completed 5 years..?

Your frustration is valid but it isn’t about ‘what difference it makes’, it’s about understanding what is right before submitting the application.

Lol. I feel sorry for you and ur plight not frustration.
