Hi guys, My spouse visa expiry is 24-10-21, 5 years route, going for extension. I changed my job a month ago and moving flat on 10-10-21. My question is do I need latest bank statement and payslips with new address? Also mine and my wife’s driving license address. I am afraid I might not get all tho...
Hi, I have got my spouse visa in February 2019 for 2.5 years fresh application ouside UK. My wife is expecting our first child and due date is in Dec this year. She (British citizen) is not entitled for work maternity pay as she fell short of a month to qualify for that. My question is whether she c...
I applied through priority service on 12 Dec 2018 from Lahore, documents sent 18 Dec, application ready for ECO email on 8 Jan 2019, visa stamped 16 Jan 2019, called to collect on 21 Jan, visa valid from 25 Jan. I had previous refusals and overstay and considering xmas and new year holidays, it was ...
It's priority service but the website says it's not available in all centres including Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Mirpur. You can contact them for details. It's a good option to avail but since it's not working right now, just go for standard application I guess.
Send all the documents to your spouse in UK who will send all documents to Sheffield. You only need to submit valid passport in Lahore and take online application form and appointment letter with you.
You need that receipt with tracking details just in case documents go missing in transit. If you find the receipt, check the tracking details online, it will show some activity if home office has dispatched them to you.
Chances are you'll get documents back within next few weeks. Have you sent them a return envelope with documents? In any case, you keep calm and hope for best.
Write his full immigration history. Has he worked after went illegal, used NHS services or studied? Has he ever been told to report to home office and he missed his reporting?
Yes, as long as these papers have your address and are stamped by bank, you're good. You could ask the bank to send you statements by post if you have time, they usually take 4-10 days.
Hey you all! Any other thoughts regarding this process? Do you think we have good chance of having it approved? I'm now trying to deal with VFS Global and their terrible website. When trying to buy the priority service, it comes up with a different GWF reference every time and doesn't allow me to c...
If it was me, I would not include her workshops/ informal courses transcripts and would not mention in the cover letter. Don't lie, just don't include in the details and skip this part unless it is already in home office's record, it might go against her. Good luck
Ask her to take 2X priority payment receipts to appointment. They send 1 with passport and 1 for their record. Put one priority receipt in supporting documents on top of application along with IHS receipt. Write "Priority" on the envelope along with GWF number to help the staff know it's priority ap...
Yes, council refers all cases to HO and HO will allow it if there is any pending application. Sorry to disagree with your view - my experience in these cases is to refuse permission to marry. A pending outside the rules application is not going to convince the HO to allow the marriage particularly ...
I would suggest applying FLR FP non married partner route. Just before the application, go to your local council to register your marriage. I am assuming she still holds her valid passport with her which is required by registry office? If your valid application is under home office consideration, th...
This is the standard process. Now you get an email from them that your application is ready to be considered by an ECO. Next step is you or/and your employer might get a call to confirm your employment details. If they do not call, they simply make a decision and send passport with the decision lett...
You are right, they used biometric picture but there is space for a picture on the application form and they might keep a picture for record keeping. I think there is requirement to send 2 passport pictures anyway.
My visa was valid from 25 Jan 2019 and I arrived on 14 Fab, collected BRP next day. Just read the letter came back with passports, all the details are just blew the post office address.
Have you submitted the application, made any payments yet?
The address is visa4uk.fco.gov.uk
Make sure you don’t fill out a wrong form, a lot of money and efforts are at stake.
Best practice is to follow UKVI website, they have links to everything including online application link, IHS link, etc.
I think masters degree is more than enough. Aren’t your writing a cover letter, it’s helful if the case worker is confused on things or some documents go missing, at least by reading the cover letter they know you qualify for all the requiremts. Are you providing her fathers bank statement only or h...
I think the solicitor is trying to get the applicant insurance so they can go to NHS for some medical grounds to avoid reporting or even if they have to go for reporting home office don’t detain people on medication as long as they fulfil immigration bail conditions and insurance is to avoid immigra...
