Re: Spouse visa extension question

Thanks korekt Sorry, I just read it back and haven't worded it well at all (it's been a long day). I haven't sorted them as yet as I have a bit of time to play with, but documents include bills (with our names on them), GP letters, correspondence from phone providers, bank etc. For these I'm not too...

Spouse visa extension question

Hi all, hope everything is well Just a quick (paranoid) question. I'm soon scheduled to apply for the extension of my wife's visa (she arrived in the uk on a standard spouse visa for 2.5 years). Will I need to provide documents for the 6 months prior to renewing or over the whole period the initial ...

Re: Unable to get employer's letter

It's odd that they're quoting GDPR, as I would have suggested GDPR works in your favour. If you google it, one of the first results is a discussion on here about how GDPR helps to now get an employer letter. My inclination is they are trying to suggest they don't want other case workers (the ECO han...

Hi all What type of additional docs are requested, and what would be a typical situation for them to be requested? A friend of mine has recently applied for a spouse visa, and has only just realised an older version of his wifes passport was used for the tb test, but then it was amended and the amen...

Is this definitive? Specifically the bit about "uploading to the UKCAS portal BEFORE the biometric appointment"? Yes. Anything uploaded after the biometric appointment won't be considered.

Re: Help! I got a girl pregnant in Madagascar.

I'm not sure that marriage not being something you "desire" is going to cut it, especially given you also talk of your "moral principles". She may be unlikely to pass the IELTS test yet, but she can learn. Given it sounds like you're unemployed from your post, your parents are probably the most like...

Hi CR001 As I said, it wasn't the name of the employer I was after. Obviously, HO reserve the right to contact any employer when assessing an application and there wouldn't be objections to this from me. However, as we all know, policy and practice are sometimes different. I've also been advised tha...

Three options: 1. Preferably stay at your current job and wait until visa approval, or 2. Join the new job and once you get 1st month payslip then add previous 11 months payslips from previous employer along with 12 months of bank statement to apply under category B. or 3.
