I’m sponsoring them and have £4000 in my account. My dad is a pensioner and have 7000£ in india saving account for l...

Thanks for your prompt response. Just as a follow-up to your answer (b): so it would technically be acceptable on the visa application to say then "a few months" but this would be comprised of multiple 2 week trips or so within the 6 month period? I think it'll likely be a 2 week trip, followed by ...

I applied for the standard UK visit visa and provided all necessary documents . But I received a rejection email today (06/02/2024) You state in your application you are employed earning 82,000 INR monthly (£781.668 where £1= 104.9038 INR as per www.Oanda.Com on the date of assessing this applicati...

OMG really? What happened then? Did the Welsh council return the cert, or did HO issue a duplicate?

Get In Touch with HO to ask your questions/clarify first lest you become bogged down by what does not apply to your situation.

Details are still to be provided by the Home Office. Re. ILR, not an expert, but which new rules are you referring to? I mean where she can prove her residency to immigration officer and when she can apply for indefinite leave to remain. Everyone waiting for what means to prove this that is to be r...

Hi All, I have submitted my FLR FP as of 01/02/204. I've got a couple of questions. I would appreciate it if you could answer them. It will also help if someone can share their success story if they went through something similar. - Do I get an account where I can get my share code for Right to Wor...

Hi All I hope this message finds you well. I am writing on behalf of my wife, who is a Moroccan national and is currently in the process of applying for a Spouse UK visa. We recently got married, and I, being a UK-born individual of Moroccan descent, am assisting her in navigating the visa applicat...

Correct. But key question, when did he enter the UK on a spouse visa? Or if he switched within the UK, what date was it valid from? What you do not want to do is apply too early and end up with a shortfall later for ILR. He entered the UK in July 2021. If we submit the application this week, he wil...

Sorry I was quoting category A Category B takes your earnings for 12 months prior to application. Does your total earnings exceed £18,600 I had a job before for 3 years that was salaried and is comfortably over the 18.6k requirement, i quit in December last year. I've been working for an agency pai...

Either date is fine so if you choose the date you have in mind still means OK.

IMHO, May be better to have scaled the immigration hurdles before going on that path.
Leaving it to more knowledgeable persons and zmODs to give their views.

Hi All, I am currently on resignation period with my current employer but have reference letter for my application and have got new employer with the VISA as well.

Hi all, I will cut to the chase. I’m coming to the end of my five-year Refugee Leave to Remain. The next step is to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain. According to the government website, I’m only meant to apply for ILR in the final month of my RLR. After which there is usually up to a six-month...

We applied priority service. Online states 5 working days. It's been more than 9 working days today and still no reply. Anyone in the same boat?

Look forward to your decision. If no additional documents requested or said to be missing, you can reclaim the priority fees

Many thanks for your reply. We applied 27th Feb but now getting very nervous. Having found the original letter that granted leave from 31st Jan 2019: "Following a continuous period of lawful leave to remain in the UK of a least 5 years (60 months), and subject to meeting the requirements of the Imm...
