And I'm worried that it's been forgotten and withdrawn without my knowing since I traveled outside during this period (I didn't know about that rule). Just to add, I have read on this forum that if you travel outside the UK while your application is being processed, it will invalidate the applicati...

Hi everyone, My FLR(m) is taking ridiculously long. It's been 13 weeks since the application and 11 since bio. The processing time starts from when you submitted the biometrics, not the online application. Thus Home Office is still within the estimated timeline. I had extra documents asked on Augus...

The border controller just asked me to wait in the waiting area as she needed to make some enquiries. I think it was because of my last day of arrival and she wanted to double check if I am still allowed to collect my biometric card (on the letter it says I can collect the card either within 30 day...

Can she submit the supporting documents (scanned services offered by VFS who are charging some fee) OR the husband should submit the documents in UK? It can be both, tell them to choose the one that is most convenient for them. There are four ways to submit the documents: 1. Self scan 2. Applicant ...

We have submitted my wife’s FLR, first extension after her initial 2.5 years visa. I believe we have submitted everything including correspondence but forgot to include photographs e.g photos we have taken to gather on honeymoon, holidays and on a family occasion. I don’t think you need to include ...

because the spouse visa application was accepted with it and that it was Level A2 already, would it be accepted for extension application too (5 year route)? Or is sitting one of the new approved tests the safest way? Even though it was used to support your previous application, the test isn’t on t...

1) I am in the US and the only people I know in the UK are my family members. How can I get a second referee if I do not know anyone other than family in the UK? Am I now not able to apply for my British Citizenship via this route now as I do not know a British citizen that is not family that I cou...

I asked my wife regarding the checklist - she signed it and wrote her gwf number but it wasn’t given to her to keep and the vfs Officer took it I don’t know if that varies depending on the country of application, but I was allowed to keep the sheet where I signed (like a receipt). Even when the VFS...

Thank you Jaune08 for taking the time to respond. The medical treatments were GP visits. The issue I have now is I don't remember the GPs I had in the 3 different locations we lived. Online searches seem to indicate that local NHS trusts only keep records relating to hospital visits and GP visit re...

My wife went to the vfs system and they confirmed that The evidence was all downloaded on the system by the Home office. My question is, is this normal?? If they needed some specific document, would they address it in the email because this is so general and vague I’m not sure what it can be.. If y...

2. I reviewed the spouse visa form and there’s a question that asks for medical treatment received in the UK and whether I have a NHS number. When I lived in the UK while waiting for the application my parents made to be processed, I did get medical treatment but do not have records of this or the ...

sorry can you assist me with my query please, I have booked for my wife via British council website and yes it’s kind of ielts A1. Is this not the one which is approved by UKVi? The English test must be an UKVI version of the IELTS A1, which means the certificate contains an UKVI reference number t...

is there any possibility to get refusal because taking the test in another country? No, it shouldn't a problem sitting for the test in another country. A friend of mine did this and her visa was granted: her home country didn’t offer any IELTS approved centre for visa purposes and had to travel to ...

It should be under normal 5 year of route because (flrfp)10 years route visa can't be granted from outside the UK.

Thank you seagul!! I was just worried because I was shown a letter exactly like mine but it was referring to a 10-year route, which was so weird actually.

Hi again rubaarya, 1. Do we get the BRP after the 1-month vignette's expiry? or is it immediately issued once the 1-month vignette is issued? The vignette is valid for 30 days and within those 30 days, you must travel to the UK and collect your BRP. In the approval letter is stated that your vignett...

Dear members, I’ve got the approval letter from Home Office and I have a major confusion about the wording used for the 5-year route. Turns out I got the letter by email while I’m still waiting for my passport, and when I’ve read the letter, it isn’t stated anywhere under which route I have been put...

I'm wanting to confirm that this the only and best way to arrange for my wife and children to join me in the UK? That’s your only option if you are British by descent (you were born abroad and got the citizenship through one of your parents) and you have never lived in the UK at any point in the pa...

There was a small issue at the border control, I think it was because I arrived on the last day and maybe because the system showed my refusals. I was put in a waiting area (you know next to queue with glass walls) for like 5 minutes, but everything was fine and they let me in! That’s really useful...

The only concern I have is that my declaration in my application of overstaying might affect my application. It depends on the circumstances that surround the overstay. What I’ve seen, it’s that HO will look if you overstay under a tourist visa and for how long, but major events that negatively imp...

Hi just a quick question. How does home office know that you have paid extra for the keep my passport service. Home Office doesn’t know I think, as it’s a service provided independently by the visa centre. Just like any other premium services they offer. That’s why the visa centre is the one who ca...

Hi sorry I didn't know that there were questions about the applicant's medical treatment history in the UK? My partner has Type 1 diabetes and has had treatment here while visiting me, but he only sought that knowing that the UK and New Zealand have a reciprocal arrangement regarding medical treatm...

Hi. Someone who has been in the UK for nine years, entered on student visa, overstayed three years, caught working, applied asylum in 2014, in process ever since, but has legally married within the UK to UK citizen 2015, no children, wife meets financial requirements etc: can he apply for spouse vi...

We only have a few days left until her VAC appointment. At this point it looks like she'll have to use the scanning service at the centre. Has anyone else had the same problem though? Any joy? Hey. I wouldn’t panic too much if the website is acting weird. To be honest, the VFS website is rubbish an...

I presume my visa has been refused. Did you received your decision by email? Did you have refund IHS before decision? UKVI taking long send me the refusal letter that's why I'm worried!! What was the ground of your refusal? Yes, I got the decision by email. First I noticed the IHS refund, then I re...

I know the application most likely refunded but my question ihs refunded 10 of August have not received refusal letter. How long they take send refusal letter? There's no exact way to know. Normally, Sheffield notifies you about the refusal by a letter, but in rare cases (like mine) you might get a...
