I have a question regarding my wife’s visa extension that expires in sept 2020. I’m a British citizen and currently out of job (Break) due to COVID - 19. My wife is currently working in her fathers company as a permanent employee for the past 2 years. She has been earning £20k for the past 11 month...

do you think the Home Office will be working full capacity again? Depends on far too many variables to say for sure, but it seems unlikely. Guidance on vulnerable people continuing to stay at home, reductions in public transport capacity, and difficulties in securing childcare will likely keep many...

I have been uploading documents on the UKVCAS website. On the preview of some documents, the preview only shows tiny squares instead of the wordings within the whole document. I am not sure whether this is correct or not, or is it just a security feature? The UKVCAS staff should be performing a gen...

Do you think they'll be meeting their 12 week processing time as they aren't receiving any new applications (since applicants cant attend biometrics) The closure of the overseas visa application centres will also likely affect this timeline in terms of processing passports and sending correspondenc...

Thank you for your reply. Yes I know the 2nd question is a self explanatory question. The reason I have included it is because if this is the question "when did you start" that follows "where did you live together", then possibly the question "where" refers to the first place we started living toge...

Visitor visa I am unsure if they will get it as they are too young.

I don't think there are any age restrictions as long as all the eligibility requirements are met. I would imagine many people visit the UK with young children.

Could you please direct which documents which states any remaining leave from the previous visa should be added to the validity period (up to a maximum of 28 days). Certainly can. It's paragraph GEN.1.13 of Appendix FM linked below. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-ap...

I was wondering after how long would I be able to find out what my decision is It takes as long as it takes for them to make a decision. Unfortunately there's no real set timeline for when things will happen or decisions will be made. If nothing else, it sounds like some progress is being made, whi...

Applying before 33 months will this effect the ILR later on? No. The requirement for ILR is 60 months residence in the UK. So provided your wife has been in the UK for at least 30 months at the date of application, there would not be a shortfall when the time comes to apply for ILR. Note that the n...

Is there any way to obtain joint custody - special guardianship etc. so atleast they are here for a few months so my parents can have a break? Most of that question is more a legal one than an immigration one. If you're just looking to give your parents a break for a few months, a standard visitor ...

I am wondering if there is any way to bring them here to the UK as I am the only other family member who can look after them. I am single and have no children of my own. I am not aware of any immigration route that would allow you to bring children to the UK that are not yours. Financial dependence...

Hi all, I went through adequate maintenance guidance but can't seem to find correct calculation for C. All suggested scenarios are for couples with child. I will be on flr fp parent . So no couple involved. Anybody have required figures for C in relation to flr fp parent. Thanks Please see the thre...

See official example from guidance: I'm familiar with the example in the guidance, but the origin of the 6 month period used is rather unclear. Even going back to Appendix FM-SE, the calculation isn't based on the period 6 months prior to the date of application for determining gross annual salary ...

In case of varying income same none-salaried person approach formula will be used to get the annualized average income by taking the total of last 6 months wages from all jobs which should be at least £9300. However, If the wages don't vary and is fixed then it would be considered. Sorry, I'm not s...

*Bank statements and other papers: If i download my last six months statement and then attach them online will it be acceptable? same as my payslip and P60. Now a days all of them are on online. If the statements are on official bank stationery and appear more or less the same as the ones you recei...

Any Ideas I know it's tough being patient and having to wait not knowing when things will be resolved, but can't add much more than what the email says. The application centres are closed so they are unable to continue processing applications even if a decision was made and getting things moving ag...

Is the immigration office closed as we were informed? Is anyone hearing back from their applications? Our application is appearing to be at 'decision making stage,' is there a chance we may get a decision soon? This question presents a rather oversimplified version of the immigration process; there...

My first question is, when working out the gross annual salary - Total gross payments received divided by number of weeks in employment multiplied by 52, would I count my gross earnings from the very start of my employment with the supermarket, or from the start of the new permanent contact with hi...

I’m I right in thinking the following should suffice: We have, 3 different sources in JOINT NAMES: council tax - 3 annual bills covering last two years water bill - 4 statements covering last two years joint back statements - several statements covering last two years. Or do I need more? Many thank...

Hi all How is the category F financial requirement calculated? Is it Solely based onProfit before tax ? Or, Is it based on salary taken by my husband as director monthly combined with dividends. My husband’s limited company has only been operational for 6 months. So I am thinking of shortening the ...

The Visa Centre over seas in Nairobi is shut. And the TB centre is open but minimal hours. And its quite a risk attending at the moment due to the current situation. This is the only document I need really. Would it cause issues if we submitted when it was safe to go outside again, or would they qu...

I’m guessing I’m not the only one making visa extension application during this pandemic. Has anyone managed to get the home office to issue some sort of acknowledgement letter? Or will I receive one eventually despite not been able to book a UKVCAS appointment? First of all, please ask further que...

It seems there isn’t really a clear-cut answer. I’m quite worried that picking the wrong one will put me in the wrong category and then they will ask for evidence which I may not have prepared. If you are applying using Category A (and meet the requirements for doing so) and the application form pr...

I don't understand how you can have been living together for 2 years if neither of you have immigration clearance in the other partners country? It's most likely you can't. There have recently been some examples on here of people attempting to apply having lived together while on tourists visas in ...

The applicant and their partner must both be in the UK to apply for Further Leave to Remain (visa extension). I am not aware of any change to this requirement yet (others may have more on this). You may want to contact the Coronavirus Immigration Help Centre for advice on these circumstances. Contac...
