Hi Everyone I'm a little concerned. My wife from Canada who's applied to the UK for spouse visa had her bio metrics appointment on 25th Feb 2020 and she still hasn't received a response from the homeoffice. She is suppose to arrive here by end of June. I know this could highly be down due to COVID-...
I applied just before lockdown (biometrics on 22nd March) via non-priority I received the non straightforward email last month. I will contact them next week when the 60 days are over for an update Where are you guys applying from..is the VAC open? I am starting to believe that they probably have m...
I tried to reply before but not sure it went through. My husband and I applied for his spouse visa on 11th March (biometrics that day too) by priority. We received the above email + application not straight forward within 1 min of each other on same day in April When the lockdown eased in UK a coupl...
Have you heard anything from Homeoffice regarding your application. I was wondering if it is being processed now since lockdown ease. Not yet. They told us there were extended checks to be performed in an email we received last week. But haven’t confirmed anything beyond that. I’ve asked what such ...

Hi all I’m new to this forum but wanted to ask a question about student visas for Canada. My fiancé and I are planning to get married in India in November this year. His sister lives with her husband in Canada. And she’s saying that she’s not able to return for the wedding. Her husband is on a stude...
We received an email from the Sheffield Decision Making team today regarding the mandatory checks that need to be carried out: “ Once these mandatory checks have been completed the results of these checks may mean that further extended checks need to be carried out, this was the case with this appli...
The priority service does not include courier service, if that is what you mean. Courier service is extra, clearly stated on the website. https://www.vfsglobal.co.uk/in/en/premium-services/priority-visa-for-settlement To be clear - we have paid for courier service. But really just trying to underst...

It is only sent by courier if you purchased the courier service. If not purchased, passports are collected when ready from the visa application centre. We’ve done the priority service and included the courier service in this. So yes, courier is paid for. Does the VAC (ie VFS India) courier this bac...
Thanks for your response and am aware of the delays, wasn’t challenging this. I just wanted to understand what the process is and where the VACs fit in because this wasn’t clear to me from all the research I’d been doing. We have paid for priority service so I thought that this wouldn’t go back to t...
Hi - my husband is also waiting for his spouse visa at the moment. His application was done in India and biometrics submitted on 16th March. We received messages saying application is on hold etc because of corona and until the VACs open. My question is: the VACs that we’re waiting on to open, is th...
Hi - my husband and I have been waiting for an update since February. We’ve received a few emails since saying the application has been on hold and that our application isn’t straightforward. However I believe the latter is because we applied for priority services from India and because of Covid the...

UPDATE: Received 2 emails today from Home Office within 1 minute of each other. I’m hoping that the ‘application not straight forward’ email is purely because of this Covid situation and not because there’s any issues. Has anyone else received such emails? 1st Email: Thank you for applying for a UK ...

When we’re completing the online form, it’s forcing us to tick a box each to indicate that we will submit a NARIC certificate and English language test results. This is why we have assumed we must do both. If we tick both boxes (to move on to the next page of the application), do we still only provi...
