Re: Child Benefit claims in Past and Applying for ILR

I think your missing whole point, your main condition of visa is not using recourse or public funds. it applies past or present. I feel you better declare and attach letter from HMRC. Be safe I remember, couple of threads on this subject please search on forum. I tend to agree with this. It is bett...

Re: New Appointment Centre UKVCAS

I'm not sure which document you are referring to as "consent letter". Can you give a bit details, please? when you submitted HO online application then before or after payment they said to download consent letter. After that I think you signed that letter and upload on the online system https://vis...

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

I hope that someone who has recently applied for SET (M) will advise but I found this in a similar post concerning the declaration/consent form on this forum. Maybe if no one advises, it would be good to fill it out and when you go for your appointment, ask the staff at Sopra Steria if it should be ...

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

Can you share the reference for this? The delays may be due to an unexpected number of applicants using the super priority option and the resulting number of applications to process. Plus it seems there may have been a glitch in the system over a few days. Decisions seem to be coming in quicker now...

I can only comment based on posts I have seen on this forum but firstly, I was under the impression that documents are checked at the Sopra Steria appointment. It seems your weren’t ? I have also read that documents could be uploaded until 10pm the same day as the appointment. So it should be fine i...

Re: UKVI Digital Changes, No PEO/PSCs from October 2018?

I practised with my own passport at only 75 dpi and it was pretty clear. As there are no stamps I would probably scan at 75 dpi on all the blank pages and a higher resolution for the bio pages, etc.

Re: New Appointment Centre UKVCAS

I seem to recall reading that if you cancel, you have to book again and may lose any payment you made but not sure that was a certainty. However, I think you may well be worrying unduly and you will get an early appointment when you apply, keeping in mind though that the holiday will eliminate a cou...

Re: New Appointment Centre UKVCAS

It was actually my nephew going for FLR(M) for his wife and a friend of his going for ILR so no links. My nephew says there were quite a few available and he could have even got an earlier one. He went for a free one but could have paid £60 for an earlier one.
