Hi Guys, I am double minded on something, as I mentioned last week, I paid for priority service but forgot to mention on the application that I actually paid for priority service. Hence I emailed the HO paying £5.48 for the email service, i got reply back saying we need GWF and other information to ...

Hi Guys, Just to update, today my employer and I received the calls almost same time. Nothing difficult very simple questions, where I work and who I report to, and wether I am related to the employer, which I am not. Only thing is I had to repeat my marriage dates few times, I was saying something ...

That's great hope it goes well

Only problem, it was a lady who called the receptionist, but email was from a Lady at HO, my MD mistakenly put "Dear Sir" in his reply, I hope they won't get offended ?

My company's MD has replied back.

He is off for next couple of weeks, but he replied with official company email and provided his personal contact mobile number in the email saying should you need more information please ring.

Hi Guys,



Today HO called the reception, basically where I work there are group of companies with shared reception, so they then emailed the receptionist saying they need job verification from my employer.


So shall I just tell my employer to email them back ?

Hopefully you get this sorted - all the best.

I have emailed HO, and they said they need to escalate my case ? And ask me to provide with a reason ?

They will possibly reply with "follow the instructions that we have specifically set out for sending in priority applications in our guidance" Your best bet is sending them a email with proof so that they treat it as priority starting now. I am in process of sending them email, but their email serv...

What would be your grounds for a refund?

I payed for something which I am not even benefiting.

The fact that you pay extra to a third party for priority is a hint that the two systems arent linked.

Live and learn for the future - read small prints

Ok, so now can I ask for re-fund ? or would I be able to send them email and rectify that ?

They specifically ask you to mark the bundle with "Priority" otherwise how would they know its a priority application. Maybe send them an email with proof of payment for priority and explain the situation to them. Come to think of it makes sense putting on the bundle, I was confused on VFS website ...

Did you write "Priority" on top of your bundle and provided them with receipt of payment?

No I didn't do that.

Hi Guys, I applied for my wife's spouse visa a month ago using priority service. I am still confused how it works. Basically I filled online application form and paid for application fee and Health surcharge. Then I payed separately on VFS website for priority service using GWF number created on my ...

Hi Guys,


I have submitted the spouse visa application and sent documents to Sheffield. And paid £573 for priority service.
But I am still confuse when this service kicks in. On my online application form it said application type as "standard".

Hi guys,


Is it advisable to provide additional documents like proof of savings, even though I fulfil the requirements in Category A. I won't mention the savings on the Appendix2 but provide proof of savings as and additional document ?

Hi Guys, I posted this question earlier with no replies. It would be so helpful if somebody confirms my assumptions below. I have earned monthly gross salary of £1566 each month for last six months.

Hi Guys,


To proof the relationship, I am sending weddings pics, fights back home, btw we have a child who has been granted Passport last year, and call logs from whatsapp.


is that going to be enough ? I am not really comfortable sending private whatsapp messages.

Hi Guys,


My Monthly Gross is £1566.67.


So that makes it (6*1566.67)*2 = 18,792. Am I right to think I fulfil the financial requirements ?

You have about 20 days to submit the supporting documents. It does not have to be submitted at the same time in the UK as the biometrics in Pakistan.

Thanks again, is it 20 working days ? BTW i will be applying via priority service.

The electronic payslips need to be stamped/signed by your employer. Where you send documents and what documents etc, depends on where you are applying. The online process of visa application will tell you what to do. Thank you, My wife is applying in Pakistan and I am sending the documents to Sheff...

Hi Guys, can anybody kindly explain the process after Biometrics please ? My wife will have her Biometrics soon. Does she needs to send me any document or paper from Biometric centre ? Or I just need to quote the GWF number of her application on all my supporting documents. Secondly I receive my pay...
