Dear all, Thanks all for your great support. I picked up my passport today, GRANTED. few questions: The name is written as FAMILY FIRST MIDDLE (no commas in between) Is it ok? I’m used to Last name then comma, then first middle. The vignette is one month from last week. Then visa is granted until Au...
Have you opt for “keep my passport”?. Yes I paid extra $75 to keep my passport as I needed to travel. I didn’t inform them of my travels after the application submitted, I hope it is okay. They will find out after I submit my passport. I just hope I get granted the visa. Question: will the vignette...

I was hopeful that the process may take shorter time but it doesn’t, spouse visa outside UK. - can I travel to UK with my Australian passport (same one I used for application) while pending application? I read that if someone lived in Uk and applies can’t travel but not sure the other way around? A...

Thanks for the great replies, it’s a relief. Speaking of marriage certificate, I can’t remember if I mentioned it before, My wife and I are originally Syrians, she was born in UK and hence is British citizen. I hold Australian passport. We got married in Syria 25 years ago and our marriage certifica...
Just to clarify, although I never lived in the UK, we are setup with our own flat and UK bank accounts etc. I don’t need her to be there the first few days. In fact I want to go earlier so that I can renovate the flat and paint it
Thanks for the replica. I’m trying to prepare a plan for moving and have the following questions, When I submitted my bio at VFS and kept my passport, VFS staff told me if your visa is approved we will send you an email to bring your passport, you will have 28 days to bring passport otherwise your a...
Hi Waleed Could I ask how you checked the docs were uploaded? I was told that they can’t see what is scanned but I did pay the fee for the scanning service by VFS [/quote] Once you sign in with VFS it will ask for application number GWF and email address. Once entered it asks what you want to do: b...
My main concern is the upload facility via VFS Global. I had so much trouble with the system, it makes me wonder if they have actually seen the documents. I checked this morning, and the documents they requested are on the system. It’s the same concern I have. I uploaded the documents and I checked...

Or I need to count 30 months from entry stamp even though the brp may be valid for longer? Applying for ext...
We jointly own 2-bedroom 1-living room Spam bathroom flat. We are husband, wife, and 2 sons. In this forum, I was advised by some people that the living room is counted as a room, hence 3-room sufficient for 5 people. No problem, and thanks to all for clarification. It is only 4 of us, and that's ho...
During the extension application, do they ask you how you want the new card sent to you? For example do you have the choice to have it sent to post office or another address? Can you ask your questions in your own topic instead of tagging onto another members thread. It is unfair to the other poste...

OMG this is so much stress.. I just realized this: When I was filling out the application on previous travels to "other countries", UKVI required the date of entry and exit.
