[Gunner786]

Anyone know if the travelling person needs the TB certificate with them? The home office still hasnt returned the supporting documents and the tb certificate is in that bundle.

If that doesbt get returned in time will i need to get the mrs to take another test?

[MizzTracy89]

You should travel with the TB certificate in hand luggage as they may ask to see it once check the visa

We are in same situation....my husband is retaking the test on tuesday bcoz i still havnt recieved supporting documents back n it will have expired too...the HO do state it is needed for application but its not mentioned to show or be needed when traveling...so its better to be safe n have it done again...

[Londoner007]

Ask the Spouse if they have a photocopy of TB Certificate to carry it with them. Haven't heard anyone say they were asked to produce TB certificate at the ports yet. If in doubt, they have equipment to conduct the TB test on arrivals.

If it's a finacè visa if it's for 6months or less then you don't need pay IHS

Simply state you applied for a 6 months fiance visa as there is a 2.5 unmarried partner settlement visa which is the confusion as you keep stating settlement none married.

If you clearly stated and selected fiance visa then no Ihs is payable.
