That fee is an error on their side and shouldn't be anything to worry about im guessing it's either that they have use the incorrect currency symbol or its just a technical fault.
Aslong as you was able to submit just disregard the amount

Every case is different hence every case takes it's own time
A lot of people I think do not understand the £ 18,600 rule
Inc some solicitors
It not the case that you earn £18,600 a year they check weekly or monthly pay which must be equal to £18,600
So every week you must earn gross per week £357.69 minimum
I'f you do not earn that don't waste your time applying
Any pay you get must be the same that goes in to your bank account ukba can easily check your job and earnings from Glasgow

Hi guys

i have a few questions if thats ok

i live in the uk and i'm applying fora spouse visa for my husband. my lawyer has gotten all my documents together which i have.

he told me to get my husband to just apply at the centre but from what ive seen on this forum most people have applied online first. can you apply when you go for the appointment and where do you book the appointment? im soo confused right now as to whats supposed to be happening.

You must complete the online form VAF4A
Pay the fee for the visa and also the IHS fee which is the NHS fee only then are you able to book an appointment for submission and biometrics.


the lawyer has filled both forms in by hand. my husband is going to pay the fee in pakistan and im going to pay the nhs fee here
can you not just book an appointment by phone and hand the form in by hand. if you do the online spplication do you have to pay there as well?
Think what your lawyer is saying is that they complete the form there ... print and book appointment.

For my wife's visa I completed the form here in the uk paid the fee and posted everything out to her including documents

[sanahtalha]

im really confused as to my my lawyer would say that the application can be submitted by hand and so the online form does not need to be complete.

if i do the form here in england online can my husband submit the fee in pakistan?

and where do i write the ihs reference number?

i was going to send the application tomorrow so im confused as to what to do now. should i speak to my lawyer to confirm?

im soo sure he said you dont have to do the online application

Where is this lawyer based?? He is a confused case

You have to complete form online
only some countries you complete by hand and Pakistan isn't one of those
only form you complete by hand is appendix 2....

The choice is yours you can complete the form online and yes your husband can pay the fee in pakistan online ... once the fee is paid will he be able to book an appointment.

The IHS fee needs to be paid whilst completing the online form ... there is a link you click which opens up another page where you input details of applicant.
once complete and fee paid you get an email ... print it out and attach it to the online form which you print out once you have submitted the form online.
This hard copy form is what you will need to take to the VAC with all the other forms and documents.

You will already be allocated a GWF number once you submit online form.

Look at all the other posts in here .. every single one a pakistan applicant submitting for spouse visa in pakistan. Everyone has completed the online form ... so personally you lawyer is misinformed or either he is talking about appendix 2 which yes you complete that form by hand but not the VAF4a which MUST BE DONE ONLINE

Hi everyone

I've been a silent reader for a couple of months now and thought I'd create an account as I submitted my online application for my husband's visa last week! He is due to attend his biometrics appointment at Mirpur on Monday. If I'm correct we should be getting our decision mid September?

I have to butt in - A lot of lawyers and solicitors know very little about the immigration process and they mess around with people lives.

This person seems confused, most applications can be dealt without ANY help from solicitors and lawyers.

I would advise you to create a new thread - and read some of the sticky threads about what you need to do.

http://www.immigrationboards.com/immigr ... 06101.html

The above is a good start - and before you submit - just let us know what you are submitting etc - and then go from there.

Thanks for replying.

I don't know if you could help me but I've seen your posts and you seem like you know your stuff. I've been on the wrong tax code for two years at my full time job and consequently was put on the wrong tax code for my part time job. I sorted this out in Feb so from March onwards my tax is perfect. But for two months I paid no tax for my part time job.

I spoke to HMRC who said this is fine as even though I have underpaid tax, I will be receiving a calculation so I can pay any outstanding tax immediately. I will receive this next week. I have explained all of this in a very detailed note in my application and explained that HMRC can back all of this up. Will this satisfy the ECOS?

Yes you should hear from them by middle of September unless they write to you and advise you otherwise.

You are probably better of using an agent or lawyer there as they seem to know more about making applications than most people here. There are a few of them that have offices near Gerrys office in Islamabad that deal with immigration to all countries and not just UK. You will probably find them in other cities as well.

[sanahtalha]

well ive just been on the phone to my lawyer and he's saying now that yes you do have to fill it in online. im so fustrated becuase he definatly didnt say that before.

i already have the form filled in by hand so im just going to send that to my husband for him to fill in there.

i i was to fill the form here in his behalf would i have to pay the fee here as well?

i have already paid the nhs fee from here so will i just have to give him the reference number if he fills the form in?

i just want to get the ball rolling because as far as i'm aware the submission needs to be in within 28 days of my last statement.

You can fill out the form yourself and pay the fee online using your bank card, and just ask him to print out the application form in Pakistan. There are many places that have computers, internet and printers over there.

yeah but he's going to being paying the fee not me. So if i was to fill in the form online would he be able to pay from there or would he have to fill it in then

[adnan111]

yeah but he's going to being paying the fee not me. So if i was to fill in the form online would he be able to pay from there or would he have to fill it in then

You can still complete the application and save it. Then he can go online there and submit the application and pay the fee. The fee has to be paid in £ Sterling I believe and I don't know if you can pay it in cash as usually it is paid by debit or credit card before the book is issued.

That shouldn't be a problem as long as you can put everything down on the covering letter backed up by correspondence from the HMRC to state that you have spoken and you have paid underpaid tax that should be fine... also make sure that your part time job has the wage slips to backup you meet the threshold and that the net pay is equal to that of the wage slips. Alot of people getting refused because their pay doesn't reflect their bank statements.

is that right. well he lives in pakistan so wouldnt be paying in £sterling. is there no way of just transferring money from our join bank account we have in pakistan to the account of the visa people. and if i've paid the nhs surcharge here in £ would that become an issue?

I don't know if there is another way to pay. It does not matter if you pay on your bank card here, you are the sponsor and are entitled to pay on behalf of the applicant.

Adnan is correct doesn't matter who pays Aslong as the fee is paid
For convenience it would be easier for you to pay the fees sanahtalha
