Visa Appointment

Post by Aleena_wasiq2 » Sun Mar 19, 2017 5:06 pm

Hi,

I want to book an appointment for my spouse visa to UK but I am confused about below options available as I am not sure which one is more suitable for me:

>Standard Appointment
>Premium Lounge
> Primetime

Can you please confirm what these appointment mean? I want to book a priority appointment.

Many thanks,

Aleena

Thank you for replying.

I want to book a priority appointment but I can find any option for it on my account. Can you please advise why is that?

Many thanks,

Have a look at that page, it gives a link you can click to pay premium service charge.

Hi,

Thank you for replying back, this really helped :)

I have now booked the appointment and have to pay the IHS charges. I will be applying for spouse 2.5 year visa and technically should pay £500. However, Visa4UK is asking for 80808 PKR payment which equals to roughly about £600. Can you please advise why is that?

Many thanks,

Aleena

In initial Spouse Settlement visa is issued for 30 months which equals £600 IHS.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Casa means '33 months'.

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

I have 2 more questions and I would really appreciate your help.

Q1: I am filling up the appendix 2 form for spouse visa to UK and I am bit confused about question 1.19 on the form
1.19: Have you lived with your sponsor in a relationship akin to marriage or a civil partnership at anytime (including since your wedding or civil partnership ceremony)

I live together with my partner when he comes to Pakistan, shall I just say this or do I need to add anything else?

Q2: I am going to post my documents to Sheffield including my TB test and I believe once the visa is granted I have to collect all documents from the UK but I would need the TB test report on UK airport for immigration. Please confirm if I would need to send the copy of report or original document with my application.

Thank you so much for all your assistance

Many thanks,

Aleena
