Dear Forum Members, New data of March 2014 uploaded from BHC. so I think may be respected ECO were busy to celebrate Valentine day in February that's why they do nothing in Feb 2014. result they upload March data. lol... I still find it confusing the way these numbers are compiled... what does Sett...

Further to musriz's comments.... Please note for BHC.. causual pictures matter 10 times more than wedding pictures..especially if those pictures are selfies (taken from mobile) ...that gives the genuine touch... may be in the past people have submitted fake wedding pictures for proof...having said t...

Thank you for the response. The reason Im confused is. It often happens that the person filling out the form for someone else, is also a resident of the same country. Just thinking if its a problem if the main account has an address within UK, for an application which is being made outside UK. Try ...

If i be you go to a good solictor why waste so much money ifyoney on visa and at ebd u find out u dint get visa. U need pics and alot more. Home office thy do underatand but thry if its something easy to reject they will reject. You need to get all pappers ready frm solictor or else you wil regret ...

Im applying for my mother and i intend to fill out the form on her behalf. Unsure of the following: - Should i create an account in her name (with her address & contact details), and select Apply for myself; - Should i create an account in her name (with her address & contact details), and ...

Gerry contacted when passport was ready to collect.

HI Ammi.k

I have private messaged you.

My wife did not receive any confirmation or update post submission, the only message came with confirmation of passport being processed and being dispatched to visa application center (Gerry) with a call the following day that passport is ready for collection Who sent the SMS informing passport pro...

I think Gerrys do have a SMS service in Pakistan but not sure if they'll send messages for every status change.. I think its a just rubbish service..max they will do is sending SMS for collection.

Thanks Amber_

Hi all,

I was just wondering whether we get any acknowledgment (letter, email etc) from BHC after applying for spouse visa in pakistan? Just like home office sends letter within UK? Has anyone ever received the letter to inform the applicant that application is received or under process?

Thanks.

The 5 year period will start when the person enters the UK. They do give you an extra 90 days added to the leave to enter and you can also apply for SET(M) from 28 days before 5 years completes. Thus, you could stay outside the UK 90 days + 27 days and still only need one extension before applying ...

Amber, Casa... Please can anyone share some information? When spouse, who came to UK on a settlement visa as spouse of settled person, can apply for ILR (SET M)? The period of 5 years residence will be considered from entry clereance or arrival date? Is there any 90 days condition apply just like ot...

Hi All, Please can you let me know when 5 years of residence starts for the spouse visa (outside UK) of settled person to be considered for ILR? will it considered from the date visa is granted (entry clearance) or from the arrival in the UK? Let's suppose if the spouse comes to UK late after 3 mont...

Congrats Ammi.k ...some good news on the forum

Zeeh, sounds like you kind of know its gona be a refusal? don't mind telling us where have you made the mistake? If know it's refusal,I withdraw my application.I earn way above requirements.

Jigroot,

You shouldve started planning well before your father's tenure was over. You couldve applied for Tier 1 G (if you were working) as it was v easy then..home office have made difficult to stay in UK..

Good luck...

Khan sb,

If you ar eon Tier 1 G why you want information on spouse of settled person? Are you trying to apply or just seeking information?

Tier 1 G holders are not considered settled persons, you need ILR for that. If you are applying for your spouse than you will require PBS dependent application.

Dear ADUANWAR, I'm confused why would you apply for priority service when your application is on hold already. If you have met the criteria you can send additional documents to BHC and they won't take long to consider anyway.. I have seen applications rejected, or delayed previosuly are considered s...

Dear ADUANWAR, I wish you good luck...really... but I will never believe on a single word coming out of Mirpur Gerry's...I even find it hard to believe can even read english properly... you will know this when you research stupid mistakes and miscommunication from mirpur gerry's...they cannot even d...

Dear flozo64 an bilaljee, I find it hard to believe there is any or will ever be any priority service for UK, not even for any country in the world. There are certain checks that need to done before visa is granted and there is no time limit for those checks. And also some cases takes longer to asse...

WR1, I knew you would come up with this 2 years old link that doesn't have any legal value. If your case is rejected you cannot refer this years old link to BHC. And a lot has been changed since then, rules are much tougher...secondly IELTS for student visa require much higher score .. majority uni/...

Amber you are correct but my post was in reference to fn286 post which did state: As per guideline applicant must score 4 or above in all categories... its not just over all score.. Your wife will have to give IELTS again. So only making a correction of fn286 post as not all categories is required,...
