Thanks Miangee, please keep us posted and best of luck. I'm planning to stick to my council appointment and go with new form. Although I don't have any plans to travel, but at least I'll have my originals just in case and council will check my docs first before sending through. I'll also keep you po...
Thanks Fwd079 for the quick answer and sharing your experience. I truly understand the value of being able to travel if need be, and for that I completely agree that this benefit outweighs the cost, the cost was really the last thing in my mind. But as I said the new form is confusing and apparently...
Hi, I'm in exactly the same situation as Miangee, thanks for starting this thread as reading through it answered lots of my questions. I have my appointment on 2nd April as well, and now I'm aware that I need the new form as it will reach HO on 7th and that's when the new form and new fee will be ap...
Thanks fwd079 for your reply. My question is actually for the situation where someone passed the LitUK test BEFORE 28th Oct 2013 and applied/granted ILR AFTER 28th Oct 2013. For some people, they passed the LitUK test BEFORE 28th Oct 2013 and applied for ILR AFTER this date. If 'meeting the requirem...
Hi All, Have seen so many people asking this question but no conclusion yet so thought I'd put it up in simple words for experts to answer; Option in the form AN [1.22] " I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013" The confu...
Hi, From the looks of it, it would be Applicants details in the Family section because you (sponsor) have got a separate section for your details. Your permanent address is where you live permanently and that is in the UK so you should enter your UK address where your wife will live with you once sh...
Hi Es, Thanks for the nice words. As per guidance, she only needs to submit the sponsor's bank statements and salary slips (unless you guys are relying your case on her earnings - think that's not the case) If she's solely relying on your earnings and you are claiming that she will be totally depend...
Hi Es, I ended up filling 'Other Relative'. I also phoned UKBA to seek guidance and they also confirmed that this was the most closest and correct option to select. There is a free text description section on the form, I used that space to explain that I couldn't find a better option than 'other rel...
Hi haze77, What did you select in the Sponsor Details section when it asks 'What is their relationship to you'? I'm on ILR in the UK and my wife is going to apply for a spousal/dependant visa from outside and needs to fill out the application form. The answer choices to above question does not list ...
Hi pmishra, What did you select in the Sponsor Details section when it asks 'What is their relationship to you?'. I'm on ILR in the UK and my wife is going to apply for a spousal/dependant visa from outside and needs to fill out the application form. The answer choices to above question does not lis...
Hi Michali, What did you select in the Sponsor Details section when it asks 'What is their relationship to you?'. I'm on ILR in the UK and my wife is going to apply for a spousal/dependant visa from outside and needs to fill out the application form. The answer choices to above question does not lis...
Thank you Amber. Can't believe it that they have designed this form without the option of wife or husband in this question which I believe would be one of the most common application selections. I was questioning my selections since I just couldn't believe it. All, If you are reading this post and y...
Hi All, I'm on ILR in the UK and wife is going to apply for spousal visa from Pakistan (Islamabad) very soon. I just read on UKBA website under Visa Processing Times that; We will process 95 per cent of settlement applications within 12 weeks and 100 per cent within 24 weeks of the application date ...
Thanks for the answer earlier, I'm already married so selecting 'wife' makes sense. Irrespective of the selection as 'wife' or 'marriage', in the further sections it asks for Sponsor Details. One of the questions in that section is 'What is their relationship to you' and there is no such options as ...
Moderators/Experts, Please can anyone in this forum help me on my query in the first post? It has to be one of the most straight forward applications ... 'wife applying for visa as a dependant of settled person'. Am I making a mistake in the selections? (please see the screenshots in my original pos...
Hi, I am really confused among the options that I'm getting on the online form while applying for the spousal/dependant visa for my wife. I'm on ILR, and my wife will be joining me under the 'Family of Settled person' I guess. The first section in the online form asks for three things; Reason for vi...
