Re: VFS Global biometric appointment "something went wrong" error message

Hi Apparently the error was related to lack of availability of appointments, as soon as the appointments became available the error disappeared. Try selecting different centres, you may find that where there is availability it will work. Keep trying for a few days, it will eventually work. If still ...

Re: UK visitor visa for parent and their passport validity

If you have BC, should it not be Family Visitor Visa that you need to apply rather than General Visitor?

FireballXL5, the letter just says 'within 21 days of the date of this letter' so I assume calendar days

I think you have got a strong case here, assuming this is the only thing they refused it for. And the effort you have done to obtain evidences to substantiate your claim are none but reasonable and practical. Just keep in mind that the approach you need to take is not to prove them wrong and hold th...

Re: application fees confusion!!

I agree with cs95tdg, irrespective of the fact that you have BRP or have given biometrics in the past, one needs to give biometrics again if the HO receive your application on or after 6th April 2015. I phoned HO to confirm this. The fee will be £19.20, the guy mentioned over the phone.

Re: New AN Nationality application form up date

I am referring to the LITUK test that I passed before 28th Oct 2013, that I believe covered both Language and Life requirements. Hence, when I applied for ILR (after this date) it was granted without any English language test.

Great! Quick question, since your ILR was done after 28th October 2014 .., did you tick that box in the Life in the UK and Language section that says "I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013"? Just trying to be sure, as I...
