Hi all My mother's visitor visa appointment is tomorrow and when I am preparing to upload the documents to the vfs site, I cannot see the upload document option at all. All I see are Appointment Details, Applicant Details and Buy Services. There will be a upload documents option which I used to uplo...

Thank you very much Ticktack.

Hello all My mother was granted with a visitor visa from 6th May 2023 till 6th Nov 2023. She entered UK on 15th May and went back on 21st June 2023. Now I am planning to apply for new visitor visa to bring her to UK in the month of July. Is there any duration that she has to wait before applying for...

OK. Thanks I have booked in an appointment for july. If by any chance, I see a slot coming up due to cancellation, can I still book the earliest one and send a email for cancelling the appointment which is late that I no longer need? It appears there is no validation in the system that checks if the...

Hi From your post, I understand that you have created the application as Tatkal but ended up booking a non-tatkal appointment, am I right? Were there any issues with this? I am in the same situation of having created a tatkal application. But in the schedule appointment page when u select non-tatkal...

Dear all, Is there any chance they open some slots in the next few weeks which are already RED? I mean in case there is a cancellation for that date by someone? I understand the cancellations are now happening only by email, so is there a chance when they process the cancellation on a date, they ope...

Dear Friends Is there any thread on the procedures about Indian Passport renewal in UK? Is there a Tatkal process and if yes, how easy it is to get the appointment? And what is the timeline of getting the new passport currently? It would be of great help, if you could help me with this, If these que...

Hi

Someone please answer.

Dear admins
Can you please respond to my queries..

Dear all, I am already on ILR and my wife(PBS Dependent) is going for ILR now as the main applicant. I am an IT contractor being the director of my limited company and my wife is a share holder as well as an employee since last year. We both are drawing a salary of 680 pounds each every month and ta...

Her continuous leave may be broken after she spent more than six months per 12 consecutive months cycle outside the UK.

Are you sure they continuous leave is broken for the PBS dependant here?
I read here that the 6 month rule does not apply for dependants. Is that not true?

Hi casa, I have a similar situation. I am on ILR since Apr 2015 and my wife who entered in Nov 2012 will be completing her 5 year period in Nov 2017(she has visa till apr 2018 though). But the problem is she had been out of country for 8 months and is back here since may 2017. I am worried that she ...

Hi again.

"Absences should be limited and for good reason. You will probably need proof of subsisting relationship during absence periods."

What kind of proof do I need to present for this?

iworker wrote: Where the rules say main applicant cant be over 180 days outside, it doesnt say anything about PBS dependent, hence the interpretation.

What if the PBS dependant is going for the ILR seperately? In that case, she will be the main applicant right?

Thank you for the quick response.
All my friends said otherwise and hence the confusion.
Is there any document where I can see this in words?

Hi I am on ILR since April 2015 and my wife entered UK in Nov 2012 and got her PBS Tier1 dependant extension in April 2015 valid until April 2018 at which time she will be completing her 5 years in UK and will be eligible for ILR. Now my wife is in India for a few months and I would like to know if ...

Hi, My OCI status has changed saying it has been processed and sent to LONDON. Now I need to take a print out of this along with the british passport and submit it at the London Honslow office. Any idea about the times of the day when I can go and submit these. As in, can I go after 4pm in the eveni...

Anymore update on this? For minors when we submit, they never ask you whether the original applicant is in the country or not. They just accept the application without any problems. So I assume while submitting the british passport too they would only check the online status printout and accept the ...

i will wait until tomorrow to see the status change otherwise, i am thinking of the entry visa route... which can be applied for a year... see this thread: http://www.immigrationboards.com/other-countries/india-entry-or-x-visa-successful-t196500.html it is 1 year old though.. anybody hav any idea if...

this is insane waiting without knowing what is happening out there.. especially when the applications sent 5 days after mine were processed, there do not seem to be a order in which they process...

it is more worrying because i have got my tickets books for 13th of Sep

Also wondering if they change the status only around the working hours in India or as well in UK working hours also?

Hi I have one that is dated 20th July for acknowledgement and under-process status.... Hopefully mine will change next week and urs next week or week after... I check online as i have ended up with emails & text for other peoples application and none of mine. No appointment needed for handing i...

The OCI status enquiry page does not load up and throws error: Invalid Input. Please go back and try again.

This has been the state for the past two days..

Is there any other way we can check the status?
