Hi, I had submitted AN1 application in November 2018 but I've not received any communication yet. I am going to be travelling outside the UK from 1st Feb to 4th March. Assuming my application is approved and approval letter is delivered during the time I was outside the UK, would I be able re-enter ...

Hi everyone, I hope somebody can help. I will be eligible to apply for naturalisation next month after 1year ILR. I am having difficulty with the AN form, worried as well. 1. On the employment history question, do I include employment whilst on student visa? I was allowed to work 10 hrs a week as s...

Hi Tozlo2001 I made an application on 26-july-2017 And it has been nearly ...⏳17 Months that I'm waiting and Still No signs of Approval I don't know what the delay is 😊 Even HO ask you to contact them should you don't hear anything 6 months after application submission. What are you waiting for mate?

Quick note on my experience. Submitted online application on 06/11/2018 and appointment with local council following day. The lady who validated my documents told me that application may take up to 6 months during this time do not contact UKVI. If passport fees is deducted that means your naturalisa...

@gag285 Thanks for your reply. Yes indeed I'll be travelling back home with baby's visa so that she could travel back to the UK with us. Yes, non-British passport is for the country she is travelling to.

Hi all, Apologies if this has already been answered but I couldn't find any relevant post in the forum. We are currently staying in the UK on a Tier-2 General visa which is valid until 2018. My wife and our 3 months old baby have to travel to their home country urgently. Baby has got the non-British...

Unfortunately administrative review is no longer an option for visit visa applications. The UKVI seems to be really restrictive is issuing visa these days. My parents visa was rejected on the following objection. "I know you have attached your property documents along with the valuation documen...

My parents visa were rejected on the same grounds that no enough ties with home country. However I attached the property ownership documents, worth about £100,000, their children information living at the same address and all the rest of it. Unfortunately visa applications were turned down stating t...

@noajthan Thanks for your reply. So, do you think that the documents I mentioned above are sufficient enough to demonstrate strong ties with home country?

Thanks @wanderer for your reply. I'm not quite sure on that tbh but that would be a good addition i think. I'll ask her to get that sorted if she can.

Hi all, My mother-in law is going to apply UK visit visa from Pakistan for three weeks. She is going to attach following documents with her application. Please could you review it and comment if you think it needs changing. - NOC from current employer - Govt. school - 3 months bank statement + paysl...

Unfortunately they do not believe what we put down in the application form or covering letter until it is backed by the documentary evidence. Looks like you have mentioned quite a few sources of income for your mother including financial support from partner but didn't provide documentary evidences....

Thanks @Obei. Sure, I'll read up on that.

@Obie I am inclined to agree with you that if my mother travel alone then ECO cannot (or should not) object that she does not have any social ties with home country. She indeed has no intention to leave behind her family for good only to live with me here in the UK. And this is not the first time sh...

Yes I stated that I send money back home but never said that they are dependant on me. I also attached documentary evidence that they receive monthly rental income from the property and that my elder brother also contribute in the living expenses as they all live in the same property. I was thinking...

Thanks for elaborating it. Just because I am applying on behalf of her so I thought I am the one who need to explain it. Parents own the property the live in, a portion of the property also yields a monthly income of PKR13,000. In previous application, I attached the owner documents of properties wi...

You writing anything is completely irrelevant to the application. The "applicant" must provide evidence of strong ties to country of residence to convince the ECO that, on balance of probabilities, the applicant will return to the country of residence. Please could you elaborate how is it...

Hi all, My parents' visit visa refused earlier this month because ECO was not satisfied with my dad's financial circumstances in Pakistan. I am planning on applying my mom's visa this time as my dad is no longer willing to apply visa again. Can I mention following in the covering letter: - Circumsta...

I am inclined to agree. It is just about the luck.

After some research I found that it will help if we keep a valuation of the property. So we have decided to contact a licensed valuator to value the property. This will give the ECO an idea about the worth of the immovable assets Exactly that's what I was told when I was preparing to apply for the ...
