Your surname doesn't match your child's? Good luck at border control.

My wife has my daughter's birth certificate which highlights both of our names. She also has a a copy of my passport. Also on my daughter's passport, it includes my wife's surname.

Hi All, My wife and daughter's settlement visa got approved recently and will be travelling to the UK next week. I won't be travelling with them. Since their surnames are different, would this cause any problems? My daughter has my surname, wife kept her pre-marriage surname. Any help would be highl...

Yes good question... Once they send you an email for IHS for child, chances are the application will be approved. Yes I did, forgot to mention it. I paid the (IHS) Immigration Health surcharge in 04/05/2018 Friday at 3:25 pm. It was $858 USD Ok that's great! In that case, I wouldn't worry too much ...

Hi All,

Anyone who's recently gotten their settlement visas and traveled to the UK, any advice or tips on what the immigration officer will ask upon arrival?

Thanks again.

Yes, I got all the documents back on June 27th. Funny as they returned everything including photocopies I made for them.. I was in the assumption that a decision would be made soon after they sent it back but I guess not. Yh it is such a stressfull period being away from loved ones and the system d...

Hi sabrina, Don't worry too much.. we didn't get any updates for awhile also and only just two days before the 60 BD was finished is when the decision was made so dont give up. Give it a few more days and just before 60 BD, try and follow up, you might get an update then. Is your priority or just s...

Hi Kraza, So sorry to hear about the refusal, are you able to appeal against the decision since you have included appendix 2 with the application? Also can you provide us with a timeline of your application for reference? I also applied for settlement visas for wife and child in May and would like ...
