Dear all, Thank you all for your help during the visa process. I would not have been able to apply without your help. The spouse visa (husband) is refused and the reasons are as follows: You have failed to provide 6 months payslips. We did send 6 months payslips covering from 1st of September 2017 t...

Thank you very much londoner007. I'll update you as soon as we hear anything from them.

My cousin and her employer received a phone call today only 5 days after submitting the documents. Everything went fine apart from her manager giving incorrect qualifications of her. He said she has degree whereas she’s only NVQ. He says he couldn’t remember. Is that going to be a problem? Anyone wi...

Do you need to post from Pakistan to Sheffield or the sponsor post from the UK?

I believe you can do either. We're posting from UK. I believe they only return the documents to the UK address.

Current and previous passports No need for ID card Application and appointment printout Payment receipts with IHS reference number email. You'll have to mark priority on package being sent to Sheffield also include priority payment receipt on top of documents bundle. Thank you metanioa. Passport su...

Thank you guys. Just to confirm the applicant needs to take the Passport, PAK ID Card, Application printout and appointment confirmation? Does one need to take receipts printouts and anything else as well? Thanks.

Thank you for quick reply. I have googled it and this comes up:

Just Paid the priority fees.
Any idea how to add this to the form??

The amounts deducted are £1480.08 and £629.86 IHS. We thought it was £1464 and £600 for IHS?

Thank you so much seagul. Just paid the IHS and visa fees. The system quoted the fees in Pakistani Rupees and the UK card was used to pay the fees. Is that Normal? Also didn't give an option to apply as priority application so had to pay standard fees and the online printed form shows SUBMISSION MET...

Hi guys,
Anyone please with answer to any of the questions above. Thanks.

You can add GWF if you want but there is no need as it is part of your application and will go together in the bundle anyway.

Thank you very much. I appreciate your responses.

Thanks again Londoner007. Yes we'll do that.
VAF4A Appendix 2 form doesn't ask for applicant's name. Do we write the online application number GWF.... somewhere here?

That's interesting. We have been informed the sooner you apply the less documents you need to provide.

Thank you for the superquick response. I am very grateful to you.

She (the sponsor) has two jobs. One only started a month ago. She meets the £18600 with the other job which she's been doing for over 8 months now. Does she need to send the employment contract and employer's letter from the second job as well even though she's not relying on it to meet the financia...

Londoner007 - Thank you so much for quick reply. Didn't know the'd accept scanned versions. They should accept without signature then because scanned version is not original. Not very clear.

Hi all, I have been reading on the forum for past few weeks to get information regarding spouse visa as my cousin who is applying to sponsor her husband from Pakistan. My main query is that the order of the application steps to be followed. As I understand the process goes like the following. Steps:...

The application fee will be refunded in full. I think you are looking to get the extra £500 paid for the premium fee but it's not possible as far as I know. You can only get a full refund and apply via post.You can pay the IHS fee again. Use the new reference on the postal application. Like Obie sai...

Use the link to pay for NHS charges called 'immigration health surcharge (IHS)'. You'll be given a reference number which you can put in your application.

1) Error . 2) Probably no . 3) Apply for FLR(M) shortly before expiry of leave. Suggest between Sunday, 14 August 2016 and 7 October 2016. You should be granted FLR(M) for a period of 30 months from the date of the decision. You may apply for SET(M) no sooner than 28 days prior to 5th anniversary o...

Congratulations. These applications are treated differently than normal postal applications. Remember you are sending the extra documents requested to the Premium centre itself (Solihull in your case) rather than to the Home Office (Durham) where postal applications are posted to. You therefore are ...

Please note it MUST be within the same financial year for sole traders. I don't understand what you mean it runs from 01 Jan to 31 Dec. Only registered companies can use their accounting years. For sole traders its simply from 06 Apr to 05 Apr of next year and there's no alternative to this I am afr...

Hi A friend of mine needs to bring her mother to Sweden as his wife is pregnant and he has 2 other little ones.
