Thank you for your replies. My dad went back to ask this question and they said as he has uploaded documents by himself, there is no need to upload/submit the checklist.

My dad attended his biometric appointment at VSF Islamabad, Pakistan today. They did not take his document checklist, it says in that document that you need to sign it during your appointment date. They did not take that document from him. Is this normal or VSF forgot to take that document? Also, th...

It looks like the fees paid for a biometric appointment may not get refunded, so do you think cover letter and adding in the printed page of the application will be enough and we won't be penalised? That should be fine. You can attach that to the other documents to be submitted as I earlier stated....

What shall I do now as I have already submitted the application? Shall I just clarify this in the cover letter or maybe print that page of the application and write with a pen? If you've already submitted the application and biometrics has been done, the chances that cover letter is seen is almost ...

My viewpoint was that it was granted after the appeal, meaning the refusal was overturned. So basically the final decision/outcome of that application was that a visa was granted. Therefore, I have mentioned "No" for that question. In any case, what shall I do? Shall I write and explain i...

The fact that a refusal was overturned doesn’t negate the fact that there was a refusal.

Many thanks for your replies. Another question, my dad last visit visa in 2013 was refused initially but then we won the appeal and the visa was granted. I believe this will not be considered as visa refused no, it is still visa refused as it was granted later on. Am I correct in saying this? There...

Another question (sorry!), what if I dont include/submit his bank statements and just mention that he will spend 200-300 pounds on this trip? and I submit my bank statements along with mentioning that I will support everything. Will it have a negative impact if I don't submit his bank statements? t...

State in your letter of invitation that you're fully sponsoring your dad's visa application. Also state that you're fully employed by X and your spouse is fully employed by Y. Don't leave the amount planning to spend blank, add like £50 -£100. I'm sure he can afford that. Documents look OK, and pre...

Hello, I am planning to apply for my dad's visa.

Things and circumstances h...
