Yes the date on her BRP

Best outcome. Don’t withdraw if visa is approved and she can come for even one day her 5 year clock starts running plus you don’t lose the application fee. Even if she can’t come now you can just apply for a new 30 day visa on passport later when she is ready to travel rather than withdraw the appli...

Thank you. I can confirm I was able to go in and also that they didn’t really say anything about time so I was able to get in at 9am rather than my free appointment time at 10am. It was really busy then though as I guess a lot of people booked early morning paid appointments and It took almost a ful...

Thank you. Last two questions. So my wife is the applicant and our appointment is at the Croydon core service centre (free appointment at 10am). 1. Can I go the appointment with my wife and will I be allowed inside? 2. Can we go there early for eg. get there by 9am to try and see if they let us earl...

SPONSORS/EMPLOYMENT Husband's employer letter Husband's P60 for last year Husband's payslips for July to December 2019 Dont attach P60. Add more payslips because your latest payslip dated in December 2019 would be heavily older than 28 days. Also attach the corresponding bank statements of similar ...

Thank you. Can some of the experienced members please review the documents I have uploaded (list below in categories) for my wife's application. Biometric appointment on 20 February 2020, application date 23 January 2019 Wife entry date to UK 30 July 2017 Wife BRP expiry date 13 April 2020 Will be g...

bump - anyone?

Uploading seems to very easy and straight forward youself..

Quick question - for passports of my wife (applicant) and mine - do we really need to scan each and every page even if blank? Can someone point to any official guidance in addition to any personal or seen experiences?

Thank you, I actually applied today so its 23 Jan to avoid any confusion for caseworker. I managed to get a free appointment for 20 February which is fine as my wife's visa isn't expiring until 11 April in any case. Just wanted to check if there is any benefit of using the Document Scanning Service ...

Thank you very much. One final question please, I was paid my last salary on 27 December 2019 and payslip is from the same date. If I pay the fees tomorrow i.e. 24 January 2020, will this be within the 28 days or do I have to pay today so that application date is 23 January 2020 to be within the 28 ...

Thank you. I will add a few more letters individually to both of us. Can I please confirm what counts as the "application date". If I make the IHS payment today but don't pay the application fee payment until later, just want to confirm that the application fee payment day is the date of a...

PS: in case useful: thinking of applying mid-February 2020. Wife entered the UK on 31 July so it will be more than 30 months since that (her visa expires mid-April 2020).

Thanks.. will your or any other senior board members please confirm if the below will meet the documentation requirements for cohabitation? 20-Mar-18 Council tax bill in both our names Aug-18 Joint bank statement from NatWest in both our names 20-Mar-19 Council tax bill in both our names Jul-19 Join...

4. Does driving licence classify as proof of cohabitation? Assume if it does then its only the start date of licence that counts

Need some help please: 1. Where joint bank statements are used as proof of cohabitation - do they need to have many transactions in them. My salary etc comes in my personal account (which we will use as evidence for the financial requirement) which is separate. The joint account just has a balance a...

Hi

Asking for a friend - who should the employer letter which is used in spouse visa application (first time for entry) be addressed to? If someone can please say the full address.

Thank you

Is there a link in visa rules which says the red route must be used. Just checking as a friend has the two statements for his wife under blue route and I had used the same a couple of years ago. Would like to know precise rules which says red route must be used or is it simply a money making exercis...

Not for UK visa but you need it for applying for free Schengen visa after (as the spouse of an EU national)

Was the savings account "instant access" or a deposit for a period of time.. you can get instant access savings account these days as well

you don't need to wait 6 months after starting new job -- you can apply under category B after having just one payslip as long as you meet the conditions (i.e. new job pays above the requirement and b) you earned more than the required amount in the previous 12 months)

Answer will be better to wait until 6 months in employment with present employer. Agree with better as more normal under category A but it does look like to me that the rules do allow for applying after fewer months using fewer payslips (than 6) if the criteria are met: (a) having employment at dat...

Even if you look at Appendix FM-SE -- it does not say 6 payslips is mandaotry if you have only been employed for under 6 months.. "2. In respect of salaried employment in the UK (except where paragraph 9 applies1), all of the following evidence must be provided: (a) Payslips covering: (i) a per...
