Many thanks ticktack, Amazonianx.

That puts my mind to rest..was concerned if the application was completed fine and all steps from my side are done. Hopefully, we'll get a positive decision soon.

Hi experts, Please can someone comment on my query. We are still waiting for a decision since September, when we attended the biometrics appointment. When I log back into my application, I still see the "Further Actions to complete" screen, although I've done all of that - Downloading cons...

Hi experts, Just needed some guidance on how to contact UKVI for an update. Please see below timeline for first extension applied for spouse and 2 children. Application Type: FLR(M) Extension (Standard) Application Submitted on : 09/08/2022 Biometric appointment: 03/09/2022 (free appointment) Applic...

Hi all,

Quick question.

Do we need to upload all documents for dependents as well, on the same application? Sponsor, Accomodation, Relationship and Finance documents.

Thank you AmazonianX. Ha ha, I know it sounds weird. Was playing with the idea that I could book abiometric appointment to time with my next bank statement on 22nd Aug 2022. Anyways, just overthinking here I guess. HO's tyrancy in the past means we are all just paranoid about the whole process. Than...

Thank you TickTack. That's reassuring. I am just thinking it might be better to not mention it specifically, as you said most banking is now online anyway. Any idea how much time do we have for document upload. I read somewhere up until biometric appointment, but do we know how many hours\days prior...

Hello experts, Many thanks firstly, for all the support you have given me and all the other members on this forum. My wife has now completed 2.5 year on her Spouse Visa (route to 5yr settlement) and we are applying for the 2.5 yr extension. I have all documents required and meet the financial requir...

Thanks for your reply. I don't have a UK credit card either with such a high limit. Also, don't have the amount in UK bank due to a personal situation.

Hi All, Desperately need your help with my application. I have to pay for 3 applications from India and I don't have any debit or credit cards that have such a high limit (Almost 450K INR for Visa fee and 320K for IHS fee). Paypal/ Skrill do not allow adding funds to wallet from Indian bank account....

Hello experts,

Any advice? I am getting close to submission.

Thanks for merging the topics. For some reason, I could not find my original thread.

Any advice on my follow up questions please?

Dear all, I am close to completing the settlement application for my wife and two kids. I am a British Citizen and using the self employed route (Director - Category F). I have filled the application form on the new UKVCAS portal and now completing the VAf4A - Appendix 2. I would be really grateful ...

Many thanks CR0001 Getting marriage certs and birth certs re-issued from the authorities will be a nightmare. Do we know of anyone having success with laminated documents submitted? 6. Also, the sponsorship form (SU07) - do I need to submit 3 copies of this form too? 7. And for accommodation require...

Hi All, I am a British Citizen and I am planning to apply for settlement visas for my wife and two kids. I have prepared the documentation to the best of my knowledge but have some queries as below. 1. I understand, I have to complete three application forms, but what about appendix? Do I need to co...

Hi All, I am getting closer to making our application. Any comments on the following would be very much appreciated. "Financial Evidence Is gross income calculated for the company's financial year (June '17- Jun '18 in my case), or is it the self assessment tax year (June '17 - Apr'18). Fortuna...

Thank you for your comments Londoner007. I was not away from the family for all 8 years, only the last 15 months or so - waiting for my company's financial year to end. I will include pics and WhatsApp logs. Also, i visited them thrice so will share air tickets etc. I didn't realize we could not sub...

Hello All, I am a British naturalized citizen and finally I am in a position to file my family's settlement visa. I will be filing for 3 dependents. Wife and two sons, 6 years old. As you can imagine, it's a lot of money for us with the IHS fee etc, and we are super stressed about getting everything...

Hi All,

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi All, I am in the middle of a contract and I have invoices for the last three months. However, as most of you know UKVI need the full years CT return and paperwork as financial evidence for self employed sponsors. I just came across the link below and I was hoping this new ruling might help self e...

Thanks for the input. However, I found the following text in the Appendix. 5.4. Category B: Less than 6 months with current employer or variable income – overseas sponsor returning to the UK 5.4.1. Where the applicant’s partner is returning with the applicant to the UK to work, they do not have to b...

I was just looking at the Appendix, and a fixed term contract seems to be an accepted offer. 5.5.1. Employment can be full-time or part-time. 5.5.2. Employment can be permanent, a fixed-term contract or with an agency. With the twelve months payslips from my overseas employer, and a fixed term contr...

Agreed. However, I do not have a permanent offer. So, if I start via an umbrella and show payslips for first couple of months with overseas income for 12 months, would that be fine? It is frustrating that even when people meet the financial requirements, there is so much hindrance just by way of pap...

OK. It's really disappointing that a contract job that pays good money is not considered an offer of employment. My agent is ready to offer a six month contract, if that helps. Or would that not be enough. In which case, I am back to my original query. Is umbrella company considered permanent employ...

It is indeed a short term contract, only for 3 months. I think I can apply on Category A, overseas income. I could get an employment offer from one of my friends, who runs a ltd company for last 5 yrs. Would this work ? Is there any rule that I have to join the same company, the offer which I eviden...

Hi All,

Any guidance would be truly helpful.

Thanks.
