Hi Sabin I am in a similar situation. I am not clear about the fact that if this residence cards needs to be obtained or not. I am an Indian who joined my husband in the UK. He is an EEA national with a permanent residence card. Did you get any response on the same? Please let me know. Thank you Bes...

@Kurasinski-Simran: It will be a 6 months` visa. After that, once in the UK, you should apply for a residence card to make your life easier. But it is another pain.))

Hi NatCam

Thank you for the info. Yes I have heard the RC is also a long process :/

Cheers

Hi Simran, Nothing positive as yet. Just apologies from them and they are working on it for the past 01 mnth. Wondering what’s goin on. Our families are at their mercy. Yest was 7 months. The last reply I received after escalation was that they are sympathetic to my case and are trying their best t...

Hello everybody, To those who already got a decision, at any point, did you check your application on the visa4uk website ? If so, did it change to "In Active" at any point before the decision ? The status of my wife's application went from "Complete" to "In Active" (7...

Simran & all, Pls do not get mixed up. Visa4uk is where u sent your application from. So obviously it will get inactive so that u do not resend the application or rather for re apply. Its a closed chapter once you get the reference no. This has got nothing to do with the application already rec...

Yes Simran Apparently we are just counting which actually has no relevance to the order in which the Permits are issued. Living in hope . We have no choice it’s seems more like a lottery I guess hahahaha. But have to deal with it as there is no turning back now. Hahaha well the term lottery seems f...

Hi All,

Im from New Delhi, India - Applied on 9th May 2017 - still awaiting a decision. Anyone in the same situation from the same city? Does escalation really help? I have requested for one today. How long does it take for them to respond?

Thanks
