now you simply either take along photo copies of all your documents and scan them at vfs or indeed do it yourself at home. My only concern is how can these documents be verified as being authentic if nobody gets to see the original? Copies are fine. If there are doubts about whether a document is g...

or we can wait until her current leave expires. Regards

And it's probably best not to wait until her current leave expires. It will be better to apply before it expires.

We're wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation - married but not cohabiting - and what evidence did you supply with your application / how did you approach it? Any tips would be gratefully received. Thank you! :) Since you are married, you don’t have to meet the cohabitation requirement....

Relationship evidence includes photos (these are SUPER important, and if you can make an album, even better), chat/phone records (WhatsApp, Facebook, etc), wedding invitation if you have one,

Not for FLR(M).

Were the cash payments deposited into your bank account?

You may not be able to rely on them otherwise.

Does the letter not offer you to pay IHS for flr fp?

They may paid IHS for the application that was refused.

You may apply 28 days before completing 30 months using Super Priority service, and ask for up to 28 days to be added.

I agree that for the Super Priority service, an early biometrics appointment would be useful otherwise it's a bit of a waste.

Under 'Evidence of Financial Requirements under Appendix FM', Appendix FM-SE states (emphasis mine ): [Quote] 1. In relation to evidencing the financial requirements in Appendix FM the following general provisions shall apply: (a) Bank statements must : (i) be from a financial institution regulated ...

Thanks Jaune08 for your reply, The issue is I do not remember having this sort of question when we did apply 3 years ago. I simply intentionally wrote about this child in the cover letter and that’s it. This time around the application specifically asking if there is “any child you partner have tha...

I'm an English national

You probably mean a UK national.

My last 12 months payslips look like this:

December 2019 1337.50 + Overtime 164.62
November 2019 1337.50 + Overtime 176.37
October 2019 1337.50 + Overtime 176.37

You probably mean 2018.

when is the earliest she could step foot in the UK?

Can she enter the UK as soon as her visa is approved?

How does it work?

If granted, they can enter from the "Valid from" date on the visa.

But for visa purposes in paye employment UKVI only considers that amount which is before any kind of deductions . Not really. I'm aware of a case where the applicant meets the financial requirements using their gross income but HO deemed them not to have met it. HO deducted their pension contributi...

It is the Common Travel Area really. 34J & 34K of the immigration rules state: [Quote] The proof of identity provided under paragraph 34(5) will be returned to the applicant whilst their application is being considered, unless the Secretary of State considers it necessary to retain it.

It is better for the supporting documents to be submitted in one go rather than in batches.

my son was was born in UK before the parents getting theirs ILR.

What you're being advised is that you could have registered your UK-born son as a British citizen anytime after you got ILR and before the age of 18.

want to ask what date they consider application date....

want to know what date is application date..

The date you submit the application online and pay the visa fees.

There may need to be some clarification or reconciliation with the actual requirements of the immigration rules as HO tends to use the taxable pay for the purposes of meeting the financial requirements (pay after pension deductions where a person pays pension contributions). Some sort of official cl...

old surname became middle name and family name was added as surname.

Who does the old surname belong to?

Does she bear any of your names at all?

Applying for my wife's spouse visa extension next week.

If you submitted on 29 August, then you've already applied.

Have you quoted the email you received in full? Does any part of the email asks to ignore if the documents have already been sent?

It might be an automated/standard template email.

I am applying for the extension of my wife

It's likely not your wife you want to extend.

What is the visa your wife has got that needs extending?

A scanned copy of the data page of your passport should suffice.

Thanks Seagul, makes sense and will plan to apply by post during the last 28 days of expiry. In person seems to be expensive - extra £800!

You will have to apply online, no longer by post.

There is no longer an "In person" application. The £800 is for the 'Super Priority' service.
