Re: UKVI Account

I received the invitation today and was able to create an IDCheck - UKVI account, all good.

Does anyone know how to change the picture? I see that it has some shades on my head, and I would like to apply for driver's license.

Re: Spouse visa to ILR

Hi We read in the past the asking the APP is only for people who use regular services, not any priority or anything. We also read that UKVI officer will not see your application until you go for the biometric. So how can she manage the two issues above? She is planning to use the super priority (if ...

You were not targeted. Appears to be the laid down entry checks so changing centers may not eliminate the likelihood of repeat. Due to those who used deception to get British citizenship.

after a couple of failed delivery, TNT advised to pick it from the deport, which is a better choice for me. However, they advised to come tomorrow between 5 and 7 PM. Does anyone know if I can pick it up today instead? Will that be OK, off course they said NO on the phone the earliest is tomorrow. T...

Re: Extending While Traveling

I attended the bio this morning at 9, still waiting. SPV

Just wondering, do they actually call the bank or council to check on us? I know they have the right and I know I gave them consent, but do they actually call to verify?
