Thanks, and thank you all for all the answers and advice.

I received an email today from home.office.atlas@notifications.service.gov.uk


It says application successful, but no letter attached to advise on what to do next or if I can apply for ILR in 2.5years time. Is this the standard response the HO sends out ?

Thanks a lot!

I have uploaded documents online, now there’s no option to submit in the Ukvcas. Will this be done at my biometric appointment or I’m I missing something?

Thank you

Hi, I’m going through the checklist now. Can I please clarify: 1. I have 3 different sources of statements. 2 are utility and 1 is joint bank statements in both our names. As I will be using the bank statement for financial evidence - showing wages going in, can I still use this as part of the addre...

Hi, Just seeking some clarification. I’m aware a passport is required when applying for leave to remain, what I’m not clear on is; does it have to have x amount of months validity? As previously mentioned in one of my previous posts, my passport will have about a month by the time I’m planning to ma...

Slightly off topic. I think there should be a PayPal button to make donations to this site and some of the helpful members. Sorry if that comes across rude, I am very grateful for the information on here and think there should be an opportunity for those that wish to show appreciation to individuals...

Hi, Thanks for the invaluable information. I am starting to get documents together in preparation for my upcoming application. I have contacted my one of my utility providers to request paper copies of my statements, but they have refused to send them, instead they said as my account is online billi...

Thanks a lot!

Thanks very much! That’s really helpful. I guess the date I submit the online application is considered my application date - in which case there would be no rush to book a biometric appointment? Honest opinion, would you consider using a solicitor? I used one last time, but nothing has changed in m...

Can I please ask a silly question?

I believe the NHS surcharge is still in place, if so how much roughly would this be for second leg of 5year spouse visa?

Also how much is the visa fee now for attendance and postal options?

Many thanks

Thanks all. @meself2 - I thought about that initially but didn’t want to derail the other topic. I will bear that in mind for future posts. I will book the test well in advance this time. My only concern tho is that I did not submit an A1 test on last application- due to impact of Covid on slot avai...

Looking in the UKVI website, it looks like I will need the A2 test rather than A1 in order to renew BRP under 5yr route. 1. Could someone kindly confirm if I’m correct 2. How far ahead can I take the test. I believe it used to be within a month, not sure if this is still correct? I am a bit paranoid...

Thanks very much!

Hi all, Thanks in advance for your contribution and advice. Background Granted 2.5yr visa under (10yr) family life after winning a very long court battle and appeal process. In 2017, solicitor advised I apply under 5yr partner route instead of renewing the 10yr family route - as I met the income req...

Hi all, Just had visa approved after about 6 months of waiting. I came across a content in gov website about refunds for the IHS surcharge (if you work in health sector) I seem to meet the criteria with regards to my working hours and the sector I work in however no information on my visa category. ...

Submit Flrm in April 2020, didn’t get biometric appointment till first week in September 2020. Still no decision. My employer has been extending my contract in a monthly basis & I’m under pressure to produce right to work soon as possible. Also, I was due to start Open uni but couldn’t enrol. OU...

Sorry to be a pain guys. I have finally submitted and awaiting further information from UKVCAS re: booking an appointment. As it stands, I have all my documents ready but a little paranoid that I may or might not have enough. The ukvi checklist says: “ You must provide at least 6 items of correspond...

Hi guys, I’ve submitted online application. Can’t book a UKVICAS appointment due to Covid-19. I received a payment confirmation email but my worry is in a few days I could be stoped from working if I don’t have Acknowledgment letter stating I have an application in progress. I’m guessing I’m not the...

The scanning and uploading will be done through the UKVCAS system, which you will be prompted to setup an account for after submitting the application. It's a completely separate process on a separate website.

Brilliant! Thank you.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Pardon my naïvety! Is this done as one single process or do I pay and submit. Then upload the documents separately? I’m Asking because I plan to make the online application tomorrow but haven’t scanned my documents yet. I want to know I can go ahead and apply then scan ...

Haa anyone here used the online visa application form.

Do you have to upload supporting documents as part of the application or is this done separately at UKVCAS appointment centre?

Kind regards

Hi guys,

Sorry to resurrect this thread. I’m completing the online form to work out payment.

I’m on 10yr partner route. I’m guessing I’ll have to select FLR or will it be FLRM ?

Many
Thanks

Thanks guys!
