Re: GTV endorsement status for extension

The only way to know this is by contacting the endorsing body, but they should have informed you about any withdrawal. If you're still working in the role that you were endorsed for and you haven't received any communication in this regard, I think it's safe to assume that the endorsement is still v...

Re: Is there a queue/order for decisions?

But, based on the timelines I was kinda hoping we'd be in the batch last week. It's understandable to be impatient when waiting for a response from an application, but according to the timeline you posted on the dedicated post, you're still within the average time for others to receive a response. ...

As advised above, you can fill a formal complain to the council. There is nothing else you can do at this stage.

Re: British Citizenship ceremony photography

Every council is different, but usually people are allowed to take photographs after the ceremony. There might be others that don't.

The photos taken by the photographer are optional, there is no obligation to buy their photos.

Re: Visitor visa after completion of 10 year ban

The refusal letter indicates that you basically didn't provide any financial or family evidence to demonstrate your ties outside the UK. Was it a mistake?

Who submitted this application? yourself or your family in the UK?

Re: BRP replacement this year

From a previous post, it seems you already travelled abroad with an expired BRP and had no issues when boarding a flight back to the UK. As Canadian citizens are non-visa nationals, they shouldn't face issues to travel to the UK. The advice from UKVI about carrying a physical valid BRP when travel i...

Re: Mistake in skilled worker visa application

That shouldn't be an issue, wait for the response from UKVI.

Unsure how you forgot to submit the application when you have to do biometrics after submission. The application will not be processed until you provide that information.

Re: How will an e-visa be validated when traveling back to the UK?

This question doesn't have a simple response. I'd think there are many factors that can prevent someone to show a valid status when travelling. From a UKVI perspective, we only can expect them to provide everyone - with a BRP - access to an eVisa from 1st January 2025. I agree with @secret.simon. If...

No impact, the employer is ok with a late start.

Just ensure to carry the new BRP card relevant to the new visa, and not the old (invalid) one.

That shouldn't be an issue, the decision would still be made in accordance with the application timeframes given. The dates we provide during the application are somehow indicative, it doesn't mean that the applicant must travel on those dates only, UKVI shouldn't reject if the date has passed. Once...

Re: evisa status after Citizenship Approval & British Passport

I think this query is confusing or mixing things out. Once you are a British citizen/have a British passport your ILR status is no longer valid, you're a UK citizen now. Hence the eVisa stuff becomes irrelevant too. Using the CHN or British passport to enter/exit China is a different thing and very ...
