Why did they refuse your ielts academic? What score did you get?

hey guys, we reapplied for my wife's visa on 16 Jan, we got an email from home office last week that soon we will receive another email to offer priority service (15 bus days) with further instructions, question is considering our application was refused previously, could we still use priority servi...

have you guys seen this?
Apparently, they will start offering priority service to existing applications soon, but unfortunately no date yet for new applications

Landlord (actual house owner) doesn’t live with us-his son does who technically is his dad’s tenant as well, so tenancy should be fine

so basically lodger agreement was given by landlord's son who lives in the house once/twice a month and house belongs to his dad, so I argued to get a tenancy agreement from his dad in case home office asks for house ownership docs which his son can't provide but his dad can. Basically his son is al...

so I got house ownership doc and floor plan-do you think these 2 are not needed? (managed to get tenancy agreement plus no objection letter). As the floor plan doesn't show exactly the size of rooms, but letter states rooms are double bedrooms and each is bigger than 110 sq ft. Also, both text log p...

hey guys, so my current doc list is looking like this, please shout out if I am missing anything: -Tuberculosis test results -IELTS -my ILR visa -my passport -her passport -letter from employer -7 payslips -corresponding bank statements -lodger agreement for 2 rooms -no objection letter from landlor...

one of the Terms of lodger agreement states 'the lodger shall not have exclusive possession of the room and the identity of any other occupiers of the property shall be in absolute discretion of the householder'-would this be an issue as the rules state I must have exclusive use of the rooms, wherea...

thanks for the above! I received the agreement to rent 2 double bedrooms and it is lodger agreement, not tenancy agreement as I was expecting would lodger agreement be an issue? Agreement states I rent 2 rooms for Jan 23-Dec 23, my wife is free to stay with me when she gets her visa. I will also get...

Happy new year everyone. For bank statements, my last salary payment was on 23 Dec and the bank statement I will get to cover that payment is on 22 Jan, we will reapply after the bank statement is issued (between 22-25 Jan), are we not going to fall foul of 28 day rule since the last payslip will be...

Do you guys see the resumption of priority services for new family visa applications made outside the UK happening anytime soon?

Good point, thanks
I attached like one screenshot from every month since last September until now, should i include bit more?

hey,
I am attaching separate exported txt (text) file from WhatsApp that you can download from the app which shows all chat history from the time we first met until now and not including this in separate pdf that contains photos, tickets etc

hey guys, for the subsisting relationship bit, I am attaching 2 docs-1 pdf and 1 txt file containing all our WhatsApp chats since we first met. Pdf doc contains: -how we met for first time around a year ago -explanation for why we lived separately until our wedding in summer (job and traditional rea...

I read housing report is rarely submitted (https://www.migrate.org.uk/housing-repo ... on-report/) and there is only 2 (myself and another tenant) people in 4 double bedroom house atm, 2 of which belong to us exclusively, do you think the report is still needed?

on the accommodation bit, I am planning to rent 1 more room on top of the one I have been occupying since April 2022 for extra security to not raise questions on the adequacy of the accommodation and I am providing the following as evidence: -house ownership doc/s from landlord -tenancy agreement (c...

and here is what is coming from the horse's mouth https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ ... ing-327700

digging around the forum for similar questions, I can see there is a longstanding feud between ielts academic and you guys, what is the reason for this is it if you submit the ielts academic, it confuses the ECO?

I think it is saying IELTS Life Skills at A1 – Pass or IELTS for UKVI – 4.0 in Speaking and Listening (IELTS for UKVI can be used where IELTS Life Skills is required. Test takers would need to a score of 4.0 or above in Speaking and Listening (scores for Reading and Writing will be ignored), there a...

for reference, I was looking at this
https://takeielts.britishcouncil.org/ta ... ukvi/score

ok, you mean if she has the ielts academic (4), it will not be accepted ?

she studied for ielts academic for some time, so she would take that one (from British council website, I see either ielts life skills a1 or ielts ukvi academic listening and speaking 4 is accepted for spouse visa) and take life skills a1 as well for security, whichever she passes, we will submit it

agreed, in short it was a rushed application so I think this is what is missing for reapplication -accommodation evidence -evidence of subsisting relationship -evidence of intention to live together permanently in the UK after you apply-what do you suggest to include to prove this please? If I don't...

looking at the long list of so many missing docs, they prob even forgot to include accommodation evidence
