Hi, I submitted my application on Sep 22 and then heard nothing from either UKVI or UKVCAS about anything. No emails to even advise whether I should use IDV app or book an appointment were sent. I kept calling UKVI to escalate and asked my univ to do the same. No progress with any of our requests. E...
Yes, previous studies are complete. That visa is still valid and I have applied for extension for new degree. Can I travel on the previous visa or is it not valid anymore?
Thanks for your reply. My university has encouraged me to escalate with UKVI at my end, while they chase it up at their end. It is a week's deadline, so not having any initial emails is way over the advised time. Our application seems stuck. I wouldn't mind the wait, but my partner needs to travel b...
Hi, I was made aware today that any applicant should have received an email that informs them whether their biometrics can be reused or not and to download the IDV app within 28 days of having registered with the UKVCAS by UKVI customer representative. I want to confirm if this is true because previ...
Hi, I applied for Tier 4 extension with dependents on Sep 22 from within UK. All docs uploaded on Sep 23 and complete silence ever since. They say wait times are 8 weeks when I called, even though it says on UKVCAS website that it is actually a week long. Dont know what to make of this. My uni conta...
Please can you elaborate on your reply? I don't know which reply you mean, although they are both complete. Standard processing times for leave to remain applications are published on the Home Office website and easily found via Google. Hi, I meant when you said 'it depends on where you apply'.
Is there any rule for the number of days dependants of a tier 4 student are allowed to live abroad due to circumstances beyond their control, in our case Covid. No. What are the current timelines like? I submitted my application on Sep 22 for Tier 4 extension with dependants and haven't heard anyth...

The university has come back to me saying their contact at UKVI responded that I should hear from them shortly. That was on Thursday last week. Today, I complete 3 weeks of having submitted my application. No idea what is happening with my application.
Hello You can try to ask the university to contact the Home Office. As a sponsor, they have a more direct contact and they could be able to make things move for you or at least trigger something. Once you lodge the application, they don't ask to see maintenance funds again. You can spend it if you ...
There is no specific alternative document. You will need to provide evidence that even though you lived apart, your marriage was genuine and subsisting. Visits, snapshots of communications, ongoing shared assets, etc. The international student adviser at your university can give one-to-one advice a...
Hi, I have recently applied for Tier 4 extension along with my dependents. We applied on Sep 22, hoping to receive a decision within a week or two, but that hasn't happened. Now, I will need to start spending maintenance funds, as need to pay for accommodation, that too in bulk. How does that effect...
