I believe your son will still not be a British national as he won't have a British passport or Certificate of Naturalisation. However, he will still enjoy the same rights as a British Citizen in terms of immigration and work in the UK. I would probably not state he was a British citizen in your wife...

Thanks for your detailed reply. I became a British Citizen By Naturalisation in 2016. I know CoE is more expensive. I am thinking of applying for CoE instead of a passport because the wait time is a lot more. Is there any other negative consequence related to CoE. Regards, Noman I'm still unsure of...

You know there is progress on your application. . Sure doesn't feel like it. She asked questions we already answered in the paperwork that they've had since the end of March. In 2 days it will be 6 months since her biometrics. And the guy at UKVI ended our communication so in order to ask anything ...

Hello everyone. I am a Ghanaian applying for a spousal visa to join my wife in the UK. She currently lives in an HMO (different households) but has a large room to herself . We have met all requirements but I am bit confused about the some of the accommodation-related questions. For the question, D...

Hi, I hope someone can answer my question, have googled everywhere and found no answer. I am about to apply for a Spouse Visa UK from oversees. I am resident in Italy but already in possession of 5 year a Business visitor UK visa (still 2 years validity). I will apply next week and will attend the ...

this is VSF claiming but i am not getting any answer from UK VI. I did raise a paid query online like 5 days ogo but still I did not head back from them. Do they usually take that long to respond? Think they are just busy, consider the HO is dealing with a lot of visa applications (Afghanistan situ...

As you are a British Citizen a few different questions. Were you born in the UK? Or did you obtain ILR and nationality through your own 5 year visa process (and not relied on your parents British nationality to gain your own after being born abroad)? If yes to either, your child is eligible for a Br...

Non priority I have to say I'm astonished at the speed at which your visa application was processed. Jealous in fact! As for your question, from browsing the forum almost every day for the last 2 months, these sorts of mistake emails are sent by UKVI quite often. It seems like you've done all the s...

family visa applications from Pakistan: Wife and 2 kids Today i have received an email from UKVI as below Thank you for your application for entry clearance for which you used the submission without passport service. Your application has now been assessed, please submit your passport to the visa ap...

To clarify the responses above, I put in a second application a few hours later after making the corrections and it was fine. Even though the cancellation page states that they will let you know if the cancellation was successful, I think you can just ignore that and treat it as cancelled. The refun...

Since myself and my partner got married in May 2014 i've been out of a job ever since I've not been allowed to apply for anything since we moved in together in 2015, i literally have been held against my will by his family's until i fled in february this year. Everytime i'm this close to calling th...

Thank you so much for your response TODMATT. Can you please advise me on what application best suits my situation? I think we need to know some more information. Which different visas have you been issued since you arrived in the country in 2011? Can you please give us a timeline? I am going to ass...

No call or email today. So another long mule weekend waiting...

Ah so gutted for you on the other hand may as well enjoy not have to worry about receiving a call over the weekend!

Hi, I have made a mistake on my PBS visa extension application form when entering periods of absence, which may significantly impact the amount of time I have spent outside the UK. I am trying to change it but I am not getting the options to do so. I have paid the healthcare surcharge, but I have n...

Sounds so stressful! So glad that they have finally responded and hope that the interview is straightforward. I just want them to call again! Tomorrow! But they probably won't. *fingers crossed* I kinda want to go to bed right now in case they do! And it's only 6pm lol Bring it on. Ask me whatever ...

Working day 119. I woke up this morning to a missed call from UK! FML!!!! Checked my email and 12 minutes after the call (which they didn't leave a voice message) they sent me an email. "Sept 9 email: Dear***, Regarding Visa Application: GWF********* For: *** The UK Decision Making Centre is c...

But i applied from India, chennai.

Apologies, the India timeline then!

Hi All, Alhamdhullilah, Today I have received my passport with visa approved. The timeline for this is exactly 30 working days which is 6 weeks altogether. I haven’t got any email from VFS though, just received an sms from DHL courier that the passport has been ready for shipment. Thanks everyone f...

I agree with the above. Just resit the exam, obviously that's more money but it seems to be less hassle than the appeal process and more time consuming. Get the right result and then appeal the previous test result and maybe they will refund it if they find an issue? Good luck

How long you guys waiting for my decision has been made since 24th June still did not receive my passport

If a decision was made that long ago, I think you should contact the HO via email (cost £2.74) to understand what's going wrong in the process.

I just want to know how long will it take normally for the VAC to contact for the passport collection after the decision made by the UKVI

Whatever answer we give is a guess but from people's post history on the 'Pakistan Timelines' thread, seems to be around 1 to 2 weeks

Imran I believe you are free to apply for the spouse visa for your wife but I think because you claim personal independence payment (one of the permitted benefits). You will need to meet the adequate maintenance requirements to prove you have enough money to sustain your life after your partner arri...

Yes, that is for standard timeline. I’m worried because I have paid extra £600 pounds for the priority. So if it is getting delayed there is no point of applying for priority. Thats the reason we are worried about now. We even tried to contact UKVI to know the progress but there was no response fro...

I recently paid for my wife's application in PKR. On the day it cost me £1584.66 for the visa fee and £1947.79 for the IHS fee. Not sure if I will be getting a refund for the overpayments as I did everything I could to make the price as accurate to the conversion as possible. Just seems like the UK...

Friend try to find a way to stop thinking about it, I made my wife's application on 13/07/21 and still no reply or acknowledgement yet. It's not an issue, UKVI has 12 weeks/60 Working days minimum before they actually have to respond with an update. Try not to worry before this date as there is noth...
