Re: Spouse visa, pip and uc

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...

Re: Settlement Visa

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...

Re: IHS fee for spouse visa

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...

Re: Settlement Visa

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...

Re: Name change not updated in passport

Hello, I changed my surname a few years ago using a deed poll but have not updated my passport to reflect the change yet. The change in surname was not due to my marriage. Previously my surname consisted of 2 words, one of which is now my middle name. This has not caused me any problems during trav...

Re: Unable to apply for Priority Service on Spouse Visa from Pakistan

I believe the option for a priority visa is given at Islamabad VFS but not at lahore. My wife applied at Lahore and wasn't given the change (early July, could have changed now) but I know a user on the forum who took a priority visa from Islamabad at the same time.

Re: Name change not updated in passport

The way I understand the visa process, you want to give the Home Office the least opportunity to dwell on your husband's application. If you have legally changed your name using a deed poll then you should probably update your passport to reflect your current name as your passport is your proof of B...

Do I need to provide my parent's ID for the spousal visa?

I am inviting my wife to live with me and my parents. Do I need to provide my parent's passports or driving licenses as part of the supporting documentation? They have written an invitation letter, I've got a title deed and mortgage statement but I am wondering if you need to provide ID. Thanks
