Fee waiver question

To renew or not to renew...

Hi all, My unmarried partner's visa expires on 31/12/24 and we are debating whether or not to renew. She is a Colombian citizen and, when we first got the visa, Colombian's weren't permitted to enter the UK as tourists whereas they can now enter for 6 months without visa, so she could re-enter the U...

Re: Appeal allowed :)

Update (or not). We still haven't heard anything from UKVI, it's now over 3 months since the judge allowed our appeal. I've chased them a couple of times but I got a generic, copy and pasted, message back both times, then when I press them for something more specific, I get a short message back just...

Re: Unmarried partner visa refused - unable to demonstrate co-habitation

I am registered to this address with Colombian immigration, but I don't believe there is any mechanism to access/request those records. The good news is since yesterday we have now found a utility bill in my name, it's for the water service. The bills for that arrived digitally and to an old email a...

Re: Unmarried partner visa refused - unable to demonstrate co-habitation

There's no tenancy agreement as the apartment is fully owned. Utility bills in Colombia are always in the homeowners name, y...

Re: Unmarried partner visa refused - unable to demonstrate co-habitation

Regarding "not travelling to the UK since 2015" in the refusal letter, this refers to some evidence we provided to show that my partner visited England and lived with me in 2015. Since then we have lived together in Colombia for 5 years (other than my trips to the UK for work). I just don'...

We have been together for 7 years and during that time I have flown back and forth from England to Colombia to spend time together at her apartment. We are together approximately 7-8 months of every year (the ...
