Thank you that's good to know.

I have 2 kids, although they have British passports


I was worried the visa people, will think how can this guy support them if his job terminates in 6 months..

Hello all, I have booked my wife's English test on the 26th of January. I have another question in the meantime, as you may know if you have been following my forum posts. I was living in Japan , but moved back to the UK on the 1st time of December ...I started my new job which is only a 1 year cont...

I'm sorry for the stupid question, I just wanted to double-check.

Thank you for your help. I have questions about the application. 1. It asks me if My wife and I have any shared financial responsibilities, ie child care, utility bills. Well, we do but they're not addressed to both of us, for example, the child care allowance is paid in my name and the gas and elec...

Thank you so much.

If I started my job on the 6th of December 2021. Is it ok for me to apply for the visa on the 6th of June 2022. or will I be refused? that should be 6 months? I will get my 6th wage slip on the 23rd of May..so could I apply on the 23rd of may or 6th of June is better?

Thank you

Even if I did have savings, I would still have to wait 6 months anyway right?

My main income before tax is £31,000 a year. so I will just wait until June 6 to apply.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you,

sorry, I have savings spread out across different accounts.

but I have £15,000 saved up in premium bonds which have been there for over 6 months.

Can I use them as proof, if so...does it mean I can apply a little sooner?

I need to do the maths, but just checking

Dear all, I have a different question to ask... Regarding the Finances, My original plan was I move to the UK, start my new job and apply for a visa in June, once I have been at my job for 6 months. My wife currently works in Japan but will be quitting her job in March 2022 ( She has been doing that...

Fantastic thank you.

Thanks CR001

I'm not questioning the requirements,

to put it simply, can I book and take the test before I've even applied for the visa?

I forgot to ask, Before I book the test, I wanted to ask...if it ok to book this test before I have completed my wife's Visa? I have completed it online, but have not submitted it/applied for it yet ( I will not be applying until June ) The test center is asking for her full name and passport number...

Thank you, I understand.

I will speak to my wife and book the test, I'm not applying for her visa until June, so in the meantime I will book her test as she can do it anytime, its valid for 2 years

yes but it says a degree or a qualification taught in English

sorry, I was not meaning to beat around the bush..

I will contact ETTIS.

Although I don't believe Eiken is a degree. Let's see

Thank you, my wifes Eiken English exam was taken in Japan. so perhaps ecctis can advise me... funny enough, Just found this.. The IELTS for UKVI administered by Eiken foundation of Japan is a paper-based test. If you would like to take the Computer-Delivered IELTS for UKVI, please apply from the Bri...

Sorry, I should have asked can you possible provide the list of approved tests?

Thank you, it was jkrobs. but I cannot re-set the password. I never seemed to get a reset password email.

Your kidding...I guess there is a monopoly there to make money.

I will contact ecctis and see if they can advise further...

Dear All, First of all, I would like to say a big thank you for all the help which was provided to me for getting my kids UK passports. I did have an account on here with a different user name, but I was having trouble logging in and getting a re-set password. So I set up a new login. Anyway back in...
