All the new evidence you submit in an appeal should be in support of the previous documents already submitted. As far as my understanding goes you cannot submit new evidence at an appeal which when submitted at the time of original application might have had an impact on the decision. I say this bas...

I am a Tier 2 ICT holder(from 2009) with an Indian passport. Due to personal circumstances, I had to come to India for a 4 month period, during which, I am working for my UK company from home. As long as you have a contract with the UK company proving you were in continous employment during the tim...

Can people please share visit visa processing times? Many thanks.

See also APL1.1 Appeal process flowcharts . Thanks for the response. I think I will get in a fresh application as the response time is much more predictable. If the appeal is successful and the decision is overturned - I am not sure if a EC will be issued straight away or a determination letter wil...

Thanks... how long does it normally take for an appeal outcome.

Is it quicker than a fresh application response time-frame?

I have my family's visitor visa rejected due to not providing my proof of accommodation and my employer letter. I want to know if I supply my tenancy agreement and employer letter in an appeal to the same application, will it be a valid appeal as my new supporting documents will be supplied after th...

If the only reason for refusal was the issue of accommodation, it will be much quicker to reapply, this time including all the relavant evidence. When you say you should have "made her apply under the visitor visa category instead of the family category", what do you mean? What is your ow...

My mother applied for a visitor visa under the family category. Her visa got rejected stating the application did not provided satisfactory evidence of the sponsor's ability to accommodate you as claimed. Therefore I am not satisfied that you will be maintained and accommodated in the UK I did not s...

100% Agree with you.

I applied (for family visit visa) on the 20th of April 2011

My status says "Processed application delivered to Blue Dart on 26 May 2011"

This means, I should have my passport with me tommorrow.

My family applied for a short visit visa on the 20th of April 2011. The status on the website still says "Visa application is under process at the British High Commission" It has completed more than 15 'working days' already. As per UKBA processing times 99% of the applications should have...

My family applied for their visit visa (from Mumbai-South) on the 20th of April 2011.

Still awaiting a decision...

Nobody knows the reason behind this delay

I got a job (early March) but still had my CV sitting on monster. I got about 4 calls in the last 3 weeks about various opportunities around London. One of the agents was really gutted to hear that I'm employed as the role he had was fiting my profile like a glove. I literally had to pull-down my CV...

I'm not sure if I understand your situation correctly. 1. You did your phone interview from India. 2. Answered 10 out of 12 correctly. 3. Expecting them to interview you face to face ??? (Where? in India?) Anyways - I kindda understand what information you're looking for. For a personal interview be...

I was in a similar interview for infrastructure/application support level 3 two weeks ago. The questions that I got asked were very generic but they were looking for specific answers.

5 weeks of search, 3 offers, finally picked one and working. This one line sums up my story. I came to London in mid Feb 2009 from New Zealand. Before coming I had done my extensive research about what will be my plan of action from the time I arrive at Heathrow. When in my home country I had conta...

I do not know the answer to your question.

But, I have a question that you possibly could answer.
What does it take for a non-european / non-british national to work in Denmark? (Is there something along the lines of HSMP?)

I get shots of motivation (posts from Krastovastik) and equally depressing threads as well.. Krastovastik is just ONE lucky guy... I've been in London for 3 weeks - and have only managed one face-to-face interview with 2 or maybe 3 other interviews in the pipeline. I am pleased with the progress I ...
