I understand tax clearance certificates are required for self-employed visit visa applicants. However, this may differ for some countries.

TB listed country etc. all the applications I made on for my relatives hv been quick..within their published service standards. has she been denied entry to any other country ? Thanks for coming back to me. I ...

Why did you apply for a 2 year one? Has she had one without issues before? This is her first application. Frankly, I wasn't ready to go through this anytime soon so I thought it was better to apply for 2 years, as no rule in their guideline states you cannot do so. Worst case, they will issue 6 ...

Hi All, Greetings to you all. Just wanted to know if any or too many applicants are experiencing same problems. I applied for UK Visitor visa for my sister to visit me here in the UK over the summer period. Unfortunately, up until now am still awaiting decision. Below is a breakdown of timeline ...

Hi All, Surprised no one has a response or opinion regarding my post, despite all the viewings. In any case, we have decided to go ahead with what we believe will give them the best chance of being issued entry visas. Thanks everyone for the viewings. I will update the post with outcome of the high ...

Hi All, My sister and her husband are in the process of applying for visiting visa for a week break in the UK. This shouldn't be a problem, as her husband is a medical doctor and owns/runs his own hospital in Nigeria, and have been for well over 10 years. I have provided them letter of invitation ...

What is your brother-in-law's status in Italy? Does he have family members or significant ties to Italy? Thanks. As far as am aware, he does have resident permit, and can live and work legally in Italy but will require visa to travel to most countries as usual, UK included. As for ties, don't know ...

Minimal or zero rights of appeal. Thanks for the quick response. Any chance you can explain why you mentioned there is little or no rights of appeal. Not that I have any doubt of your response, don't get me wrong. I used to believe inviting a family member means you can appeal the decision if ...

Hi All, My wife and I invited her younger brother that lives and works in Italy to visit the UK. He was refused visit citing they do not believe his intentions to return to Italy. We want to appeal the decision, but there was no right of appeal. I thought, as family member my brother in-law had the ...

Hmm Thanks for pointing that out ... Much appreciated But I am not sure if it came by royal mail or not. And I though Royal Mail requires someone to sign at home and if they do not find anyone they usually leave a collection slip. I am not trying to be critical out here, but just trying to ...

Thanks Shahid.

Good news is that I have now found the missing doc containing the parent's DOB details I used for naturalization application.

I will now go ahead and complete the section 4 details on the passport application form.

Thanks once again for your time.

I think this is a hard one mate. There will also be the issue that for the identity interview for first passport they almost always ask you for the parents details including date and place of birth - I am not sure whether they only ask about the information you provide on the passport form or ...

HI All, I am applying for British passport, but have a major headache. I do not remember what my parents DOB is. When I applied for naturalization, I chose a DOB for them rather than leaving it blank. Unfortunately, during a recent house move I cannot locate where a copy of the parent's details on ...

Yes CR001, you were definitely right. It was indeed a delay from Royal Mail. I can confirm I have now received my approval letter.

Thank you for your kind response.

Hi All, I applied for naturalization in February this year for myself, wife and a child. I just received letters of approval today for my wife and child, but none for myself. This has now cut short the joy we were hoping to derive from this. I am worried that something might not be right, as I ...

Hi All,

How do I access the points calculator for PBS migrants?

Kindly post the link?

That's great news I must say. I wonder why HO have yet to publish this information on their websites. This will help lots of us avoid this money-wasting venture of using UK NARIC to confirm our English language proficiency. Surely if it was their websites, I would have had that as proof to the NCS ...

Hi, Me and My wife both are on ILR , she was on spouse of Tier1 Applicant visa before ILR , I can understand that if I produce the PBS calculator points and a letter from University should be enough for me as UKBA has been awarding me 35 points for my degree from the very first day. My question is ...
