Hi CR001

Any advise from you? I greatly appreciate it, as this will help my mom and she needs this break to comfort her after the sudden death of my dad.

Thank you for your advise

Regards

Hi All, I am inviting my mom to come and visit us in the UK for a short period. She is self-sponsoring her trip, I am providing her with food and my friend is providing accommodation. This is because I only have a 2-bed house. I have two kids, one is four years old and another one is two years old. ...

Topic moved to the 'GENERAL IMMIGRATION' sub forum. Please DO NOT post visitor visa questions in the Tier 1 General Sub forum, you are not applying for a Tier 1 General visa!!! All visitor visas are now 'Standard Visitor visa' applied online. https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor-visa/overview Thanks...

Hi All I am planning to apply for visit visa for my mom. She has been to the UK twice with general visa, back then I was not a permanent resistance. I am a British citizen now, but I am not sponsoring for her visit, I am just inviting her. She will be staying with our family friend and visiting us a...

You need all original documents. She needs to show that she can afford her trip without access to public funds in the UK. Also, she should prove she has adequate accommodation in the UK. You need to provide a letter of invitation and maybe your birth certificate to prove your relationship. She also ...

Hi In last occasions, my parents showed their property and funds in their bank account. I was a work permit holder and provided them with a letter of invitation and accommodation letter. I am a British citizen now, will my mother require any additional documents this time? for example, my salary sli...

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately not surprising due to the frequent and lengthy visits to the UK your Father has been making. Visitor visas have become far more difficult to obtain for parents following the tightening on the Immigration Rules in July 2012 for adult dependent relatives. This is official guidance for E...

Hi I lost my dad recently. My mum badly needs a break. I wanted her to come and spend a month with us. She has been to the UK twice as tourist with my dad. Last two occasions they self sponsored their visit with my brother paying their air ticket. They paid the expenses from their savings and this t...

Thank you everyone for sharing their experiences. I am looking to upgrade my application too. I am thinking whether to send SA302's before upgrading or just upgrade without it. Obviously, I did not send them in the initial application. Your response would be much appreciated. Regards, Nas Hi Nas, I...

Have you tried the adequate maintenance calculations? Many thanks to Vinny, I did not know that I was able apply for settlement. It was Vinny rightly pointed out that I can apply for settlement visa instead of further extension. Since then, it was a big journey, getting all koll requirements, finan...

Hi All, Thank you for vinny, amber and all moderators, I got my wife's visa today. It was sent by post following her passport. The premium upgrade team was very helpful and I should say it was worth paying the extra money. I wish everyone expecting their application outcome all the very best and goo...

Depends what benefits you are claiming and any presume added? Hi Amber, I have question about my adequate maintenance. We have two kids and both born in the UK and British citizen. My salary after tax month 1 - £1583.33, wife salary - £498.48 month 2 - £1454.73, wife salary - £623.10 month 3 - £125...

Yes, with my salary, wife salary and saving we are well over the required level, but my legal consultant made a mistake in the form by putting some low figures and not mentioning the saving. But all salary slips and bank statements were submitted, he says even though he put different figure, they al...

I have two kids, one has British passport and younger is only 11 months old and we have not applied for her passport yet.

Why isn't she preparing for SET(M) ? Hi Vinny, I have submitted SET M form and it was through a legal consultant. I have recently upgraded it to Premium service and they acknowledged that they are looking at my case. I have a small problem with my form, in section 8 my consultant has used estimate ...

Hi baba_baba, Thanks for your reply. I have also replied to the email address to ask about the reason why my application has been rejected but they never responded. might be the different case from yours then. Thanks for letting me know anyway. Hi Shak118, I am quite sure that they check every sing...

Hi shark118,

Sorry, I meant to say that I contacted them. I used the following email

PremiumUpgrade@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

Thanks

Hi saj626, Thanks for your reply, I have spoken to them. They have received my request and processing it and said that they are still waiting for the application to be arrived at the Premium office. They apologised for the delay, but I don't know why the office takes long to send the application for...

Congrats... Small question, did you hand write the the forms and what format did you send them? I sent my first email as word doc and received no replies and when i emailed them as Handwritten pdf format, i received a reply saying they have requested the file, but my payment form, i still send it as...

Dear Members I am in the same situation I had applied to upgrade set (LR) on 21 June Tuesday got reply on 22 June Wednesday they said Your application has been requested from the relevant team. Upon receipt of your application we will process the additional payment.since then no money has taken fro...

Hi, I have sent an email to upgrade my application and got a confirmation, but they have not taken the money from my account. And it has been almost one week now, the first general auto reply says that their service standard is 48 to 72 hours to get our files from storage. But I don't think that is ...

Hi Vinny, We have posted SET M application on Thursday and I did not send my wife's last month bank statement as it only arrived on Saturday, can I send her bank statement mentioning her details and date of post or should I wait till I get acknowledgment letter from HO and use the reference no? And ...

Thanks Vinny,

Hi Vinny, Thanks for your advice, I am planning to include a cover page. Can I apply Child Tax Credit? As this will help me to meet adequate maintenance required by old rule. At the moment I only get Child benefits and I don't get any other benefits, when I calculated our income against the set crit...
