Hi, Has anyone used the online application? It seems pretty straight forward to fill. Questions: 1) Can I use my credit card to pay online? 2) I assume you have to mail documents after you make the payments. How much time do you have to get the docs ready and mail? 3) Can you travel between the time...
Hi Guys, also, if I submit application online, How long before one needs to send all the documents? Can I travel after submitting application and sending documents to UKBA?
Hi, I am expecting my parents to visit us in UK (I am on Tier 1 General) from India. I am looking for suggestions on the following: 1) Options to buy travel insurance from? 2) I heard from couple people that they may need medical certificate. However, I have not seen that in any official documents. ...
any more insights into this? Seems scary. We pay so much in fees, and additional fees for PEO appointment. Hope that they keep the process straight forward.
I just booked my PEO appointment, and paid the fees online. (woops, didn't realize that now you have to pay the full fee at the time of booking the appointment!!). Now, how do I fill the first section in the form, that pertains to the fee?
Unfortunately, if you've had one single break of more than 180 days, you cannot break it based on your application date. i.e. any single break of 180 days or more, resets the continuous period. If you had more than 180 days in any one calendar year, and it was made up of multiple smaller breaks of l...
Hi, Since you have one long absence of more than 180 days, your continuous period is reset. For continuous period, you have to meet two things: 1) No single absence of 180 days or more 2) No more than 180 days absence during each of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years before application. If your absence was made...
What I mean by higher threshold is the threshold for other things -- e.g. a driving offense etc. I hope that nothing untoward happens. However, extra time gives you buffer and chances to get any such thing become "spent"!
I don't think it is dumb at all. Do a give (a couple grand in fees) versus get (peace of mind) analysis. If you can afford it without impacting your life significantly, you should do it. Remember 28 days buffer earlier was ok, since you had a chance to always renew it, if ILR was not available. (i.e...
It seems their intent was to give 3 or more. However, based on the language, it doesn't look like anyone is going to get more than 3 years.I have asked the same question a couple of times. The language in the form / guidance is confusing. The only hope is some changes in future. I hope UKBA clarifie...
Hi Vinay, I am in the similar situation and have a lot of questions, since there is no guidance document for this visa. Did you get any responses? Also, do you remember if you had to submit two online applications or just one? Also, how did you get them both the same appointment to visit the visa ce...
Hello All, 1) I am trying to apply for Visitor visa for my parents using online application. Do I need to create / submit two applications for both parents? 2) There is a questions about "Are you travelling with anyone?" What should I answer? I expect both parents to travel together. Also,...
Ade76 / Ram80: I believe you can only split if this is made up of multiple visits. If all 283 days were in a single visit, the continuous period is reset. i.e. any single absence of more than 180 days resets the period.
Go12: We applied in US, and used the bank accounts in the USA. Sajid08: For the first couple questions: 1. Are you accompanying the main applicant or joining them later? Since my kid was going to travel with me, I answered "Accompanying" 2. How are you related to the main applicant? I answ...
We just completed our application recently (and got the visa). 1) Main applicant is the child 2) Funds are from parents 3) Medical -- This one, even we were not sure. I ticked no (If I remember, the question in the application was something like "if you've ever [b]travelled [/b]to UK for medica...
