Hello, I needed some help please. I will be applying for my parents family visit visa via vfs. Now they have an online form as opposed to manual form. There is a section for parents details. The issue is that my dad and mom do not know their parents DOB details. What should I put as their DOB? Shoul...

Thanks for posting this. Can I just add one question please? CASA- This means that after completing 2 years Probationary period, the spouse can apply for an ILR. After 12 months from the ILR grant date, the spouse can apply for British Citizenship (since that means completion of 3 years in the UK? A...

Hi all, Need some advise from people who maybe are facing the same situation as myself. I am currently an ILR Visa holder (granted in Aug 2012) which expires in 2022. My wife is on a dependent visa (not ILR). Since at the time of my wife's application, we did not complete the 2 years probationary pe...

Hi members, Need some advice please. Currently my wife is living with me in the UK. I am an ILR visa holder which was granted in 2012. I got married in 2012 but since we were not married and my wife did not reside in the UK for min 2 years, she did not get her ILR status. Currently she is on a depen...

Hi Nazeer, Firstly, are you going for a postal application or in person? I agree that postal will be cheaper but I wud still like you to consider the premium service which I understand is expensive. the advantage of premium service is that if the case worker has any issues at all then he can always ...

I encountered this issue so wanted to share this with evryone. My wife already had her UK residency (dependant of Tier 1) from April 2012 (so pre July 2012 rules apply). I changed my status to ILR in Aug 12. For my wife I filled up the FLR M form which was accepted by the Croydon PEO. However, one o...

I got my ILR on 30 Aug 2012. It went all smooth and fine at the PEO. Had my appointment at 10:20 AM so was there 30 min early. Went through the security check and joined a small queue where my form was quickly checked. I still dont think this initial check adds any value at all. Was then directed to...

Hi, I have now made a good file for my ILR. Just need some final help from people who have made applications in the past few months similar to my case. I am applying via th SET (O) form. I have a combination of Work Permit (previously) and Tier 1 General (currently). Hence, in Sec 3 of the SET (O) f...

Recently Natwest has changed its bank statement format. Did anyone notice this? Did anyone face any questions from Home Office abt this?

many thanks

Has anyone applied for 5 years tourist visa for their parents from India? Are there any extra documents which need to be produced to VFS?

not at all, all it is sayin is that you are applying for an extension so that you meet the probationary period requirement in order to be eligible for ILR for which you need to show knowledge of english requirement and life in the uk test. Moderators and senior members, can u pls confirm if my under...

I exactly know which question you are talking about. The questions are framed in a way that it cerates confusion. At the bottom of that page after that BIG OR you will see that probably the second box is applicable for you which indicates that she will be applying in order to extend her stay in the ...

Hi all, Hopefully this will clear a few doubts around spouse visa applications. I called up the Immigration Advise Bureau today to get an understanding. Below are the responses: 1. FLR (M ) or FLR (O)- I am applying for my wife's visa who is currently in the UK under Tier 1 dependent. We got married...

Sorry i got confused, u r saying that your savings will be >22k for 6 months? Or r u talking abt ur gross earnings>22k for 6 months?

A UK Naric letter stating that the Bachelor/Masters Degree from an Overseas Uni is equivalent to a UK Bachelor/Masters degree should be fine?

Also, if an overseas Uni is listed in the UKBA database of Universities for claiming points for degrees should be acceptable?

Great, many thanks

I opted for estatements so dont get statements every month. So I will have to request for bank statements to sent for visa purposes. So if my appointment is on 30 aug, can I submit them statements for period ending 10 Aug?

Hi,

I am applying for SET (O) and FLR (M) for my wife. Just wondering how old should the bank statements be? If I am applying on 30 Aug then what should be latest date on the bank statement?

Thanks Tamil

For FLR (M) how much is the funding requirement?

I have posted many questions on this forum but recently none of them have been answered by the moderators yet

You do not need to fill 7A since for ur wife OLD rules apply. However, u need to show maintenance funds for 3 months. Make this very very clear in your cover letter to the Home Office. It sounds like ur wife is already in the UK, right? If yes, then she must be on a dependent visa? So with regards t...

Hi, That is a horrible experience. Let me get a few things straight first. 1. You applied for ILR via SET (O) form, right? 2. Your marriage is < 2 years and hence you have opted for FLR (M), right? If you are saying YES to the above questions, then I am worried about the caseworkers advise. The link...

Hi Alle, Your concern is very valid, even tho u think u have got it all its always better to be concerned which will help u to be better equiped. I think asim's initial response was too harsh. This is a forum intended for people to discuss thr issues and any concerns they might have. If everyone was...

Are u saying that if I show £483 in my bank acc maintained for the last 1 month it is OK? Can u pls clarify? Also if old rules appl...
