Thank you for the reply. Thought I'd check!

My husband's Tier 2 dependant visa runs out in December and I was thinking about setting up the maintenance funds. I am currently on ILR, but during my last Tier 2 extension I got my employer to check the "maintenance provided" box on the CoS and didn't have to show any funds for myself. R...

Thank you so much for your reply. Please do let me know when you get your wife’s passport back.

I am planning a visit to Germany on 5th of July and unfortunately only able to get a visa appointment for the end of June. Their website says that the processing time is 5 working days. I was wondering if anyone has applied for a visa with Visametric recently and is able to share their experience re...

I recived the below email for IRL application... "I’m pleased to confirm that your application for indefinite leave to remain has now been decided . You will receive your decision letter in due course. Thank you for using our super priority service." Is there anyone who had the same exper...

My email today said "I’m pleased to confirm that your application for leave has now been granted." which is also strange because it seems to indicate that my application has been granted, which doesn't make much sense. However, the next sentence is "You will receive your decision lett...

I'm inclined to believe that your ILR has been approved as the language is "I am pleased to confirm".
I doubt the case worker would be pleased about telling you that your application has been rejected!

I had a service point in my city but after some thought I decided to go to Croydon (free appointment) rather than hold out for an appointment in my Enhanced Service Point. 12-03-2019 : Submitted application online and made the payment 01-04-2019 : Appointment at Croydon at 11:30am. Arrived just afte...

Can I ask if you were at the minimum salary for your SOC code or somewhat above it?

I asked my boss to update my salary on SMS but he said he couldn't find anywhere he could do that. Could anyone who's familiar with the SMS tell me anything about this?

Also, as its only a £1000 increase and was done mainly to comply with the latest codes of practice, is the update actually required?

To the people who have applied through the Croydon centre- how long did the whole process take at Croydon? Did you have to queue outside?

My employers have finally agreed to raise my salary according to the current codes of practice starting this month. I am planning to get my payslip/bank statement for March and book an appointment for early April. I also intend to explain in a cover letter that my salary has been increased to match ...

I don't suppose you remember what day of the week a slot was available at Ipswich? A friend of mine and another friend of a friend have used the Norwich centre last month so I'm guessing the technical problems have been solved. I did get the advice of checking midnight or early morning for slot avai...

I've just submitted my ILR application online and tried to book an appointment (super-priority) in the Norwich Service Point only to see there were none available for the next 2 weeks. It was the same with the surrounding areas in Ipswich, Cambridge (I even tried Bedford) but the only available appo...

As long as it has the banks stamp, it’s ok. I have used that type before for my extension. Just ensure it has the stamp. Also you can get your statement from any branch of your bank. Just walk in and ask them. If you tell them the purpose, they will try and ensure it’s on the letter head. Ok thanks...

I am actually in a similar boat. My salary has been at the minimum threshold required for my PhD level job since I extended my Tier 2 visa. Now, however, the threshold has gone up by £1000 and so my salary needs to be increased by that amount just before I apply for my ILR. Would explaining the sit...

Does anyone have an answer to this please?

You have already received an answer. What more were you expecting??

The post hadn't appeared when I sent the last message for some reason.

Does anyone have an answer to this please?

I am on my second Tier 2 visa at the moment and have to apply for ILR. When I applied for my Tier 2 extension my employer had to increase my salary to the minimum level required for an experienced candidate, which for my PhD level job was £27,000 at the time, according to the codes of practice. My q...

Thanks for the quick response as usual CR001!

Hi all I am currently on a Tier 2 (general) visa and will be applying for ILR in a few months. I apologise if this has been asked before but I wanted to check in any case. While I know that you need to provide bank statements with your application, do you have to show any particular amount as a main...

Thank you for your reply! Its a relief to know you got it within a week. Yeah I called VFS and they said that a copy of my husband's passport will do if I don't have the original. I understand that you can renew even after your passport expires, however, you need to have at least 6 months valid on y...

As far as I know, most countries where you have to apply for a visa have this rule, for some the validity requirement might even be longer. You could try going to a country where you could get a visa on arrival, for example, Turkey has visa on-arrival for Indians who reside in the UK. Though you may...

1. I put in my UK address as "other address" as it also asked for a phone number (which the maina ddress didn't). 2. As I don't have any relatives or family in the UK, I put my husband's name who's in the US. 3. Yes, that's what "local" means :) 4. I'm sure they can be, again, so...
