Yes, you can reapply. Waiting for appeal decision does not stop you from re-applying.

I hope you have all your original documents with you now though?

Wait for their letter within a week or 1.5 weeks. just be patient ok.

YES

@Adima, send UKBA Sheffield a letter for update here - VisaSheffield@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

Thanks for your prompt response...I wish all the best in your next sojourn in the UK

@Dada, congratulations. I am aware you must not exceed three months after your visa issuance date, so you should still be OK after your course.

can you give a timeline of your spousal visa application though, i mean how long does your application took do you have to go through appeal or not?

This is just an appendix ... the main form VAF4A is the only place that a signature is required.

I hope you understand?

@jOHNJ1 said: Hello JohnJ1, Please how long did it take before a decision was reached? You applied in Lagos January 7th 2013 when did you collect the visa,passport and supporting documents from VFS office Lagos? Thanks Sorry about the refusal ...

@temmyt,

This rule just started May 1, 2013. It does not apply to you when you applied in April.

For online spouse/fiance(e) visa application (VAF4A), is appendix 2 also submitted online or is it always filled in by hand and submitted with original documents. You will have to submit VAF4A Appendix 2 with the printed online form to the VAC while you send your supporting documents originals dire...

Thank you KukuJohn...

Where is the link to this information? ... I am not sure this can be used for UK spousal settlement visa as yet as I think it has to go through some forms of formal admittance to the UKBA immigration rules and regulations.

Or what do guys think?

Many thanks once again Lucapooka. Does she have to declare she will be seeing are fiancee during the visit and when applying for the spousal visa will it be OK to just show they have only been seeing each other for just 5-6 months and can only show emails as the only communication support evidence? ...

Many thanks Lucapooka for your response.

Can she be invited to the UK then and then go back to reapply or can she come into the UK via visitor's Visa first and later apply for spousal visa?

I have a colleague who is British (divorced) from Africa and just recently met his new fiance via a friend but they have not met yet in person. They have only been exchanging photos and emails and the lady already met the guys family. What type visa can she applied for to come to the UK for them to ...

Hi Sara89, If I were you I will wait another 4 months when the conviction might have been spent. That way you are guaranteed an unmistakable BC approval. Don't make the mistake if you read through all the board's postings you would have discovered that HO will not approve an applicant with a driving...

Yes...Smallfamily is right...just get an official letter from your employer to validate the official 71 days you are out of the country.

I am sure you will be fine..cheeers:)
