Was your spouse physically present on the same date 3 years ago as the date she applied online? If she was not, which is a mandatory requirement, HO might be checking her eligibility under the 5 year route. It really makes absolutely no difference which route she goes for, they both lead to exactly the same thing. Once is not more advantageous than the other. As she appears to be an EU citizen with EU Settled Scheme, HO can ask for proof of residence for the 5 years if they need to. They can also ask for any original documentation to be sent to them and are within their rights to do so. Note that the appointment at Sopra is NOT an 'interview' of a 'face to face' appointment with HO staff. UKCVAS Sopra is a third party agent who ONLY does document check and enroll biometrics for applicants.We are using 3 year route as she is married to me who is British. Before application she was asked to type in her NI number to make sure she has been in UK for 3 years everything was fine except they could not find anything for 2 month gap which we had to upload manually.
We uploaded everything online before her face-to-face interview with UKVCAS(Sopra Steria) which we actually paid for. After waiting over 3 months for the letter. We finally got letter asking her to provide proof of residency for 5 years as well as her English language and her life in UK test certificates.
Can some one please tell me if this is normal practice as mentioned above were are using 3 year route so why was she asked to provide 5 year residency proof and why was she asked to provide her English language and Life in UK test certificates ?
So what Exactly did we pay UKVCAS(Sopra Steria) if I have to provide all documents which was already provided and confirmed by UKVCAS(Sopra Steria) face-to-face member ?
If the application is refused, you lose the fee. You only get £80 back which is the ceremony fee.Also final question I have if something happens do we get this £1500 fee back for British Citizenship I'm hoping everything will be fine but just wanted to know what happens to fee as it taken us while to save this up and it looks like too me someone's not doing their job or they would not be asking us to provide 5 year proof of residency where everything already done before.
Hi Can I also please ask if bank statements and tv licence Bill's rent Bill's phone bills gas bills all accepted documents ?
