Biometric Appointment ?

[MAS99]

Hi

My wife applied for spouse visa back in 2016 which was granted however she didn't stay here enough due to her studies and now we need to make a new application again( as I assume this is the only way !)

I have few questions hoping somebody can answer

1 - Does anybody have a sample list of documents that I can use ?

2- Does she have to go through Bio-metric again ? She already did in her previous application.

3- Also her degree is in English and we have a letter from university stating that as well. Do we still need to provide NARIC letter ( IELTS expired)?

4- We have two children now. They have British passports so do we need to provide any documentation for them or anything else?

5 - Are UKBA still accepting and processing visa applications as normal ?

6 - Do we need to post any documents to UKBA or is it just scanning all documents and that's it.

7- She took IELTS Life Skills– A1 Speaking & Listening back in 2016. It has expired now but this was used in our previous approved application. Can I use this now again or do she have to do either test or NARIC letter ?

Thank you for your help

Regards

1. Nothing has been changed since 2016 except fee and procedure of applying. Refresh your memory as what had you attached previously through following weblink but make sure to surf all links in it that will even take you to the application:
https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa

2. Yes

3. If the test and test centre still on the ukvi list then it can be still used because it was accepted previously. See that list:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... uage-tests

4. Application form will certainly ask about them so just fill the form accordingly. Maybe no document will be needed to attach about them.

5. UKBA has been renamed with UKVI long while ago. Online application can be submitted but processing is almost frozen especially for those who are applying from abroad. Also vfs/ukvcas centres are all closed.

6. Now nothing is posted to any where rather application and supporting documents are sent electronically through ukvcas/vfs centre. After the submission of application you will be directed as what to do.

7. Yes. See answer 3

Thank you. So I don't need the NARIC certification when I already have expired IELTS test. Am I correct ?

Hello all

I am currently applying for my Wife dependent visa. I am stuck on ENGLISH LANGUGAGE PART

My wife initially applied for Depend visa back in 2017 ( was granted) and she took IELTS to meet English language requirements. That IELTS is expired now

She has also got a degree that was taught in English and she has the certificate plus transcript as well.

Now I can either select degree or IELTS test. If I select degree, they ask for NARIC confirmation letter.

I read here on this website that I can use her OLD EXPIRED IELTS test as this is the same kind of visa and also as long as the test is still in approved intuitions list.. Is this still correct ? Can I upload old test transcript ?

or should she just take another test or use NARIC letter ?

Thanks

Did you mean you came to the UK on a spouse visa and you have previously used an English test but which level is it?

Hi Guys

I am uploading documents online for my wife visa. I have got load of documents ( bank statement, pay slips etc)

If I upload them one by one, it will be quite huge and take time. E.g I am sending 12 months payslips. Should I upload 12 payslips individually or just do one pdf with all 12 payslips ?

I am applying for My wife's visa and uploading documents via VFS global website

There are 2 categories I am confused about

Appendix II - Do I need to upload anything here ?

Accommodation: Permanent/Temporary - Do I need to upload anything here ?

Thanks

Hi

My wife biometric appointment is due next week. We have already self-uploaded all the documents that is on checklist.

Do we still need to take these documents to the biometric appointment ? Or just passport is enough ?

Thanks

It will be good practice to go along with a USB containing the scanned copies of your uploaded documents. This will ensure you get opportunity to correct or reupload any documents should there be an error or omission in what you have done already.

You can't take or connect to their sys via USB. They won't allow this.

That was my thought to about malware etc till read on here applicants go to appointment with USB. In any case if doubtful of that, go with your originals.

Problem is I have got some original in UK and some in Home country. I can't take originals.

It is so confusing as the biometric appt checklist says bring documents but then says you can upload them as well
