1. Does my wife need to provide a full list of absences during the last 5 years or the time period more than 2 weeks required in the online application is sufficient?
The question asks to list more than 2 weeks absences only
2. At this point, is it still suggested to attend UKVCAS appointment or use the app?
IDV is the past except for T4. You must book an appointment now
List in the form. There is no absence limits on spouse visa.HSMPnonJRtoT1 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 4:36 pmThanks, Cullinan as always.
In my wife's previous FLR(M) applications she always provide a separate excel sheet for all her absenses. I guess it is not necessary anymore? I have a question however, In this case, how does UKVA count total amount of absenses for each year, for example, not exceeding 180 days?
HSMPnonJRtoT1 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 10:11 amFinally, my wife's application is submitted today and the appointment is booked. We are at the stage of uploading documents and there are additional questions below
1. While We booked appointment and we also added the "Document checking" service. It says we need to upload all our document 48 hours before the appointment. Does it mean that if all document uploaded today/tomorrow, we can still make changes of those documents as long as it is 48 hours before the appointment without affecting the application, ie adding the document missed, moving documents from one category to another or removing wrong documents?
Yes
2. How do all applicants deal with oversized files? For example, in our case, the full passport copy scan with 300DPI is over 6MB which is the maximum size, do you suggest to lower the scan resolution to 150DPI? Is 150DPI a good resolution the application? Or I better split the big sized document into small chunks less than 6MB?
Use PDF compression tools or make two files
3. Can I scan all payslips in one file or better in separate files and one for each month? The same question for bank statement.
Better to keep files to a minimum. The more organised the better. So make 1 PDF file for all payslips and name the file accordingly
4. ukvcas document upload category
It is not very clear to us what UKVCAS and UKVI are expecting us to categorise our documents.

It is no longer required since the same will be taken during biometrics enrollment.HSMPnonJRtoT1 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 3:14 pmThank you!
Is it no longer a requirement to provide passport sized photos for the applicant and partner with signature at the back for the ILR application by uploading them to UKVCAS site or bringing them to the appointment?
1. In your case it will be after appointment.HSMPnonJRtoT1 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 10:04 amThank you seagul!
Further questions please. In UKVCAS site, when we go to "Upload your documents" page, we now have the option to "Submit your uploaded documents to UKVI"
1. Does UKVI will work on the application as soon as the submission or they will only work on the application after the appointment?
2. Do we need to "Submit your uploaded documents to UKVI" before the appointment?
3. We have ordered the "document checking" from UKVCAS service, is the checking taking place before or after "Submit your uploaded documents to UKVI"
The more organised the better. Name the file accordingly.HSMPnonJRtoT1 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 10:58 amThank you srsw! That makes sense!
This might be a final question. I know I can scan all payslips in one PDF file. Can I keep all correspondence letters to one PDF file also?
Yes if you wishes so provided the allowed size remains maintained.HSMPnonJRtoT1 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 10:58 amThank you srsw! That makes sense!

Only for certain visa categories and SET M isn't on the list as eligible.I only noticed today that uk super priority service is available again.
No.Is there any chance my wife can take advantage of that to get faster decision?
