Standard Visitor visa vignette missing from passport

[jainvikas8]

Hi,

I applied for a standard visitor visa (6 months), in early July 2023 for my mother and BRP done at VFS.
We received the passport, but no vignette stamp or letter explaining (checked e-mails and spam) if there was a rejection.

I also checked online - https://www.gov.uk/apply-to-come-to-the ... pplication if the visa was digitally approved, but there was no evidence of it.

So, has the UK Standard Visitor visa moved to dispatch BRP separately or was it rehjected with no reason?

Any thoughts if there is a change in process here?

Thanks,
Vikas

No BRP is issued for a visitors visa.

Other members have reported the same problem. When that happens they usually contact the application centre where the applicant provided biometrics. Visitors visa vignette

[jainvikas8]

Is the vignette issued separately?

Is the vignette issued separately?

No, it is pasted into the passport!

[jainvikas8]

Thanks, hmmm... seems like the visa application got rejected. As the passport came without it. Would be interested to know why it got rejected.

So just an update, got an e-mail on the Rejection of the visitor visa.

Considering my mother is retired and has some savings with her own house.

Your application for a visit visa is refused under Paragraph V 4.2 (a), (c) of the United Kingdom Immigration Rules

It's just sad that they could have requested additional documents (tax receipts or utility bills) with regard to the intentions, rather than rejecting it for a simple visitor visa.

Now it is a further pain for a 60+ year at the border control and taint on her passport.

Documents requested after the application were all supplied.

She should have submitted everything. Additional documents are not requested at all generally for visitor visas. It is the applicant's responsibility to submit everything to prove all ties to home country and evidence of source of financial amounts claimed in the application.

Unclear what exactly she submitted unless you state exactly what has been submitted or submit the FULL text of the refusal (taking out personal information).

Bank statement were provided showing proof her savings, as this in document checklist

She is a owner of a house and retired. Mostly a house wife dependent on husband's income, so in this circumstance what proof could have been provided?

Notarised statement that she owns a house and dependent on her husband with utilities bills?

[jainvikas8]

Documents provided:
Applicant:
* Bank statement
* Passport
Sponsor:
* Bank statement
* Letter
* Payslips
* Passport
* Mortgage statement
* ILR - BRP

Which is good according to the document check list.

Utility bills or tax receipts are not required - and not recommended to submit - as supporting documents for a visitors visa. That's stated on the UKVI website!

The letter is very clear, the application was rejected because almost no evidence from the applicant was submitted to support it. If she owns a house, why you didn't submit the ownership document of the property? Any assets under her name would definitely make a difference.

The supporting documents from the sponsor are complementary. It's the applicant who needs to demonstrate finances and ties to their country of origin with appropriate evidence.

[jainvikas8]

The property documents where not submitted as the asset was not asked. Probably a statement to 'Show ties to your country' would be good in document checklist.

Anyways, Thanks, will retry again.

£5000 for UK trip???? is she coming to stay for 6 months? U put a doubt in ECO mind that she will not return after her visit.

The list may not say it implicitly however implied. Burden of proof lies with applicant and seeking clarification before application always a good step

I doubt that would be an issue, because a ticket cost these days are reaching a £1k.
Please kindly refrain from putting these types of comments. Thanks.

Its my honest opinion and experience to deal with uk visit visa. can u justify here £5000 expense for 1 month UK visit. If u r providing her accomodation and food? which is already paid for by you.
My concern is dont put this kind of figure again. if somebody has £6000 savings in account and want to spend £5000 from it will raise the eyebrows of ECO.
ECO deals with hundreds of visit visa appliation every week. They know what is what.

When u go or let say I go on holidays, we look for cheap air tickets not the expensive one. 2nd look for reasonable, affordable hotel not the expensive one. If u r a millionare than that another story.

I got my mother visit visa after 2 refusals, read my previous posts. No solicitor , no firm invloved.

Dont take anything personal. we are here to help each other.

[jainvikas8]

The assumption here is wrong, the visit was for 3 months.

The funds were for her including flight, other travel needs, and medical expenses.

Anyways we could go on here... but the tone of the first post wasn't good. And I didn't take things personally, if it was then the response would be more personal.

Thanks for the comments and will go through your post later.

Again 3 months r too excessive to visit someone.should be around 4 to 5 weeks max in visa application. Visit visa is not that simple as we think.

I believe its more difficult to get uk visit visa than any other visa category. As other categories u meet or fullfill certain requirements and u get the visa. but visit visa is more complex category.
