thanks for support. Yes ive noticed that as well. i called the worldbridge to ask them why they have not updated the information on UKBA but the lady just put the phone down on me.

If the service is like this may allah help us all. I will phone them on sunday about this. I think if we keep phoning them about this they may see some sense just keep ringing and ringing and somebody will pick up the phone eventually.

My wife she will be applying from egypt for spouse visa but we have an issue because we didnt apply for our sons passport as we thought we could do this after as he will be british anyway but the online application is asking either for a uk passport number or a registration number of his consulate registration from when he was born which we didnt register him for anyway.

My husband is applying from egypt too. Maybe you should ask an immigration advisor//lawyer about what to do? I used one for my application.. it helps.. because they know their stuff so you know you cant make any mistakes.. i strongly advise it.. helps alot. They do the whole application for you.

They really should keep it updated! Its been like that since January now! She hung up on you? :s wow.. what service...

If you need any help with your application let me know... this spouse one has been the 7th now for my husband lol

The 7th wow now that sounds interesting. During the process say i was to lose or change my job do you think they look at that. Is it a bad thing if i was to lose or change my job. I sent a message to worldbridge service about this so they can sort the site out we need that thing working lol email them through here https://www.visainfoservices.com/pages/SendAnEmail.aspx

It is very interesting!! Only one was successful :/ lol! Id assume they would pick up on it... assuming you would be on payroll and your circumstances change.. there may be some sort of rule saying you would have to inform them if anything changes. I think ive read that somewhere before.. otherwise if you lost your job and you withhold that from them and they find out.. it might create a problem.

Hi all,

congratulations for everyone who has granted the visa.

and good luck for who are still waiting.

I have applied on the 1st of march for fiance visa, in Cairo, Egypt through Worldbridge in order to join my fiancee and getting married in UK hopefully ISA.

my question is; is it important to get a call for verification in order to get the visa granted ? so without that verification call u won't granted the visa ?

as my fiancee didn't receive any call till today

is there is any one who get visa granted without that verification call?

any issues

Thanks in advance.

Hi there

No its not essential. People are sometimes granted without a call. But it seems common recently that they do call... But its not always the case. There was a girl on her she received the call but got refused! Theres no way to tell sadly... Is your case straight forward?

Go on the ukba website and look at the processing times.. Ull see how long it took them to respond under certain visas in previous months. Time will fly.. Trust me :) try to not think about it! Ana el7amdolila my husband is here now :)

That all looks ok to me.

As long as they can see you have enough funds and a place to live and that your relationship is real .. you shouldnt have a problem isa :)

My husband was denied 5 times under different visas(student and family visit) before he got his spouse visa LOL ... he was granted one before though (family visit).. so its his second one now.. so im sure you will have no problem haha

Hi shaz, so sorry to hear about your experience. Why was he refused? Were u given right to appeal? Is it still valid? If so, personally, id advise you appeal... Private msg me if you want. I have quite a bit of experienxe with those buggers at ukba lol :) id advise you use an agent.. Its expensive but its worth it.

nope amira, I disagree wz u, as from what I have seen on internet appeal takes much longer, where is might goes to 9 month or even more. so it is better is to reapply and fix the errors. but u should know the appeal is free, and reapply cost the same price for application.

This is what i thought.. He was denied 5 times and we kept reapplying fixing errors but they just came up with new things to deny him with.. With the appeal u know they cant talk about anything else but the reasons they have given you.. I spoke to two lawyers (i used one to apply for the spouse) and they both said when u dont appeal it suggests that u agree with them because u dont fight it.. Only problem is it takes longer!! And noone wants that!! But its not a really bad thing .. We didnt apeal 5 times and got the spouse without a problem :) hope that helps everyone!!
