You don't need to cancel it , because this application online doesn't go anywhere. All you need to do is apply online again and make amendments to your appointment in Worldbridge or VFS centre with the new reference number that appears on your new application form.

If you can't amend your appointment online just cancel it and make a new one with new reference number. I think this reference number is most important to them when you go there.

No problem, wish you success.

So let me bring your attention to this guys

While filling the VAF5 online form If u are a student and don't work
question number 54

while studying do you work part-time or full-time ? answered as NO

then question number 127

Do you intend to work in the UK ? answered as a YES

Automatically makes question number 54 --> Yes !!!
and the opposite also is true
So
Answer question number 54 as a NO
question 127 is a NO automatically

Now i understand why I had this issue with my initial VAF5 appplication
as I thought I missed it but actually I didn't the system tricks us !!!

No problem.

To be honest with you this application on UKBA website should be completely reformed, they musn't ask you those questions at all, It is against the spirit of EU Law. Hopefully something will change soon...

But I owe u the thanks mate because if it wasn't for your suggestion i would've never found out about this technical glitch with the application, I almost thought I didn't see it so as my wife but now it shows that the system is built that way I wonder how many had this, I bet the ECOs are using it against applicants !!
