If the HO didn't specify exactly, then it is a generic email they send as an 'excuse' for delaying. (my interpetition) Anyway, the same happened to me but they eventually sent the visa. Certifying maintenance means you don't need to attach a bunch of long bank statements. It was written on my CoS, s...

You must have holidays+remote work from overseas permission. I suggest using a combination of both. Just get a letter from your Faculty admin team if you need. Anyway, I spent 45 days overseas with my line manager's approval. For proof, I have just an email from him. Immigration officer didn't enqui...

Mods: is sharing links allowed?

Thank you.

I also think it is just an error but an afraid mind just goes in all directions.

Yes, I will apply for the administrative review within 14 days once I receive my BRP by mail.

Hi, Just an update. The length of leave is also stated as 3 years when I checked it online.How could they do that when I have 1) CoS for 5 years 2) I paid for 5 year visa fee (1500 £) 3) NHS for 5 years I applied before the IHS fee hike. As part of visa services are privatised, did they do it delibe...

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, my CoS is for 5 years (Mar 2024 - Mar 2029).

I am not still successful in logging into the evisa site as the NFC cannot find the chip in my BRP. I will try a different phone.

It will take 7-10 days more for the BRP to be delivered by mail.

Hi, I have received an email from the Home Office about my successful application. However, it shows that I have been granted a visa for 3 years instead of 5. Though I had applied for 5 5-year visa with all the fees for me and my family (3 applicants). I think I have a review within 14 days after I ...

Is your wife applying with you? If not, why are you submitting this? Your parents information and IDs are totally irrelevant. Why you have included this? No. We have to file separate applications as she is overseas now. I included those details as it was in the application. If only YOU are applying...

Hi again, So, I provided details for my wife (Passport and marriage certificate) and parents for my application (IDs). Should I ask all 3 to sign Part 2? For my wife's application: I will upload our marriage certificate, my CoS (maintenance certified), bank statement (mine), her parent details (IDs)...

Thank you.

Hi, I have applied from within the UK and whereas I have applied for my wife and kid as from Pakistan (though I filled out the form). When I was filling in my wife's form, it asked for the UAN number which I had. For my under-18 daughter's application, it is just asking for the VAF and GWF but not U...

Hi Guys, I am applying for a Skilled worker visa, and then I will apply for my wife and daughter as dependants. The family consent form [https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/documents/family_consent.pdf] is puzzling me a little. For my application: I will sign for Part 1 which is Consent for the...

Thank you. That will help to write an email to them as verbally they say it won't matter. Now, I have a good reason.

Hi Guys, The first question is that I have CoS starting date (Work start date) to be 18th March. We can apply 3 months before that? as the HO website says. My main question is the name of my spelling. It is according to my passport in the personal details. However, under Migrant's Employment-PhD, fo...

The IHS fee hike/increase bill has been approved and concluded.
I think from 4-5th Feb, the new IHS rate will be applicable.
https://statutoryinstruments.parliament ... e/7Up5lZZt

Hi, There is a chance the hike will take place not before 31st Jan. The reason is the debate is still in progress and the latest debate is on 10th Jan. If it is accepted on the same date, the implementation date will be pushed back to 31st Jan (21 days after) https://statutoryinstruments.parliament....

The house requirement is given here. [LINK REMOVED] Just keep in mind that even reception rooms are counted as bedrooms. Less than 10 years old are counted as half. I think the parent house should work but not sure how. A piece of friendly advice (Mods delete if necessary): have your marriage earlie...

You can apply in the U.K. and they can apply from Pakistan. There is no need to return to Pakistan. Your applications are linked to your application by the fact you have to be granted first and they follow in line. Thank you for your answer. Here you mean that 'their applications...' ! So, we canno...

Thank you for the clarification. I was hoping for that.

so far, the status of this bill
https://statutoryinstruments.parliament ... e/7Up5lZZt

Hi Guys,

I have checked the calendar not thoroughly though. There is no more talk on the IHS increase before winter break.

I hope the fee will not increase till 16th January.

https://whatson.parliament.uk/lords/2023-12-12/

It was just debated today.. Some clarification is needed as HO hasn't justified/proof as the quote doesn't match "At the moment, however, the real issue is how many of our migrants are going to face this enormous surcharge in the NHS fee, which has not been justified in any of the documentation...

Statutory Instruments are not necessarily debated. It is very rare that an SI is sent back to minsters. @secret.simon has described how this works. https://www.immigrationboards.com/immigration-for-family-members/how-new-law-will-affect-on-going-cases-t341701.html?hilit=statutory%20instrument#p2139...

There are no dates when this page was made..it says still it is not a statutory statement.

Came across this yesterday https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9920/ Apparently the Government is making plans to have 'Transitional arrangements' for those who are already in the UK and they may be exempt from this. Please see below the question that was asked in the parlia...
