Hi I am a new user here but have been following this board from some time I have applied for settlement (spouse) visa. Online application 14 August 2015. Biometrics 10 September 2015 and documents sended to Sheffield 15 September 2015 but didn't hear anything from ukvi after.my question is shouldn't I be recieving a acknowledgement e mail that they have received my documents and I even e mailed for stAtus and reply comes yet to be assessed. Can some 1 plz answer my question thanks in advance.

Malik88, yet to be assessed most likely means they have your application received and they haven't processed it yet.
With regard to acknowledgment, they do send most of the times that 'case has been received.'

I have applied for my husband, I'm a bit worried as I went back to pakistan after about 3 years to see my husband but I did go see him before reapplying will that be a problem

If you submit enough evidence of your last visit
I hope you will be fine.

Can someone please send me a screenshot or explain where the NHS refund button should be?

[Malik 88]

Thanks monadii and ftse 100 so that means I should wait now my documents are there if the acknowledgement e mail don't come that's not a big deal.

As far as I am aware, no refund option is available for applications that were made after they changed the process of paying for the surcharge. This was only for applicants who were required to create a separate account to pay for this but now we pay for it all together with the online application. I do not have any refund button on my application.

We made a separate account and paid through that. So the refund button should apply to us.

Hi everyone I have a question regarding my case that I have applied for spouse visa and my wife is working full time income well over 18600 and we have a child as well but she is claiming housing benefit as she is living on his own in a flat and benefits for the child as well as she was entitled to these benefits after having this income as well.My question is can these benefits effect the case as she is earning the income more than the threshold (18600) and is entitled to these thanks in advance
