Priority Service - UK Spouse Visa - India

Post by inderjeet101 » Sat Feb 23, 2019 1:15 pm

Dear Members,

I am currently in the process of applying for a UK spouse Visa for myself. My wife is in the UK. I have completed the online application and paid the IHS and Visa Fee. I have also booked my biometric appointment at VFS Hyderabad. Now I wish to make the payment for PRIORITY service. I registered at the VFS UKVI India commercial partner page. I am facing some problems with the following:

1. How do I enter my GWF number? VFS hows only some random reference number which starts with ‘F’.
2. By mistake I saved an appointment time slot at VFS page. Now Its not allowing me to proceed further to payment or select new time slot.

I request all the forum members to please help me out with this. I have the biometric appointment for 25th Feb 2019.

Can I pay the PRIORITY fee at VFS Hyderabad via Cash or Card directly when I go for my Biometric?

Thanks
Inderjeet

Yes, you can pay the priority fee in cash at the vfs center before u enrol you biometric!! Make sure you pay for settlement-priority fee which is around Rs.57000 !!

Hi Ankit,

Thanks for your response. I have already booked by biometric for coming Monday afternoon. You mean to say when I arrive there for the biometric process, I inform them at the reception that I need to apply for a PRIORITY service?

All other fee is paid online on visa4uk portal. I don't understand why the VFS portal is so confusing. Anyways, thanks a ton for your response. Appreciate it.

UK NARIC CEFR Level C1 - UK SPOUSE VISA

Post by inderjeet101 » Mon Feb 25, 2019 2:22 pm

Hi Friends,

I have got my Masters Degree certified from UK NARIC and they have certified it to be equivalent to CEFR Level C1. Does this satisfy my English Language Requirement? I am not sure about the Levels of CEFR. UK Spouse Visa requires CEFR Level A1.

Looking for clarification.

Thanks
Inderjeet

C1 is a higher lever than A1.

Did you only do the English assessment, NARIC Blue route or did you do the comparable assessment as well using the UKVIC NARIC Red Route (costs £150)??

I have got 2 different letter from UK NARIC

1. First one states the CEFR Level C1- English Assesment.
2. Second says says "UK Qualification Level - Master's Degree". I guess this is the comparable assessment?

I hope this would suffice my overall requirement for UK Spouse Visa.Looking forward to your response.

And yes, I paid a total of £152.

But you will also need NARIC issued letter of proficiency along with what you already have.
