r/ukvisa

Does anybody be else out there (in the uk) think there should be a vote (referendum) on whether the Uk tax payer should have a choice about paying their money to fund asylum and immigration ?

My wife was born in 1993 to swiss mother and father was UK citizen. The parents weren't married, but the father was always a UK citizen. We live and work in Switzerland but my wife likes the idea of being a British citizen along with her Swiss citizenship. We visit UK regularly but She hasn't lived in UK for 5 years though and doesn't have plans as of yet to move to UK permanently. Could someone pitch in on this. The UK visa page is very convoluted and we are having a hard time deciphering some of the conditions.

Please let me know if she has any chance of succeeding.

Hi everyone,

Is there anyone applying for ILR in the next two months, or anyone who has already applied within the last two months, who meets the parameters below?

First Tier 2 Visa issued: 2021 ILR eligibility: 2026 SOC code: 2134 (Software Developer) Salary: under £39,000

Clarifications needed: Under these circumstances, did you successfully get your ILR? Or, if you are about to apply, are you going ahead with these exact figures?

If yes Could you please comment or DM me? I would like to clarify a few things.

Thanks!

hi all!
i will try to be brief. my husband is & has been the breadwinner, so pretty much all of our bills and statements, including the tenancy, are in his name. he won't have any issue providing his evidence, but i'm a bit nervous about mine!

i have a bank account, so i can include bank statements across the time i've been here to fill in any gaps.
i have a letter confirming my NI number.
the only other thing that i have that i can think of using is a paper i received the other day from my GP for a bloodwork request.

as i understand it, considering we don't have any joint accounts, i will need 6 pieces of evidence each.
i am unsure if the bloodwork request will count, even though it is dated, has my address, and is from my GP/NHS.
outside of that, all i have is my NI number & bank statements.
i have a letter from when i get my provisional license, but it is undated, so i don't think i can use that.

is it likely that a bunch of bank statements + my NI letter + bloods paperwork would be accepted?

we also did a marriage allowance transfer, but i do not have a letter of confirmation or anything. i made a personal tax account with HMRC, and i do see the marriage allowance claims, but i'm not sure if there's any way to access specifically dated information about it, or if i could just use the page printed as PDF as proof. if anyone has any information about that, i would GREATLY appreciate it!

if i've left out any important information, please let me know!

Hello everyone, I need advice. I want to invite my mother to the UK. My daughter, who is on my dependant visa, has already had her visa approved. Is it possible for my mother to travel with her if her visitor visa is approved? When I was filling out her application, there was a question asking whether she is travelling alone, and I was not sure whether to answer “yes” or “no.” Also, should I mention in the invitation letter that she will be travelling with my 4-year-old child. Thank you

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for a UK Standard Visitor visa. I already completed my online application and wrote that I would stay at a hostel that I had booked.

However, after submitting the application, my friend in Glasgow offered for me to stay at her place instead. I don’t think I can edit the application anymore.

Would it be acceptable to upload a cover letter explaining that my accommodation plan changed after submission, and include my friend’s invitation letter, address, and proof of her status/address in the UK?

Or would it be better to keep the original hostel/hotel booking and stay there, since that is what I wrote in the application?

I want to be honest and avoid any issue with inconsistent information. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Thank you!

Hello me and my son’s visitor visa will end at August 27.
Im giving birth here in Uk this july 3rd week and I need an extension for my visa as I will be unfit to travel with a newborn and a caesarean section.

My husband is a British citizen already
We were planning to extend my visa
And apply our son (2 yrs old) british citizenship which used to last for 15 working days. Now it changed to minimum of 6 months and we panicked as we didnt expect it to change that long.

Should we extend both our visas or i dont know what step should we do now.

Any advice or help?

As the title mentioned i want to restart my education in Uk i completed my 12 years of education in 2014 since then i have been working but recently i resigned and my wife ( living in usa) wants me to start education. I am not sure if Uk accepts this huge gape. The reason i want to go to UK is because my brother lives there and i wont have issues for residence etc

i recently applied for a uk visa with my father mother and sister , my father and mother are renewing theirs and me and my sister are goin for the first time , all our documents are corrected and financials are all right as well , we all are goin for our brothers graduation and we all have a reason to return my father to his buisnesses and me and my sister to our studies, i made one mistake that was not mentioning a 48 hr transit visa refusal , i did howver mention other refusals i had , for a visitor visa is this gonna cause me any problems , its been over 15 buisness days that ive given my biometrics any idea what i can do or what ky chances of being accepted are , me and my family do have a good travel history

Has anyone applied for a UK Standard Visitor Visa and uploaded only the certified English translation of a property deed but forgot to upload the original document in the local language?

Did UKVI ask you to provide the original later, or was your application decided without it?

I’d appreciate hearing about your experience. Thanks!

Hi,

I need some help please, from anyone with the knowledge/experience I would really appreciate.

I am a British citizen and I have a partner who lives abroad but we have a young child together who is also a British citizen and lives with my in the UK.

For sometime now we have been trying to bring my partner over to the uk so we can be a family but it seems impossible.

I am a qualified nurse but I am unemployed because there’s literally no jobs out the at the moment. I have applied to numerous jobs but no success, I have even applied to care/support worker roles and no success. I have not given up and I am still actively looking for a job so that we can apply for spouse visa and bring my partner to live with us in the UK.

But I am really starting to lose hope with the job hunting and without it it’s impossible to apply for spouse visa and that will force myself and my British child to move away from our extended family from the UK and relocate to where to partner lives so that we can be a family and that will not my in the best interest of our child or our family in general.

I receive child benefit and also universal credit.

Is there any hope that we could apply through Article 8 family life and exceptional circumstances visa route or any other routes for that matter?

PLEASE WE REALLY NEED SOME ADVICE AND GUIDANCE.

Not sure where to turn or who to ask, but would really appreciate any help with getting family (Partner and son) over to UK. Our brother is currently in full time care and has been for 10 months at the time of posting. Partner and son outside UK, what are the best/most practical ways to get them here to settle and take care of him. Our brother is on UC (DWP) but awaiting PIP. Does he qualify to bring them, if so what does that look like with the current earnings criteria or lack of home/housing for his partner and son? Our brother has settled status.

Immigration solicitors seem very costly, even just for a consultation, let alone any actual case work.

Our questions are:

1. Is there a way for our brother and his family to be reunited?
2. What does that look like?
3. Does he currently qualify under the current earnings criteria?
4. How does he even start the process?

Thank you 🙏🏽

Hello I’m just confirming that you can spend up to 6 months in the uk without a visa. I think you need proof of funds and accommodation right? Anything I’m missing?

Hi everyone, I'm applying for a UK Student visa from Portugal, where I'm a legal resident, but I'm currently on a temporary visit to Turkey. I'm doing my online application here in Turkey in to save time but I've run into a problem with one of the application questions.

It asks for my most recent trip outside the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland and the EU. My most recent trip is Turkey, where I currently am. It then asks:

When did you enter this country and when did you leave this country?

The problem is that I'm still in Turkey, so I haven't left the country yet.

The form won't let me leave the departure date blank or accept a future departure date. It also won't let me continue without entering a departure date.

Has anyone else run into this? What did you do? Did you wait until you had returned to your country of residence before submitting the application, or is there another workaround?

hi! ill be traveling to the UK this month and im a little nervous as i dont really know how an evisa works. so i was wondering if anyone can share how their experience was like?

i was hoping to find out if you guys printed out your evisa or if they needed any additional documents during the immigration check? did they question you much? like do we have to show them anything or is it all already in their system? yeah im quite nervous about this (its also my first time travelling alone) so i would really really appreciate any help on this!! :)

Hello everyone,

Basically title. I am starting the process to request an unmarried partner visa, and as a EU national I can stay up to 6 months. I regularly travel to the UK with an ETA. This would be my first visa in case it is granted, and I know the response usually takes about 8 weeks without priority. I have permission to stay at my partner's house in the UK.

Can I travel to the UK and submit the application from inside the UK, or am I forced to request it from my country?

Thank you to whoever decides to answer my question :)
