Reply To: Does a visa need to be activated

By vinny on Aug 13, 2019 12:51 am

Should be okay for her to remain as a dependant. However, given 25A and an absence of cancellation under 30C, I am uncertain if she may rely on or switch to Tier 4 without first exiting prior to expiry of dependant leave and reentering the UK on her Tier 4 visa?

Does a visa need to be activated

By Katy Fischer on Aug 12, 2019 06:18 pm

I have a client who was in the UK on a Tier 4 dependant visa. She left the UK during the validity of this visa and applied for entry clearance as a Tier 4 student. Her dependant visa was not cancelled. She entered the UK on the dependant visa a month before her new Tier 4 visa started.

Will this cause a problem for a long residence application?

Reply To: Able to upload documents to VFS Global using Visa4UK?

By Alex Morley on Aug 12, 2019 04:00 pm

Sending to the scanning centre is not the only option though. I have been uploading documents for both the VFS Global TLSContact systems. The TLS is more user friendly and more straight-forward. VFS Global was harder work but once one or two are under one’s belt then it gets easier.

Adoption in Iran

By Vikass on Aug 12, 2019 03:59 pm

I believe that adoptions in Iran are not recognized in the UK. Any suggestions how the child adopted in Iran by a British citizen can join him in the UK?

Not really, Child settlement and overseas business rep still go through Visa4UK and that is the only way..

Has the case been certified as clearly unfounded, by chance ?

Reply To: payment twice for wrong form

By IL on Aug 12, 2019 12:37 pm

I have successfully lodged the 2 x SET(O) applications this summer on the basis of the PRE-2012 DL.

The most recent case was even lodged via the 24-hour Super Premium Service.

It has to be the SET(O) form, in my opinion.

We had a similar situation, only the opposite to this – applied on a FLR (DL) for settlement following 6 yrs DL pre 2012 and told to do SET (O) as applicant had never claimed asylum. If your client was told to complete a different form, i.e. FLR (DL) the SET (0) fee should be reimbursed as it wasn’t refused. we had the FLR (DL) reimbursed.

Reply To: Surrinder Singh and Extended Family Member

But haven’t the regs been amended to incorporate Banger:

or am I missing something else? Amending regs came out 6.3.19 so perhaps just too late for the 8.3.19 European Parliament notice to acknowledge? Came into force 21 days after being laid.

Reg 9(2)(d) should now read

‘(d)either—
(i)F was a family member of BC during all or part of their joint residence in the EEA State;
(ii)F was an EFM of BC during all or part of their joint residence in the EEA State, during which time F was lawfully resident in the EEA State; or
(iii)EFM was an EFM of BC during all or part of their joint residence in the EEA State, during which time EFM was lawfully resident in the EEA State’

Reply To: Self scanning

By brian mitchell on Aug 12, 2019 10:48 am

I also experienced something similar – couldn’t book an appointment, kept saying ‘no appointment available’. I then called TLS and was told that Visas4UK is no longer applicable and must use the gov.uk to book an appointment. Was also told that clients will need to pay to have docs scanned, including family reunion applications.

Spouse Entry Clearance

By Yogita1234 on Aug 12, 2019 09:33 am

Hi, the applicant is a USA citizen and is applying for spouse entry clearance to the UK. However, he will be working in Madagascar for the next 3 months. My question is whether at the time of applying we state his permanent address in the US as opposed to his temporary address in Madagascar and most importantly WHERE he should book his appointment to enroll his biometrics. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.
