The UKVI link only recognises your credentials (GWF or IHS Reference) AFTER decision has been made.
If you try it when they haven't made a decision yet, It will ALWAYS tell you it doesn't recognise the creds.

God is good ooo and thanks @justwise for this forum and to the wonderful people of this house. Our Visa has been issued. Still waiting for 2 for my daughter's but I believe it will be issued also. Though I had submitted my application b4 I got this thread, I was able to use lots of advices. Like 3 weeks or so ago, I had to tell hubby to get his co tenant to write a letter that he's aware of our relocation and is ok with it and that the accommodation will not be overcrowded.

You will finally hear from them unfortunately not at the same time for all 4 applications, i got no idea why they separate it the way they do but this is common.

Lamakinde:

I used only tls, I tried the other one too but wasn't successful. Just hold on and check the TLScontact checker.

ronvlaar:


Yea, I get and that's what I've been doing..
Thanks anyway

Lamakinde:


I believe they have done it already. I understand how your madam feels, mine was like that also.

Okay dear, yes I am responsible for my maintenance, it's just a 4 year PhD tuition fee covered. My brother the truth is that I don't have that maintenance again as we borrowed the money to use for visa processing and we have returned the money.

My husband and baby actually applied after I got my visa but they were denied visa. The reason given was that no enough evidence of relationship, even though we put our marriage certificate and baby birth certificate.

We have put in for administrative review for them but I am also preparing my self incase it doesn't come out positive.

So now we will have to borrow a huge sum to show for the 3 of us again if they have to reapply. Nah wah oh!!!

Thanks all the same, at least now I am aware of what's before me. Thanks dear and God bless.

Hi guys please I need your urgent and immediate help and advice.

I applied for my spousal visa last 2 weeks (Priority) and my spouse a British Citizen living in the UK has submitted the supporting documents, however, I just came across this topic and saw where a poster wrote he had applied for settlement - marriage and had to change it to settlement - husband.

I called my hubby and told him and he said he was sure it was settlement - marriage only for him to call his lawyer who told him it was settlement - wife.

I am a bit worried now but the lawyer advised I wouldn’t be rejected on this basis that we should write a letter to them stating the error and asking them to provide the link for the health tests or so...

Their application plat form is so confusing, Settlement marriage, settlementwife, Settlement husband, civil partnership etc damn!

Anyone had this experience?

Aphrodite007:


Can I advise you to relax, get your NI and a care job and start working. After 2-3 months, you will have that amount of money to bring them in. These applications are expensive, it’s best to make sure there are no loopholes.

Please I have a question @lexus . Is it possible to make decision in your 7th week even though you did not pay for priority. How accurate can that sort of result be.

GodandVal:


My people..I thought I should update you on my situation from my previous posts, seeing as a few of us have made the same mistake of selecting Settlement - Marriage category instead of Settlement - Wife / Husband.

I received an email from the Sheffield office today with the IHS link asking me to make the IHS payment by 29th November, which I have now done. My hubby was dancing when I told him about this. He seems to think my application is going to be approved now.

I’m really hoping that by making the IHS payment, even after this error, my application gets approved..and soon. Fingers crossed!

bestbian:


Thank you so much dear, I have NI number already as I have previously done masters some years back in UK.

Already arranging for a live in care job to pay me 450 pounds weekly.

The company said they will only put 20 hours on my pay slip. But I will be paid 450 pounds weekly. As a PhD student, I don't have to go to school always so can arrange with my supervisor.

I just want to help my family to come in quickly, it's not easy staying here alone when you already have a family especially a kid involved.

Thank you for your encouragement, I really appreciate. God bless.

Aphrodite007:
Someone please help me out with this. My spouse says he doesn’t pay bills. He just sends the money to his housemate’s account and the bills leave his housemate’s account. But we can’t ask the housemate for his statement of account, that’s very intrusive. Is it mandatory for him to show the bills payments? I don’t know what to do.

Isommex:
@mamalicious pls when do you submit yours again as it looks like we from the same classroom.

Isommex:
@lexus am so scared right now.
