If one has a 2/5 year visa can one be practically living in the Uk for that period? Say spend 6 months leave for 1 month, go back and spend some time there again? I don't have a 2/5 year visa. I'm just curious. What happens to those types of people? Is there a rule guiding it?

hello all Good evening, please i would need your wisdom and experience in analysing my situation and advice appropiately
i have attached my real reason for refusal which i got today, and i intend to apply again addressing it but with a different approach.
I can not provide proof on the huge deposits because its from one of my other savings account to the other (i explained this to them but apparently they wanted more)

so i have decided to not use one penny of my personal money in my new application, i have decided to use my fiance and her mom to fully sponsor my trip. (my first application i budgeted 700k for my trip coupled with 1500 pound from my sponsor plus accomation and feeding on my sponsor). i'm still going to attach the same documents i used for my last and add a few more like a recent better job offer with prospects as stronger ties to home.

I want to know if my sponsors taking the full cost of my trip would address the reasons for the refusal and how soon can i apply

Thank you all

Did you get the rejection via email?
I don't advise that you apply anytime soon. Sorry about this and better luck next time.

Well, I have reapplied

Magnifque01:
Guess its certain to say we with unused 6 months visa due to covid can go ahead to process a new application as nothing as been said regards it, anyone in this category?

Good evening house. I want to clarify something. When you apply to renew your visit visa does the validity of the new one start on the date you specified or immediatley after the one you have expires?

Getmeout:
Just collected my visa. Applied on July 29th, Tier 2

Congratulations!! Replacement visa?

Good evening. Because of the coronavirus, I couldnt use my 6 months visa so I reapplied last week to go in october for my birthday. I submitted the same kinds of documents I submitted the first time. I was wondering, is there any reason why they shouldnt issue the visa? I know these people can be funny.

Good morning all, pls o have made a terrible mistake, I was uploading my documents and I submitted before the final upload, I have a lot to still upload, what should I do now, am actually crying right now

Let them know at the TLS office so they can help you upload the rest. You might have to pay for this service sha. Someone should confirm this please.

Keep My Passport When Applying

This service allows you to keep your passport the maximum possible time during the visa decision process.

The basic points of this service are:
1, you still need to bring your passport to your appointment, but it will be given back to you before you leave the Visa Application Centre.
2, once the decision of your visa application has been made by the UK Visas and Immigration, you will be notified by email, then you need to provide your passport to the Visa Application Centre (by post or in person) within 28 days. If you don’t provide your passport within this timeframe, your visa application will be refused.
3, once received, we aim to complete the application and return your passport within 7 calendar days.

Thank you

Good day everyone. I want to change my proposed travel date but I have submitted my form online. I havent gone to TLS though. Is there anything I can do to correct this? Also, how does Keep my passport work? and how many days after I am told to submit my passport do I get it back?

Good morning house. Please is there a way to change something on an already submitted ukvi application? So on the form, I wrote I want to travel in October, but it looks like airport will be open before then. Is there a way to change it? I haven't submitted my documents at TLS though? What do you advise please?

TheAfrocalyse:
Same with me o! I left there not too long ago, visa issued.

Congrats o! Visit visa?

Good morning house. Please what's the average wait time for visas now?

Good morning house. Theres a rule concerning sending bank statements but I cant remember. Is it that the bank statement must not be gotten more than 2 weeks before youre sending it? Or whats it?

FYsol:
Yes. Offer letter does not guarantee you are still an employee there. Introduction letter confirms your current status.

Thank you

Hello all. Is it compulsory to get a letter of introduction from my office? I already have the offer letter. Do I need both?

mimilyrics:
No extension to visit visas has been announced.

I dont understand. Have they announced "there will be no extension to visit visa" or they havent announced it yet?

Good afternoon o. please is there anything being put in place for extension of visit visas that werent used due to coronavirus? Abi we should just go ahead to reapply?

Good afternoon. Please how can one contact the british high commission via phone?

Good afternoon house. I applied for a visitors visa and got it in february to go for holiday. Its 6 months and expires in September. I rebooked my ticket for middle of next month (August) hoping the airport will be open by then but I am also wondering if it will be open by that time. Do you advise I start a new application process for renewal or just wait? I still want to travel this year. Also how many months before a visa expires can one apply for renewal?

May UK not toll this path

Amen oooo! Does this affect people travelling to the UK through the Schengen region? I'm meant to go to the UK and I have a stopover in Germany for about an hour.

Hello house. Please how does one count the 15 working days? Is it from the day of biometrics or the day you get a mail that they have received it at UKVI?

House kindly assist with this. Also I was just scanning my bank statement. It is about 50 pages. I was on my 20th page and it told me that I could only upload maximum of 20pages for the quality of upload. How do I go about this please?
