Thanks a lot for your response. Please will it be possible to pay for the upgrade at tls office if it’s needed after declining the notification to upgrade online?

Hi all.

Please I did a Flexi appointment for my standard 6 months visa application last Thursday and it was received by DMC the next day. I'm going for a one week work business meeting fully sponsored by my employer which is going to commence on the 6th, next week Monday. Now my questions are these.

1. Do they consider the time required for your travel when sorting and attending to standard applications or it's just first come first serve?

2. If there's no response on my application by close of work on Friday, will it be later rejected on the premise that the date of the meeting has passed even when everything else is okay?

Your response will be greatly appreciated.

Hello gurus in the house, please do I or the employer have to pay IHS fees when applying for a healthcare visa?

Deeofdeebeauty:

Thank you.

If you’re applying for healthcare visa, there’s ihs waiver. Other shortage occupation pays ihs except for healthcare

Hello Everyone,

My Husband is trying to apply for a visit visa for my family and i and it's really important we go on this trip.
My Husband is the sponsor of this trip.. He is a business owner..He just started paying himself salaries about 4 months ago (His account balance is a little over 3m)
1.can he state that his company would fund the trip?..Will this fly?
2. Can he do a transfer of the funds we would need from his company account and explain in the cover letter?
3. How much can he state that we would spend on this trip? (Accommodation inclusive)for a family of 4 for 3 weeks?
4. How long does a standard visa application take currently?

ENGRPETER101:
please can someone with tourist visa carry two big bags along when travelling to uk

giselle237:

Yes. Works for some individuals
Then they should be able to prove via pictures and other evidence that it is not a made up story and is actively trading etc…

1. The company should not be funding the trip for the whole family. Business funds are for the business and not for 4 family members to use at their beck and call.
2. Better for the board secretary or board member or official to write the letter and say this is his allotment for holiday expenses as is due him per company policy bla bla . Again business funds should not be used to finance the personal allowances of you and your family is the way they see it.
3. Not same amounts as kids have less expenses eg lower flight tickets and would stay with their parents so wont have a different accommodation allowance.
4. At least 15 working days
At the beginning you say it is really important you go for this trip? You should be able to quantify the importance of this trip , the intentions behind the trip, why, what you would be doing and why you are not going to the other countries of the world as UK is not the only travel destination.

Teemom:
Thank you @giselle..I stated that this trip is very important because it's more like a condolence trip of an immediate family member

1.can he state that his company would fund the trip?..Will this fly? - It is better to sponsor with personal account

2. Can he do a transfer of the funds we would need from his company account and explain in the cover letter? Yes

3. How much can he state that we would spend on this trip? (Accommodation inclusive)for a family of 4 for 3 weeks? Depends. Tickets alone will cost average of 1,000 Pounds due to the exchange rate now. Maybe 2K for adults and 1,500 for the children

4. How long does a standard visa application take currently? Average of 15 working days.

@giselle237, @cashmadam, all the gurus in the house..please I need your inputs.. thank you.
