Good evening ummuna, hope everyone is okay.

Has anyone recently applied for and received US visa from the UK? I'm in a middle of a work travel opportunity to the US and I'm slightly worried about the visa process (eligibility and timeline) to align with the travel dates.

Please share your experience! Thanks!

Yes, individuals are regularly receiving US visas from the UK for work purposes.

You have to withdraw your appeal before submitting a new application otherwise it will be considered invalid.

If not withdrawn, case officer may (may not) ask you to withdraw before working on your application. But general guide is to withdraw.

Good afternoon everyone,

Has anyone here applied for a Skilled Worker visa while having a pending appeal with the Home Office?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience and how long it took home office to make a decision on the new application.

Thank you!

Funny how you are agueing against revoking citizenship for terrorists. A true patriot huh? Further, I don't think 1st generation immigrants should be able to vote or hold political office. Second generation the vote only.

The current PM is to be blamed for the rise in this nonsense, pandering to all their whims. For me he should go and let even farage take over, let’s just know that we are kuku in this era instead of all these corner corner. These folks are everywhere in the world but it depends on the govt in power how their influence grows!

Yea … that this level of stupidity is still alive in 2026

You are going too far with this… these people don’t have the ability to think this far

Yes but there are also the elite with influence, power and resources who also think like this and that is what I am more worried about. Don't think this kind of mentality ends here.

They are the ones funding them actually, it’s a lot of logistics and cost to put this together!

The wealthy guy who said migrants have colonised Britain no be street guy nah. Just shows where their donations are all going to now!

Farage, Trump, Tommy and Kemi are to be blamed for this.

Just wait if this PM goes, you may be shocked he’ll decamp to Reform!

And where did I say this........ 🤔

Apologies if I mis-ascribed a position to you.

Where this started, was a Nigerian national who committed large-scale fraud in the UK possibly being deported. No?
There was a question about that possibly happening even if he had dual - British - nationality.

My entry point was "not possible" - unless in cases of treason or terrorism and statelessness couldn't be in view.
You raised cases that are outliers and involve treason and\or terrorism. The case in question was debateable, which I agreed.

I am actually happy that the default position for serious crime by immigrants should be deportation - not just terrorism or treason.

Lest I make the same mistake, what exactly was your point by introducing those outliers? What is your position on the whole? At the verry least it seems to suggest, that "certain" UK Govts could proceed to do something illegal\questionable against minority immigrants if they could get away with it.

Zahra29:

Yes.

We permit entry to people from diverse backgrounds and with dffering beliefs - in large numbers. It's quite clear, that for many of those, politically at least, conduct and participation vary in ways that are inimical to our long-held tradition and practices. Even if that wasn't clear previously, it is now.

And, I accept, there are some that would fit right in. But the protection of our institutions and systems is paramount. A few generations to settle in and understand won't hurt .

A friend got denied 2 weeks ago for visit visa and the reason was due to the new rules. Hopefully you’ll get lucky since it’s for work

British Military Face Scandal As DNA Evidence Links Soldiers To Hundreds Of Abandoned 'Light-Skinned' Children Across Rural Kenya

Didn't know of this. Thought FWRG was the lowest at 0.15%. This at 0.12% looks quite good. I'd see if my brokers offer it.
BTW, do you see the reversal on board?

Yes, I moved from another broker that didn't offer it to IE and although it was a faff, over the next two to three decades that I intend to keep DCA'ing, it will be worth it.

On the reversal, frankly I've just stopped looking at the markets as much because although things are in flux on a day to day basis depending on what Orange Man tweets, my assessment is that the worst instability is past and things should be mostly stable going forward.

When they apply the usual suspects will say they're not really British and when they are attacked on the streets some folk here will blame them and say it's not the fault of the attackers it's because of "underlying causes" 😄

I understand the thrust of your argument, however it's a tricky one as there are some who will never assimilate or see Britain as their home, even though they are an nth generation immigrant, while others will be a 2nd, and perhaps even 1st gen immigrant but will be fully integrated, contributing and loyal.

Why do you think they will be "attacked on the streets" - presumably because of their race and/or nationality - or are you thinking perhaps of the goings on in South Africa?

Have you been "attacked on the streets" for being black in the 4 years you've lived in the UK?

I understand how easy it may be for you to forget. Here, refresh your memory - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_riots. Also - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/riots-uk-muslim-asians-rotherham-manvers-hotel-b2591159.html. You're welcome.

As to whether I, personally, have been attacked, I have not (although I did have to accompany my wife to/from work for a couple of days during the riots) but that's irrelevant (par for the course with you and your beloved strawman arguments). Generally, I'm not the kind of person whom the yob who were rampaging around would feel motivated to attack. Those children on the other hand...

As expected, but good to hear nonetheless.

Please explain the bolded...curious why the rampaging yobs wouldn't be motivated to attack you, but would attack the mixed heritage Kenyans?

Ultimately the question is do we want this country to retain and advance on it's received traditions? The morés that engendered the liberties, freedoms and prosperity we enjoy today. Behaviours and practices from many of the incoming cultures are alien and regressive and will change what we have for the worse - given the large numbers being allowed in.

And please, don't get me wrong, I believe a deleterious unmooring from these historical roots and the subsequent malaise had already begun. Mass untrammelled immigration and the attendant issues are just symptoms, accelerants, not the root cause.

Unassimilable migrants should never have been allowed in. More broadly compatibility, loyalty and patriotism is a rightful expectation of anyone who moves here. My positions are all in the best interest of the country. And in that regard, everything should be on the table.

Zahra29:

I did acknowledge that, but needs must. Sorry, not sorry. Because if not, we will be. Why on earth do we have sitting MPs who are running on foreign issues, councillors who are dual hatting in foreign countries.
