Hi everyone, please I will like to know which exact address I should send my spousal visa settlement supporting documents to in Sheffield. I have been seeing lots of address and I don't want to make mistakes. Am currently in Nigeria. Thanks

newbie715:

Ok...truth is I sent the supporting documents to this address last week Monday which was August 24 and till now it hasn't been received because i have been tracking it. I always track it and all it says is your item has reached its POBOX and its awaiting collection/ delivery. That's the message I have been getting since last week. Pls how long does it take them to pick up the documents from their POBOX? Coz I don't know what to do next. I did my biometrics since and am worried.

Thanks

I got this from ukba two days back(same day as my bday): The decision to refuse your visa application has been overturned and our office is now ready to issue you a UK Visa. To complete this process we require that you submit your passport to our office at:

International Operations & Visas
Sheffield Visa Section
Vulcan House Iron, 4th Floor
6 Millsands
Sheffield
S3 8NU

It is recommended that an international courier is used to submit your passport.

Justwise thanks so much for those mails,God bless you. I pray it wont take so long to get my passport back after fighting settlement visa appeal since Oct 2014.

hello all,

someone previously refused because salary was cash in hand and was not reflacting in bank statment

then waited 6 month and deppsit money in bank every month. so what are the chances to get visa this round??

can be any complexity in this? i meant when eco refused visa because of salary so they can be stamp that company fake that maybe the applicant made fake or the company maybe fake although the company is real genuine

do u guys they can reject again

justwise:


That may look suspicious because every genuine company in the UK pays salary through the bank and post the payslip to the employee or email it. Cash in hand jobs are illegal and a way of avoiding national insurance and tax payment

phaara:


yes thank u right but the company (indian resturant nationwide) is genuine they have PAYE method also emplyee gets payslips

justwise:


The company may be genuine but their activities are illegal, cash in hand payments is way of avoiding a lot of things and it's illegal. Students working too many hours go for cash inhand, illegal immigrants go for cash inhand, job seekers allowance claimers go for cash inhand, company trying to avoid paying tax pay their staff cash inhand, the list is endless. A company that pays cash inhand has something to hide.

Hi guys,

Maybe not the best place for this question, but here I go.

A month ago I received a notice that my visa (Tier 2 - General) was refused because the ECO did not accept my English Language certificate.
I have a Certificate in Advanced English, dated 16/05/2006, which according to ECO expired in 2008.

On gov.uk website I found a table (Secure English Language Tests - Transitional) according to which the Certificate in Advanced English has no expiry and can be used in all applications until 5th November (if the test has been taken on or before 5th April 2015). I also submitted all the supporting documents (certificate, statement of results, candidate ID number and candidate's secret number), so I am positive that I am on the right side here.

Two weeks ago I submitted the Administrative Review request and now I am waiting for a response.

What you guys think my chances are to have the decision overturned and do they really respond within 28 days?

Thanks.

Lexusgs430:



BACS is the only approved means of salary payment. Any company that pays cash, is constituting an ILLEGAL activity.
Paying your cash - in - hand salary into a bank account, does not and would not equate BACS salary payment.
You should actually be a whistle-blower against this company.
NB: The chances of getting this visa, considering your above question in % terms is - 0%/100!!

phaara:


ok i will convay your message but how can u say chances of any person u getting n depositing in bank and meeting all necessary criteria will have 0% chance?? any offical link ukba explain for this type of sitiation or anything they explaind regarding refusal if someone fall in this situation

Hello everyone,
I got my determination letter on the 1st of August 2015, since them no news from them, so my wife and I decided to send out emails to visasheffield@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk and also ukvi-international.faq-help.com. We did not receive any thing from Sheffield, but I got this email from the international email address yesterday:
"
"We have not received our copy of appeal determination. On receipt the
timescale is 8 weeks to conclude the case.'"

Are they right or I should ignore them, why I am not getting any reply from Sheffield office? The email we send to Sheffield office we scanned the determination letter and send it with the email.How long the process normally takes. Mine is spouse settlement visa.
Thanks,
Se
