UK - SETTLEMENT VISA application last June 2017

Congratulations!

I just found out you need the orignal marraige certificate for the CFO, I hope you sent a scanned copy or you will need to get a new one.

• Apply for spouse visa - Sept 04 2017
• Priority service
• Scan my docs at vfs manila
• Day 18th today

Still no news from vfs

Fingers crossed it will all goes well

hi @peach --welcome to the site. its early days yet--many applications are already 60+ days and still counting.

Hello @bigmac thank you!

Ohh dear! I apply for priority service too. I don't think it will expedite.

Hi all! I just want to ask those who sent their documents through VFS, how did u pay for the scanning service? I already paid for the premium lounge service online but couldnt find how to pay for scanning service.

hi Kareena. You can pay the scanning service in the VFS during your appointment time. The teller will assist you the process and they will also enquire if you will avail the Courier service of 2Go or you will pick up your passport. You can pay both of these services over the counter. Good luck to you.

Thank so much.

One more question, did you receive an email receipt for worldpay for the ihs payment? I havent received one. Do i need to print that or i just need to show them my ihs number? And for the visa payment, do i have to receive a receipt as well?

Did you pay for the Premium Lounge at the same at the VISA, I was sure I selected it but can't see it i any of my email confirmations. did you get it confirmed on your visa confirmation email

You pay the premium lounge at the vfs website not at the visa4uk website. Then u will get a receipt for it. It's generated when u pay at the vfs website. They dont email the receipt for the premium lounge.

its been 4 months, still waiting. received an email from ukvi that they aim to make decision before oct 31, hoping to get positive result

Had the same email. Have zero confidence it will happen.

hi surey thanks for your reply,what do u mean "have zero confidence"?

does it mean eventhough they email me such thing, it doesnt have assurance that they will give a decision on that date?

I'd be very happy if we got the result this week. The email makes no guarantees it will happen by 31st october
