Some good news and some bad............

Moy, good news is that the form you have is still valid until the end of October as stated by the checking service we are using in London

Bad news is for all those who who gave Moy unnecessary stress and worry, in future wait till you know the facts before guessing

Would the checking service that Moy will be using say the same? Or will the employee who would process the application thinks the same? As a fact, UKBA employees don't always have the same knowledge about the rules, that's why a lot of problems are always happening. Lots of members here have been told different info everytime. As always the forum will advice in reducing the risk of refusal of the applicants. That includes using the right and most updated forms provided by UKBA. In the website, you won't be able to see the old form (dated Dec 2012) because they are using the new form valid date of Sept 2013.

Time is very tight, that's why we all must do it as soon as possible ,because problems like this can and do happem

i know stevewool but we have different scenario in life not all the time we can just do things we wanted as much as we want to do it quickly as possible

Would they say the same.............. I don't know for certain, but I would like to hope so, that's what you pay them for.

No questioning that, the forum is a great source of information, advise and moral support.

As I am in the same situation I was trying to help I said I was ringing the checking service this morning as I did. What I said in my earlier post was for Moy not to get stressed and worried as I would have the correct information this morning. As it is she lost a nights sleep with worry and had to fill out a new form, all for the sake of waiting 12 hours overnight.
I'll keep my opinions to myself in future, as my help doesn't appear to be appreciated.

What's the problem Joe? Why the doh

You gave some good advice yesterday

I'll say it one last time, I was trying to help Moy and not have her worrying and stressing overnight as I was ringing the checking service this morning.

[joebloggs]

when applying for visa, its all about minimizing the risks of delays, getting your visa app back because its invalid or worse refusal.

falling at the first hurdle should never happen, make sure you use the correct form and its still valid

some people who didn't

Joe can i pm you? very imp

[stevewool]

If you went the checking route that day it is checked and sent the same day, so the 24th date you would have been safe and knowing it is all done correct too, just my thoughts moy

[stevewool]

Simon we are not all great at giving the right advice at the right time, but some of us can be here just so that person can have a moan at, lots of advice is given freely to everyone who wants to listen to it, does it make us all bad people, I don't think so

[Moy]

[Michael Parnham]

Moy, if it asks for your last five addresses, that's exactly what you provide wherever you lived. hope this helps, please don't get stressed and try to calm down!

just seen this, thou it doesn't concern settlement visas, it looks like they are allowing a 3wk transitional period, thou i would have thought it would depend if there was a major change in the new app then i doubt there would be a transitional period.

as always use the latest version to reduce the risks of a problem arising.


In a statement from the UK Visa and Immigration Service they said: “Applicants should use the new forms if applying for a UK visa in these categories on or after 1 October 2013. However, we will continue to accept applications made on previous versions of these forms up to and including 22nd October 2013.”

I've always and consistently advised to :-

- use the most up to date forms

- use the National Checking Service

As with most things in life there are always those who find exceptions.
Dealing with UKBA needs extreme care. It is not an agency with discretion or compassion.
