VFS self upload from the US - problems?

Hi all. I'm in a Facebook group specifically for Americans applying for the UK spouse visa, and everyone seems to agree that the VFS self upload almost never works, and to mail in the information to...

Re: Yet More Payslip Woes

Re: Yet More Payslip Woes

Yes, that's where I'm confused. It has lowered my gross pay, according to the payslip. I will attach this most recent one, and another for comparison

Re: 1st month not a full paycheck - not counted?

Hi everyone, thanks for your replies. I'm actually not applying until January, just trying to be prepared. I started my job on the 8th of July. That first month's paycheck wouldn't be enough, so I...

1st month not a full paycheck - not counted?

Will it be six months from my very first pay cheque that we can apply for a spousal visa, or 6 months from my first FULL pay cheque that we can apply? I started 8 days into my first month, so my pay...

Re: Lots of questions about priority and fees

Yes, this is what I'm thinking too. Any idea why you were told to pay for it on the VFS site and not the UKVI site?

Re: Lots of questions about priority and fees

In that case the ASC in St Louis should suffice, correct? Since I am not interested in the $2000 Settlement Premium Package, but the $750 Priority Visa for Settlement. Sorry to beat a dead horse,...
