Re: Lots of questions about priority and fees

So I'm opting to use a USCIS application support center so I may not be the expert, but I think I've put together that at Premium Application centres, you can only use the Settlement Premium service,...

Re: Have you ever lived with (your sponser) within or outside the UK?

I spent 9 months with my partner in the last year, but I said we hadn't lived together, since I don't imagine the HO would take kindly to me claiming I "lived" in the UK, as a no-visa-having tourist....

Re: Questions about VFS/ACS, and Scan or Mail

Spoken from my experience right now, here is how the process is unfolding for me:

Re: Questions about VFS/ACS, and Scan or Mail

Could you possibly clarify something? I am confused, if the Stamped biometrics sheet, priority receipt, application printout, should also be included in what you upload? Or do those things only need...

Who has most recently applied and has guidance?

Hello,

Based on a response on this forum and elsewhere, I'm piecing together that AccessUK does not give any mention of mailing documents to the VFS Scanning Hub. AccessUK is only listing 3...

Re: Questions about VFS/ACS, and Scan or Mail

Great, thanks BlackScholes. What's trickier, the visa or your namesake equations?

What exactly did you pay for with VFS? Priority Visa Service, anything else? And you uploaded all your supporting...

Re: Questions about VFS/ACS, and Scan or Mail

This is the resource we both needed:

Re: Spouse Visa Bank statements

If you print statments yourself, a bank manager needs to stamp both sides of every sheet. If you get them from the bank, they need to be on official stationary. I would think you could request they...

Re: Lots of questions about priority and fees

Hi - this is one of my remaining questions as well (when/where to pay Priority). I have been repeatedly advised NOT to pay both. My working assumption is that if you pay for priority on the .gov...

Re: Document checklist and Application questions

The only fee that is added is the price of priority. The various packages are not for settlement visas (so I understand, need to call). Altbough there IS one that says Settlement package, but I'm...

Ah, I see. Another piece of confusion. I now see, that I was looking at a list of US Department of Homeland Security centres, not VFS. Indeed, VFS in Texas is in Houston alone. Yikes, that's a 5 hour...
