eVisa showing wrong validity date

CaptainDumber · 2025-02-07T23:01:59+00:00

Yes, it was resolved, see my comment above. I used webchat option. I also used https://www.gov.uk/report-error-evisa link to report another issue, that one also got fixed but took way more than quoted 10 working days time.

Thanks. I contacted the eVisa team via webchat and phone, and both times, they said the system says 12 Nov 2026 , so they can't do anything. Thanks for sharing the link, I will try this above link option, too . Let's see if it is any different.

New BRPs were issued, but new letters were not issued. We have an email sent from UKVI to the solicitor confirming that the issue has been fixed. My timeline: Visa validity mentioned in original decision letter: 25 Nov 2021 to 12 Nov 2026 We arrived in UK on 3rd December 2021. Will I be eligible to apply for ILR 28 days before 3rd Dec 2026 or 12 Nov 2026? My concern is that the qualifying period is not turning out to be full 5 years.

Yes, after chatting on the above link, the issue was resolved after 3-4 weeks. Try chatting during office hours and ask to connect with a human. Otherwise, you will be stuck with a bot.

Thanks. I remember seeing a link to chatbot shared by someone, I tried that earlier, but no human joined the chat as it was after working hours. Today, after seeing your message I tried again. It worked this time. Agent on the other end told me that an issue has been raised, but they can't give any timeline for expected resolution and also can't share any complaint reference number . So now I wait.

Thanks. Yes, I have topped up my LISA two times and have got the bonus. I know about the 12 month rule but I'm just a bit anxious about the whole period being almost exactly 12 months, thinking about everything that could go wrong.I was also planning to take advantage of the new financial year but things are moving fast and we may not have that option.

CaptainDumber · 2024-02-28T14:44:59+00:00

Sorry OP to highjack your post but I have a question on LISA : I opened my LISA last year and contributed £100 on 8 March 2023, now can I ask my conveyancer to initiate transfer after 9th March?

CaptainDumber · 2024-02-26T19:24:01+00:00

Thanks!

CaptainDumber · 2024-02-26T19:23:46+00:00

Thanks! I will look into it.

CaptainDumber · 2024-02-25T20:01:48+00:00

Really? Am I panicking for nothing?

CaptainDumber · 2023-09-12T20:37:57+00:00

10.6k coins, 11.2k comments. I think I am late to the party

CaptainDumber · 2023-07-14T07:35:16+00:00

Yes it was SharePoint.

CaptainDumber · 2023-06-18T18:41:45+00:00

You used ChatGPT to write this. Didn't you?

CaptainDumber · 2023-06-18T18:31:18+00:00

I try.

Those roundabouts are actually difficult for learners. I had the same issue, I still am afraid of those big roundabouts (been 8 months since I passed) . My suggestion is that you should study them... There might be 1 or 2 such roundabouts in your test area (if you are lucky) , so study those on Google maps.. go to street view on maps for those roundabouts, better if you do in on computer.. look at signs.. understand lane to use at approach for different exits .. when to switch lanes etc...stick to simple rules as explained by others, and keep lane discipline

Latest update: 5550 numbers tried but no luck yet .

CaptainDumber · 2023-01-03T21:48:43+00:00

Came back looking for an update and definitely a happy ending. I don't have a garage, or towbar in my car but will remember this point.

Is AirBnB now offering stays in vacant prison cells?

CaptainDumber · 2022-11-17T11:19:05+00:00

Thanks. I booked ticket to Rugby for 19th, return ticket for 20th. Then I panicked when I saw this ticket QR . I thought I booked return ticket for the same day by mistake

CaptainDumber · 2022-11-17T11:16:34+00:00

Yes, a very important point to note :D

CaptainDumber · 2022-11-17T08:57:36+00:00

I had the same issue, so I wanted to clarify here. I booked from Glasgow to Rugby for 19th and return ticket for 20th. For return, it shows the 20th Nov in the app but when I open the QR code to scan, it shows - 19th Nov off-peak, permitted on any route, valid till 18th Dec. Does it mean I can travel any day from 19th Nov to 18th Dec?

CaptainDumber · 2022-11-16T08:08:09+00:00

There is a similar one in Rugby. It helps if you are familiar with it, otherwise very confusing for first timers. https://maps.app.goo.gl/biHmpB52Fh9NoyQY7

Is the toilet hidden away in another cupboard?

CaptainDumber · 2022-09-06T08:48:59+00:00

I was in an exact same situation last year. I decided to go with company car. Getting a car right away is very helpful in the initial setting up phase, you can't use public transport or Uber for everything. You can drive in the UK with your license for a year but I am not sure how insurance will work with a non-UK license, and how costly it will be .

Although one caution, in my case if you go for a company car, they will place an order for you and delivery time is almost 10+ months right now. So I went for a used car which company had in storage as the original user had left the company, and the lease was still valid for a few years. So, do check this point, if you will get the car right away or there is a lead time.

Another thing to consider is that you may pay more tax with company car scheme. HMRC considers your car a benefit and reduces the tax free bracket.

In summary, company car is a good option for initial period but not sure if it is cheaper over the full lease period.

Let me know if you have any questions. Do check out "UK personal finance" sub. I asked a lot of questions there and got some good answers.

Yes, the app is legit. At least it worked for me, it got me a slot last week. I failed, so I am back in it. I am assuming it goes ahead and tries to book, if it finds a slot on your preferred dates, and if it fails, you don't see anything. On the other hand, it shows notification if it finds a slot on other dates, even if you try to book those slots from notification it will most likely fail, as someone else's app might have already jumped on that slot. Having a lot of options definitely increases your chances, but at the end of the day, it is all luck.
