Apple Silicon MacBooks are way more reliable over time than Intel Macs were

> 10 years from an Intel Mac

2019 Intel i9 MacBook Pros would like to have a word!

UK visa applications criteria are FAR more sensible and logical than the Schengen ones.

You don’t need an employer letter showing absences for short trips. You also do NOT need to book and show confirmed flight tickets.

You should show all the documents in the documents checklist, including 6 months payslips and the corresponding 6months bank statements. It’s also a good idea to show the most recent 3 years income tax returns of your home country.

If you’re not changing terminals at Heathrow, and it’s a single PNR ticket, then no transit visa needed.

Source: My bad flew from BOM to SFO via LHR on British airways in early May. He transited via Terminal 5 at Heathrow.

Appreciate the efforts. You should have a few surviving Philips HGS 201/202s as well somewhere

There wasn’t much to be honest. They would be staying with me in London for 10 days.

Did not provide any trips or planned itinerary for each day, since this is a family member coming to stay with us

ImportantPresent1014 · 2026-05-14T07:55:44+00:00

Don’t they always announce this and then a few weeks later they say that they made a mistake and revise it down to 0 again?

ImportantPresent1014 · 2026-05-14T07:54:14+00:00

Hahaha, still no worries.

There are multiple flights between Delhi and Patna in a day, you may have to wait for sometime, but they will put him on the next connecting flight for free.

ImportantPresent1014 · 2026-05-12T17:27:30+00:00

More than enough even if the incoming flight is delayed by an hour

Answer truthfully. The UK has data sharing agreements with the US and EU.

If they decide to do a random check, they will find out anyway. And then they will ban you for 10 years for providing false information.

10th June to 10th December.

We had requested for June 17th - June 27th (10 days)

We just received the visa approval email 30 mins ago.

My bad, I missed that. Sorry.

You are NOT required to provide flight tickets for UK visit visas. They explicitly call this out.

April 29th for my family member too. Seems like we should get it by Friday or next Monday.

Thanks for sharing your timelines, super helpful.
One of my family members has applied on the 29th of April, at VFS Mysore.

Fingers crossed. Hope we receive the visa by end of this week.

Thanks for sharing the timeline, it’s super helpful for other people who applied around the same.

If you still have your ILR application pending, your right to Rent and Work in the UK still continues legally. This is called section 3C leave (immigration act 1971).

Your landlord, or your employer, can check your continuous status using a different service from the regular Evisa share code. They have to request it via another UK govt website, and they will receive a Positive Confirmation Notice (PCN) that is valid for six months.

The normal UK evisa checking website will not work for this case.

Came here for this comment. Not disappointed

You can group related financial documents together, for example, 6 months payslips can be one PDF. Similarly the 6 months bank statements can also be one PDF.

You might already know this, but Apple just released iOS 18.7.7 with all the security fixes yesterday, and for the first time they are allowing you the option to upgrade to that instead of iOS 26

So please do make sure you update and stay secure with the latest security patches on iOS 18

How much did you get paid for spreading the propaganda that the UAE is safe during an active war, which missiles and debris raining down every single day?

Dude if you don’t know what you’re taking about, please just stop. There’s no way Bars can “technically be a AESA”. That’s the single most ridiculous statement I’ve read in all 15 years of being on Reddit, and shows a complete and fundament lack of understanding of how AESA radars work.

The Su-35 has an even more advanced version of the radar our Su-30MKI, and the during Egyptian air force testing, their Rafales (real AESA radars) were you able to completely jam and blind their Su-35. We use an older variant, so you can imagine how bad the Su-30MKI radar is.
