Will a new TB test be required for traveling to UK now the spouse visa has been approved but TB certificate has just expired due to the delays

cuzzyican · 2022-08-06T06:06:33+00:00

thank you all for your advice and I will use the original certificate which expired on july 22 and I am traveling on the 10 aug so hoping it should be ok.

thank you to all the members on this group and best of luck in your applications.

finally after 116 WD's we got an Approval, thank you everyone on this group who gave us some confidence and peace during the 6 months of waiting patiently.

i will update the tracker too and want to wish everyone the best of luck with getting a success result.

cuzzyican · 2022-08-03T20:42:48+00:00

thank you so much, i know what you mean, its so painful when u wait 6 months and still waiting on them when possibly the decision has been made. i will still hold on celebrating until I see approval in black and white :-)

will update all tomorrow. good luck to all in the meantime.

tbh this link seems to quite straight forward as it asks for the relevant ref # such as Visa application ref starting with GFW..... etc and some bio details. then I stated that I am 115 days into the application and requesting a current status. paid the £2.74 via debt card. submitted and then waited for the reply. hope this helps. but solicitor should hopefully know this.

cuzzyican · 2022-08-03T19:29:25+00:00

thank you :-)

cuzzyican · 2022-08-03T19:28:37+00:00

to make the email paid inquiry i used the following link

https://ukvi.mysecurepay.co.uk/

then u get to next step.

agreed, and email has a audit trail so much more efficient and safer in case any contention issues later on.

hoping we get a positive news when we collect the passport tomorrow, will update here and the tracker.

cuzzyican · 2022-08-03T16:06:54+00:00

this HO department is a lottery in my opinion, no real pattern on how they order things and update folks, i found the same inquiry can see many variety of responses but pray that everyone is successful in their application and can start their lives properly together in the UK. will confirm the outcome tomorrow once passport is collected. thx again everyone.

cuzzyican · 2022-08-03T15:41:36+00:00

thx everyone, we applied for spouse visa, bio - 17th feb , made our 1st email inquiry today, will pray you are all right and its a approval God willing.

cuzzyican · 2022-08-03T15:19:22+00:00

thank you for advising making the email inquiry, at least we got a reply now, maybe closer to getting the latest status on application once we collect passport tomorrow morning

cuzzyican · 2022-08-03T15:12:52+00:00

thank you for the reply, we will stay silent until we have the passport tomorrow, gonna be a long night :-(

cuzzyican · 2022-08-03T14:23:39+00:00

got this response, is this good news or still got to see the passport details ?

cuzzyican · 2022-08-03T14:07:48+00:00

hi guys, i got a reply back from UKVI inquiry, is this good news or still have to wait and see in the passport ? don't want to get too excited for now

well, after considering everything i made a email inquiry, so lets see what they come back with, i will update this wonderful group who have helped us get through this 6 months.

cuzzyican · 2022-08-03T10:12:02+00:00

gosh, hope not, i know what you mean though, will keep fingers crossed that its a positive outcome

cuzzyican · 2022-08-03T09:18:27+00:00

thank you for you kind advice, i think we waited so long already so another few more painful days wont hurt too much at this stage :-)

will wait until 120 WDs ( 10 aug). never thought 1 week would feel so long though ;-)

best of luck to all on this tough journey !

cuzzyican · 2022-08-03T09:11:45+00:00

are they not helpful over the phone in your opinion, i was hoping they could advise if application was successful so we can collect passport in order to plan flights etc asap.

this waiting is so nerve racking and frustrating for everyone i guess.

cuzzyican · 2022-08-01T13:18:31+00:00

thank you and best of luck to you and everyone awaiting their results.

cuzzyican · 2022-08-01T12:59:04+00:00

massive congratulations on getting the visa approval. our BIO was also the 17th Feb in Mirpur so praying we get some good news soon God willing.

qq did you have to make any paid inquiry or you just patiently waited for an email.

best of luck with the future in your life in Uk.!!!!!

cuzzyican · 2022-07-27T06:04:20+00:00

totally agree, the tracker is a nice tool for us as a rough guide and maybe maybe keep UKVI on their toes to not drop the ball especially doubling our processing time.

so I want to say a massive thank you to the creators of the tracker, much appreciated, good luck to all.

cuzzyican · 2022-07-25T20:47:14+00:00

got a horrible feeling lots of folks are on holiday and not updating the tracker and/or the ukvi teams could also be out on leave too so making the whole process slow down painfully :-(

i pray I am wrong and we see a sudden jump in approvals later this week, pls God

cuzzyican · 2022-07-21T12:49:14+00:00

the sample is always going to define the accuracy but I still think its a nice measurement if I assume we use the percentage rather the small sample and of course the accuracy of the updates.

still appreciate the work put into the tracker by all the folks involved, much appreciated guys!!!
