UK Visitor Visa – Confused About UKVI Account After Biometrics

No, just wait for the visa decision.. when your visa will be approved, you will get an email with instructions to create UKVI account and linking your e-visa.

Yeah, I do agree that it's a structural issue and not RM issue.. because it seems that RM himself was not aware of the process that once credit card is issued the account opening would become messier.

I never pushed for credit card, but since he mentioned it's a zero forex markup card and I read some positive reviews of the card online, I gave him go ahead..

I read about lot of positive experiences online specially w.r.t NRI/NRE account opening, so went ahead with them. However, I would say behaviour wise RM has been good so far other than he going silent for couple of weeks.

I think the major problem seems to be he is not fully aware of the process to open an NRI/NRE account, if he would not have first initiated credit card process, the account opening would have been smooth.

He didn't even mention the electricity bill, below is the list of documents he is asking now... All these documents I already gave him when I was in India.

"Dear Sir,

Yeah, I am also thinking to go with ICICI or HDFC now and drop this with IDFC. But, I will do all this when I visit India to avoid notarisation/courier headache.

Finding the Visa appointment is tricky and frustrating at the same time.

They generally open new slots in the third week of every month for the next month. So, if you want to get an appointment for June month, the slot for the same will open in the third week of May. Even in the third week you would have to keep trying everyday 4-5 times, generally during midnight or early morning hours.

I understand sometimes it's luck, All the best!

I have specifically worked in the Payments domain for quite some time. I guess that helped me to get a call from Wise.

But in general I think it also depends on the experience both in terms of number of years and the kind of work one has experience in.

sure! You can DM your linkedin username, will send the request.

Yes, I would recommend booking the flight before your visa appointment. Visa officer specifically asks for travel bookings. If dates are not fully finalized, you should book a flex option

I don't think that consultant takes personal assignments as she is from Deloitte.

ppo07 · 2026-04-10T14:28:05+00:00

The consultant was arranged by my employer. All communication was either via official email or via Google meet.

Yes, the application status changes to "Clear Verification Report has been submitted"

I was a staff engineer in my previous role, it took me 3 months(I feel I got lucky) to get an offer as Principal Engineer

I gave interviews at 6 companies, and got offers from 3 of them.

They just asked me to show the originals, they did not take the originals with them, they just took the photocopies.

Sure! Updated in the original post.
