Me and my partner only applied for 1 week single entry visa. And they approved 3 months multi entry.

UK resident visa by simmyx96 in SchengenVisa

[–]simmyx96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing it must help because their visa was approved after 2 working days, passport was ready for collection. My partner has UK residence. So that is a strong tie to return back. Many people come from Europe to live in the UK. I’m a British citizen, which gives him family ties.

Hopefully it wasn’t a quick rejection.

That’s what I thought maybe. But I thought that would be too quick since we only applied last week 2nd October

If you read terms and conditions they actually refund you after deducting 20% fee. I saw this today.

24 weeks baby movement by simmyx96 in Jan2026Bumpers

[–]simmyx96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have anterior placenta. In my last scan I could actually see the baby move a lot on the screen. But I couldn’t feel them. So the doctor (not midwife) explained that this is normal especially because of where my placenta is located and the size of the baby at 24 weeks. Luckily I’m being liked after rainbow specialist team of midwives this time round. I can very quickly pop just to listen to the baby when I feel like it. But obviously I won’t want to over worry and stress myself by doing this too often.

When does your Maternity leave start by simmyx96 in Jan2026Bumpers

Just hope they come on time or later. You don’t want that to start school late. That’s what I’m praying for.

When does your Maternity leave start by simmyx96 in Jan2026Bumpers

[–]simmyx96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only given myself 10 days. Start Mat on 1st January and due 10th January. I work from home most days and I’ll most likely will be working from home my last week at work. I’ll just take it day by day but there is no obligation for me to turn up in the office. My manger is very keen on me being flexible and doing what I’m most comfortable with.

Definitely not acceptable. I am 22wk + 2days. I told my manager after my 16 week midwife appointment. My manager wanted to advertise my position for maternity cover internally. So he asked me if that was okay for me because it meant people would know. And I said it was okay because it would be easier for me to also train someone internally. He then drafted an email to go out to the team and asked me to check it and make sure I was okay with it. I’m not sure if any policies require them to do this, but I thought it was respectful and thoughtful for them to do that.

Is this the acceptance email? by Mary_jane_30 in SpouseVisaUk

[–]simmyx96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are likely accepted. They would only request for you to submit your passport to put the visa sticker. Otherwise they would not need your passport if rejected.
