Funny set of people who are ignorant of the duties of the Home Secretary and the guidelines and laws established to ensure that all categories of visas are approved or refused following laid down procedures.
This same system has also created avenues by way of PAP, review, judicial reviews, upper court and tribunals to seek redress if any of the set guidelines are not followed.

Keep speaking like barrels with false content. NHS NHS NHS.

Maybe the applications you were doing were student visas. Please don’t say the wrong thing. ALL SKILLED WORKER DEPENDENTS ABOVE THE AGE OF 18 need a PCC for all countries they have resided in for over 12 months.
Speak to those that work on tales. I do not.
You didn’t submit PCC is on you and not the rules . Like I said, Home office is not a mechanic shop. Rules are rules. If they deny you, you simply appeal and will win based on rules .
It is same rules that have given so many ways to exploit the system to obtain ILR and citizenship.
As long as you can quote the laws and show them legally where they have erred, the case will always be ruled in the applicant’s favour.
There is nothing like tightening.
Any thing they tighten they make sure to go back to update the law on it. They would also announce that the laws have been updated, no matter how trivial it looks but the Secretary of State would be held able if this is not done.
As long as maintenance is ticked for the applicant/dependents … they do not need to provide any additional bank statements. If the ECO denies you, please and please appeal, and send officers complaints. An Entry Clearance Manager would also handle the case and it would continue to go high up until you are satisfied. You can reach courts too to get justice. This system works.
You will be vindicated and hugely apologised to.
You guys should try and speak on what you know.
Shalom

You're absolutely on point. I once argued here that PCC is not needed by dependant and I was pointed to where it was clearly stated in the rule and I had to withdraw my erroneous view.

The issue here is, is the poser already aware he might be asked for POF, I'm just wondering how he's able to provide the requested POF already held for 28days when he was asked to produce same within 10 working day, a big question if i may ask

Please guys does it matter if I just did an affidavit of change of name now even though I've been married for 3 years and my port already carries my husband's name? Will this raise any questions with the ECO?

Is it also required to submit pcc for someone that has been in the UK for over a year?

NO. You would not be asked.
If you are working for jobs with vulnerable persons then you may be required to provide a DBS(basic or enhanced) to your employer.

It doesn’t matter. You have your marriage certificate and other means of pictures etc to prove genuine marriage. If also you didn’t want to change your name, you are allowed legally to be married without changing your name. Western style. So nobody would seemingly punish you for doing or not doing anything.

The funds are not that much.. total should be roughly less than £1300 pounds and perhaps they have it.

Just venting.

Ukvi what reasonable excuse do u have to delay making a decision on visa application for this long?! Your call center assistants are clueless. Escalations are meaningless and just a way to get ppl to stop calling. I cried myself to sleep last night, I woke up in the worse mood. As I’m typing I can’t stop tears from coming down. All the people around me are sick of hearing about how much I miss my baby. He’s just 1 year old. Is this not wickedness?! Do u even consider people’s mental health? are immigrants so objectified that u don’t see them as people?!

It is very annoying and frustrating ! I have called countless times and they keep telling me to wait for 15 working days after the first escalation. I wonder why parents visa came out and kids visas are taking almost 2months now cos we did biometrics since July 6th and got NSF july 20th. Please when did you do biometric for your child? When did you escalate through paid call/mail ? The unending waiting time is killing me

Infact it’s really frustrating and worrisome, biometric since June 20th, additional doc requested July 11 and sent July 12.
Nothing heard so far, paid mail 2 times and I discovered they just give a generic response. I am tired !

Pls Can someone who is 100% sure help out? there has been contradicting advice here on transit visa for 1 stop at Amsterdam.
Is there need for a transit visa?
If yes. Must it be Transit from only Netherlands embassy or he can use french consolate ( because transit visa application and booking is straightforward. Unlike the Netherlands. I am yet to find a helpful guideline on how to book for appointment or apply )
