If someone filing for Skilled Worker Visa paid the IHS fees and then proceeded to pay the visa fees but the mistake was the person selected that the Job he's applying is in Shortage list while it wasnt. So whats the scenario keeping in mind of 4th april deadline
Thank you for your enquiry. If the correct code was used then this may not be a problem. It would be best to submit a cover letter explaining the slight error.
Hi I applied for child dependent visa for my child . So I submitted bank statement for February but fund was deposited on 5 February and I applied visa on march 3 so will it be accepted

Thank you for your enquiry. Those who have been granted asylum can apply for a travel document which is not a British Passport but allows you to travel. Only once a person has become British can they apply for a British Passport.

Thank you for your enquiry. Under the Refugee Convention anyone can claim asylum in the UK. There is nothing preventing you from doing so once you arrive in the UK.
If I got a conditional caution from 2021 do I need to worry about good character with the new changes from july or august 2023? I've read that document from HO but doesn't make much sense to me and I mean at page 18 it says if a person has non custodial sencence must be refused and on the same page for serious convictions a person will normaly be refused.... Im confused.... If you can help please. Thank you!
The Home Office may refuse the application. They will make a decision on the balance of probability whether the applicant is of good character. Please contact us to discuss further.

Hello Sir, Good content. I need some information from your side on my condition. Me and my wife was on skilled visa and my child is dependent on my wife sponsorship. Now she didn't complete 5 years on her skilled visa and switch on my visa as dependent. Do I need to apply separate child dependent visa for my child as well as she moved to my dependent visa without completing her 5 years on skilled visa. Or shall we continue child with existing visa as we got for 5 years. Thanks in advance.
Hi, thank you for your questions. If your wife does not hold a skilled worker visa, you will need to switch your childs visa so that they are a dependant of you. Hope it helps!

When applying for council house, the council is likely to check the income of your partner, if you have met the financial requirement for the partner visa during your application, your partner's income may potentially be above the threshold of what the council will consider as eligible for council housing. You shall check with the local council directly.
Hi sir , at the time of visa application. Due to mis communication my agent has given bank name as axis insted of sbi for showing fixed deposit as proff of funds . So what should i do now
It's probably best for you to get in touch with your agent and asked the agent to write a rep letter on your behalf to correct the error, usually if it's just a administrative error, it wouldn't necessarily impact your application as long as you still provide your proof of funds.
@@lisaslawsolicitorsukhi there, I'm doing a visa application for my mum to travel to ghana. I accidently put the wrong date of departure will it get refused?
If this is a visa application for Ghana, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to advise on this as we can only deal with UK immigration law, if you mean a visa application in the UK, can you please clarify what do you mean by wrong departure date, is it the departure date of previous travel history? or do you mean that you have input a wrong intended departure date from your country to the UK?
The tax office reference may vary depending on whether you're self-employed or employed, tax office reference number could mean employer's PAYE reference, Unique Tax Reference or Accounts Office reference, it may be best for you to speak to us directly.
According to the HO guidance, the assessment of good character will apply to It applies to: 1) all decisions made on or after 14 January 2019 which are as a result of a person’s association with war crimes or extremism; 2) all new applications for citizenship made on or after 14 January 2019. If one does not meet the good character requirement, it is likely that the application will be refused but it's not always the case, it's best for one to get in touch as it will vary from case by case basis.
Hello, I have submitted my visa application and I realized that I made a mistake, but I believe it's not substantial. I was asked what will I provide to prove that my degree was taught in English,,,, I responded DEGREE CERTIFICATE instead of saying medium of instruction letter. However, among my documents I have provided the letter and the proof from Ecctis that my degree is equivalent to the UK degree. In addition, i have provided a cover letter explai my mistake and provided proof......... But im still a bit worried that maybe it may affect the outcome.
We are not able to comment on a specific question in relation to the visa application, the Home Office requirement is that when you submit your application, you declare that every information you have provided is true to your knowledge. While we could not guarantee that the mistake you have made would not have an impact on your application, but based on previous experience, if you have included a cover letter when providing your supporting documents to explain the error you have made, the Home Office is likely to take that into account.
About how long does it take for someone with refugee leave to remain to obtain settlement, the answer is 5 years, so after 5 years of obtaining refugee leave to remain, the person will be able to apply for ILR.
Hi please advice on notice to quit notice. I leased my property to a company who sublet to a council tenant. The tenancy ended April 2022, we are now in January 2023.
Hi Hazem, thank you for your message. If you have made an error in your application form which is not substantial, you could try to explain the error via an explanation letter. Alternatively, you have the option to cancel the current application and resubmit a new one.

What about the guarantor if a tenant don't have one but is disabled is it discrimination to refuse them property they can afford but the landlord don't think DWP and Housing benefit will continue to pay the disabled because they beleive the DWP and housing benefit is precarious and insecure . The word discretion or choice seems to be a buzz word used to cover up discrimination. As far as the law is concerned as far as we know as long as a person's circumstances have not changed then they will continue to be entitled to the benefits they receive and therefore for a landlord to refuse a person property based on the understanding that the person's disabled condition has not improved and are entitled to the benefits they receive then for the landlord to still refuse them property on that basis is discrimination not discretion.
Hi there, sorry for the late reply. We don’t quite understand the question fully but we shall answer on the basis of our understanding to your question. It is discriminatory if the landlord refuses to rent because the prospective tenant is a DWP person. It doesn’t matter whether that person is disabled or not. However, your matter seems more about whether the DWP is able to provide a guarantor. It is not discriminatory to refuse the prospective tenant (DWP or not DWP) on the grounds that they could not provide a guarantor as guarantor acts as a security to the landlord. The requirement for a guarantor is not uncommon even for any type of tenants be it (DWP or not DWP). Even without a guarantor, one may be able to provide historical evidence of timely rent payment, good credit records, and supporting character evidence from previous landlords to mitigate such requirements. You can even write to the Landlord to waive the need for a guarantor by providing them with a large deposit (i.e. 6 months). Alternatively, you can even contact the local council to see if they have a Rent Deposit Scheme or a Rent Guarantee Scheme. They will usually provide you with a loan for the deposit and a written guarantee to help you. However, again this will be the landlord’s discretion whether to exercise such waiver. Feel free to contact us on email: info:@lisaslaw.co.uk if you have any further questions.
