Greystones Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 14 minutes ago, lubry said: I decided against using an agent because it is pretty expensive. In my opinion applying for this visa is quite straight forward and do-able yourself, especially for you since you have lots of evidence that you have lived together with your partner and have kids. If you have questions there are always people you can ask and for anything tricky you can do a one off consultation with a lawyer if you feel nervous! But I really believe an agent is unnecessary. also, the mortgage is great evidence especially if both your names are on it! And yes upload about 30-40 photos! Try to have other people in the photo’s as well to prove that your social circle is aware of your relationship. Thanks Lubry, That's just what I wanted to hear, as based on what Mike said and an email I just got from an agent I definitely can't afford one anyway!! Can I ask how your application is going? Have you received visa yet or are you still waiting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you remembered after how much time your status from initial assessment changed to further assessment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my relatives I know have applied in July 2019 and its status changed from recieved to initial assessment after a month i.e. in August 2019 but since then its status remains unchanged although they have submitted their biometric and medical in July 2019.

Oh really, hopefully that means someone is actually looking at my case then. It seems like it generally takes about one year, give or take a couple of months from what I have seen online. One of my friends got their visa granted in 4 months (she applied after I did in April), 2 of my friends got it in 8 months, one in 12 months and the other in 18 months. Out of my friends only the case that took 18 months they used an agent, the others applied themselves.

Have you found it to be a big help over all? Yes I think my visa process is quick and they ask for more document in just les than six months . I think u r case is easy and you have more proofs so no need for agent . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
