Haha thanks, I am also very lucky!!
Very helpful video, thank you again, wishing you both the best on the application.
Aww thank you so much! 😃
Thanks for your helpful informations and videos and I'm wishing u both all the best .
Aww thank you so much!! 😃
Your videos are very helpful. Thanks you! Could you do a video on how you wrote the cover letter?
Thank you for watching! That is something I have always wondered about and have decided not to as I don’t want all cover letters being submitted to sound like mine so I am leaving it up to you guys. It’s the same reason why I didn’t explain the reasons why me and hubby can’t live in any other country outside the U.K.
@@RuksanaAhmed yes that's true. You need represent your own personal reasons
Thank you so much. Super helpful as usual. xxx
Glad you think so! Thank you for watching! 💕
Assalam U Alaykum
I hope you guys are enjoying well InSha Allah
Few Questions

3- Didnt you provided photographs
4- Didnt you provided proof of relationship documents e.g cohabbiting /Proof of living together
5- Didnt you provided Accommodation proof like survey etc .

Ruks Many people asking similar Questions
Thanks very very much guys for your help and support
So much respect and keep it up👍
Hi, we are well thank you. Hope you are too.
As mentioned in the video, this is a mini series and so I have quite a few videos coming regarding different sections of the supporting documents. Like last time, accommodation, finances, life events (relationship), employment will all have their own video. I also mentioned, that it is in a strange order as this is the order on the government website and I want to keep to that same order.
All the documents you have asked about are coming in future videos so please wait for those.
@@RuksanaAhmed
Hi
Yeah I got that later
I think the process is more complicated rather than simplified
Thanks for your every effort , Yeah We will wait for the videos
A lots of Love and respect for you guys 👍
Best channel love it ❤️
Haha, thanks!
Thank you for these videos. They are so helpful right now. I wanted to ask what did you sponsor and applicant letter include? If I was to write one too. Thank you
Hi, for you sponsor/applicant letters, just try and make sure to include things to help back your answers and documents like where you'll be living, yours/his employment, how far you have come together, your plans for the future as a couple, etc. Of course just split what you want to say between both letters.
Hie ruksana.. i am going to apply online first extension visa for my wife.. itss easy to fill or do by Solicitior..??mostly i filled application some questions are confusing,,so thinking wat gonna do. Or any other way to get help
??
Hi Jaspal, I have videos on the extension visa, I show how I filled in the online application and uploaded the documents. Please watch them in my "extension visa" playlist: czcams.com/play/PL11FO2uPi8C6d0q4RBfiApSpW-wmRLGe-.html
If you can't do it yourself, you can get help with from a solicitor. I'm also going to offer some services myself. You can check out my website ruksana-ahmed.com
Great videos! What’s the difference between A2 & B1? Also, if the expire date is in April 2022 can you take the A2 in November 2021? And apply months before the expiry date? Thanks
A2 is the intermediate level and the minimum requirement for the extension application B1 is advanced and can be taken instead. The B1 can be used again when applying for ILR.
The certificates are valid for 2 years so if you take the A2 in Nov 2021, it will still be valid in April 2022, there is no need to apply early for the visa. If you want to apply early, you can apply in February 2022 which will be 30 months but I always recommend applying within the 28 days of the BRP card expiring.
Thank you soo much Ruks you helped me when I did my husbands first spouse visa and I've been waiting for your videos for the extention hehe. We literally cleaned out our room a few days ago and we threw some old letters away!! Like my husband's work contract for his first job he has when he came here ergh! Also we are expecting a baby in April allahamduliah do you know what documents I may need to provide apart from baby birth certificate? My husband's visa runs out on 25th December 2021 xx
Ah no! That's a real shame Save everything!! So long as we need to prove things we should save it all because we never know when we might need it. You may have to make a few phone calls and see if some companies will write you a letter to say you/your husband has had an account with them since... I would provide hospital letters and stuff of the baby, you can use that towards your correspondence or maybe in life events, maybe pictures of you all as well, scan pictures but I don't think you have to. A birth certificate should be more than enough to prove the baby is yours.
@@RuksanaAhmed As always thank you soo much!! My husband said he has the contracts from his old job in his email hopefully this will be ok xxx
I need some help for uploading documents. Could you please tell me that how did you submitted the documents. Did you make folder 📁 for each document or it was direct PDF FILE Submission.
Please explain in detail
Hi, it is a direct pdf/jpeg that you need to upload. It will have different sections (all sections have the same names as my videos) and then you will upload each document to each section. Hope that makes sense. You will need to do it on the UKVCAS website (link in the description box) and then follow the links for "upload documents"
@@RuksanaAhmed Thank you So much for this confirmation. 😍😍
Hello Dear, thank you so much for your videos. They have been so helpful. Can you tell me approximately what to include in the cover letters(sponsor and applicant) please! I looked everywhere online. Did not find any sample letters.
Also, do we have to bring all our original documents when we go for the biometric appointment?
Thank you again.
Hi, for you sponsor/applicant letters, just try and make sure to include things to help back your answers and documents like where you'll be living, yours/his employment, how far you have come together, your plans for the future as a couple, etc.
Yes, they may not check them but please take all of your original documents with you to the biometric appointment just in case.
@@RuksanaAhmed Thank you so much!
I'll do that. 🙂
i love watching ur video's really helpful and did u upload ur payslip as well as ur husband?
Aww thank you!! Yes, I uploaded them in different sections as we were using mine towards the financial requirements but not his. So I put his into this section just to show he has a job and is working. I put mine under “finances” and “employment” I have videos on them coming up.
@@RuksanaAhmed do i have to show that my husband is working if i show financial requirements are met with my payslips.
Also i have been on maternity leave since April 2020 and due back to work in February 2021 how many payslips i need to show? we will be applying for his extension in May 2021.
Hi Ruksana, did you also provide sponsor's employment like employer letter and payslips? And applicant's payslips? Thank you
Hi, I have a video on all of the documents I uploaded: czcams.com/video/HSwM6i3D2b4/video.html. You will see in that video we used the sponsors finances (mine) to make the application so I put my employment letter and wage slips in the finances section and then my husband's (the applicant's) documents were just additional and not being used for the requirements hence why we put it under the "others section". It's not necessary but we just saw it as more evidence.
Did you provide pictures of yourselves to prove genuine marriage like the last application. Also do you need a letter from sponsor employer?
Hey, it’s not a requirement like last time, they haven’t specifically mentioned that we should but we have under the “life events” section which I have a video of coming up soon
@@RuksanaAhmed did you get a letter from your employer about anything for this application. For example to confirm you work there and your salary
Hey, thanks for sharing this. My husbands visa expires in December 2021, how early can we apply for the extension? Thanks
The earliest you can apply is 28 days before the brp card expires and the latest is the day of expiry. We applied somewhere in between
Could you tell me what's needed in a cover letter?
You just need to explain your situation. What you’ve done to ensure your relationship continues to work, how the application is being supported (ie how you meet the financial requirements, where you’re staying, plans for a future together etc etc
Hi Ruksana, thanks for the videos they are helpful. I would be applying for my mrs FLR soon and i wanted to ask something. Regarding the joint letters and other letters. The only joint we have is council tax and the rest for her are NHS,NI letter,scottish power and hospital letter and they all have the address. Will they he enough or? Please advice. Thanks 👍🏼
Hey! Yes that should be enough documents. The joint letter will count as 1 for her and will also count as 1 for you and then you’ll need another 5 for her and 5 for you.
Sounds like she has 4 other letters. You can use a letter from the same country over 2 years so she can use a Scottish power letter from 2021 and another one from 2022 and that will count as a 5th letter. Hope this makes sense
@@RuksanaAhmed Thanks so much for ur help 👍🏼.
@@RuksanaAhmed hi Ruksana 😃. We did get a yes last month alhamdulilah. Thanks soooo much for ur videos they helped alottt. May Allah reward u and ur hubby 🤲🏻👍🏼😃
Oh wow, that’s amazing news!! A massive congratulations to you both 🎉🎉🎉!! I am so happy to hear it and really happy for you 😁😁😁!!
Hope your well!! Just a quick question by sponsor do you mean yourself? So in my husbands case will i be his sponsor as i am applying for him? Thank you!
Hi! Yes, I am my husband's sponsor. I know your will be applying for him but technically he is the applicant, he is the one making the application to come to/stay in the UK and you are just showing your income to support him. Hope that makes sense.
Hi hope you guys are keeping well.
I have a question to ask hope you can help. In my situation I have a job and I’m part time self employed too. For the employment I will submit my P60 most current which I will receive by April of this year as I’m applying in May but in regard to self-employment do I need to prepare my accounts for 20-21 or could I use my previous years 2019-2020 one as I usually have my accounts done later on the year?
Hey, were well thanks. Hope you guys are too! This is a really tricky one. Personally, on this occasion I would try and get my taxes done early just because they want to see the most recent 12 month period and I wouldn't want to risk anything but I am not 100% sure on how it works with self employed income tbh so it may be a better idea to speak to a solicitor on this one. If you can get away with it, why not? I can imagine it's very stressful to get sorted.
letters from friends or family members confirming that you or sponsor stayed with them what is it about
This is if you and your partner stayed with anyone over the last couple of years. Like parents. My husband and I stayed with my parents so I provided a letter from them confirming we stayed there.
Hi what is the difference with cover letter and applicant letter? Are they the same or different content. A bit confused
Hey, it’s the exact same thing with the same content.
Hello It's too much payment in this country comparing in Europe France or Germany there is no test no paying every one can do visa familly but this gouvernement making money from foreigner peoples It's injustice for us
Unfortunately it is the world we live in. England is a very small country with a very large population.
Hii there what do you write in spouse and applicant cover letter .? Please
Hi, please visit ruksana-ahmed.com where I can help you with any cover letters.
Hi ruksana one question about bank statement did u print it yourself or from bank? If u did it your own did u get them stamped or not please elaborate 🙏
Hi, I did try to order them into my local branch but they told me to print them at home and take them in to branch to be stamped so that's what I did (I am with nationwide. I know Lloyds also stamp statements too but HSBC don't. Can't speak for any other bank). If you can request for paper statements to be sent to your address that is the best method. It wasn't an option for me at nationwide.
@@RuksanaAhmed great thankyou god bless you and your family 🥰
Hi can you please guide on which option it ask to upload the documents and where I have to upload ? 🙏thanks
Hi, I have filmed this for the extension application already. It is the exact same process for ILR if that's what you are applying for czcams.com/video/HSwM6i3D2b4/video.html
hi good day, I already started my online application for the renewal of my spouse visa, and the actual date expiry date of my visa is on Oct 2021, do I need to pay the visa and IHS first before I could upload the documents online? thanks in advance.
Hiya, yes you would pay for the IHS and visa fee before uploading your documents.
Hi I have been following your channel throughout my visa application. Do you have a template for your sponsor letter and applicant cover letter? Or can you suggest what to put within the letters? Thank you so much.
Hi, it’s slightly different for the extension visa. You still want to say how you meet the financial requirements and where you will be living in the U.K. but instead of talking about your relationship, how you met etc you want to talk more about how the applicant has integrated in to British society, how living here has benefited your family (improved your situation). I split those points between both letters
@@RuksanaAhmed Thank you very much for replying. Just a last question, for the declarations, from the three parts in the declaration, which part did you sign as a sponsor and spouse and which part did your third/party sign? I am a bit confused about it. Thank you.
I signed the sponsor and spouse ones and I also signed the third party one as we don’t have a third party and it says that if you don’t have a one the sponsor should sign so that’s what I did
@@RuksanaAhmed Thank you very much! I really appreciate you replying. You've been a great help. :)
No problem 😊
Hello I have already brp but I need to apply extension vixa one thing I need to ask you that the process of biometric appointment how do we can get ?
You can book a biometric appointment after you complete the online application. You will be directed to the right page.
My spouse visa application is 28 September This is my last bank statement and I can't get it 28 from the bank online Apart from this, what is the other way to get a statement from the bank?
Hi sorry my reply is too late. Hope it all worked out ok for you.
Can I use UK_NARIC (ECCTIS) instead of B1 certificate?
If you have a degree from an English speaking country then you can apply with a U.K. NARIC but I’m not sure what that is and how you get it so please look into it. Otherwise you will need to take the A2 Ielts as a minimum. We took the B1 because it means we won’t have to take another exam next time, we can use the same certificate
I applied 2nd December but never got an email regarding my application up to now, what could be the problem? Thx
Ah no, really sorry to hear that you are still waiting for a decision! I know the pandemic has meant that some decisions are taking a little longer than others. Maybe that could be the reason. Please check your junk/spam folder in the email just in case it is there. If not, I would recommend you call them as it's been over 6 months. There is a link to their contact information in my description box. There is a charge per minute but it can be worth it. Hope you hear back from them soon 🙏!!
Can you provide me with the link for the declaration form that need signing please the 4 form that need signing. Thanks
You will get the link to the forms during the application. They are PDF documents, not online webpages.
@@RuksanaAhmed thank you for this also I am writing the cover letter for the sponsor and applicant and we want to know who do we address the letter to like who's address do we put on the letter. Thank you xx
You don’t put an address on the letter. Just put your name and address in the top right and then start with dear sir/madam or to whom it may concern
@@RuksanaAhmed in the question that says do you have any other reasons for wanting to stay in the UK, what do you write for this section, i have a child and wife also here in the uk so please can you give me some ideas on what to write for this section xx
You wife and child are plenty of reasons for you to want to stay in the U.K. It’s hard to give ideas with these questions as everyone is different and I don’t want everyone to just give the same reasons as I did. You really need to think about all of the reasons you chose to come to the U.K. and how being here has benefited you life
Hiya, as you mentioned you provide driving license I have one but it’s in my maiden name and my parents address we have moved to our own house last year and my husbands driving license still on my parents address. Do you think this will make them confused or shall I not include them
Hmm, personally I would get the license changed in time to submit the application. Our licenses both have our new address on them even though technically, we haven't moved yet but it was something I sorted for the visa. If you can't get it changed in time I don't think it will matter too much, your passport should cover you for proof of immigration status and so should a birth certificate alone.
@@RuksanaAhmed awwww thank you
Salaam sis just wanted to ask do we not have to provide 6 months worth of wage slips?
Yes, I added them in my employment documents. Please watch that czcams.com/video/3OskRCqRsNM/video.html
@@RuksanaAhmed ok will do Thankyou
Hello have just come across your useful video I have just filled in my application and they say they will email me back before 2 September to let me know if they can use my finger print of my last application if they can then they will send me an email to upload my documents and face what do you think
Hmm, that is something that I have never heard of before. They always redo the finger prints at the biometric appointment. i don't think we were given an email to upload the documents either. Just did it on the same website as booking the biometric appointment (UKVCAS)
@@RuksanaAhmed thanks for your reply,it’s a new thing now and I have done it they sent me an email and I uploaded my documents and they are using my old fingerprint all they need is my photo and they sent a link too for me to send it , saved me money hurray thanks again
Oh right, that must be new. Does make life a lot easier if that’s the case. Thanks for the update 😊
Hi Ruksana,I just got an email that my spouse visa application has reached in UK decision making center and it is being prepared to verification by a entry clearance officer....So how much more time do you think it will take for my spouse visa decision to get processed?
Aww that’s great. Unfortunately, this doesn’t give any indication of how long it will take. Usually it takes 3 months in total for the first visa but it can be sooner or even take longer
@@RuksanaAhmed does they usually mail like this...I mean did your husband get his extension visa approved?
Hi hope you are well.
Do we need English language certificate for visa extension?
I am applying for the same category as your's husband.
Hi, yes! English Language certificate is a requirement for the extension application. You will need at least the A2 as a minimum. My husband did the B1 as it is a higher level and felt confident. He can use the same certificate for the ILR application also which will save us time and money.
@@RuksanaAhmed Hi for my visa extension FLR M, do any documents needs to be attested e.g. Master's degree from Australia or I just upload degree certificate.
No documents need to be attested but if you are using a degree from an English speaking country instead of the ielts exam then you need to provide a U.K. NARIC. I’m not sure what it is or how you get it though
Hi
I have submitted my spouse visa application and my biometric has been done as well. But tomorrow i noticed that in mt tb certificate, one digit of postal code from uk address is missing.i am so upset.worrying alot.will it effect my decision?is it a big issue?
Hey hun, aww please don't stress about it. Firstly, I don't even think they will notice it tbh. Secondly, it is only really the first part of the post code that matters.
@@RuksanaAhmed thanks for the kind words❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
🤩
😃
When uploading does it have a limit on how big the file can be?
Yes there is a limit on how large the files are (I think 6mg each file is max), however there is no limit on how many files you can upload
@@RuksanaAhmed I thought that too. For example the passport that I scanned and saved all the pages as 1 PDF, is 14mb . Thanks 👍🏾
how much it cost all of them together to renew your visa ?
Hi we paid a total of £2,891 for the extension visa (including visa fees, ihs fees, biometric appointment charge and B1 test).
Hey are we still allowed to bring our partner to uk from india? Or is it going to stop?
Do you mean can you still apply for them? Or that the visa has been accepted and you want to know whether or not they can fly out?
I mean my boyfriend is in india... still hasnt done civil marriage but going to do soon... so after that can we still bring them here? In london?
Can we post documents
No, it is all done online now.
:)
