Help courier number
« on: August 23, 2016, 06:22:19 PM »
Hi so they need my courier number.  Ive paid and it never came up with a page telling my courier number.  So I went back in and found my receipt and it only says bank transaction id.  Is this the courier number? Im on vfs global and Im worried about time because my stupid lawyer sat on the email about them needing this number for a week!!!  Is there a phone number I can call to find this out because online has been nothing but a battle?

If you paid for VFS Global then you should have printed and included the return shipping label with your documents. Can you email the shipping label to them instead?

If they have asked for a courier number then normally that's when you aren't using VFS global at all and instead you open an online account with either UPS or DHL, then send them the online account number so they can charge your account for the return shipping.

My lawyer didn't arrange or tell us till now to do it and so they need it to send the visa to us.  I figured out how to email the awb and so after 6 hrs fighting with it I've got it.  I'm ready to be done with this.

Honestly, this is why I don't recommend using a lawyer unless your situation is very complicated and requires legal arguments to convince UKVI that you should be given a visa (i.e. you have serious criminal convictions or have illegally worked/overstayed in the UK in the past).

If you do it yourself, you know you sorted everything out and that all the information is being transmitted quickly and efficiently between you and UKVI, without having to rely on a third party to be reliable.

Also, all the information you need about how to apply and the documents required can be found for free on the UKVI website and here on the forum, without having to pay for a lawyer. We've unfortunately found that many lawyers don't know what they are talking about because they have very little actual experience with filing UK settlement visa applications from overseas, and so have been known to give very bad advice - which, had it been taken, would have resulted in a visa refusal. So, we only recommend two immigration advisers/lawyers here on the forum, who specialise in settlement applications made in the US: Laura Devine (offices in London and NYC) and Medivisas (office in London).

Unfortunately we found this site after we applied.  We felt a lawyer would be the safe way to go because my husband owns his own company and we had just fought for 9 months in court to be able to bring my son over.  We thought we would need help.  Unfortunately we found a bad lawyer.  I've been fighting to move since July of 2015, I'm tired and hope I have taken care of what is the last hurdle to us being together.
