More questions

Thank you so much for putting me at ease, I'm so easily pushed into the abyss of my anxiety lol

I was the same way and everyone on here was so supportive. I had many anxiety attacks and things turned out just fine. The support I got from this group helped keep me sane.

It really felt relieving to read your message I'm glad there are there's like me haha, and I'm glad that we're able to find such great support through this process :3

Getting so close to not having any questions for you guys, honestly, I am excited for you all on that front, lol!

Obviously the app itself is really straightforward a couple of things to verify/ask!

What do I put when they say how long do you intend to stay in the UK? Indefinitely? A long time, lol?

When it asks if I'm traveling with anyone, I obviously put my daughter, and when it says visa held, I say no, but they'll recognize that I've done another application and it's her, right? lol I get worried they don't pay attention

In regards to my speeding tickets, where do I add those in the application, just in additional info? And do I answer no to criminal convictions? As I've said they're only speeding/traffic violations.

I did have a previous visa and an NHS number, and was here for a year, but I had more than one doctor, and it won't fit on the line given for the name of the clinic or the address, so, once more, do I put the rest in the additional information?

EDIT: I know it says treatment, all I received was a prescription.
My Daughter had speech therapy, dental procedure, hearing test, and a physical therapy exam, so am I to include information on everything?

Those were my only questions for the application.

Last couple of things

The letting agency wrote us a letter of permission for my daughter and I to live there, that's okay, right? Everyone has said landlord, but, they're the ones that handle everything if not, I get to get onto my husband lol.

I think...that's it... :O

I lied, one more question to tack on

When it asks if I've made an application to the Home Office before, would that have been for my previous visa application?

What do I put when they say how long do you intend to stay in the UK? Indefinitely? A long time, lol?

You can put 'indefinitely' or 'permanently'.

When it asks if I'm traveling with anyone, I obviously put my daughter, and when it says visa held, I say no, but they'll recognize that I've done another application and it's her, right? lol I get worried they don't pay attention

They have to pay attention because the amount of money you need to show will be higher because of your daughter: £22,400. You'll be sending just one set of application documents for both visas, so they can't ignore hers .

In regards to my speeding tickets, where do I add those in the application, just in additional info? And do I answer no to criminal convictions? As I've said they're only speeding/traffic violations.

I think they normally go in the criminal conviction section, but I'm not completely sure. You could always put them in the Additional Information section.

Yes, you need to include information on everything.

If you or your daughter have more than £500 in unpaid NHS debt, it's an automatic visa refusal.

The letting agency wrote us a letter of permission for my daughter and I to live there, that's okay, right? Everyone has said landlord, but, they're the ones that handle everything if not, I get to get onto my husband lol.

You usually need permission from the homeowner (landlord) stating they have no objection to additional tenants. It will need to be a wet signature letter, physically mailed to you.

The accommodation guidance states:

11. MAA11 Adequacy of accommodation
The ECO’s judgement should be based on the evidence from the applicant. If the ECO is not sure of the credibility of the applicant, he / she should ask to see a letter from the owner of the property (which may be a housing authority, housing association, landlord or a building society). This should confirm particulars of tenure and occupation of the dwelling, together with a description of the accommodation and, if rented, a copy of the lease.

The onus is on the applicant to provide confirmation that there is no objection to an additional resident moving into the accommodation.

(https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/maintenance-and-accommodation-maa/maintenance-and-accommodation-maa--2#maa11-adequacy-of-accommodation)

When it asks if I've made an application to the Home Office before, would that have been for my previous visa application?

Does it say 'application to the Home Office to REMAIN in the UK'?

If so, it only means an in-country application to the Home Office, to extend a current visa, not an initial visa application made from outside the UK.

The guidance on the old VAF4a paper form states:

6.8 Have you made an application to the Home Office to remain in the UK in the last 10 years?
Answer Yes/No.
Please enter your reference number which is prefixed with the first letter of your family name e.g. Smith = S123456. If this application was refused please give the reason for this.

Yes, you need to include information on everything.

Alright thank you! On a small plus side I get to tell my husband I told you so lol

And I will include everything, but luckily we owe nothing as we used the services whole covered under my tier 4 visa and her tier 4 dependent visa.

That was it! All those questions and pages and finally, no more!

If you both had visas that allowed NHS treatment without paying, you might be okay just to list the main doctor (if it was several doctors at the same GP surgery, just give one name along with the address) and say something along the lines that you received treatment, but that you didn't need to pay because you had Tier 4/Tier 4 Dependent visas.

It's up to you how you answer though - whichever you feel more comfortable doing.

My issue was that my daughter only saw her GP once, the rest were all specialists from referrals from the school (turns out nothing was wrong, they just wanted to cover their bases)

The application only allows me to put one incident of medical treatment, so I've decided to put the doctor she saw the most in that section and then in the additional information I will put the rest, I think that will be okay?

Also, it asks if I paid for the treatment I of course put no, and even though I paid my IHS fee, it still would be no, correct?

I literally have every letter they sent except for one hearing exam but I've saved everything and being a hoarder actually worked for once!

Honestly, would probably put something like:
- GP name and address
- ‘various appointments and treatment received for X condition(s) between Y and Z dates while living in the U.K. on Tier 4/Tier 4 dependant visa’

Since you were entitled to free NHS use it doesn’t really matter what treatment was given or how often... you would only need to give more detail if you had to pay for it all and were providing receipts.

Also, it asks if I paid for the treatment I of course put no, and even though I paid my IHS fee, it still would be no, correct?

Correct - it’s a No... the point of the IHS surcharge is that you don’t have to pay for the treatment later.

You would only put yes if your visa did not allow access to the NHS (no IHS surcharge) and you were required to pay for each individual appointment/treatment received. You would also need to provide receipts from the doctor, pharmacy, hospital etc. to show you paid the full, non-NHS cost of the treatment... but this does not apply here because the treatment did not have to be paid for.

Thank you again ksand24! I will definitely go along with that as it's the easiest for them and myself!:3 I will go ahead and do that, I can certainly say I would have been running around like a headless chicken with you and the others!

In the payslip we received in August (for July) I had mentioned that he had a deducted pay cut.

We were going to send all 12, but then realized we had to wait until February to either send 12 payslips or 6 with his regular pay.

Originally we were planning on sending: September, October, November, December, January, and February

They are dated randomly around the end of the next month or the beginning (ie: Some will say 31/10/2017 for the pay period while another might say 02/12/2017 for another).

We have obviously misread this? And should be including that deducted pay...which means...I'll need to get 12 payslips and apply under category B? He made 2083.33 before his pay raise, and had two lowered payslips but still adding all 12 up, he meets the financial requirement (22,400 for us)

Honestly I'm at the point of throwing, I am so sick of this and upset that I could have been so stupid to think it was as simple as sending six payslips, I am very sorry for having to ask for even more advice.

Can you list the payslips?  Dates and amounts (gross not net)

Misread what?

You send all the payslips that have been received in the 6 months, along with accompanying bank statements showing the payslip deposit.

So, for example if the most recent payslip is dated February 1st, you send ALL payslips showing he was being paid between August 1st 2017 and February 1st 2017.

For the 12 months category, you don't need to have been working for the full 12 months, you just need to have earned a total of at least £22,400 at any time during the 12 months.

So, you send 12 months of bank statements, say Jan 2017 to Jan 2018, plus all the payslips that were issued during that time. He might have say, earned £5,000 between January and March, then been unemployed until July, and then earned £17,500 between July and January... but he will have earned £22,500 in total, which would meet the requirement.

What was the lowest monthly payslip amount?

- If it was more than £1,866.67, then you should qualify under Category A and will only need to send 6 months.

- If it was less than £1,866.67 then you will HAVE to send 12 full months of payslips and bank statements, because you won't qualify under Category A and will have to apply under Category B.

Certainly
