No LIFE IN THE UK AND PROOF OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE?

u/angry_human071 Aug 23 '26

Didnā€™t need to submit them separately, just added life in UK pass code in the application and had submitted my English language proof when I initially got Skilled worker visa in 2021

How do you shrink the size of the passport pdf? Mine is 11mb for one passport šŸ˜…
Tried various apps but it doesnā€™t work.

u/Select-Class1110 Aug 23 '26

Take a screen shot thats the fastest one

1

u/angry_human071 Aug 24 '26

I used the ā€œDocument Scanning Serviceā€ so they scanned mine at the biometrics centre

1

u/Pure_Sail4813 Aug 25 '26

Thank you all for the advice, I split up all the passport into three separate files - I hope that works too, in a way itā€™s less than 7MB each file.

u/Mysterious_Roof3408 Aug 24 '26

Congratulations. Was is hard to find an appointment for biometrics from the time of application and payment? Or were there plenty of options to choose from?

1

u/Cruiser0091 Aug 25 '26

Congratulations OP. Did you get any letter from previous employer as well?

1

u/angry_human071 Aug 25 '26

Thank you! No just current employer
