Can intended date of travel be changed during appointment for UK visa?
I am Sri Lankan and am currently applying for a UK Standard Visitor visa. My problem is that the intended date of travel, which I put in my application, and my visa appointment date to submit the documents for visa approval are the same, the 10th of January 2017.
Will this be a problem for me to get my visa?
Best Answer
The premise for your visit may be relevant.
IMO if going for say a week's vacation then it should not be a big problem.
On the other hand if going for a conference (say week long and commencing 11/1/17) then it probably would be a big problem because you are clearly not going to make that in time, and the premise for your visa is no longer valid. That being so you would need a new premise and hence a new assessment and hence a new application.

Can I change my intended travel date once my UK visa has been issued?
No, the only way to change your visa start date is to cancel your existing application and submit a new application. The dates on your vignette sticker are just your UK entry dates, an arrival window that you are given to enable you to enter and collect your BRP.Can I change my UK visa appointment?

However, there's no need to panic, either. Although it's true that the State Department does not provide a way to go back and change an already submitted DS-160, you can go online to submit a new, corrected DS-160, print the new confirmation page, and bring that to your interview at the consulate or embassy.What does intended date of travel mean?
Intended travel date = the date that you start to travel. Date of arrival = the date that you come to the destination.Best Time to Travel U.K \u0026 for U.K Visa (in Hindi - हिंदी में)
