Hummm, guidance says 6 months and you have only submitted 4.5 months. I would err on the side of caution and submit the remaining via signed for delivery and attach a reference number.

They will communicare via post. The next letter would be a acknowledgement of your appeal and an appeal reference number.

well normally it is 90 days generally speaking. Chenni office only processed only 60% of applications in 60 days in Dec 2012

The 7 digit reference is generated as soon as the application has been logged in their computer system. It does not mean they have started processing as such - just means they are in receipt of the application and its in the "system". They have a SLA of 90 days for settlement visa's but it is not ...

An MP will not be able to do much at all unless there is something unfair or againest the rules and regulations for bonafide immigration.

With appeals its just a waiting game to await your turn. There is always an option to submit a new application whilst your appeal is pending.

In regards to your query - not all councils do a accomodation survey and therefore you may have to get it done and paid for - cost is between £100 - £200.

If in doubt - submit (within reason) is the answer to such cases.

Just to clarify your question - Is it already went through ECM review and they haven't overturned it ? The application was proberley put in front of the ECM or the ECM's Manager for a quick review and the ECM has not overturned their decision. Therefore it has entered the Tribunal process (appeal ...

My thinking is the ECM review has been done or is not applicable and he/she has passed it to the Tribunal therefore kicking off the appeal proces. The ECM has not made a error of judgement so it has headed of to the appeal process. As you can see a Tribunal Appeal Number has been generated as well ...

Get a letter to say the degree was taught in English from the insitution as well as a backup would be my advise to you if it is not clear on the degree cert.

Looks like the case has gone to the appeal process. And passed the officer review process.

You will recieve letters in due course if you would like a verbal or paper based appeal process. Expect a minimum of 3 to 4 months wait i would guesstimate.

You lookign around 90 - 120 working days wait for Spouse visa processing from Syhlet. More to the 120 day timescale.

There is no official requirement to supply duplicates otherwise they would have stated it in the application form.

Hi You need various documents, heres list but not exhaustive and its your decison how much or how less you submit - but got to convince immigration officer it a geniune relationship and you can financially support her with out recourse to public funds . 6 months bank statments where your salary or ...

For completeness sake, they want to come to the UK because they have immediate family connections and also better job prospects, because they live in a rural setting at the moment and jobs are hard to source. They think they will be better prospects for them in the UK than currently where they are.

just wandering what recommendation should they follow, wait for his wife to get a EEA passport or for them to come over with current status in the next few months. And what requirements should they adhere to get permement UK status, i assume after 5 years of living in the UK

Limited research on this at the momemt. But think best for his wife to get a EEA passport and then come to the UK, he says she should get a EEA passport within 12 - 18 months time.

Would this be a better option? kids are under 21 at the moment.
