Hi

Grt i am back again for some advice I applied for uk spouse visa on 5 July 2012 Since then i did not heard any thing

I would like to know as i am applying from Eu country is in it should be quicker then the other non eu countries ?

2nd I knw they send all paper work in london office becz for some reason they are not processing any more visa application in Uk embassy Dublin

and last question if any one know that there was law that if you are married with British citizen and living abroad for more then four years then you can apply for ILE Right? Please correct me if i am wrong
But what now i heard after 9th July law is changed what if some one want to apply know what application should he/she do and what kind and how long will they get visa for ??

Many thanks hopefully will have some response thanks

The 4 year rule for ILE has been withdrawn under the new Regulations. A spouse visa will now be issued for 30 months and will then have to be extended for a further 30 months...giving 5 years in total before qualifying for ILR.

Hey Casa thanks for very quick reply

omg R u serious so there is no diff between some one who is abt or just married with British citizen and some one who is married and have kids and living happy life and want to return

ATleast there should be as UKBA main concern is the Genuine relationship which eliminate when years pass by and have family etc.

Unfortunately the main concern of the UKBA appears to be whether you are earning a high enough income to meet the new, tougher regulations. Confused

But wait a moment. I've just re-read your original post and see that you applied before the rule change on the 9th July. Therefore your application should be decided under the old rules and you may well be issued with ILE - KOL required, which would mean that once you've passed the Life in the UK test you will be able to apply for ILR.

thx casa

yeah thts right i applied on the 5th just before they completely abolished ILE

finger crossed i hope i will get that ..... Sad

basically seems like ukba motives to makes money and only allowed rich people to enter in UK

I don't think tht will help Britain to come out from recession until they stop white collar crime

If the ECO doesn't issue you with ILE (KOL Req) you should contact them and request an amendment. It's easier to do this before you enter the UK.
