how can you make a political staement in EVERY message you post and yet expect everyone else to accept it, what if someone comes on here and with each message posts vote BNP in the UK elections 2005?
is that acceptable

secondly how si what i said offensive, it is a staement of fact, strong harsh yes but fact nevertheless

or do you wish to censor expression and freedom of speech to the way you feel people should speak in the way you want them to and to say only that which is acceptable to you?

You are totally entitled to your political views. Are you standing as a candidate?

You are certainly entitled to your opinions about the visa statistics but you will know very well that that is all they are, your opinions. No way could you even get close to proving the "facts" in a Court of Law.

my wife got a fone call from the embassy saying that she hsa to withdraw the appeal as they will now give her the visa but she has to pass the medical also. they are sending her an appeal withdrawal form and a medical form for her to the hyderabad vfs office.
she has colleced the forms, filled and returned them, she has had the medical done in the approved hospital and they will send the forms directly to the embassy. they say after 10 days she should fone to see if her visas has been processed.

Congratulations !

Sreeni, congratulation on end of unnecessary hussle....

Wish you both all the best wishes for the future....

sreeni · Post by **sreeni** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 11:12 pm

yes thank god it didnt go through the long appeal process, i have at last gained my faith back in the whole system. Thank you to everyone here who has helped with advice and also moral support.

One good thing did come of all this hassle though, it meant the only way to communicate was by fone (lots of it), and so even though we had an arranged marriage we are very very close now,

hopefully the visa and evrything will be done soon and she should be with me quickly, But now i have once more doubt, if i go to work in india (for 1yr at least )and take my wife with me back to india as well, does this mean she will lose her visa?also i know that someone has to live 2 years together before they can change the settlement visa to a permanent visa if she moves to india with me will the time we spend in india together count as part of the two years or does have to be 2 years in the UK?

congratulations to you Sreeni, i m rather pleased and relieved for you, cause what was supposed to be a straight forward process leading to a joyous reunion with your wife turned out to be an unnecessarily long and stressful process, good luck to you and all the best with wife when she finally joins you in the UK

sreeni · Post by **sreeni** » Mon Apr 11, 2005 10:27 am

wife got a call 2 days ago that she has passed her medical and must hand her passport to the VFS office in hyderabad to be forwarded, She has gone there today and handed it in. they are sending it to Chennai for stamping and then will return it back to hyderabad. (hopefully a few days)
After this all she needs is to buy a ticket.

But i wanted to know how long can she stay in india before she has to come to UK as there are festivals coming and i am hoping to be able to get some holidays and then bring her here myself. Is there a time limit that she has to leave india by or the visa will get cancelled?

thanks Sreeni

No. (unless the situation changes and other contradictory/detremental information comes to light)

sreeni,

The visa is valid for entry and re-entry into the UK during its validity. Note that where a spouse delays their entry into the UK then they fail to satisfy the 2 yr co-habitation requirement for ILR application....the HO in this case would extend the probationary visa by the delayed period e.g

Spouse visa valid 1 Jan 2005 - 31 Dec 2006..............entry on 1 July 2005 then HO would extend probation period to 31 June 2007 (give or take a few days for the math gurus).

At worst an extended absence casts concerns over the subsistence of a marriage/ relationship akin to marriage.

congrats on your wife's visa, i was reading with great interest about your case and was worried a fair bit about my wife's entry clearance application.... but it went through ok and my indian born wife just got hers entry clearance a month ago at Mumbai, and i will going on holiday to india next week to bring her back with me........ this is a question for everyone.

my wife has got an 2yr entry clearance visa in her indian passport which looks ok..... is there any other documents/paperwork that she might need when flying back with me to UK? e.g. documents to show immigration authorities at the airport.......

sreeni · Post by **sreeni** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 12:43 pm

wife has collected her passport from VFS office and has her visa all OK,

:D Does she have to bring all the documents we used for her passport, visa etc all the paperwork over to uk when she comes?

sreeni · Post by **sreeni** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 12:49 pm

even I am thinking of going to india to collect my wife, My wife says she will be able to manage but still I worry as she has never flown before and I dont want to think about her having to change flights:(. Only problem is i dont know if i will be able to get any time away from work. What is the situation if i resign? does this invalidate my wifes visa?

Also is it true that when she lands in the UK that there is another interview process at the airport immigration ?People have told me different stories regards this

when i go there, I am bringing back ALL of the documents including my wages slip, utility bills etc just incase some immigration ppl may want to see proof alongside your wife's visa. my original Question was more about is there any more other official process we need to go through before my wife can leave india.... aside from the entry clearance.

once your wife has got a EC in her passport it does not matter what you do in terms of occupation, but it will matter in 2 years time when you need to apply for Indefinate leave to remain for your missus (details that I will worry about in 23 months later!).

sreeni · Post by **sreeni** » Thu Apr 21, 2005 8:18 am

we got my wifes passport in 1 day by going to the office in viskhapatnam, we had the interview in the morning, in the interview the lady said we can come and collect her passport in the afternoon, in the afternoon we paid the fees plus the Katkal fees and got the passport, she had the ECNR stamp too

so she did not need entry clearance.

Sreeni, Has your wife went through medical check up in India? Medical check up for your wife needs to bo done in India by the Doctor recommended by British High Commission.
Once medical check up is done, your wife must carry medical certificate issued by British High Commission. This certificate to be shown to immigration officer in London.
If your wife won't come along with this medical certificate then NHS staff at the airport will conduct medical check up of your wife. This will be time consuming and again mental torture for you and your wife.
All the best and wishing you and your wife happy life ahead in the UK.

sreeni · Post by **sreeni** » Fri Apr 29, 2005 1:55 pm

yes my wife had the medical done in india by the recommended hospital, but she does not have any of the medical documents as these are not given to the applicant they are sent direct to the embassy by the hospital.
In this case then how should we proceed?

journey · Post by **journey** » Fri Apr 29, 2005 6:15 pm

Sreeni, When your wife will receive passport, medical certificate will be given along with visa.

Advice to your wife to ask medical certificate if not provided by the VFS. She needs to carry medical certificate and X-ray paper alongwith her when she arrives int he UK and show these to NHS staff sitting at the airport.

vish16 · Post by **vish16** » Thu May 05, 2005 2:12 pm

just got back from india with my wife. journey is right, you MUST have a medical certificate + X-Rays when going through immigraton control at any UK airport. The medical certificate is referred to as XY form (or something like that), and they took this off my missus at the immigration control. they did not ask for any visa docs apart from looking at the Entry Clearance stamp on the passport + the medical form + the immigration form for foriegners. They return to you the passport and keep the medical form + immigration form. they asked my wife a number of obvious questions, e.g. husband name, home address, husband occupation................ nowt major.

P.S: the visa date actually starts from day she walks through immigration control NOT the one on the actual Entry Clearance.

sreeni · Post by **sreeni** » Fri May 06, 2005 11:56 am

she does not have a certificate but has a medical attachment which has been stapled to her passport which says she has passed the medicals. is this the same thing?
