Be wary of the reason given in the application for her visit, as the HO deem even voluntary child-care within the family to be work, which isn't permitted while on a visitor visa.

Again here is the relevant law: The relevant law which states who can, rather than who can not receive such credits, can be found in Regulations 2 and 5 of the Social Security (Contributions Credits for Parents and Carers) Regulation 2010 (SI 2010 No. 19) and Section 23A of the Social Security Cont...

I believe the criteria is "when you were aged between 18 and 24" not 'under 24".

I'm sorry about the situation you find yourself in. I'll leave others better placed to advise on the legality of the marriage in Pakistan. However: Firstly, you won't be in trouble with the Home Office. Your husband's second marriage won't be recognised under British law and even if it is deemed to ...

You are likely to be questioned separately to confirm that you are both able to give the same answers as evidence that you are living together and your relationship is subsisting. The questions are usually very basic, such what do you each eat for breakfast, what time do you get up, your favourite T...

One of the conditions for a legal marriage in the UAE is:
"Proxy – the contracting parties to a marriage must be present during the time of the marriage ceremony. If any of the spouses weren’t physically present, the marriage will not be considered valid."

In addition to previous excellent advice, please be aware that the 'no more than 180 days' in 12 months, refers to a rolling 12 month period, not a calendar year. A visitor can't spend more time in the UK than they are spending in their own country.

You won't be required to include your child in the financial calculation. The annual income level will be £18,600 for your wife's spouse visa application.

Hi, did you receive the visa? if so, after how many days of sending the requested docs? I am on the same situation as yours..

Further to the previous advice regarding bringing your parents to live in the UK, as has already been mentioned an Adult Dependent Visa application has a slim to zero chance of succeeding, unless: Both of your parents require daily help with basic tasks such as bathing, dressing and preparing food e...

Your Islamic marriage in Pakistan won't have been 'automatically registered' in the UK. However, it is recognised as a legal marriage and the fact that your wife came to the UK as your dependent is evidence that the Home Office accepted this as being the case. You are now both British citizens domic...

Basically, a visitor shouldn't be seen to spend more time in the UK than they are spending in their own country, during a rolling 12 month period.

What evidence will your cousin and his wife be able to submit to convince the Entry Clearance Officer that they have stronger ties in their home country than they will have with family in the UK. They need to be able to submit documented evidence of reasons to return to Pakistan after their visit. :...

In order to remain within the terms of the visitor visa, your parents shouldn't be spending more time in the UK in a 12 month rolling period, than they are spending in their home country. Frequent visits could be viewed as an attempt to reside in the UK.
