Hi, brother in law lives permanently in the US but still only has his original Zimbabwean passport. What does he need to do to get into the UK?
Is he treated as a Zimbabwean or an American on entry to UK?
Thanks!

Hi My wife is a Zimbabwean passport holder resident in the UK. She is about to get ILR and wants to visit family in Australia for 3 weeks. Difficult to find easy answers to these questions so appreciate some help: 1) Can she visit Australia considering she has ILR in the UK but is still a Zimbabwean...

Hi My wife completed her application for ILR a couple of weeks ago after a visit to the Birmingham visa processing centre. Should we have received an email or letter acknowledgement that the application had been submitted? Nothing received yet, just a bit worried the Birmingham staff didn't press th...

Hi I'm a UK national wanting to visit a friend in Spain with my Zimbabwean wife for a week in October 2017. In summary: - my Zimbabwean wife has a UK Residence Permit, leave to remain as Spouse/Partner valid until 2019. She does not yet have indefinite leave to remain. - Our friend is a UK national ...

blimey, we've now found it, receipts as well. All sorted, thanks.

2014, UK and we think it was Bilston. We will probably put in the date that the residence permit was issued.

Hi My wife is filling out section 9 of the FLR (M) application, section 9.12 in order to apply for a second period of leave to remain. She HAS had her fingerprints taken when she first applied 2.5 years ago but all the information was sent off with that application. The form asks for when and where ...

Thanks, I'll have to double check the visas were all done on time before I met her(!), but I hear that the ILR can take an awful long time to process anyway and there are more hurdles so it maybe better to go for the FLR(M) extension anyway? Unless things have changed in the last year?

Many thanks for the advice, much appreciated. Will feedback on how we get on.

Many thanks for this. She got the spouse visa in Feb 14 and it expires in Aug 16. Yes I earn more than £18.6k. Sounds like we are OK then.

Hi Bit complicated this, I will try to summarise: - my wife came to the UK from Zimbabwe in 2001 on a student visa which was then changed to a work visa. - we met in 2008 and married in 2010. - She now has a "Leave to Remain as Spouse/Partner" visa which expires in August 2016. Our next move (I thin...

Thanks All. chaoclive - that makes sense but the Spanish have said that my wifes UK Residence Permit was issued under UK law and not European Law and therefore she needs the Schengen visa. I was hoping that maybe the EEA card would mean she can travel more easily because that is issued under Europea...

Thanks, Schengen Visa has so far cost us £80 plus travel to London. And they want us to pay for our holiday in full with no guarantee that we will get a visa at the end of it. Not sure if we should take the risk!

Hi I'm a UK National and my wife is a Zimbabwean National with a UK Residence permit (leave to remain as a spouse until 2016). She is currently working full time and we have a 2 year old daughter (UK National with British passport). We want a weeks holiday in Spain but trying to get a Schengen Visa ...
