Hi, I lived in GB for 3 years in the mid 2000s on a VISA with my spouse. We knew we'd be leaving after 3 years, so after the initial 2 years granted on marriage, we opted for the FLR visa rather than the ILR visa since it was quite a bit cheaper and plus we weren't thinking of hanging around, so why...

Hi all, I'm British, wife is non-EU. Wife is due to extend her spouse visa next month, but circumstances have changed quite significantly in the last 9 months and from what I can tell of the system, it just seems utterly perverse. We have a disabled child with very complex needs that requires caring...

Hi, I can't seem to find the answer to this question. My wife has recently become resident. I understand that her foreign (Not EU) license will be valid for 12 months. It's written in Spanish. She got her International Drivers Permit previously for a trip elsewhere, but it's due to run out in a few ...

Hi, I am a British citizen. My wife is a foreign national and just received her visa, with no recourse to public funds. We are now living in the UK and we have a severely disabled child who is also a British citizen. Am I correct in my understanding that the carer's allowance is classed as a benefit...

I don't understand your reference to ' option of a Tier 1 Category B '. Is she not applying for a spouse settlement visa? So I'm clearly confused. You are right, it is a spouse settlement visa. I want to meet the financial requirement due to my salaried employment - Category A, I'm almost with my e...

You have previously posted about visitor visas and spouse visas. Which application does this topic relate to?? The link you have provided very clearly states though that it is for Tier 1 and Tier 5 applicants. This is specifically about a Tier 1 visa in this case. I'm applying for a Chilean nationa...

Hi all, I'm just going through the hassle of sorting out the supporting documentation for the visa and I notice that VFS.Global now have a document scanning process for the supporting documentation as outlined: http://www.vfsglobal.co.uk/India/pdf/New-scanning-process.pdf It says that all documents ...

What's the worst that can happen? Refused entry and put on a plane back to home country. Okay, not ideal. But would her applic...

So when we arrived here, she was just asked what the purpose of her visit, to which she replied tourism. No hassle what so ever. The children arrived on foreign passport, but I got them their UK passport within a week. Her ILR Visa was in a previous passport and it has been 9 years since she lived h...

I'm trying to determine how to apply the rules for visiting the UK with regards to my situation. My family (non-British wife and 2 British children) relocated to the UK recently after 9 years abroad. My wife's previous ILR visa ran out years ago so we have to go through the whole process again. To r...

I'm British and I'll be applying for a settlement visa for my wife. We used to live abroad and I'm planning on using evidence from my salary at my foreign-based place of work. The problem is that my place of work only generates electronic payslips and my bank only generates electronic statements and...

I'm a little bit concerned and I think I'm a little out of my depth with my understanding. My Chilean wife and I were married in Chile in 2006 and she joined me in England where we lived together. She had a spouse visa for 3 years with limited leave to remain - we left just before getting permanent...
