It was my account for a long time and only out again for a short time... What do you think visa star's? Thank you PS need to use it because earnings just below...

Hi
"6 months leave to remain"
(and a passport)
on your visa will allow you to apply for a provisional licence

According to DVLA, just phoned them.

Ofc this info is not on the website at least that I could find.

Hi When a visa application decision is still pending after the 60 working day target what is the official process to chase? Does the government have any obligation to complete the process or are those timelines literally just targets (rather moveable goalposts)? I can't see any info can anyone advis...

almost 60 working days, "in process"

5 pts for answering my own question!!!

Hi Does anyone have a link outlining original documents that must be supplied by the sponsor? I simply wish to know if the sponsor is obligated to send original documents in support of the applicant. I have not seen on any of the documents I have collected the wording "oringal documents must be supp...

Hi Casa Sorry if I have not made myself clear. That is not the issue, I have those in place with the following point to be considered. What I will do is have my mother provide accommodation which meets the requirement. I will not and do not live at that address. It is accepted that unmarried partner...

Hi Casa and thanks. Yes but what does "intend to live together" actually mean in real terms. Yes of course we intend to live together, is that not what marriage is all about... Obviously they cannot substantiate a statement from myself saying "I want to live in Bognor Regis." What about if I said I ...

Hi I'm looking for an official definition of "propsective accommodation." Can anyone point me to a document or have direct experience of what will fulfill this requirement. Fiance visa.

Hi Apologies if this has been answered I did look, I have also contacted UK Immigration and awaiting a reply (that will probably never come). Fiance Visa I propose to use my mums property which has a spare room as temporary accommodation for my spouse that she can stay in until we are married. I wou...

Thanks a lot, thats something I didn't know!

Hi
Thanks for your reply but you have not told me anything I do not know.

Based on experience/other cases what do you think?

I can probably get my current employer to write a quick note to explain the situation.

Hi Fiance visa. 5.1. Category A: With current employer for 6 months or more – person residing in the UK. I cant do Cat B because I was not earning enough for the 12 month requirement under cat B prior to November. I was, Employed by agency and then by agencies host company who are now my current emp...

Hi There was a missed mortgage payment on the property I live in that is owned by my family, I am a lodger in this property. The missed payment was the end of last year/early this year. My name is not on the mortgage. I just wanted to know if this (missed mortgage payment) may cause a problem for th...

You are basically asking the ECO to waive or adjust the required income amount. If they do this for you then they will have to do it for everyone making the requirement redundant. AFAIK the only benefit that excludes you from meeting the financial requirements is PIP. I am not a legal expert, in fac...

Hi all, thanks for any helpful and specific replies in advance. Marriage Visit Visa I am looking to have the following clarified please, "Evidence that arrangements have been/are being made to marry or form a civil partnership or give notice of your intention to this during your visit, such as a let...

We have lived apart now for 1 year, 2 months and counting This will be your hurdle and likely reason for refusal. The 2 years cohabitation proof is the 2 years immediately preceding the application for a visa. A bill in her name while she is not living with you won't suffice. If you marry, then thi...

It's not that we're unsympathetic and to some extent I've played devil's advocate. The ECO will follow the tick box procedure of the Immigration Rules and compassion doesn't play a part. If you're against entering into a marriage on principle, you may have to face the fact that your future together...

We planned for this for our UPV, made sure we had paper joint bank statements, joint utility bills etc, in fact we are still not paperless even now, old habits die hard... You can't really do this on a wing and a prayer, needs to be planned in advance since UKVI check and double check and assume no...
