Thanks all for the advice and my apologies for the delayed reply. As correctly mentioned by JB007, having £62.5k in my father's account will mean his welfare benefits will go for a toss, hence he's not keen on this route. My father has a settled life in the UK and he has family and friends here so h...

Thanks for the advice. We are considering the appeal route. The issue is we are looking at another year or so of separation.

Hi all, Further to my post above, we met an experienced immigration solicitor and he advised the chances of winning the appeal looks slim as there are no exceptional circumstances in my father's case. The solicitor however suggested that the wife can visit the UK (she doesn't need a visa as she hold...

Many thanks everyone for their input.

Yes the wife holds US passport. If he moves to EU does he have to live there for a certain period of time before he moves back to UK? Also, I thought as we are already out of the EU the immigration rules for EEA nationals would change. Is that not the case? Thanks for your help... The other option: ...

The wife is 54 years old. She doesn't work.

Unfortunately, there is no compelling circumstances that springs to mind, apart from my fathers age and medical condition. Can we argue that we cannot expect Home Office for him to look for full time employment and earn £18,600? Also, he has a heart condition which prevents him for being too tired. ...

Where does the wife live?

Op stated the wife is a "US lady". Presumably the couple have met in person.

Dear all, Firstly, apologies if I am posting in the wrong thread or if this question has been answered already before. My stepmothers spouse settlement visa has been refused and I would greatly appreciate if experts in this forum can provide some advise please. Just to give a bit of a background. My...

Ok I will send them the link and see what they say.

It is definitely easy for them to pick up the phone and enquire rather than me requesting the BRP back. They have given me a deadline of 6th August to submit the BRP, failing which the job offer would be withdrawn! What a shame, eh!

Thanks..

Thanks noajthan.

I guess I have to request return of documents.

Hi all, Firstly, thanks to all gurus on this forum who have far superior knowledge than any of the so called solicitors. I applied for naturlasition in March this year (postal application and not an NCS appointment application) and received a standard acknowledgement letter from Home Office saying d...

Thanks fwd079, I have a UK NARIC comparision certificate confirming my overseas Masters qualification is equivalent to UK Masters degree. However, the comparision certificate does not confirm it was taught in English. Hence I guess I can use the PBS calculator as per your advice. A print out from th...

Thanks for your reply.

Hi All, Further to my earlier post, my cousin has received a letter from UKBA asking her to take the ESOl test and her husband (main applicant) to take LIUK test within 28 days. My cousin says she had been for the ESOL test, which took only 1 day and she was told she will receive the certificate wit...

Your token number will be called and you will be asked to hand over all the documents to a staff member (who is not the case worker). They will check y...

hi, Yes, ideally you need the bank statements and the pay slip to be less than 1 month old if you want to claim points for them. You can always go to the bank 2 days before your PEO appointment and ask them for a latest statement and get it stamped by them. Alternatively, you can claim points for th...
