Moogle333: Congratulations on your wife's EC. I must say that I am very happy for you although it took almost two months (because of her previous immigration history, which was expected) it still good news. Enjoy your life together and the new addition coming soon (or has he/she arrived already?). ...

First of all, thank you very much, without this forum I don't know what would of happened to us. We got married on the 10th Feb 07 and my wife got her visa on the 19th April 07 This is the evidence we included Section 1 VAF2 form 1. VAF2 Form 2. Letter of sponsorship from me 3. 4 Passport photos of ...

Were going out of our minds here. why is it taking so long? every time I ring up the British embassy in South Africa it just rings and then cuts off, the one time in 20 that I actually managed to get through, all they said was "were still doing checks" I there anybody I can complain to? th...

This is getting worse i've just heard that they are investigating her case. She had a previous application turned down.

I keep trying to ring the embasy but it just rings for 2 min then hangs off

My wife has just applied for her spouse visa in Durban, South Africa. it was posted last Monday (26th Feb 07) and we havn't heard anything yet.

does anybody have a rough idea on how long a spouse visa application should take in South Africa?

can somebody give me more advice with regards to my situtation. i found a part-time job of £160 per week . what you guys think? will it be enough? I think you need to prove you have a spare £85 a week to support your wife, if thats not possible you should make a spread sheet of your finances showin...

Thanks Jes that means a lot to me.

Well the weddings booked for the 17th of Feb and im going to South Africa on the 8th, so fingers crossed.

Thanks, I have actually included a couple of months worth of my fiances bank statements in with the utility bills, ill make an extra heading for her bank statements.

Thanks John Thats just what I wanted to hear, its just so worring, my finace is pregnant and this is not good for her.

Im trying to sort the visa out while she sorts the marriage out. But we could do all this and still be kept apart

This is what I have included, can you think of anything else that I could include? I have about two weeks to go before we get married and I really need to get this sorted out as soon as possible. I am british and my finace is South African. I intend to go to South africa to get married in about two ...

Things look good, you cetainly seem to have a lot of background and thus evidence.

I don't know how strict the embassy in Thailand is, but search this forum for posts with success and spouse in the title for an idea of what is involved in getting a spouse/finance visa

From what I have heard on this forum it seems a bit of a waste of time appealing against a decision, its better to try and fix what went wrong then re-apply. I would hope the phone bills would help to prove you intend to stay together. As for the adequate maintenance, could you get somebody who is b...

Thanks John, I never would have thought of that.

Its amazing I have a folder full of evidece but when you wright it down it doesnt seem like much.

In the New Year I plan to go to South Africa to marry my fiancé, I am British and she is South African. We plan to apply for a spouse visa while I’m there. My fiancé was in the UK for 2 years on a working visa, she then tried to get on her ex boyfriends ancestry visa as unmarried partners but that w...

I've heard on this forum that its a good idea to include a letter of sponsorship with a spouse visa application. what do I need to include or write in the letter? does anybody have some guidance notes? I have agood job and are able to support my finace without public funds, I also have my own house....

I 2 would like to hear the outcome of this. maybe you could apply for a finace visa, but I dont know if you can be engaged to somebody when you are still going through a divorce.

I may be getting ahead of myself now but I thought I would ask just in case. Ive heard its question like what are your spouses hobbies? i supose this is to test you actually know your spouse. What questions where you asked in the interview? I intend to give her a recorder so she can descretly record...

As a British Citizen, and therefore an EEA/EU Citizen, you have the right to live and work in other EEA countries, subject only to transitional arrangements in newly-joined countries. For example you can go and live and work in France, Spain, Greece, Iceland etc etc. That would be you exercising yo...

In that case your family members are not eligible to apply for an EEA Family Permit. Assuming you are getting married in SA, or somewhere else outside the UK, your wife (as she will be) will need to apply for a 2-year spouse visa. Why not eligible? Because you are not in the UK exercising EEA Treat...

Sorry I'm british with a full UK passport

I have been trying to get all the evidence I need ready for a spouse visa for my finance, so as soon as we are married, she can come and live with me in the uk, but I have just heard about EEA Family Permits. 1. Is a EEA Family Permit easier to get than a visa? 2. Could my finace (soon wife) work in...

In particular are copies (photocopies/scans) of birth certificates and passports submissable as evidence?

Would they be submissable if I got our doctor to sign them to say they where accurate copies?

Hello everybody this is my first post here so sorry if i'm asking a question that has been answered a million times. Here is my story; I will try to keep it short and to the point. I am engaged to a South African woman who is also 6 weeks pregnant with my child. I am currently in the UK and she is i...
