the woman doesnt have to be a muslim to get married to a muslim guy . as long as shes either christian or a jew (believes in god that is ) they can get married in a muslim ceremony.

well thanks for replying. i thought that this website is uk based and applies for uk residents .

so , no one here has ever traveled to the us, neither as had any experience on getting visas to the us. neat. hardly none of these posts get any answers /replies. i sort of got my answers the hard way , by actually going to the embassy myself. i dont find the point of posting on this board when no o...

does anyone know how long is the processing time for a visitor visa?(i might need my passport back to travel )
it says on the website it takes 5 days to okay it , but it might take up to 4 weeks to issue it and post it back.
what are you experiences?
thanks

thanks for that. but the applicationn form is asking me abt details abt my stay in the usa . how can i provide them with info taht i have not booked yet?

do i book for the holiday to show them proof of return ticket or wai2t until the visa is granted?

what is their policy ? do they need to see booked and paid details of our holiday?

thanks

one loophole is not to mention you are going to see your family. book somewhere at a cheap hotel and that will be it. thats one way round the 1000 pound deposit. just dont declare the fact ur visiting family members. i find it pure discrimination.... why wouldnt other visitors (not coming to see fam...

i thought non skilled workers were never allowed in the uk to start with anyway... how do non skilled ppl qualify to come here? plus, when they go on about saying that theres too many non-eu migrants in the uk, what do they usually refer to? as far as i know it is really hard to get here unless u ca...

update:
got my passport back in the post this morning.
it took 5 working days to get it sorted.
i did the whole thing through the post and it was free of charge!
great and prompt decent service!

They can apply now ..... means now ... it does not mean they can apply immediately they got their ILR. Not sure how you could read that into what I posted. Clearly, on my example dates, they cannot apply immediately after the ILR granted, because they were not in the UK exactly 3 years earlier. tha...

no or few absences out of the UK since 01.03.05 .... they can apply for Naturalisation NOW i do get what you posted . but i guess i understood ur phrase ^^" they can apply now" as in as soon as they get the ilr after 01.03.07, not as in now : november 2007 which was what u meant. i guess this is we...

Even the following is OK .... someone comes to the UK as a visitor from say 01.10.04 to 15.11.04 .... goes home .... gets a fiance(e) visa and returns to the UK on 01.03.05 ... gets married in the UK ..... then gets 2-year spouse visa on say 01.06.05 ... and ILR on 15.05.07 ..... no or few absences...

It is as simple as this. You need to pass the "applicant was physically in the UK exactly three years before BIA receive the Naturalisation application" test. And yes, you need to have been legal in the UK, at all times when in the UK during the 3 year period. Even the following is OK .... someone ...

as i understand under the current rules a spouse of uk citizen needs to meet a 3 year residency in the uk, and should have an ILR before applying for naturalization.
my question is : does the residency period start when i came here on a fiancee visa or is it after i received my flr ?
thnx
