Complicated situation, your advice appreciated

Post by twinpeaks » Tue Mar 24, 2015 9:15 am

This is a bit of a tricky one but I will try and explain my situation as clearly as possible:

I would like to apply for a family visitor visa. My mother (british citizen) resides in the UK.

I am a permanent resident in Australia.

I am legally married to a man who is in the UK, he has just been granted his indefinite leave to remain. Prior to this, he was on humanitarian protection. He is still awaiting a travel document that enables him to travel. We met in 2008. We got married in Bali in 2012. I have visited the UK every year for the past five years (putting my mother as relative I intend to visit).

I have visited the UK once since we got married but this was on a visa granted on appeal for an application that was made prior to us getting married. By the time the appeal was allowed, we had wed. (Visa was initially rejected as ECO assumed that because I had a few months left to completing my studies, I would not return. Judge dismissed this and allowed appeal.)

In your opinion, what are my chances of getting a family visitor visa?

Do i put down just my mother or just my husband on the visa application form? Which living address do i put ?

Thank you for your help.

chance of getting a visitor visa depends on the nature of visit and strength of supporting documents. considering you have had a previous refusal plus british mother and husband - both resident in the UK - you have to obviously satisfy the ECO that the nature of the trip would indeed be short stay visit with intention of return on completion of the trip.

Take a look at Visitors Guidance.
