We are having problems on trying to sort out our life together. I am a british citizen, my husband is nigerian. We have been living in nigeria for the last 1.5 yrs and have been married for 2 years. We've just had a baby and are currently not comfortable about me and the baby returning from the UK ...
Thanks - if I'm interpreting correctly then I assume the fact that he is my husband and has family in the UK and has been granted a visa since that episode (where we were honest about the previous incident), hopefully should prevent problems with his next application.
I am confused and a bit worried by the 10 year ban for using deception rule? My husband was found to have a back-dated stamp in his passport when he applied for his fiance visa in 2006. I posted the full details at the time but he'd basically been on a student visa in the uk, had applied for an ...
Am not 100% sure how they discovered it initially. I've heard that they use special lights to check stamps in passport and my husband's was taken away and stamped so maybe they didn't use an official date stamp. On the day of his interview though they then asked which flight he'd come back on and ...
I have used this site for advice over the last 2 years and thought I would post some good news as it seems to get gloomier and gloomier on here! I first posted in April 2006 when my then fiance had his fiance visa refused after the ECO discovered that he had an entry stamp to his home country back ...
Hi everybody, I got brilliant advice from lots of you when my husband was refused a fiance visa in April 2006 when it came to light that he had a false immigration stamp in his passport. I won't re-tell the story here as I have a new query and the old story is in a previous thread. Since then - we ...
I am just writing to update the people kind enough to give me advice so far and to beg for some more... My fiance and I are planning to get married in August in Nigeria. Since his fiance visa was refused he has managed to get a fantastic job. I have visited him again recently and got a really good ...
I was just wondering if anybody has any thoughts on our current worry. My fiancee's passport was taken at his interview for his fiance visa. It is one month on and although 2 batches of passports have been sent to the Nigerian Immigration offices the British Embassy still has hold of his. Following ...
I am so grateful for the advice received so far. We seem to have more options now! I think we will probably marry in Nigeria next month and spend some time putting together a really good marriage visa application with as much legal help as possible. In response to Kayalami - my finances aren't in ...
Thank you John I do think it is important for us to know our options and your suggestion is very interesting and seems the potential quickest way to sort out this problem and would allow me to stay close to the UK. I would still like to know if you or anybody else thinks an appeal against the fiance ...
Thank you for your thoughts so far. We have already considered settling in another country and our intention to be together is genuine whatever the circumstances. I still would lke to know if he is likely to be permanently prevented from gaining entry to the UK even if for example we reapplied in a ...
Will the British Home Office tell him if he has no chance of gaining a UK visa in the future or will he just keep getting future applications refused? I am so worried about this. I know he did the wrong thing but it was a split second misjudgement with extenuating circumstances and wasn't to cover ...
Also the reason my bank account has been low as I've been saving to get marrried - I actually have over £10,000 in savings. He also has assets in Nigeria which he can bring over. It didn't occur to me that finances would be a problem from my wages. Again would the fact that he was grief sticken at ...
I agree he was silly to lie - it was a heat of the moment decisian whilst he was tired and upset. Is there any point in appealing then? Would it make more sense to get married now and apply for a marraige visa instead?
I hope you can help as I think we are in a bit of a mess. I am a UK citizen. I met my fiancee in August 2004 and we got engaged a year later. He is Nigerian and was on a student visa from entering the country in Sept 03. It expired Oct 31st 2005. He applied for an HSMP visa in July 2005 but was ...
