Just bumping this to see if anyone can help. Really want to get the application submitted tonight if we can. Thank you

If anyone has any thoughts on the above questions we’d really appreciate it. We’re hoping to submit this application this evening and we’re really unsure on the best way to approach the above points. Thanks.

Following the helpful advice above we were trying to complete the application form and are nearly there but there are a couple of questions that we are not sure how best to answer: 1. Please give reasons why it would be difficult to establish a private life in another country. So far we've put ...

Thanks so much for the answer, it's really helpful.

Thank you. Yes I was just rereading the guidance and thinking that just submitting the masters certificate is the best way forward on this point. Thanks all for the advice.

C1 academic level is although higher than A2/B1 but caseworker is chained up with HO list of approved tests & centres as below. However, I think if it was accepted initially and now is still in the HO list then may be accepted again. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... ebsite.pdf Thanks so ...

2. A2/B1 Ielts life skills will be needed 3. If you taken the property from estate agent then he need not give the NOC letter of permitting your partner to stay there.

So plans had continued and we started doing the student visa application at the weekend, and realised that in the online form we will have to give all my details on that form as it has options for unmarried partner, fiance etc (the printed one that we reviewed previously just had single or married ...

just giving this another go as I would be really grateful for any advice as to whether it is ok if my partner applies for a student visa (from outside the UK) and at the time of application his status is given as single, and then we get married before we arrive in the UK with him on the student visa ...

Hi - my partner and I are currently living in South America. Im British and he has a place to study a masters in London from September. The idea is that he will apply first for a student visa and arrive in the UK with that and that we will then apply as soon as possible for a spouse visa (we meet ...

what is the time requirement for that route - how long do you have to spend in the other country? He's already accepted to UCL and really excited about the course. We actually looked at unis in the Netherlands before he applied to UCL and non of the courses were quite right for what he wanted. sigh ...

Thanks - i feared that would be the case but really helpful to test this anyway and get your view. We are a bit stuffed then on a partner application it seems :( Well you can still go for it. But be realistic. And have a Plan B, whether that is marriage &/or considering Surinder Singh ; (actually ...

yes, we may have to revisit time scales for that

If you get married, you don't need cohabitation documents. It is the same application - partner/spouse visa and could have continued in your other thread. Which thread do you want to keep active? I will lock the other then to avoid duplicate posts/responses. From my point of view i have the answers ...

In addition to Noajthan's sage advice, Case Workers generally want to see evidence of joint commitments, shared finances, bank accounts etc. More than would be expected in a girlfriend/boyfriend or house mates situation. so explaining in a letter how we work our finances wouldn't work - i.e. he ...

apologies - i felt that the topics were slightly different - albeit related - the other was more general and also re student visa and this was specific to the evidence needed to satisfy the residential test - I assumed it would be more use to others to make the post specific to the question, again ...

the life together isn't a problem, we've tones of photos together and with both families. we've greetings cards and the like, and wedding invitations to both of us. together with emails, skype records, whatsapp, facebook etc. We are really limited on the evidence of actually both living at our ...

Hi all I am trying to work out what evidence we can put together to show that we've lived together "in a relationship akin to marriage" in order to apply for a partner visa and i'd be really grateful for views on whether the following would suffice. We were travelling together for the first 8 months ...

Thanks so much for your replies. We are planning to get married but hadn't intended to do it so soon - its a logistical nightmare with the two countries and my partner isn't keen to do it without both families present at the same time. So partner route would be better but I worry about our lack of ...
