Re: UK spouse visa difficulties, seeking best route to pass IELTS Lifeskills A1

Surinder Singh is a legal route as long as the UK is in the EU and you meet the requirements. You will find delays in getting a visa for your spouse to enter Ireland too. And as i read until 31/12/2020 during transition period EU laws will be applicable so I guess I can use that route during ...

Re: UK spouse visa difficulties, seeking best route to pass IELTS Lifeskills A1

I did say immigration history. So when you apply for an EEA family permit to the UK, Ireland will share all information with the UK. So in that case that will be more of a problem when using surindar singh route back to UK not now when apply for IE spouse visa..right? but then again surindar singh ...

Re: UK spouse visa difficulties, seeking best route to pass IELTS Lifeskills A1

Many have been refused after months because it is well know that Ireland is used as a back door to the UK when migrants cannot meet the UK spouse visa requirement, so applications are heavily scrutinised for Irish visas. The UK and Ireland also share immigration data/information. Ah that makes ...

Re: UK spouse visa difficulties, seeking best route to pass IELTS Lifeskills A1

Thank you iwolga, would the transitional period count toward Surrindar Singh route ? what is the minimum EU stay requirement for that? You face a few issues. Getting a visa to join in Ireland can take months and are often refused. You and you spouse would need to be in another EU state for 6 months ...

Re: UK spouse visa difficulties, seeking best route to pass IELTS Lifeskills A1

Ireland? Just because of the same language. Once you relocate/find a job there AND UK is still on EU, your wife won’t need either English test for spouse visa for Ireland or English test to return in UK later. One thing to consider though (outside immigration law) is how comfortable the life will b ...

Re: UK spouse visa difficulties, seeking best route to pass IELTS Lifeskills A1

You may have considered this option, I’m sure. However, have you tried specific colleges that tailor tuition to the skills test? My husband visited a reputable one within a city which was registered via UKBA and had no issues. He has lived in the U.K. before but there was another lady on the course ...

Re: UK visit visa for spouse(Pakistani)

There is zero hope of gaining a visit visa, forget the 5% hope. Given the circumstances and the general approach that will be taken in dealing with her application there is an impossible barrier to climb over. The ECO will not be convinced that she will return, good job or not, property or not ...

Re: UK visit visa for spouse(Pakistani)

Visit visa will more likely be refused because on application form she will have to say married to you and coming to live with you. Therefore, visa officer more likely will assume that she won't leave. Only the best solution to pass English test then apply for spouse visa. There should be very good ...
