Hi all, I am a marriage based green card applicant in London UK. My wife is in NJ now. I had my visa medical appointment on the 30th of April 2021 in London and didn’t pass it due to missing some vaccination records. I completed my visa interview on the 10th of May 2021 and it was failed pending the...
Hi, As I mentioned theres a family emergency so it literally cannot wait :((( Original plan was to apply first for spouse visa then travel. If the worst happens and she is let in only as a visitor then she has to go back to US and apply for spouse visa. Im not sure if that's easier than applying in ...
Hi all, Im hoping you guys can help with this.. The situation is that my wife is a US citizen and we are legally married in the UK. She is however here on a student visa which expires late 2017. She has just finished her course and her final exams. She is awaiting graduation in July. She wants to vi...
Indeed, Alhamdulillah! I dont think she will need the english requirements as she is a US citizen and is studying for her degree here at present but ill check :) We decided to go down getting our marriage registered down here route anyways because by the time we translate the marriage certificate fr...
Oh cool! So that would save us the hassle of the town hall registry marriage etc. Can i ask if there is any advantage to doing the registry marriage here? I mean does it make it a more solid or simpler application / better chance of success etc? And they wont say anything since she came to this coun...
Ahh, CR001.. You mention a very interesting point. We had our reception in Bangladesh on the 4th of Jan 2013 and we DO HAVE a nikkah (islamic marriage) certificate from Bangladesh. Youre saying this could be recognised? In this case how would we do things differently in terms of the application with...
Casa, CR001, Thank you for your comprehensive and clear reply. So basically our Nikkah certificate from august 2012 is not even recognized and we must go through the registry marriage route here via the council. Is there any point mentioning to the HO that we got religiously married in 2012 in the U...
Dear all, Hoping you can advise us on our situation. My wife who is a US citizen is on a student visa till July this year. We got married (islamic marriage nikkah ceremony) in London on the 19th of Aug 2012. Since then we have been living together in the same flat in London. We would now like to app...
Hi Just need some advice please. My elderly parents in Bangladesh have already been refused a visit visa once a few months ago because the Eco was not satisfied they would return as my dad is retired. The reasons were unfair but what can we do. I have been sick for a long time and recently my condit...
Thanks Wanderer.. yep we are reapplying.. The cover letter I think will be very important here and needs to address all the reasons for refusal. The refusal letter gave reasons that included not understanding my dads finances and no evidence of employment and income received. ECO was not sure where ...
oh no :( but isn't there someone higher up we can take this to? Clearly this is not our fault. The refusal letter says 2 reasons for refusal. 1. We didn't explain finances. This was all explained in the lawyers cover letter which the officer at the submission centre in dhaka didn't accept! 2. No evi...
Dear all, I hope someone can advise us in this tricky case. My elderly parents applied for a UK visit visa from bangladesh and we got refused. We used a very good immigration lawyer and the issue was not the lawyers fault. When my dad went to submit the docs at the VAC in Dhaka, the person behind th...
Hi all, My parents applied for a UK family visitor visa over 2 weeks ago from Dhaka. They had an interesting experience at the VSF centre in Dhaka where they submitted their docs etc. The VSF officer returned some documents including a cover letter, their marriage certificate, and their land registr...

SSWSZ, If you have any examples at all of an invitation letter i can write to invite my parents that would be most appreciated sir. My email is email address, or you can post here.
Hi thanks again.. im just a bit worried about my mums application as she is my fathers dependent. I believe according to the lawyer that she will have to make a separate application? She has little savings of her own and her english isnt great either. Of course i can show my own savings to show i ca...
Thank you so much sswsz. Yes the lawyer wants to charge £600 :( do you know the actual process? My dad said over there they have to go for an interview after submitting the forms? It's a bit worrying..I don't even know how the lawyer can help from here since everything has to be submitted there. I'm...
Hi yes we only want a visit visa. They don't want to live here permanently. I think just to be safe I should still go through a lawyer. What do you think? Thanks for your help.
Dear all, I am hoping you fine people can help or advise here. I would like to invite my parents to come to visit me in the UK from Bangladesh and was wondering how hard this process actually is. I'd like to know: 1. how long the process takes from applying to getting the visa and what length they g...
Hi Devonian.. Yes i totally agree, the feeling of happiness and contentment I had when I got that passport was well worth the effort! I have booked a holiday next week to Malaysia lol. I think I need it. Also agree with your points regarding patience for the rest of the people waiting. Wish you and ...
Good Morning everyone!!! Today Alhamdulilah, by the grace of God I have recieved my passport back with ILR stamped in Liverpool It took nearly 7.5 months, as well as a letter from my lawyer, then a letter from my MP. I sincerely wish everyone here who is waiting, a successful outcome very soon
