Re: Homeless with a wife on Spouse Visa.

I suspect his parents have given formal notice so that they can go to the council and tell them they need a council house. I know this because I know someone who was living with her children at her parents house and the council would not give the lady a council house, because she had a roof over her ...

Re: Huge hospital bill/write off/ any consequences

Is that a sad face because you have to pay the bill that you owe because you used the service, but thought you could get away without paying, leaving the NHS to pick up the tab?

Re: Pregnant on tier 2 skilled visa UK

Why Vinny? That would mean they have to pay her maternity leave with no guarantee she will return, and they will need to pay someone to do her job. Resigning was the wrong thing to do, even if unavoidable. Finding a job when heavily pregnant will be impossible, no one will employ her for obvious ...

Re: Pregnant on tier 2 skilled visa UK

She resigned in June, it is now August. I think it is unlikely that her previous employer would re-hire her just when she is going to go on maternity leave!

Re: Marriage visitor visa refused

My wife's MVV was refused for stupid reasons, and I knew that if I tried to make a new application, it would be refused too, even if we could give more evidence to dispute their reason for refusal. To cut a long story short, I did a PAP and said that I wanted the name of the officer responsible for ...

Re: Urgent please. Child visa

So the fact is, the father has looked after the child for a year, and you can send money back to take care of him/ her. Therefore, it seems that what you've been told already is despite you getting custody, the father has been able / willing to look after him/ her. It seems harsh, but what you need ...

Re: Clawback of visa costs

The point about incurring expenses living in the UK, is that if you are going to have to leave, because you are not allowed to find another job, (which is what I suggested other board members will know the answer to) then remaining in the UK will cost you money, so you might as well return to your ...

I'm not sure your travel insurance will cover you for not leaving because you might be unable to legally return, why would it? Travel insurance is for unexpected things like the company you booked with going bust, or you break a leg and can't fly. Why are you insistent on staying in the UK until you ...

Your chances are slim, they had grave concerns that she would return as her finances did not support her ability to afford to come to the UK. The HO are mostly concerned with her a) ability to pay for her own expenses on the trip but b) mostly that she has enough ties to return home according to her ...

Seems to me to be hopeless effort, since he is now an adult he is no longer dependant on you. Just because he was younger than that when you started to try to get him over, you can no longer apply to bring a child over. If you are in a situation to send him money, do that, help him get onto the ...

In reality, her chances of getting anything from you are zero, I assume she has no money to get a solicitor and there is no legal aid for divorce cases, plus she will be out of the country soon anyway, so how can she take you to court? If she is not allowed to legally be in the country, she can't ...

Re: Sponsership after University Fail

I'm afraid that if ever there was a case that the HO would suspect that someone got themselves onto a course in the UK, so that they could find a way to remain, then this would seem likely. Surely they would dictate that once your course has finished, and especially as you have not passed, then the ...

I'm afraid you now stand next to no chance of getting her visa IMHO.

Added to that ...

Re: Spouse visa application

The HO takes the view, rightly so, that cheats should not prosper. Why would you expect someone who has tried to illegally stay in the UK to be granted a visa? What is stopping you from moving to his country, except you both would prefer to live in the UK, probably because it offers more opportunity ...

Maybe I'm oversimplifying this, but surely just letting the HO know that you have separated, that you have found out he provided false documentation to obtain his spouse visa, and that he only met you as he was here on a false student visa, should be enough for the HO to take a deep dive into his ...

I guess you also need to figure out how much the solicitor will charge you, and decide whether you want to spend ages fighting this battle racking up an extra bill, with the hope that the NHS either loses in court or backs down. I also guess you're hoping that 1 strongly worded solicitor's letter ...
