We are applying for my brother in law to come and visit us next year from Pakistan. I am wondering if a house inspection report is needed for his application. I don't think it is, but my husband thinks it is needed. We live in my Dad's house and have a spare reception room downstairs that can be con...

Thanks for the swift response joh

Hi, I am a Pakistani national, but I have ILR with a spouse visa. I am working full time in the UK. Will it be hard for me to get a visa to France for a holiday? I would like to go preferably for a day or 2, and visit Disney Land. Can someone tell me the visa process, and whether it will take long o...

Hi, My husband is applying for ILR. We want to send the form off tomorrow. We are a little stumped right now, as we have got 3 months of bank statements and wages slips for my husband - and we are sending these off. My husband has never been overdrawn, and he always has around £1000 in his account ...

what the hell is that supposed to mean? Ignorant idiot

Hi, my husband doesnt hold a british passport and i dont know how to get an egyptian visa for him so we can go on holiday...what is the exact protocol? Who do I contact? What do i do? Help!!!

My husband got his visa to the UK in October, 2008. He has been in the country for 6 months, and we would like to go on holiday to Egypt. I want to know if it is ok for him to leave the country for 2 weeks and how he would go about getting a visa for Egypt as he has a pakistani passport. Will he be ...

yes it is moving to Dubai, because most pakis are fraudsters who are easily bribed with a couple of grand. Im glad it is moving because at least genuine people will get a chance to get a visa rather than all those ones who pay cash for visas....and yes it does happen - my dad's friend was in one of ...

yea well its happened to me hasnt it? I have to work full time and leave my baby in child care, and then what for? I dont see her all day and still my husband isnt here. Ive prayed as much as i could for the past year, and now ive just given up on everything. Praying doesnt help, its just bad luck. ...

NO IT WILL NOT. I was pregnant when we applied for my husbands visa last year, and they did not take this into account at all. we were refused. This time I have a small baby and Im working full time and paying £715 per month for child care, and they wont take this into account either. We'll probabl...

No we applied in Islamabad...Nothing works...its just pathetic really

Oh and Impactcrew - how are you tracking the passport online? as my husband and I are finding it impossible. What is the application number format? Thanks.

i DONt know what youre all complaining about. We applied for my husbands visa in May last year, and he was refused in Augustt 2007. I havent seen my husband for 1 year and 4 months. He hasnt met his daughter, and I havent seen his face for that long. If you think not seeing your husband/wife for a f...

NOPE, that doesnt work either....nothing seems to work, its hopeless.

Hi, I am wondering is anyone else out there, who has submitted a visa application in Pakistan having trouble using the passport tracking servce on the visa dropbox website and on the ukvacpk website? My husband and I find that everytime we have entered the application number (which is the GRY-PK-XX-...

Hi, no i am not getting tax credits or child tax credit - just child benefit....I'm British. Why has my post been moved? I'm not trying to claim benefits, I'm asking if getting child benefit will affect my husband's visa application....hmm..ok, thnks though...oh ok now i see...good call..This sectio...

Thank You very much!

I have a letter from my Dad saying we can live with him and a declaration from my Dad's solicitor stating that there is sufficient space available to house 3 adults and a baby - I hope that will be enough to please them.

Last year we waited 3 MONTHS for a reply to our application. They were giving visas out in 1-3weeks to 5 different ppl i know from September to January....This is so annoying..I havent seen my husband for over a year and he hasnt even met his daughter, because our visa and appeal were refused, and n...

Hi, Im applying for my husbands visa and towards the end of the application form they ask about sponsor's receiving benefits. I receive child benefit for my daughter, is this classed as a benefit which I have to tell them about? and should I send documents showing I receive child benefit? The way I ...

Sushil - that is complete bull* and stop making ppl needlessly worried - we are all stressed out enough as it is. My husband's visa was refused last March in appeal, because I wasnt working at the time due to having a 4 month old baby. The Immigration judge told me that I should have been earning mo...

My husband's settlement visa was refused last August, and Im in the process of making a new application. However, is it possible for him to still come over to the UK on a visit visa? Or will it be refused on the basis that his settlement visa was refused, and that he has family here (my daughter and...

hum786 - No he didnt....Im applying again in August.

I would think so.......is somebody in trouble?

I've just perused through your comments, and if you're talking about the Gerry's Visa service webpage, well when I applied for my husbands visa last year, their system's crashed in August, and I couldnt keep track of anything, and the idiots there had no idea about anything. Has this service EVER wo...

My husband has over £9,000 in savings in his account in Pakistan, and his visa was still refused...its all BS.
