Re: To OVERTURN ECO's decision

As I have already mentioned in my previous posts, my mrs's settlement visa has been refused and now we are in process of lodging an appeal against the ECO's decision. I have come up with an idea of sponsoring my wife to UK as a visitor for 6 months of period. Comment by ECO: "I am not satisfied you...

What is the importance of the p60? I thought that having payslips and bank account statements would be enough to satisfy the financial aspect of 'no recourse to publice funds'. Could someone explain what the amount of tax paid would add? In the future my wife and I will move back to the UK and we wi...

I don't know what to say on the chances. What I would say is of course wait and see what the advice is here on the forum, but I would say that if it was me, I would want to talk to a lawyer at some point and also to probably get him/her to prepare the visa application too. I would definitely find ou...

Just keep strong and you'll find a way. I know it's easy to say but you have to try.

Look at it this way now you know why they refused the application. You can now go and make a water tight application showing why their decision was wrong.

Good luck.

Re: How does the UK know you left?

Hello Everyone, My question is, if you come in on a visitors visa and leave at the correct time how do the authorities know that you came in and left on time? My situation is that I live in the US with my wife. I am a UK Citizen and my wife an Indian citizen. Somewhere down the line we will move to...

-[SNIP]- The British officials are fully aware that there are no routine exit controls at UK ports: it is a situation that they face every day. They are therefore not going to be looking for proof from passports or (non-existent) records of departures. -[SNIP]- I think that this is the thing I wasn...

So what is the official way of doing it? No one asked or told us to do anything different to what we did. When we arrived my wife told the immigration official that we were staying for two weeks and then leaving back for the US. We also showed our Green Cards and the flight e-ticket. My wife and I s...

From my understanding this is the only point where the sponsor can make a case for the visa. So I would try and write the letter in a way that you are talking to the Entry Clearance Officer. As they are probably looking at three main things.. No recourse to public funds. Adequate accomadation. Evide...

Can spouse settlement visa take place from a 3rd country?

Hello All, I was reading Chapter 13 on the UK visas, they state: ".....As the application for entry clearance will normally be made in the country in which the marriage took place, ECOs will be well placed to determine whether a particular marriage is valid under local law....." Now the situation wi...

Another question to ask would be if you got married in Las Vegas, would you be able to go to Los Angeles and apply for a spousal visa from there?

I don't know the answer but it might be an option.

Re: How early can you apply for a spousal visa?

She may apply for a spouse visa whenever she likes. However, if she does not qualify for ILE , then to avoid an unnecessary FLR(M) extension before applying for SET(M) , she should travel no later than 28 days (4 weeks) from her visa's effective date. Thanks for the post Vinny. It's much appreciate...

My non professional understanding and just what I have read on the boards and websites, is that you have to show that your spouse wont turn to public funds. I'm not sure how much money you have to show to support this, but I have read that it should be above the income support level, which you are. ...
