Historically for kids under appendix fm the IHS fee wasn't charged during application. What happened is that they identify it as a requirement later and then get email asking you to pay later and giving about a week or so to pay. As such won't worry about it being shown as zero but do need to budget ...
You may also want to have a read of the link below. Probability of success for an adult dependent relative application is considered very low and failure means visit visa is unlikely after that so only worth considering if a) needs care and b) you are confident of success not just a hope. I ...

One thing you didn't mention is the nationality and status of the woman that is the mother of the baby, whether she was married and if married the status and nationality of her husband. All of those could be factors giving British nationality to the child. There are some quirky rules under ...
Police are not experts on immigration matters so would not rely on anything they say in that regard. That said don't believe there is anything in the caseworkers guidance that covers legal checks on the applicants spouse (your friend). He should have evidence to cover his job as at now and assume ...
We are applying for a spouse visa for my wife and there is a question if you have any dependants under 18. If answer is yes they ask dependant's name, nationality and passport number. We have a daughter 2 month who was born British but lives with my wife in the Philippines currently. We have ...
Visa is granted on basis of evidence presented. Won't be looked at again until you need to do the next spouse extension at the 2.5 year point by which time hopefully you will have a job to help cover or your husband's hours or job will be resolved
As Italian citizens then would have expected your niece and nephew to have qualified for settled status on their own merits. Key requirement would have been that they were EU citizens. Their mother should have been able to qualify as either spouse of Italian Citizen or mother of Italian citizen. As ...
(b) To evidence dividends (except where paragraph 9 applies) or other income from investments, stocks, shares, bonds or trust funds: (i) A certificate showing proof of ownership and the amount(s) of any investment(s). (ii) A portfolio report (for a financial institution regulated by the Financial ...
As a Irish citizen you can move to UK (Northern Ireland) and have immediate settled status under the common travel area rules. With settled status you can sponsor under family visa rules. Nothing to stop you living in the North and working in the South or vice versa although have to sort out tax ...
Really need to provide more information on this if going to get an answer. 1. Your friend has parent visa. Assume this is down to relationship with the mother who was British breaking down and no longer willing to sponsor him. As such only visa option for him was the parent of a British citizen ...
I understand that can apply for a replacement vignette. https://www.gov.uk/transfer-visa Visa duration for first spouse visa from overseas is 33 months so definitely risk that will require an additional spouse extension visa to get to the five year point. May be possible to avoid that by applying as ...
Can probably get away with spouse visa extensions when abroad although spouse would need to return to UK for that and potential issues with proving living together in UK. If not renting out house then should have evidence trail in terms of letters but face questions down stream over whether ...
One of major things to consider is medical. On spouse visa NHS access is covered whereas on tourist visas using NHS has to be paid for or need insurance. Certain amount of ability to take a risk on this when young but should really include annual medical or travel insurance costs when comparing ...
Very weak argument that going back to uk to do English test as can be done now (wife did it in UK when on marriage visit visa) before going to Gibraltar or from abroad as most spouse and fiance visa applicants do. As described, have breached immigration rules and canceled plane tickets previously ...
If I remember correctly the correct route is marriage visit visa for those planning on getting married even if from non visa countries. Wife used that option and visa application and decision time is short circa three weeks several years ago. She was a visa required national so easy decision as ...
Forgot to mention that if born in Northern Ireland and adopt children then will have option to register the Adoption with the Irish international adoption agency which will give the kids the right to Irish Passports which is backup if have problems with HMPO and British passports - I had that route ...
If you are going down the adoption route then need to think about where you will do. Doing adoption in UK will give them instant British citizenship once approved in UK court so end of the visa route for them at that point. Won't necessarily be recognised in home country and there are potential ...
OP didnt post all details of the mother's status but he did say that son was born before 2006 (1998). Rules changed in 2006 to cover citizenship from father when unmarried. As such think he is covered under section below. That said the devil is in the detail so may be some point not aware of such as ...
Worth having a read of guidance in link below as may provide an alternative solution. Reading your post sounds like eligible to go down that route. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/form-ukf-guidance/form-ukf-guidance-accessible-version Example George was born in the USA in 1969. His father ...
https://www.gov.uk/family-permit/apply-retained-right-of-residence I believe that is the relevant guidance and based on details you provided it sounds like he would have retained rights to apply for settled status. Kids in UK would also give additional rights to stay. Reading guidance key issue I ...
As secret simon has said there is need to apply to the EU setlement scheme. When your child arrived in 2018 as a non-eu passport holder needed some form of approval to move which in this case was the EU family permit. Childs mother probably applied to the EU settlement scheme to make this easier ...
If baby has irish citizenship will not need to go through appendix FM as should be covered under common travel area rights which pre date EU. Will need the irish passport for entry or some form of temporary visa for entry if using foreign passport. If you are an Irish citizen living in UK before ...
Two options that I can think off to generate some form of response are: 1. Raise a complaint https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and-immigration/about/complaints-procedure 2. Write to the MP for the area you live in and ask them to query why not returned and where the passports are ...
My view is they are particularly bad at responding. Wife applied for citizenship from abroad and any requests for confirmation of document receipt were never answered. I think that they take the line that only get an answer if applying from within the UK. Also wont get any updates within the six ...
