It may help if his employer does confirm that he was confusing your brother-in-law with another employee. Do they have similar names and date of births, etc.? Good question. And the employer had two people wanting to go at the same time, did he? Hm. Big company is it? Sorry to raise a sceptical not...

She doesn't need a residence card or anything - she has ILR and the legal right to work in the UK so we would not apply for anything more (I am not sure I understood your point in this paragraph). I think my point was that as your wife has never made an application under EEA Regulations she may per...

That's an interesting conundrum, the answer to which I do not claim to know, so these are just a few random thoughts on the matter. The "Surinder Singh" principle, which is what you are seeking to exploit, developed because it was thought that someone who had exercised the right to live and work in ...

First question: my brother-in-law isn’t banned for 10 years is he? Oh yes he is. Effectively if he applied again he would be automatically refused under Para 320 7 B on the grounds that he had used deception in a previous application and this would then trigger the ban. Second question: Can we appe...

You need to play any long distance, immigration bound, relationship as a long term game. My wife is from South American and we were apart for 4 years before she was able to arrive, but because we played within the rules we were able to do it entirely legally, without too much hassle, and with no is...

In the nearly 3 weeks of been in removal center each time i visit she brings all paper work, Only paper i see is a sceening ? and signed paperwork of her instructing solicitor. To which when i phone him he doesnt seem to have any answers ??? Dear me. The "screening interview" is as the name suggest...

End of the day I still see it as she was duped and is a victim of human trafficking and she is locked up when escaping the bastards that brought her here. We would comply to any rules given by immigration, just want her out of the place as its making her ill as each day passes I'm sorry for your di...

During my time as an Immigration Officer I dealt with a number of Thai illegals/overstayers, usually women arrested in circumstances similar to the lady featured here. They were invariably removed back to Thailand. The only motive for this woman to come to the UK was to be with the OP, who was compl...

You've already had the correct answer twice, which is that a civil court judgement for debt is not a criminal conviction, and not relevant to your ILR application. Continually asking the same question just looks like attention-seeking. Unfortunately your failure to pay your debts is not a reason to ...

No, we've never lived together and shared expenses, before. Would it be the same if he tried moving here with me? Yes, if you spent 2 years living together in the USA, that would satisfy the "relationship" part of the requirements. However, there are also financial requirements that have to be sati...

I know of nowhere in Europe equivalent to those places in the USA such as Las Vegas where people go for an instant marriage - except possibly Scotland, which is of course part of the UK. It was always a tradition that young couples whose parents objected to the match would run away to Gretna Green t...

What's a Schengen non-EU passport?

I was going to say she has little option other than to apply for a Returning Resident Visa. However, on second thoughts if she has already acquired British citizenship, she no longer has "Indefinite Leave to Remain", she does not require any form of Leave to Remain as she now has Right of Abode in t...

"If you will supply financial support and accommodation for your visitor, and/or you will pay for their travel to the UK, they will need to provide: copies of your bank or building society statements and payslips for the last 6 months ; or a copy of your savings account book."

I don't think there is much prospect of securing residence for your child in those circumstances. See this from the relevant UKBA web page:- Children cannot normally come to settle in the UK unless both parents are settled here or have been given permission to settle here. The only exceptions are wh...

Info needed:- 1-Your Nationality and immigration status in the UK 2- Mother's nationality, where is she? 3- Are you married to the mother? Were you married when the child was born? 4- Are you named as the father on the birth certificate? In general terms, before 2006 a British mother could pass on h...

"The prior "alleged" deception is a greater element but not insurmountable. Note that I say "alleged" because it was never proven by way of court conviction. Additionally, no criminal prosecution was brought so it can't have been that grave" That is just irrelevant sophistry. The OP appealed agains...

There is no reason for the Pakistani authorities or the airline to deny you travel. You have a valid visa, that's all they need. The UK IO may wish to assure himself that there has been no change of circumstances since the visa was issued. Clearly because of the change of dates you will now spend so...

It is your sister who has to apply, not you. She can apply for a visit visa at any British Entry Clearance Office in any country.

Oh and you know that for a fact do you?

The Entry Clearance record system is a stand-alone database separate from the Case Information Database which UK-based caseworkers use, and you have probably only been supplied with data from the latter. As far as I am aware, only operational grades and a few other units are authorised to access the...

I am all confused now. I thought I had it all worked out. Then when we have this "evidence" of living together, we should apply for her "family residence permit" Then when we have the "family residence permit" Then apply for entry clearance at the UK Embassy in France. Then we could take the DFDS f...

...I decided not to mention that I was engaged to this persons son, only that he is a "friend".. Was this attempted deception mentioned in the refusal notice? If so, then any future application will also be refused, but the notice should say this. If not, you can re-apply, but the first question th...

Normally, if you request return of your passport to travel outside the UK, your application will be treated as withdrawn. See this page (51) of UKBA's caseworking instructions for further info:- http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/modernised/applications/specified-fo...
