Hi, I have looked in the ILR forum and couldn't find any answers to my queries. Could somebody help ? Sec 6.11 - Do I need to fill this section if I had not spent any time in Crown dependencies ? Is this not the same what I fill in sec 6.2 for absences outside UK ? Sec 7.12 - Do I need to fill UK a...

You'll be asked why you didn't apply for asylum on entry instead of waiting for your visitor visa to expire. How long have you been in the UK? A visitor visa only allows you 6 months in every 12 months, even with a multiple entry visa. What happened to the successful application for settlement you ...

Is your life/safety at risk of you return to your home country? :? yes as i am involved with the BNP party in Bangladesh and escaped on my multiple visa from earlier on to get out of the country, can i now change that visa or apply for Asylum?

Hi Guys, I want my Mom and Sister to visit me in UK for 4 weeks. They both applied HC issued visa for my mom but refused my sister. The basis for refusal is that Immigration officer thinks that my sister wont go back to pakistan after her visit. What sort of documents I can attach in order to satis...

Hi, I wanted to bring my wife to UK on visit visa for 2 months. She is currently pursuing her graduation in India. I'm sponsoring her fully. I have few questions. If someone can answer all those questions, would be very helpful: #1. She doesn't have surname. She has only forename in her passport. W...

I would suggest you contact the UKBA as they would have all the records and would advise you on the best way forward.

Good luck.

thanks so the suggestion would be to go back home and then apply for another visa and try to get back here.

Is there a section on here for Asylum and how to claim it?

Hi Apologies if this is in the wrong area but could not find a suitable place to place this so will try here. The question is is there anyway to transfer my multiple visitor visa to the following: 1. Student visa 2. Investor visa 3. Any other routes to transfer or make the visitor visa into a more p...

I very much you will get backdated child benefit as they asked you for information and it was not supplied therefore in there view the case is closed and a fresh application will have to be made.

The fact that you have been out of the uk for 2 years would kinda render you no longer a british citizen or would have implications as they would say "you have lived outside the uk for 2 years so why the sudden need to come back to uk and do you really need your british residency. Unless you can pro...

SunKanni, How long have you been out of the uk for? I would suggest you as the sponsor not being in the UK is not a good thing? You should be in the UK and supply the other half all the necessary papers to make the application. I may be wrong but that is what i cna make out of your post as it is not...

As far as i am aware UKBA will not accept computer printouts of bank statements, if you explain to bank waht they are required for, i am sure for a small charge the bank can do this for you or give you a letter to say they are unable to supply bank statements other than computer printouts.

Good luck!

I would mention it in the application otherwise they will find out and consider you to be not a good citizen, whereas if you disclose it at least you are admitting i was at fault for a trivial petty offence but i have disclclosed it nad good luck mr/mrs/miss!

You have to travel within 28 days of visa being granted is the maximum unless there is exceptional circumstances i think. The best thing is to check the documentation you received back from BHC and follow that.

Check the UKBA website for more info - it will be all on there.

Hi, Without an application, you are further ruining your chances, i would suggest submit your application ASAP with the CORRECT Forms and follow the guidance available from UKBA to the law and provided you have all that, you should be fine. I Assume you are referring to applying for ILR after stayin...

To be honest I would be honest in your appeal and use the claim "grounds on humanitarian grounds etc " - Standard blah blah and buy some time.

Bump!!!!

I do not promote illegal working so wanted to just check to see what your views are on this: "I have been approached by someone who has made a legacy case in Dec 2k9 saying he has the right to work in the uk, the only letter i have seen is that his application has been acknowledged and he has no nat...

Naveen if you have applied via the Visa4U service then on there website they should have timescales but for settlement depending on strenght if application, back log etc it can take anything between 1 week to 3 months.

Ok Bharat i think i understand what you are saying: 1. She initially got married in 2002, she now has ILR for the uk and holds an indian/british passport???? She is working full time etc. 2. She got divorced from her original husband who she married in 2002 in UK/India? (Please clarify) - Did she ge...
