Someone I know has just had thier Spouse Visa refused on not meeting the adequate maintenance calculation as they didn't include thier Universal Credit. I don't yet know the ins and outs of this as she's beside herself obviously but me and my wife will be using the same route to apply shortly. Total...

I do not see child's birth certificate in the list of documents. I would expect that it is very much will be needed. Also I hope both spouse and child hold external (!) passports. Thank you yes, good catch!. They do hold external Passports also Can you please remove and block the above poster. This...

Is this one of those BOT postings intending to stir up emotions and make board members question why on earth should the British tax payer to cover the cost of a Russian child's expensive teeth treatment, keeping in mind the vastly underfunded, overstretched state that the NHS is already in? Or perh...

To add further to that and the sole responsibility issue the Father left when he was 3 and she filed for divorce. I understand he was an abusive drunk towards them both. Judge ruled the child stays with his mother and gave him very limited visitation rights, which he never undertook. No calls, gifts...

Hi guys, Well,with the recently announced inhumane immigration changes and the increase in fees that has given us all anxiety and worry, we've decided like many to jump, upend plans and get on with it. There is a little time and we're waiting on the outcome of a fee waiver but should that be refused...

@Astronomyphilly, you already have a topic where you have this post. Please stop creating additional topics with it - they will not stay up. Keep your posts about this situation here.

I know, created that in error my dexterity isn't the best. Apologies. I tried to delete it.

Being quite unwell, disabled and in receipt of certain disability benefits we're going to apply for her spouse visa under the adequate maintenance and qualifying benefits rule in regards to the financial requirements. I do work a little but this is by the by. We were caught up in a drone strike, I w...

Just wanted to add for anyone wondering she managed to borrow the money and travel to Khazakstan to do the test. Seems whatever exceptional circumstance argument you put forward they would counter it by saying, well travel somewhere else to do it as others have, regardless of your means Nevertheless...

Apologies for the delay. She lived and worked in Ukraine but she is Russian with a Russian passport. I've spent some quite expensive time with a knowledgeable Barrister re the English language requirements. There is a provision in the rules for "exceptional circumstances" in that she cannot physical...

Apologies for the delay.

Hi guys, I posted up in the past regarding a finance visa and the difficulties we were having at the time. Well now I've more and it's quite the complex minefield to navigate, it seems every Lawyer or official you speak with gives a different answer. We did actually get married, unfortunately the wr...

Absolutely, you do what you need to do, I guess we all would. I was just thinking those that can't for one reason or another, disability etc it just seems a bit discriminatory to deny them thier family because you don't earn some arbitrary number. But then again this last year has shown the governme...

Great, if emails and the like suffice all good. I was told get evidence of your marriage booking or notice but they outright refuse to give me anything confirming either. So we've these along with my CNI and Apostille from when we tried to get married in Russia (covid screwed it) copy my visas, all ...

Evidence of emails and enquiries with the registry are sufficient. It booked appointment is not required. It is very rare for a 10 year route visa to be granted from outside the UK and the very small Humber that have been granted to members in the forum have involved small children stuck abroad wit...

Thank you. With me not working, well not as much because of the way things are a spouse visa is out of the question. This was for the future an issue I wondered about as I'm not even certain I want to stay in the UK. Again, savings, a lot, but that doesn't count as it's not the £62k to negate all th...

If anyone can help or offer advice I'd greatly appreciate it. I should add she's a perfect travel history, been abroad plenty, no trouble etc. I'm just a little lost, we both are. Masses of conflicting information and stories. I just want to make the best case I can, she can and I'm struggling on th...

Hi guys, Apologies if this is in the wrong place but here goes.. As per my older post I didn't actually get out to Russia, would you believe it the flight ban came into effect as we were about to taxi out. I couldn't, we couldn't have been more depressed and upset. Well, months on and I still haven'...

Hi guys, I am not sure where to post this so forgive me if I'm in the wrong place. I've been lurking a little while whilst gathering information and trying to get my head around everything but I'm at the point now I need to ask you guys. I have a Russian girlfriend, its been a few years and we inten...
