Applying for a fiancee visa is probably your only option though it may be interesting as the British Consulate are likely to check to see if your 'fiancee' is married, which she is, though to you. Will my spouse have any chance in getting a Fiancee visa according to above as she married to Burmese ...

Am I missing something? OP said his ILR was invalid since he failed to apply after getting a returning resident stamp, so how can he be a BC? I know i've missed something! I presumed his ILR was invalidated after he got BC (it should have been invalidated for more than the reasons mentioned because...

Well, you say you hold dual citizenship, but your original citizenship doesn't allow dual, so really as far as your original country (Burma?) is concerned you are actually not dual and are holding the passport illegally. And as it does it readily accept marriages to foreigners, you probably married ...

Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:What is the citizenship of your wife?

A very key question, as depending on her citizenship she may be able to use just 5(2) even if she hasn't got a Residence Card.

thanks for the replies.. So can I travel freely and goto ITALY THROUGH A CONNECTING FLIGHT...legally. Actually you are still technically not sticking to the 'rules' as Germany should be your main destination. First destination only matters if you are spending equal time in multiple countries. (Thou...

Hi, my wife is here in the U.K on a settlement visa and recently I applied for her a SCHENGEN visa at the GERMAN consulate for a short trip to the Europe. The German consulate has granted her the visa but we wish to go to ITALY instead, italy will be our main and only destination. Is it possible to...

I don't think it's clear cut: is his proposed stay of more than 6/12 months an indication that Sydney Guy is intending at the time of his visit to "base" himself in the UK? If he retains significant ties to Australia, along with an intention to marry somewhere other than the UK and then return to A...

Depends if you think you can carry enough proof of your intentions with you when you travel, and are willing to take the chance of being turned away. What ongoing commitments do you have in Australia alongside your travel plans for the wedding? Do you have a job, property, financial commitments to ...

Also read the paragraph below in the requirments, interesting! "NB. Passports will not necessarily be stamped to show embarkation from the United Kingdom. In these and other circumstances (e.g. involving lost or stolen passports), applicants should be given the benefit of any doubt where claimed ab...

You could have applied for naturalisation within 3 months of entering Australia. You would have, perhaps , satisfied the residential requirements then. Only if it was a holiday and you were going to return to the UK would you stand some chance, otherwise you don't meet the requirement "have been re...

Thanks for thew reply So do you agree that I can apply from abroad for citizenship from being the spouse of a Brit? Thanks Yes you can, but only if you fulfil the requirements for naturalisation . regards Which the OP has already stated they haven't.... (ie they didn't move to Australia because the...

In some cases it is possible to get British citizenship whilst not in the UK, but unfortunately just being married to a 'normal' British citizen is not enough. If you want British citizenship you need to return to the UK and live here for at least 9 months. I thought they scanned visas/passports on ...

In 2012 ILR will probably have been replaced by probationary citizenship (which isn't the final stage in the immigration path) so the rules may have changed. I'm guessing there will be even less chance of you being eligibile if you aren't resident here.

This is the guidance used by the case workers.. "There is no specific requirement in the Rules that the entire probationary period must be spent in the United Kingdom. For example, where an applicant has spent a limited period outside of the United Kingdom in connection with his employment, this sho...

Presumably with no housing costs to take into account, even that £1000 will help. But do make it clear that assuming the visa is granted, one of you will be going out to work, and that can even apply while she is still on a fiancée visa, because while she cannot do paid work at that stage, there ...

He can come on visit visa for the time being As he has already applied for and been refused a settlement visa a few years back he may be refused a visitor visa anyway as the ECO may believe he's going to try to use it to settle anyway. Also the requirements for a visitor visa are you have a reason ...

Here's how you claim any taxes that you are due back. http://search2.hmrc.gov.uk/kbroker/hmrc/forms/viewform.jsp?formId=766 Basically the amount you could be due assuming you have the normal tax code (647) and pay basic rate tax only (20%) is about £108 for every month until the end of the tax (Ap...

Not personally convinced that you can claim that a man under the age of 65 who has been working full-time until now actually needs care....

You are limited with other options, even a visitor visa might be difficult, and may make it more difficult to get a visitor visa.

Thanks for your help.What about taxes i have paid while i was working here? Can I get back the tax money I paid? Thanks If due to leaving the country you are only going to work part of the current tax year then you should be be due a refund of some or maybe even all of the taxes you've paid this ta...

hmm - I understand that applying at the age of 65 would be better. However, I am inclined to apply as it is difficult and may even be illegal to continue staying where he is without employment for another 6 months. I'll repeat my earlier comment which is directly from the UK immigration rules - to ...

From what I've read I understand that it's important to make some progress with wedding preparations, however tentative - I can certainly do that now, too. Some people think it is, though we had no wedding preparations at all and it didn't cause us any problems. Without knowing when her visa is goi...

And also in the six months we've been apart we've spoken every day on the phone but I've been using an international phone card so her number in Korea doesn't show up - would that be an issue? I've sent her cards every couple of weeks too, if that would help. For the fiancee visa all you need to do...

iii) since he has now lost his job, I will be making regular contributions to him by means of a wire transfer It's not just that you will be making contributions to him, it whether he's wholly or mainly dependent on those contributions.
