Is the status more important to you than the person? Would you hate me for trying to earn a living decently or would you rather see me beg/or commit crimes like stealing or selling drugs? As these kind of "jobs" dont require any form of status check. Well yes you lied. You weren't making an honest ...

Yes they are increasing the age from 18 to 21. It will be in force as of 27th November 2008. You can get married when you like but if you are not both 21 as of the said date then the visa will not be issued. Regardless of if you marry before or not. It is your age at the time of application that mat...

An interesting development...

The sponsorship system could work, that is if UKBA advise the relevant organisations how it works and what to do.

Hi 1971, Thanks for your advice. We have decided to appeal and already posted all required documents to my wife so she can post them to BHC. I had already submitted proof of property ownership with original application but no details of size/accomodation was given. This time I have attached 2 diffe...

Thanks for the clarification. But the confusion is this that why they had given me visa till 27.01.2005 and inline I got extensions till 27.01.2006 and then till 27.01.2009. That I know of that is just how it works. Then up to the visa holder to apply for an exntension when needed up until ILR requ...

I am not considering my previous stay but I am confused on which date can I apply for ILR. Why? Qualification of the stay period is usually from the entry date. However, here it is from the stamp date as you were already in the UK. Therefore 5 years from the day the HSMP was stamped in your passpor...

Not all visas qualify though. Please name the visa you had before you received the HSMP?

Will you please explain how you have calculated this? As I was already in UK and and visa was given to me on 17.02.2004 till 27.01.2005 means they had given me visa till 27.1.2005 for 1 year. You applied in the UK and the date of the visa stamp is 17-02-2004, therefore, 5 years from that date you w...

Do you have a grandparent that was born in Ireland? If so, you may be entitled to Irish Citizenship but first you may be required to register on the Foreign Births Register first. Is your Mum Irish by birth? An Irish passport, as you know, will allow you to live in work in the UK without the immigra...

Are you currently working in line with your qualifications?

Hi there, Are you an Indian National? If so the following is quoted from the High Commission of India. Assuming your infant has not got a passport. Children's name cannot be entered on their parents’ passport. For a child to be given an Indian passport the birth must have been registered with the ...

Hi,

You may be eligible for T1, if you hold a degree and meet all of the other criteria for Tier 1. However, you cannot switch from the WHM scheme to T1.

Hi folks, oh thank you for that info! I've had a look at the other thread-I'm finding all this business very confusing :( But hey ho, I will try and get the information in writing (if that is at all possible). So if there is no need for FLR if you are short 2 months and the application can be put o...

There is also the Marriage Visit Visa, where u get married within the six months, return home and apply for a spouse visa. I think she should apply for a fiancée visa. This will allow her 6 months in the UK and then you can get married. Make sure the marriage is done so it is recognised for purpos...

it was written that i am not in possession of 2800 GBP and transactions were not there for past 3 months. shld i still go for admin review how do i defend my case Did you provide your statements? Is it that they were not happy with the statements? Or have you provided them but fallen short of the r...

6 months is the maximum period permitted as a visitor - that is set in the immigration rules. Do not assume that she will be granted a visitor's visa at all - from what I've read it's quite possible she will be refused entry. I think she should apply for a fiancée visa. This will allow her 6 month...

Sorry, mate this whole think smells fishy, ECO will stamp DENIED all over it unless u can give us credibilty to this relationship.

how we can get uk passport?

Well she doesn't really need one but you clearly do as you are already asking about it......well my friend it isn't going to be as quick and easy as I'm sure you thought!

I'm with previous posters on this one!!

I have asked my Mum more questions regarding his stay in the UK so far. When she said almost 3 years it got me thinking. And I asked more about his wife and the two kids. The kids are his but they are not British Citizens. The wife is here on a WP and works as a nurse; he is here on the spouse visa....

Her having another partner is no grounds for DV That wasn't what I meant in any way shape or form. I know what DV is! I wanted to know if there was somethig that covers this case under her committing adultery! Don't worry about it anyway there clearly is not! The route as discussed above I will inf...

If he does not have evidence of applying to the court for the order then he will not get another chance. He will be on the plane before he knows it. Forget DV how can he qualify - are you saying he was beaten by his wife? Unless there is prior evidence, police reports etc then I do not see what you...

Why on earth would it save him if she is sleeping with another man??? As for domestic violence - where does that fit in?? If he does not get a court order to gain access to the kids he has had it. This assumes she is not going to help him out by giving him an informal right of access in a signed do...

Unless he can get a court order granting access to his kids then he is on his way home. They are HIS kids? Yes he is the father of the kids. It is a bad situation but if she is sleeping with this other man does that save him....I have heard if there is domestic violence then things are different. L...

Ok I have a question? I have heard that someone my Mum works with has some big problems. He is on a spouse visa and his wife has refused to assist in him renewing the visa. She has moved her boyfriend in to the house. This man has two kids too. Now he faces well faced going home this weekend but he ...
