Yes, she can visit; no she can't switch. Her ties to home will be under scrutiny if she hopes to be granted a visit visa. Thank you for your reply.

I am currently on Tier 1 (General) which expires June 2012. My wife intends to come to UK on a visitor visa soon (she doesnt want to apply as a dependant yet for some personal reasons). Firstly, just wondering if that is ok? Secondly, I have just found the following document on UKBA's site which sta...

How did you manage to find the forms on the website?

I need to sponsor someone to come to the UK as a visitor and they have asked me to link them the PDF so they can download the form.

Thanks. I am going to take my undergrad and postgrad degrees (both from UK) with me and I think the caseworker has to be really stupid to doubt them.

[quote="chetanojha"]You are working "after" your degree completed. You do not need letter from University. You are good to go.

Thanks a lot chetanojha.

The best news I've had was when I just called the Home Office and they gave me a number for the Appeals section (not sure why no one at HO gave me this number before?). The guy there said you can send in any documents you feel help your case, whether they were submitted originally or not - which is...

Jesus, I've never seen a cheque guarantee card that covers a payment of upto £1020.

Due to a problem with my old bank card, I may not get a replacement before the appointment which is in the next few days. Is it possible to pay them by cheque?

You can inform HO if you wish for your change of your address. I don't understand why you need to inform/report Police for that? And I dont understand why he needs to inform any of them? Does he think they really care or is it really important to inform them of the move? ..Or he just taking the bur...
