John and Greenie thank you both for your help. Greenie can i just ask in what sense have you dealt with individuals whose benefits make up a considerable amount of their income? and am i correct in assuming their applications have been successful? My own paranoia about this whole visa process is ...
Thank you for your reply. I am aware that i posted a reply earlier in this thread regarding claiming public funds, but that was aimed at whether or not my receipt of public funds would have an adverse reaction to my husbands application; the response was that it was acceptable. But UKBA also pointed ...
Hi Sorry to keep questioning advice provided on here. Please do understand that i am simply trying make sure my husbands visa application will be successful. I do fully appreciate any advice provided and appreciate people giving there time to help each other. Further to my above posts, i felt it ...
Thank you for your reply John. It is a genuine job offer arranged by my husbands sister, his sister has not filled me in on the specifics, just that there is a job offer open to him as a trainee. But i believe his wage would be in the region of £120-160 per week. Im unable to confirm this at the m ...
Sorry are you not appealing the refusal of the first visa? We were unlikely to win on appeal because we had no new evidence to provide and there was an issue with the income that we didn't not think was going to be a problem. However since the refusal we have spent hours searching for information ...
He has no specific skills as he has mainly worked in bars and restaurants. However he has been offered a job over here to train as a hairdresser, but it is an hours drive away from our home. The wage for the job has not been discussed but i'm assuming as it would be a trainee position it would be ...
Regarding my earlier posts on claiming benefits whilst applying for a settlement visa for my husband. I emailed UKBA regarding claiming benefits and applying for a settlement visa. This is their reply: "The sponsor in the UK, that is yourself, may be in receipt of public funds. As long as the visa ...
Just a quick note though, if you get in touch with your local registry office; you may have to book an appointment, but they will tell you what you need. I needed my passport, birth certificate and proof of address. They also wanted to know the address of where we were getting married, but because ...
No i didn't need any of my partners documents. As for evidence of the relationship i definitley don't believe in overkill! Unfortunatley we are still sorting our evidence for the visa, first was refused. We had no idea of the amount we should have included, so definitley better to have too much than ...
Hi, i got married last year to my Albanian boyfriend, not in Alabnia but in the Albanian embassy in Greece. The things i needed to get were 1) certificate of no impediment 2) full birth certificate 3) certified copy of bio data page from passport. The ceritificate of no impediment and birth ...
Hi i'm a little confused after reading lots of other posts on this site. Some people including moderators have said that for the financial test you need to deduct housing costs including mortgage/rent payments and council tax from your net wage but also credit/loan repayments. Which is correct? just ...
Thank you for your quick reply, as to whether or not i qualify; i'll have to find a job first but i now know that based on finding a part time job of 16 hours a week on minimum wage i will pass having already used the tax credit calculator. Is it only rent/mortgage and council tax that has to be ...
Hi, i have read lots of posts on here searching for the answers i need but can someone please clarify a few points for me; 1) Claiming both child tax credits and working tax credits will not go against my husbands spouse visa if i am a British citizen and am entitiled to them in my own right? 2) If ...
Can i also please ask your advise about my housing? I currently live in a 2 bedroom council house, which is acceptable as far as the accomadation aspect is concerned for a spouse visa. However i have been offered by my mother to live in a 3 bedroom house she has inherited with no rent to pay whilst ...
Based on this new information does this mean the only way my husband can join me here is if i get a job as well as study? If this is the case does it mean i have to earn the equivalent to the income support amounts of £102.75 for a couple per week or do i have to earn more to cover my children? or a ...
Hi, thanks for all your replies, however my husbands settlement visa has been refused. There are various reasons including a lack of evidence of our relationship which we intend to address. The problem with the evidence is that the we do not have lots as to save money we have often spoke through ...
Thank you very much for your quick replies, you both agree with my opinion on the matter, it was just the email i received from the uk border agency than confused me, but as they did not have all of the evidence they would not be able to evaluate it properly i guess. This site is very useful as i ...
Are you a British Citizen? a British Citizen is an EEA national, therefore as your wife is a member of the household of an EEA national she would be eligible to claim child benefit. The information below is from the 'no recourse to public funds' leaflet by the Home Office. Do any exceptions apply to ...
