Application will be made from here in Mexico mate. She has no status as yet, shes a foreign national, non EEA..soon to be my Mrs.

Thanks vinny, although having read that site about a million times at this stage I can say the answer doesnt appear to be in that text. guess we just have to wing it, seemingly there isnt a real answer for any of this stuff. my guess is that because we arent being charged for our accommodation we wo...

in the same vein as OP but with a twist. I have a friend who is renting a home in London and he wishes to put us up, rent free for the time it takes to get our own place. Would a letter from my friend suffice for Spousal Visa or would the letter have to be from HIS landlord. I assume in his rental a...

Alright guys, thanks for past advice..now my partner and I have some sniffs of work probably after christmas so we are going to jump in feet first and start getting a file prepared for her Visa application. I thought it a good idea to initially post here a list of things we intend to include and may...

Thanks guys. Yeah we will still only be newlyweds by the time we probably get this move done. We are working on the premise that, with no huge savings to speak of currently I was gonna push forward with showing a letter of offer from future employer stating future earnings and wait until I get this ...

Quick one here. Been banging head against wall really trying to get the answer to this one so ill lay it out here and hope for a really simple response. My other thread didnt really ask this question so... Alright - Me, British...Wife is foreign. We live abroad and are coming home to the UK to settl...

new thread maybe?

We submitted marriage certificate (translated), photos together, taken over 2 years, proof of joint address, bank statements, copy of mortgage agreement of family's home in the UK, letter of invitation from family to stay, letter of offer of employment. My husband was asked to come back the followi...

If it helps, my Moroccan husband and I were in a similar situation before we re-located to the UK. We were living in Spain and had very little savings. I had a written job offer and a letter from family to say we could live with them until we found a place of our own. My husband was granted a visa ...

Thats unfortunate John...the joy, indeed! I was speaking to her about the possibility last night...im just concerned by saying ok - heres a letter of offer from my office and they want me in 4 weeks.... Then going, starting work, getting setup there...and then for some reason theres a hitch and she ...

Guys, Another quick question regarding proof of finance etc. On the basis that my wife to be and I will be travelling TO the UK, meaning I have no savings there - would a letter of offer from my company in the UK stating salary expectations be enough to justify her visa? What I mean is - is proof of...

Its a shame the application for visas take so long - the tricky thing coming to light now is that in order to provide a letter of offer of employment with a salary stated, to support my partners application...im going to have to find an employer willing to wait for me! How do you guys do it? I see p...

ill continue to go down the Mexican route. By that you mean getting married in Mexico? Two advantages in that, firstly she can work as soon as she arrives in the UK, and secondly it cuts out one visa application in the UK, namely the need to convert the fiancée visa into a spouse visa. exactly, ye...

excellent, thanks for the help guys...

I would say, go for it! With a job offer of £40K the financial test should be passed, and clearly low/no accommodation costs initially can only help. The 27-month spouse visa would be her leave to enter. How good is her English? her english is pristine. She has spent the last couple of years with ...

ill continue to go down the Mexican route.

This is stressful. Been up since 5.30 this morning trying to make phone calls and get the correct direction.

Maybe im missing something thats glaring me in the face here: The fiance visa section says that you generally should to marry within the 6 months...and for that, if your partner is from outside the EEA, you need a COA no?

The salary offer, roughly how much will you be earning? She can apply for PTE on the basis of support from me PTE? What is that? Also, how long have the two of you lived together (if indeed the two of you are living together now)? PTE sorry, im messing up my abbreviations... Permission to Enter was...

Guys I have read every thread for 10 pages and am struggling to get a clearer picture of what to expect in my particular set of circumstances. Ive been shoved from pillar to post by British Consulate in Mexico, CAB in UK, Immigration help line in UK etc, so whilst I apologise for what seems like a r...

Quick question regarding COA and visas guys, im Scottish so havent yet gotten my head round British immigration. IF my partner comes to the UK with me on a Fiance visa, it states that this entitles her to 6 months and we are expected to marry within this time, however - in the COA regulations it sta...
