To be honest,i think you should wait until you get the visa refusal letter (if it has been refused) It is possible they can word different. Once you recieve the letter, all the information will be in that letter.Obviously you would have put all the supporting evidence you had with this visa,so ...

i think you need to investigate more about your changing your husbands visa to a spouse visa. with what you have said so far I am not convinced that he cant be on a spouse visa. You can have a look at the ' Immigration for Family Members ' section on this forum. After the stress and money we have ...

Hi,thanks for your reply :-) This was my exact fear.I have spoken to the trvale agents and they said that if my husband has an appointment for the visa,we can al get our visas at the same time.Whether or not there is any truth in it i dont know,as all they want to do is sell you a holiday isnt it! I ...
Would thi sbe the case even though im employed and will be back to work by then? Hopefully he will be in employment by then.We are going as a family.Him,myself and our 2 children.Surely that is enough tie to the UK.Our eldest daughter is in school and is 9 years old.All my family are here in the UK ...
Hi thank you so much for your reply. My husband has been here since 2008 but was orginally on a student visa,we then tried to change to a spousal visa,which we had a number of problems,so in the end we had to appeal and go to court.He has been granted decretionary leave to remain now for 3 years ...
Hi , i have been looking all day at the American embassy website and to be honest can not make head nor tail of it all. We are planning to visit the US early next year as a family and want to obtain visa's.I have a british passport,as does my 2 children,however my husband has an african passport but ...
Stacey a word of warning on what you are doing. There is a good chance that lawyers will not represent individuals if the they themselves ( lawyers) did not do all the paperwork from the beginning. The reason for that is that they understand better than you how to word the appeal notice and refute ...
You will be fine,just stay positive.The main thing is you get across to the judge the reason you cant go home.If you have family and kids here then that will be the reason you use.With the new rule of the Children's Act 2009,you can explain the inpact it will have on your children (if you have any ...
Hi we have just gone throught the same process hwoever we did use a barrister. First of all you need to send the letter to the IAC to say you are going ahead with the appeal,also a copy to the Home Office. They will write to you (usually within a couple of weeks) with an appointment.Depending on ...
Hi i recently went to the appeal court (IAC) with my immigration case.I am married,have a step daughter and baby due next month.The judge determined that the Home Office didnt take into account my situation properly due to the Childrens Act 2009 ,where children have to be taken into consideration in ...
Sorry to hear they takin so long.Problem is you cant hurry the decision.Maybe they have a backlog at that court.I went to birmingham and it was done in 3 days but we never got the letter from them so we sat round waiting.After 4 weeks we called and they informed us the decision was made 2 days after ...
I have to agree,oral hearings have a much better outcome! Your wife should really attend as this could look bad as to why she wouldnt attend the hearing of her husband.Its only a day she would need to put aside and if you are not in the country its good for them to see you have supportiv family here ...
Hi , i am in the same situation as you are,still waiting to hear from the Home Office.I spoke with the IAC regarding this and if you check your paperwork it will state that you should contact the Home Office after 6 weeks of the date of the letter of judgment.The IAC confirmed this.To be honest i ...
Hi thank you for your replies :-) yes i am in the uk,sorry i should have mentioned this! To be honest my solicitor is useless and im always having to case her up for anything however in court she was great.When we were in the court room the Home Office representative looked so ashamed and admitted ...
Hi , we were in exactly the same situation as you a few months back.We were also told by people to leave the country and apply to come back in! Id never reccommend this (as a person who has first hand experience!) you dont need to leave the country to make a new application,as you have found out now ...
Hi,we had this exact problem a few months back.We left it 4 weeks then called the IAC. They informed us that determination as sent out days after our court appearance! We never received this letter,however our solicitor did.She didnt inform us that she had recieved it as she presumed we had a copy ...
Hi , i recently had an appeal heard at the first tribuneral.I was in there less than 15 minutes when the judge decided that the Home Office had made an error and hadnt taken into consideration the fact i have a step daughter and baby on the way.Under the children's act they legally have to take this ...
Hi, thanks for your reply. My wife is british born as is her child.Her daughter has no contact with her natural father,however he does pay £5 a week matience(for what thats worth!) she is trying to obtain residency at the moment,as it stands she cant take her daughter out of the country without his ...
Hi all, i have been living a total nightmare now for 2 years. I came here as a student in jan 2008.I met my now wife in sept 2008.We moved in together in December 2008. My wife has a child from a previous marrage and we now have our baby on way due very soon. I sent off for my student visa in may ...
