Hi I'm a UK national about 6 years through the 10 year route with my wife. I have a pension that gets a 25% contribution from the government, can my wife get that? she's got NRPF on her visa but I think tax relief is not a public fund. She's also a fulltime mother to our toddler so not working at t...

UKVI advise you apply no more than 3 months before you and your wife plan on moving (in a situation where you move together). No harm in researching the requirements of the visa, evidence you will need (quite extensive in many cases) and how to apply at this stage though.

Hello! Has anyone applied for a 10 year visitor visa for the parents from India? What was the outcome - visa granted or not granted? Please guide in terms of the documents to be submitted to make the application more full proof

Do your parents have a long history of short(er) term visas?

Surely a ukvi visa cannot be granted only because the company is not a year old?..

Course it can.

If you do not have all of the documentation they require, they will reject the visa. You'll have to wait until you meet the requirements.

My wife is currently out of work and my 2.5yr spouse visa is due for renewal. We have a 2yr old child together so I really do not want to get denied.

Do you meet the financial requirement? If you meet the earnings or savings requirement, simply use that!

This is NOT an immigration matter. But why on Earth would you marry someone who wants children when you so very clearly feel like children are entrapment/ a burden??? Divorce the poor woman and let her find a partner who wants the same things as her. It's very odd that you are married to someone who...

The op has very clearly stated that they are British by descent and only the children need visas. Oh you are so right! I am an idiot these days. The small child had me up 6 times last night.... ugh sleep deprivation does terrible things!!! Apologies OP. But my advice about making sure you have tick...

Seems like you are still in the research phase of your application - so use some time to ensure that you understnad the requirements AND can evidence that you tick every single box. Then apply online. Submit the application. If you don't submit it, it isn't even in the queue. Worry about the biometr...

In any case, once she had gone to scan all the documents, fingerprints etc can she come and visit myself in the UK whilst waiting for the outcome of the visa? We have already paid extra so she can keep her passport. Any help appreciated. Thanks The general consensus is unclear on this, but it is ge...

Hi all, I just spoke with the Home Office via the Coronavirus Immigration Help Line. I am visiting my husband from the US and my visitor leave expired on March 5th.

She still cannot switch to a spouse visa if you get married though and will have to leave and apply abroad. Ordinarily, this a million %....

DOES this count as public funds and/or will the exceptional situation of the pandemic into account? . Very little official guidance on this. It would be easy, but not necessarily correct, to guess at an answer and assume it would not be considered public funds, but it may be best to contact the cor...

Hi I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be possible to change my application from my current visa, which is the 10 year partner route to claim indefinite leave to remain via the 10 year continuous residence method. I’ve been in the country for 12 years continuously on various different visas ...

How long after getting ILR are you allowed to start claiming? I recall applying previously and being denied due do being subject to immigration control. As soon as you have ILR, you are no longer subject to immigration control. Thus, you are then eligible for child benefit. OP - your wife's cliam w...

Dear Members, I need advise on the subject matter, I am on spouse visa in the UK (Husband) my wife is entitled to the child benefit for our British born child. We are not claiming the benefit as we do not feel the need of it. However, I got to know from some sources that claiming the child benefit ...

Biometric Residence Permit which replaced my ILR Some foo for thought: please remember that this is indefinite leave to REMAIN. It is invalidated if you move outside the UK for two years.

I see from your handle that you feel the aggrieved party, but dangling a visa over someone's head - stay with me or I won't let you get that visa - is pretty abusive and coercive in and of itself. Do what is right for the relationship regardless of the visa situation. Please don't conflate the two i...
