The HO may well consider this is not a genuine relationship if you already had a pending COA (later refused) for a marriage to someone else while this new relationship was already existing. Remember that everything is on record.

Please don't open any more threads on this.

Please post in your other thread.

No, you can't apply for ILE to settle in the UK and then not use the visa for 25 months. In any event, as you may already have been advised, ILR is due to be abolished shortly, so being granted a permanent visa and British Citizenship a few years later will be far more difficult than you may at pres...

If she has only just got her permit, she will lose the right to remain here if you marry someone else.
Is the person you want to leave her for British?

You will need to complete form VAF4a. The application fee for a spouse settlement visa is £585.00
You will also have to show that you will be able to support yourselves financially in the UK and have adequate accomodation on arrival.

If you aren't currently living in the UK with your wife, you won't be applying for ILR. Where is your wife at present? If you have been married for more than 4 years and living together for the whole of that time outside of the UK then you could apply for Indefinate Leave to Enter in Dubai and then ...

You need to download form SET(M) from the UKBA website, and you will see the list of required documents. This will include a minimum of 6 documents/letters showing joint address over the full 2 years, in joint names, or 6 each if in single names. These must cover at least 3 different categories. Has...

Don't send it by courier. If you send it by Royal Mail special delivery the HO will take the posting date as proof of application. The envelope will be kept in your wife's file. Courier delivery doesn't have the same evidence of dispatch.

Don't know what Wanderer thinks, but as she doesn't have a valid visa, I believe the quickest option would be to return to Pakistan and apply for an Unmarried Partner Visa from there....or marry on a COA and apply for a spouse visa from Pakistan. In order for the UPV to be successful you'll need doc...

Unless you had the right to vote (EU or Commonwealth citizen) you won't have been added to the electoral register before you were granted BC.

It can be 6 months, or it can be as quick as 4 weeks.

The rule is apply 28 days before the (equivalent) entry date 2 years previously...so she's fine.

You don't need to take the KOL test again. Without a cystal ball it would be difficult to tell you how long your application would take to process.
However, with the concessions now in place regarding the new regulations, you won't be affected by the changes.

Have a look at form FLR(M) on the UKBA website.

Both the form SET(M) and the date are correct. He's passed the Life in the UK test or completed an ESOL with Citizens course?

It does.

You won't be free to work without restriction on your student visa until you've actually been granted FLR(M). If you're applying in person you will have to submit your student records to show that you have been attending your course as per the conditions of your student visa.

Unfortunately 3rd party financial support will be disallowed. You need to be able to show that you will have sufficient funds to support yourselves without help from others.

You would also need a letter from your husband explaining why he isn't attending the appointment with you.

Do you mean will they grant a visa? If so, Yes if the appeal is successful.
Although I believe the Home Office can appeal against the verdict.

PEO appointments can now be booked on-line.

It won't be a problem. As long as you can show that you are able to support yourselves financially, the fact that you are only working part-time won't affect your application. The instruction to checking officers is not to refuse a spouse ILR application purely for financial reasons. They will be fa...

This is just because the bank staff don't want to be bothered, and the attitude varies from branch to branch even within the same company. My husband was lucky and the customer service clerk printed off statements, signed and stamped them without hesitation. I suggest you either speak to the manager...

Asalam alaikum Ali. Eid mubarak :D Unfortunately I can't give you a timescale. There are members who believe the 'IT problem' is an excuse for not being able to deal with the applications efficiently...but I suppose we should give them the benefit of the doubt. :roll: Hopefully there are members who...
