If you seriously need this visa - wait.

If not - withdraw application.

Nothing else you can do.

Good luck :)

EB-5 Regional, some questions

Hi, thanks for your interest, I hope somebody could help me with my questions. :) I have several questions about EB-5 Regional where you invest 500K. 1. It should end in September 2012. How likely it will be extended? And how likely the bar of 500K will be raised? 2. Can someone recommend any partic...

Well, I would do what solicitor advised. Only be sure it is good reliable solicitor accredited in independent bodies. I would also try to do it inside the country, just in case.

Good luck to you and your wife. Don't worry too much! :wink:

Obviously its reasonable to ask why this person overstayed whereas they know its would be illegal to do so! All you are doing is trying to justify or legalise this persons illegal stay in the UK by 'marrying' him/her just like many other people are doing - buying marriage to legalise their stay in ...

Sorry, can't help, I'm not professional. But please don't worry to much, there must be a way. You stayed most of the time legally. Somebody will help you here. If not, then use professional help from UK solicitor but check that company is accredited in professional organizations. Please don't worry,...

Could you kindly tell me that exactly after how many days did you recieve your Biometric Letter? I have been running through 5th Week and havn't got one yet
I waited for 6 weeks.

They are very slow at this stage. Be patient, there is nothing you can do right now. It should arrive soon.

World does not end on UK. If you did hardwork in previous 8 years, either earning education or money, you can move to some other developed country. If you just waste time and money here and there, its your fault, but still you can make fresh start in some other country.
Could not agree more. :D

I don't think they will treat anything except PHD as academic progression after MBA. It looks like you want to get course to stay here and work. I think UKBA must be really stupid to continue to allow to study on accountant courses for ages to obtain legal stay... I'm sorry, but what sort of MBA is ...

This is not abuse, this is just my personal opinion. I don't think Britain will remain tolerant society if it will allow to stay those who break immigration laws and try to find loopholes all the time.

If you earn 75K and maybe also you or your brother have some investments, why not use Entrepreneur route? And if your brother find a partner who has 100K, ...

Why not call UKBA and/or write them an email. If I were you, I would do both. The answer to email can take several days and it can not answer all concerns. So try to call them. Make a list of all questions and call them, there is tel, number on the website in contact area. You usually have to wait o...

Guys, if you apply from UK and have all funds in UK bank on your personal account, then you only need to send standard bank statement, correct?

Cheers.
