I'm sure my fellow moderator John will confirm this but IIRC you may not get P60's substitutes. Your employer can confirm in writing that you were working over the relevant period in time and likely details of the relevant tax office. IND will cross reference this with appropriate taxation and NI co...

vmulberry, I'm sure JAJ will weigh in with his opinion on this but there may be a case for you to try and obtain an S1B visa - returning lawful permanent resident from the US consulate in London. Based on the info you provide its likely to be a lost cause but perhaps the help of a good attorney well...

I don't get your point but I presume you are asking whether the fact that your son is a BC should influence the visa officer to grant the mother a UK visa without her needing to meet the rules. NO is the answer. Your son has the right to be with his family is correct but it is also correct that this...

The Home Office does not accept dependents under the 10 year or 14 year long residence categories so only you can get ILR under this. Your spouse needs to fill out a Form FLR (M) and include the children in it as dependents which should be submitted with your form SET(O). You must pay 2 sets of fees...

Further in breach of the immigration laws by working whilst a visitor. 4. Inolved by way of fraud in criminal proceedings. IMHO you...

She can travel to the UK within the validity of the visa. The visa is fully activated upon 1st entry into the UK.

John has responded in some detail to your queries to which I concur. Appropriate evidence is required because it is the case that just as domestic violence does occur so do false allegations of such get made (not saying this is the case here).

almondo, It would appear that you know you should have applied for your spouse's ILR prior to the departure. As that is water under the bridge your only option is to obtain her another 2 year (probationary period) spouse visa. The 4 year requirement that Chess comments on applies where the couple ha...

Dependent visas are issued on the basis of accompanying to the UK or joining the primary visa applicant in the UK.
