I presume the op's spouse has some sort of discretionary type residence permit of limited duration i.e. it has an expiry date. Depending on what basis this was granted it may be of several months to several years duration e.g. 3 years. Mortgage providers have differing policies on the immigration st...
maxima, Providing all required information is the wisest course to take in immigration matters - the position in all relevant legislation is that if anything is a 'material fact' then it must be declared e.g. your marriage/s. You only need to see examples on this forum where 'minor' misrepresentatio...
Don't mean to sound like your mum giving you the proverbial lecture :) ....most definitive proof of contact in your case would be passport stamps and tickets indicating your travel dates to Nigeria coupled with photographic evidence of your time there together. You need to also print out your respec...
The immigration rules do not enable you to switch in country to HSMP dependent - you would have to return home and apply for HSMP dependent EC. Make sure you carry the appropriate documentation.
There are two parts to this: 1. The marriage - contact your local registrar or relevant religious person if applicable on the necessary requirements. The Home Office will have to authorise your spouse to get married by way of a Certificate of Approval. 2. Your spouse changes visa from student to spo...
With respect I have requested you to look through the family forum and see the relevant details/ documentation submitted by others in circumstances similar to yours - it would seem you are yet to do this. Forums such as these require some legwork from posters for a speedier resolution to their respe...
The fact that you have met adds some credibility to your relationship in respect of the Entry Clearance Officer at the relevant British High Commission in Nigeria. I concur that it is useful not to rush into a marriage prior to getting to know each other better but appreciate that in some situations...
3. Any extension of validity dates if such is not on the bio data page.
4. Any visa, entry and or exit stamps to your home country or country where you have met your wife as this is useful to show your relationship is subsisting.
1. I assume it's alright if he comes to Canada for one year and we live together then we go back to England and live the 2nd year there? Depends on what he will be doing in Canada for 1 year - visiting, working, studying? If visiting he will be faced with the challenges I state below for you visiti...
Dawie, In addition to JAJ's comments it is also the case that visa policy is effected by the principle of lobbying. For example the new EU states are pushing Washington to include them in the Visa Waiver Programme in particular Poland with representation at top government level. The same happened wh...
The rules of this forum clearly state that posters not submit or request information that pertains to the evasion of immigration controls. The contents of many of the threads on this post allude to such. Accordingly this post is now locked.
He visa expires on 20 February 2006. Do you mean 2007? If not she is an overstayer. I am a work permit holder. In December 2007 I can apply for my settlement visa. Why did you not include her in your WP application as a dependent presumably back in 2002 when the WP was approved? My daughter have no...
Sorry but a refusal stops the ILR clock. If your appeal had been allowed then the clock would have continued though such would have been moot given that a successful application would have been for ILR. Any time you have remained in the UK since your last appeal was refused and you were notified tha...
If HO does not appeal then apply for dependent visas on form VAF 1 - they will be issued in line with the validity of your extension. Official UK Visas website (type this in any search engine) will have relevant details on fees and documentation required as will using the search function on this for...
Again if you have a UK Drivers licence, I dont know how they know what your nationality is! A drivers licence is not proof of nationality but rather identity. In any case the UK driver licence has place of birth on it - where this is not the UK the IO can infer that you may not be British but not d...
Jeff, Hence note my caveat 'usually' 8) . The Home Office recognised this misnomer hence the introduction of 'removal' into the Acts/ Rules albeit removing some legal redress from those 'removed' as opposed to those 'deported'. Deportation remains a powerful tool in immigration policy for any country.
Deportation is of indefinite duration unless revoked by the Home Secretary under sec 5(2) of the 1971 Act. It is possible to request for the Home Secretary to consider such after a 3 year period has elapsed. Even where the deportation order is revoked the applicant must still meet the relevant immig...
Under the Akrich ruling by the ECJ an EU member state does not have to grant an EEA family permit to a family member of an EU National exercising treaty rights where the said family member has no visa status or is otherwise 'illegal' in the relevant EU member state. The British consulate in Dublin c...
US Immigration Law (Sec 212 INA) deems that every person seeking to enter the US is an intending immigrant (where they do not hold an immigrant visa nor are a US citizen) unless they prove otherwise to the satisfaction of the relevant US official in your case the DHS Inspector. The VWP scheme is a n...
Consult an immigration attorney immediatley...the nature of your problem is outside the scope of this forum. The attorney would need to review relevant clauses of the INA and applicable amendments such as the LIFE Act which deals with the matter of Adjusting status for those who have overstayed but ...
No need to show statement of A/C. Just get the balance certificate from bank. Bank will give you certificate where the total funds till date has mentioned. in this way you can arrange funds and put in you account in current dates. And then get the certificate from bank. I beg to differ. The relevan...
