Your and your husbands combined income is £800+440 =1240pm x 12 months =£14880.(OT is allowed by the way) This is £3720 short of the £18600 requirements. You can makeup the shortfall from any savings you have. To work out savings is like this ......£3720 x2.5 +16000 = £25300 You need savings of £253...

B1 is sufficient for FLR M extension as its a higher level than the A2 level which comes into force after May 2017

This is fine for a supporting letter.You jsut need to back it up with correct documentations now.

You need concrete evidence that your widowed mother will return back home after visit. Unfortunately the evidence you have provided is not good enough to convince the ECO that she will return.She lives with her son In India and has a mere 1.5 Lakh Rupees( £1000 ?)in her account.That in my opinion is...

Priority service was taking on average 7-10 days when it was first introduced. However due heavy demand for this service , the time delays have been extended. In some cases and countries (Pakistan) its taking over 6-8 weeks on average. Another reason is the cutbacks and staff shortage at UKBA which ...

Only send messages that are important to prove relationship for application.No useless chit chats.The ECO doesn't have enough to read more than just a few of them.

No changes here then.Same as before.

Will all participants please listen to the Mods advice.it is in your best interest

Looks like the ECM was not satisfied with original decision by the ECO and hence Appeal withdrawn.
ECO will have to look at it again, which may be good news for you in getting your visa

You have covered everything here.In some cases you are providing more than is required.

The SU07 does not from part of the spouse visa application,nut for some reason everybody sends it

UKBA timelines is a guidance only. Can take much longer depending on the checks and inquiries that they carry out on each application

If yo are going to get remarried to someone in UK, then only Islamic nikkah will suffice and tehre is no need for a UK divorce because the Islamic nikkah is not recognised a valid marriage in UK, but is for visa purposes only. However if you intend to remarry someone from abroad, then a UK as well a...

Yes if you think you're 100% correct with your documents and that you meet all requirements.Yes it does get sorted out within 15 days.....one way or the other

@noajthan, it is friends wife whose name is on tenancy. OP, all you need is a letter stating that your wife will be permitted to reside in the property with you and that they have no objection. Oops, thanks CR001 - didn't mean to mix the wives up. Still not convinced a survey is mandatory in such c...

HI all, as the title suggests, im very close to renewing my wifes FLRM after her 2.5yrs here with me in the Uk. Was about to book her english requirement test A1 when it dawned on me she did this as part of her initial visa application in thailand? So why are we being asked to do it again? My under...

In my opinion you would be better to show a post dated Tenancy agreement for a rented property, which will confirm accommodation will be available when your spouse arrives in the UK,rather than stay in a friends house.

The only problem with living with FRIENDS ( who are not your blood relatives, eg, siblings or parents) and getting them to write a letter to say its Ok for them and their spouse to stay with them, is sometime not accepted as proof of accommodation being available.This is because there is no binding ...

Its just not £16000 unfortunately.

If you earn say £15000 per annum. You are 3600 short of requirement

3600 x 2.5 = 9000 + 16000 = £25000

You will need £25,000 (NOT JUST 16,000) in saving in your bank for a period no less than 6 months prior to your application FOR IT TO SUCCEED

Hope this helps

Online Visa application, Form VAf4a Appendix 2 ( hand filled) Sponsorship Supporting letter ( but not THE SU07) 6 months wage slips prior to application ( must not be older than 28 days of online submission) 6 months bank statements to application showing salary going into bank account ( must not be...

There is a shortage of Adjudicators at the moment to deal with the large amount of Appeals lodged by applicants.This means lengthy delays, some even delayed by upto 12 months.If people who can prove their refusals, maybe they should consider reapplying again....just a thought !!!.

Forget Appeal and make a fresh application for a fiance visa.That is best and only option for you

Reasons for refusal: i) ECO thinks company doesn't exists, he checked online on companies house, company check and cotax. The company exists. ii) Could not pick the call, they called 3 times. iii) Based on above, they believe employment is not genuine. So would I if was an ECO.Remember an ECO doesn'...

No she is not as well and wont be until a full UK divorce takes place and a Decree Absolute is obtained. Only after A DA is issued can a person legally remarry someone else.Any Islamic marriage or divorce is not acceptable in teh UK.

You can apply using Cat B ( ie 12 months wage slips of your previous employers and one month of new one). However there conditions attached to this. You must have earned over 18600 in teh 12 preceding months with your old employer and that your second job, your annual salary must be £18600 or more. ...

Why isn't your employer paying it via BACS straight your bank account?.It would be much easier for all concerned

Hello forum members, My wife came to UK on a visitor visa in Dec-2015 (as we had recently got married and settlement visa takes time so we thought it best for her to join as visitor). She went back to India in Jan-2016 and we are now applying for her settlement visa. I have the following queries: 1...
