Yes i Iwould urge you to contact your MP and explain the sittuation to him, and ask him to write direct to the BHC Islamabad asking for latest position. Alternatively ask the MP to ask the appropiate misister in the HO in London to look into it. Remember what the BHC has on its computer is easily ac...
Go to the link below and download form AIT1 (150kb one) . Print it off. Complete it and either return it the BHC where you applied or to AIT in UK within 28 days of recieving your refusal notice. Have you recieved the refusal notice stating the reasons for your refusal?. The AIT1 form should have be...
My understanding of Living alone is that they have no other close relative to look after them. For example, if you mum and dad had a brother or sister or grandkids to look after them, then they would not be classified as living alone. Whilst i accept that it is pretty difficult to get parents in the...
Here are some extracts from Entry Clearance guidance used by ECO at the British High Commision through out the world. You can try using these circumstances, but if your parents get this visa,consider yourself very very lucky. parents or grandparents under the age of 65 years if living alone outside ...
I agree with Sakura If you did the ESOL 1 for your ILR, then you need to be on ESOL 2 for your nationality.
I know someone who has sent a ESOL 1 for his Nationality only a few weeks ago , but that is because esol wasnt required at the time for his ILR application.
Sally if you say your husband is an overstayer, then he is an illegal immigrant.There is no way that he will be added on the tennancy agreement. I am somewhat confused by a few comments here. Why is it that they are asking their hubbys/partners be included on the tennancy agreement?. I cant see anyt...
The documents you have listed appear to be sufficient. Am I right in saying that your husband was refused earlier and you have re-applied with a new application?. If this is the case,what was he refused for in the first place?. It is important to make sure you dont make the same mistake as the earli...
Shameem Patience is the virtue of everything ..... take a deep breath and relax and let events take it own course. Remember VAC or Gerrys are ONLY a handling centre.They do not make the decision. The decision is made by the ECO @ the BHC Islamabad. Untill such a time he makes the decison, ringing Ge...
If you own the house, then the title deeds will be with your solicitors who did the paperwork for you. If you have a mortgage, the deeds will be with the bank from whom you got your mortgage. If you dont own the house, then you dont need to provide title deeds. All you will need is a tennancy agreem...
The onus is on you to make sure your name is spelt correctly. Officials will only put down what you have written on your application. Its your duty to make sure your name is spelt correctly.
For all we know you could be using other peoples identity.
Your husband must have his own seperate account showing the money he has going in and out. The only disadvantage of opening a new account and putting a lump sun in it, will make the ECO suspicious, and he will think that your husband has just put this amount in just before making an application. I w...
Just reading some of the topics here makes me laugh.I think we Pakistanis need to bit a bit more patient after lodging applications/appeals etc. They are thousands more like you making applications. Some of the applications are honest and genuine, but they are others who are not.I have been reliably...
I honestly believe the judge at your appeal will dismiss the ECO request as an unfair requirement being placed upon you. I wouldnt loose any sleep over it. At the end of the day if you and your husband can accomadate yourself without recourse to public funds, you have nothing to worry about. Good lu...
Generally it takes about 7-8 weeks after the appeal hearing. You will either get a phone call or "Call in letter" asking you to bring your passport for the visa to be stamped.after you have handed it,it will take another week or 10 days to get it back with the visa stamped in. Did you a TB test?. If...
I think it is a bit unfair on the ECO to refuse you on the grounds, that your husbands name is not on the tennancy agreement that you have provided. How can you hubbys name go on the agreement when he is not on this country. No council will put a persons name down on any agrrement if the person is n...
I think you need to explain to us the type of trouble they may cause you and your family when these people come to the UK. I have a sneaky feeling that its due to some family dispute,or they are visiting the UK to propose for marriage, which might put you and your family in a difficult position. I o...
Hi I'm new to this discussion board, and really needed some advice regarding my husbands uk settlement visa. We applied on 6 june and were informed today that he has to attend an interview at BHC. Has any1 had one of these? if so, what does it involve and by when do they let you know the outcome of...
This whole issue of forced marriage is nothing but a devicive scheme to curb immigration by the British government. Whilst i strongly oppose any force marriage, and consider it as an evil act, these new rules will put further strains and burdens on genuine arranged marriages that usually occur in th...
Definitions of modern arranged marriage * The parents choose several possible mates for the child, sometimes with the help of the child (who may indicate which photos he or she likes" Whilst I disagree with Gollywood with the class of marriage, I accept his other comments. You can put down an arran...
A traditional asian "arranged marriage" is where the parents of both the boy and girl arrange a marriage for their children.Obviously the pair get to meet, see, talk to each other for a short period. They are then asked if they are happy to go ahead with the marriage. If BOTH parties agree, then the...
There is an error in my earlier message. The Home Office have 5 days and not 28 as stated by me. Here is an extract from Entry Clearance Guide issued to ECO's 27.10 - Appeal Determinations The Tribunal should promulgate its determination within 10 days of the hearing or as soon as practicable. All a...
If the child came with his mother to the UK, then the father must be the sponsor as he is settled in the UK, and it was him who sponsored his wife and child to come and jointhem in the UK. So I would say the father is the sponsor because he is supporting the child. On the other hand I may be wrong,a...
