David, You can try going down the Surinder Singh route-see http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1036679156328#point%20four%20eight You (and spouse) need to exercise treaty rights in another EU country for 6 months (there is discretion on this) aft...
James, Your strategy is risky and if you are caught out, you can kiss your chances of living in the UK goodbye. Remember that James will make the ILR application and James (irrespective of nationalities, passports etc. that James may hold) has not lived in the UK for the required 2 year period. I am...
British, Good luck with your spouse's application tomorrow. I do not see why a further 2 year spouse visa will not be issued. One thing which is not clear is, was your spouse's ILR application formally considered and rejected or were you simply told that your spouse did not qualify for ILR without a...
If I may add my 0.002p: The 2 year spouse visa is a probationary visa in which period the couple are expected to live together as a couple if the "foreign" spouse is to go and get ILR. In your case, even though you are still married and the marriage does exist, the fact that you and your spouse live...
The proposed new fees for some types of applications have far exceeded my expectations...for a service that used to be free under the Tories...This Government is definitely on its way out!!
Jambo. You should check this with the British High Commission in Nairobi but my advice would be to give as much information as possible about the accomodation e.g. get a separate letter from your employer regarding this and see if your employer can provide a utility bill for the property as proof of...
This has been answered here before, look at this post: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=63235&highlight=#63235 You don't need to apply for a UK visa for the baby unless you plan to take him/her abroad and return back to the UK. If you really need to apply now for a visa, the correct ...
You are both required to give notice of intention to marry in person if you are planing to marry in the UK. Also, your fiance must come to the UK on a marriage visa otherwise he will require a COA when giving notice to marry in the UK. Can't you get married in Uganda and apply for a spouse settlemen...
It is not mandatory to enter the UK within 3 months of the visa, your wife may enter the UK at anytime within the 2 year validity of the visa and if she doesn't, she just has to apply for a new one if she wants to come to the UK after the 2 years have gone by provided you are still married to her.
Hi, Regrettably, your law degree (if equivalent to the UK LLB) would not qualify to be classed as a Phd so it appears that you would not qualify for the HSMP visa. Other than a work permit, you may wish to look into the student visa option which would enable you to work part time during term time an...
Heuro, I draw your attention to the Immigration (European Economic Area)Regulations 2006 which came into force on 30th April 2006: http://www.fco.gov.uk/Files/kfile/The%20Immigration%20(EEA)%20Regulations%202006.pdf You will see that under Regulation 11(1), an EEA national must produce a valid natio...
If you are required to be trained further so that you can gain a professional qualification, your employer may lodge an extension application for an additional year as the maximum time that may be given under TWES is 5 years. The Home Office has discretion on whether or not to grant the extension fo...
My sympathies but it just shows that there is a high price to pay for your friend being an "illegal" immigrant.
If he wants treatment here in the UK, the only way I can see out would be for friends and family to raise money for him privately and try approaching "cancer" charities.
If your baby was born in the UK after both parents received their ILR, the baby is automatically a British Citizen.
All you need to do is submit the passport application form for him/her along with the supporting docs i.e baby's birth certificate, proof of parents ILR and marriage certificate.
The UK born child will not be illegal and you can apply for the baby's visa along with yours in Aug. 2007. Infact, the only reason a visa would be required is if the child was to go abroad and come back to the UK, otherwise, there is no requirement for a child born in the UK to "foreigners" to have ...
