Re: spouse visa deportee. can i married again to british citizen out side UK

You can marry and then your wife can sponsor you via settlement visa. But most likely your application will be refused due to 10 year ban. Doesn't matter if you marry a British.

Have you legally got divorce certificate for your first wife now?

Re: Appendix 2 - Part 3A - Financial requirements

Terrible advise to send P60s and 12 months of bank statements for a CAT A. Simply you are relying upon whatever your salary rate was in the past 6 months (before any increase) as your base figure, and then in the employers letter have them mention your increase in salary. Include 6 months of bank st...

Re: Still waiting for a decision.....

Your solicitor is correct, you can apply with priority service again. However, due to previous refusal your priority application will likely take longer so that's why it is not recommended to use it.

If you have the money and can afford it then why not go ahead.

Re: Settlement Spouse Application- Priority- 25 working days and no documents returned and only one email update!Help

It is not unusual for them to add few days to the vignette sticker after a decision is made so that if it takes few days to deliver the passport it would still enable you to have the maximum time to enter UK. They do specifically state not to make travel arrangements until a decision is made, so you...

A call from kingston wouldn't be immigration officer, rather staff from the place where passport was submitted. No one can guess outcome as it can be either refusal or approval only way to find out is to go and collect the passport.

Re: Visa Interview - Spouse settlement

Yes they can. It is very rare for a face to face interview for spouse visa but they can ask for one. Usually a case worker calls from Sheffield for clarification. Was there any aspect of your application that would make it complex?
