Finally I managed to speak to someone at BLS, and was told that a multi entry visa would require we go back to Spain, we could not use the same visa at a later stage to go to Germany. However, thought about going to Gibraltar instead. This is what the official border entry site says. Viet Nam You wi...

Thanks Meself2.

Hi, Quick couple of questions. I want to apply for a Schengen visa for the wife to visit Spain. She is from VN, obviously living in UK with me. 1) As far as I can tell, this is not done through VFS like other European visas, I need to go here. uk.blsspainvisa.com/london/tourist_type_visa.php Is this...

We applied for a marriage visitor visa, which gave her 6 months in the UK when we could get married and then she would need to return home, and I could apply for spouse visa. The main reason for the refusal, was that we did not prove we would get married when she was here. This is despite me attachi...

It is almost impossible, yes, they like things like owing a property, having a dependant child to go back to. Those things would be reasons to abscond, in my book, so you can work illegally and send money back to pay for them, but the HO sees it differently. Immediately after the first refusal, we a...

Hi, My then GF, now wife, was not issued a visa from VN to visit me, despite providing all those types of things, plus she has a great travel history with lots of stamps in her PP including European. I also included return flights. So, I don't think you would be lucky with what you say you have. You...

Something very dodgy here. A small argument led to her refusing to sign a document so you can be with her, and to change her mind, she would accept payment. Sound very much like a marriage of convenience. If you want advice from the board, then maybe be honest about the situation. I don't think anyo...

1) why didn't you try to extend your visa when it was still valid, instead of waiting until it ran out? If you did, then you have obviously been turned down, and so as I see it, there is no legal visa for you. Go home and apply again for another visa. 2) You will not be able to obtain an NI number, ...

Have you not heard of sarcasm?

My point was you did not have a question, just a couple of covering letters. I wish you luck in your endeavour, but not sure anyone can answer your question though.

Firstly, I think you have put in rather too much personal identifying information. Perhaps blank names and work places.

Secondly, you have not asked a question, what is it you want?

How did he get into the UK without a visa? How did you manage to get married in the UK without HO approval, which you can only get if he has the relevant documents, i.e. a Fiancé or Marriage Visitor Visa? I'd question whether you are actually legally married. And I agree entirely with Amazonia, you'...

So, then if you are taking a break, show them the last 6 months pay slips, with tax paid etc and your p45, and also bank statements.

I expect they want to see your income, so have asked for some proof you can support yourself and pay for the trip. So P60, which you can't provide as you are not employed, or tax return, again you do not do these as you are not self employed. My guess is, your application will fail because you don't...

Good, well done. The direct approach pointing out the obvious errors is best, exactly the one I took to get my fiancé's MVV sorted.

Well done KKD, good for you. What approach did you take with the PAP? What was your argument?

Maybe go live in another country then. The UK is a whole lot better than many poor, awful, backwards, corrupt, misogynistic countries I could mentions, and many of the people on here criticise the UK for things that are far worse in the country they have left, to come live here. As previously pointe...

Ah, thanks Amazonian. That's another small financial and time saving.

Thanks CR001. She did B1, what does that mean?

Hi All, Just a quick question. The wife's spouse visa is due for the extension mid next year for the second 2.5 years. When we first applied for her spouse visa, I had to submit my self employed unaudited accounts to prove I earned enough. This cost me £440 to have done by an accountant, despite it ...

How did you manage to get married if you are in the UK illegally, overstayer?

What public funds do you want to claim and why?

Why did he answer no when asked if he had previously been refused a UK visa? This is what he has to overcome. Was there a good reason for his answer?

I'd have to say that the answer would still be no. How can your father work on his bank accounts, or do you mean start to put his cash payments into a bank account and over time build up a history to show the HO? That would take a good while. The HO seemed to ignore the fact that your mother would b...

I'm afraid I do not think you stand a chance, there is nothing you can do to prove your mother will return home. My OH was twice turned down for visit visa from VN, and she had all the supporting bank statements, a great job to go back to, travel history including to Europe and I have a house I own ...

Hi All, I've been searching for ages to try to find out where to start the application process to obtain a Schengen visa for my Vietnamese wife to come with me to Holland for a short visit. I've googled, and searched .gov Web site, but really keep ending up going round in circles. Does anyone know h...
