Re: New salary threshold of £38,700

Overcrowding would not be a problem with the release of the proper technologies, it doesn't matter where you live on the planet, you can live happily, remove the deep state and all will live in the utopian society that they wish without the useless dross that binds people that is money. Protest peo...

Re: New salary threshold of £38,700

Hello, Is the proposed minimum income being applied exclusively to the British side of a marriage or is it a combined income? On the gov website, it is currently shown to be a combined income, but reports that I've seen suggest that it is the minimum income is for the British person, "The minimum r...

Re: New salary threshold of £38,700

Excerpt from the Independent, today. " Asked if it would apply to partners when they came to renew their visas, No 10 said the change was “not retrospective, but it would apply to renewals in the future”. At that point, people would be expected to “meet the visa requirements of the day”. The prime m...

Re: Spouse visa application

Sadly, those things you mention are not unsurmountable in the eyes of the HO. You can sell your house, and find a new career in his country. Your situation is frustrating for you, and I don't want to sound hard hearted, but you have to admit you both were wrong, right from the start, he was here ill...

He needs to go home and apply from there for the Spouse visa. Declare everything in your application, failing to do so will be caught and will be punished, and all you can do is explain that you forgot to mention the previous illegal entry in your application. Hope they can overlook it. It should be...

Did you marry in the UK? If so, how did you manage that, you would have needed to get all the paperwork first? You should have paid the NHS surcharges and all those other visa's etc. everyone else has to. I'm sure you will agree that the HO should consider, that if you have managed to avoid these th...

If they do not have a valid visa, why shouldn't the HO deport them? Claiming to be a victim is no excuse, anyone could do that.

Re: Need advise about domestic violence

Do you have reported evidence of domestic violence immediately after it happened, i.e. when you have bruises or after a huge shouting match, so the neighbours can hear what he is threatening you with? Reporting him about things that have happened but can't can be proven, might seem to the HO that al...

Re: Judicial Review, should i go for it? 10 years ban

Hi, If neither document is fake, how come the HO believes both to be so? Surely they would have contacted your bank and confirmed the statement is genuine, and that the letter you provided too is also genuine. Same with the work contract. If I were you, I'd do what I did and do another PAP, stating ...

ILR and British Citizen Passport Costs

Hi All, My wife and I can apply for her ILR in just over 12 months time as she will have been married to me and living in the UK for 5 years. I am reading that the cost for ILR is £2,404 and that British citizenship (12 months later) is £1,351. These seem to be the figures for 23, so I expect they w...

You need to speak with the police and social services, they are more able to help. One day he might just beat you senseless or worse as people like him rarely stop if they are left to carry on their behaviour. Sounds like he is already raping you. Do not bother about the other dependants who rely on...

He now stands no chance of getting a visa, he is on a black list and so do not bother wasting your money on applying again IMHO.

If the person does not have a job or any family back home, then I would suggest they are very unlikely to be able to prove they will return and therefore very unlikely to be granted a visa, so I would not waste money on an attempt, instead, use that cash towards visiting him/ her.
