Astro,

I apologise. The post looked like a BOT message to me.

THO.

Is this one of those BOT postings intending to stir up emotions and make board members question why on earth should the British tax payer to cover the cost of a Russian child's expensive teeth treatment, keeping in mind the vastly underfunded, overstretched state that the NHS is already in? Or perha...

So why not treat the Cause and not the Symptoms? How do we treat the cause and not the symptoms? I'm very keen to hear your answer. Build more houses, and pave over green belt? That is a ticket to disaster. Keep in mind, that the population must stop growing, if not now sometime in the future, the ...

This latest Policy is clearly having huge impact........ https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-67630258 What a cruel, insular, Right Wing Fascist govt the UK now suffers. A Plague on ALL their houses!! I'm in the same boat, NHS Nurse trying to bring my Ecuadorian wife who is a Doctor to the UK. At this point...

Maybe we should remove the visa requirement all together then Casa, let everyone in? No one has come up with a fair solution, because someone will always be outside and they will claim not fair. My only ever issues with the visa system is the fact that it is far easier for some cultures to bring a p...

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...

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...

......Personally, I think 18.6K is far too little to be able to bring someone to live with you. Time and again I read on this forum that people who have never met are getting married after meeting just once, and then he/she is allowed to arrive into the UK . Worse is the number of cases of divorce ...

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...

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.

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...

Yes, I was not allowed a judicial review or to appeal the decision with my negative reply, but I started a pap, I wrote I realised that the decision says no right to appeal or judicial review, but that I am seeking to put the ECO in court for his negligence, to hold him personally responsible unless...

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 ...

Thanks CROO.

This is an expensive process and so painful.

Thanks all. Looks like need to find another 4K and a bit then to complete this process. I do hope we don't have to go through all the same process of proof of income and language etc etc? I'm reading it takes up to 6 months for ILR come through, non priority, and then up to 6 months for naturalisati...

Thanks for the replies. So just to be clear, please can you tell me (in today's money) how much will we need to find for her to first get ILR and then get a British passport, which we can apply for immediately. I am British born and bred, so that is great news that she does not have to wait a furthe...

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...

No.

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. Besides, his circumstances do look very dodgy so I am not surprised he was turned down, regardless of whether he is genuine or not, the HO has responsibility to stop peopl...

How much do you earn? You need to meet the financial criteria too.
