Hi. I wonder if someone can point me the way to criteria for bringing a dependent child into UK. My husband and daughter both have ILR and will soon get citizenship when he gets around to doing life in UK test. His brother has just died in an accident leaving two young kids in Cape Verde. Their mot...

It will not make your application look stronger!

I don't think you have anything to worry about. If it puts your mind at rest using a solicitor, I would recommend Laura Devine. http://www.lauradevine.com/index.html I don't usually do solicitor recommendations on here, but this is the type of firm that will tell you that you don't need their servic...

https://www.gov.uk/representative-overseas-business/eligibility You must already be employed and working overseas for the company that wants to sponsor you as a sole rep. It doesn't look as if this is the case. In addition to apply to switch while out of the UK you must usually apply from a country ...

This topic was started on Feb 18th 2012 and PSW closed on April 6th 2012. Greenie and I have said the same thing all along. ACCA does not meet the rules for PSW. See also this topic started in 2011. http://www.immigrationboards.com/uk-tier-1-post-study-work-visas/psw-using-acca-fundaental-levela-nee...

Well, I don't think anyone can complain that the arguments that ACCA meets the rules for PSW (as it was) haven't been examined. Just such a waste of time for so many people, for a case that I always thought was hopeless. Hopefully people will accept this judgement and move on rather than pursuing on...

http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2014/196.html They lost. I take the view that the judge was clearly correct to hold that ACCA professional qualifications are not eligible for points as "a UK recognised bachelor or postgraduate degree" under Table 10 or by virtue of the guidance. I would ther...

Have you been served as an overstayer?

I am also not sure F acebook posts count. Call me an old cynic if you like. They should get legal advice. The US seems a reasonable choice and wouldn't be effected by regime change either. I am also aware that what is happening in Syria is absolutely horrifying and the UK rightly isn't removing peop...

People from Syria are getting asylum, but they can expect that if the regime changes they may be expected to leave the UK.

Better pick sides carefully, anti regime one year could be pro regime the next. Ask Libyans, Egyptians and so on.

There are also specific schemes for Syrians.

I'm not assuming anything. What you are talking about is "sur place" activities. The person could only be removed to a country that they are a legal resident of or are a citizen of. Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam? I'm just thinking of countries that have few people claiming asylum, otherwise I don't unders...

The problem is they have waited a long time to make a claim for asylum, which doesn't look good. If you are talking about North Korea, then no, the Home Office does not return people there, but North Koreans are also often entitled to South Korean citizenship and get removed to South Korea. I cannot...

Hi Members Just want some information if a college inform UKBA about a student that his course finish early or student not progressing, and UKBA curtail student leave and give him 60 days to apply a new visa or leave the country. If student submit a new application within UK within 60 days period i...

There is a case out today:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/modernised/visiting/general-visitor.pdf?view=Binary And see this about working in the UK on a visitor's visa: http://talk.uk-yankee.com/index.php?topic=70129.0;all The other poster is incorrect, she CANNOT do what is proposed. She ...

i see your point about the uk law. but say for example if a uk citizen had 3 wifes in pakistan, and he was in the process of divorcing 1 off his wifes, but at the same time as that he decides to get married to another wife. so at that point he will be having 4 wifes in total, but one of these is in...

As far as I am aware you are able to work part time. However, the minimum salary is still the same - £20,300 or as in the code of practice, whichever is the higher. If you can get £20,300+ for part time hours, then you should be fine. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/employers...

Hi, my cousin got a tier 4 student visa in march 2012 when he reached uk the college got closed. he couldn't even had a chance to go there. after that he stayed there for one year and few months and ukba never contacted him no he contacted them and returned to pakistan on 1st of august but as he go...

There is no rule, but see the section in the guidance from page 15 onwards: Frequency and duration of visits Visitors cannot live in the UK on a continuous basis even if this is punctuated by short absences from the UK to avoid overstaying. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/pol...

Returning resident means: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/settlement/returning-residents/ A resident is someone who has been given permission to stay in the UK without any time limit. A returning resident is a resident who left the UK and wants to come back to live here again. So...

Who is this? I haven't heard of that sort of Tier 2 sponsorship before.

Obviously it would more cost less in terms of resources to arrest someone when they report rather than go to their home. A person who is reporting is a person who is liable to be detained. That is what the law says, and some people simply have no basis to remain in the UK. They come to the end of th...
