go for it and dont worry just send a covering letter , there is nothing in legislation in regards to absences

and as you have a child then that is a proof that your marrige is a legitimate one

so i dont think there should be a prob

thanks busubi for that (i already know that it seems you have not understood what i meant , you could read all the previous posts on the topic and then things will be clear god willing

thank you anyway for your kind gesture

no you didnt understand my point syh ( i am obviously gonna show im living with my parents and will send their house deeds and a letter how i did last time when i applied for spouse visa) my point was that it says that you are able to support yourselves without need for public funds so look how many...

Evidence of your finances. Bank statements,building society savings book(s),pay slips or other formal documents as evidence of your and your partner’s ability to maintain and accommodate yourselves and any dependants without recourse to public funds.

you see the singapore visa is for a month so i leave on the 30th day go to johor or even kl sometimes then cross back yes the visa to malaysia is 90days so if i wanted to i could chill there if i like but i rarely do and to be honest they do ask i just show them my marriage cert , but they have told...

the reason i bring it up is as i always hear people talking about absences so i thought there must be something about it ? so thats why i asked, so because for that i thought maybe i need to mention it on a covering letter. it seems we need to make contatc with a insider a caseworker and get all the...

thank you victoria im hopping for her to the life in the uk test by october m as her being able to speak english, it just a matter of her reading the book and memorising so i think its no prob i can see your advise that apply for FLR and then 1 year later apply for ILR is the safest way but by looki...

i didnt understand your point

it will be 14 months in total till the end of the visa , i was too thinking of flm but i might risk it i am not to worried on the absence part as we have been togeather and the uk is our main home its the financial part that worries me most with me not working and claiming beenfits for me and the ch...

we will be back sonn god willing to uk

within 20 days i plan to arrive

so when i do apply next year we would have been 13 months in uk

isnt this commitment ?

thank you
victoria for your help

and yes youre right it seems there is risk

whats your opinion in general on discretion of the caseworker do you think this is fair

and why do they leave it to his/her discretion

better it was fed through a computer system

what do you think

yes youre right but there have been many as it seems who have passed with absences i mean if they see you with children im sure this makes a difference ? and we are a genuine marriage, but the working issue does worry me maybe i could get the wife to work 3 months before the application and after we...

would listing my sickness be a good idea , and for sure they will understand that my marriage is not sham we have a legitimate child ? i mean i was thinking of writing a covering letter explaining the reason i took that amount of time outside the uk was as we knew my wife was pregnant and as the uk ...

thank you victoria by the time it reaches for me to apply for ilr it would have been 13 months in the uk and 10 outside togeather all the time as for the savings then i can show 7k which has been in the bank untouched for at least 3 years with proof and dont intend to touch it and as i will get my i...

my wife a singaporean national and i am a british national and we have a child who has singaporean passport with right of abode we have been married since 2005 and we applied for spouse visa sept 2006 and were given it our visa began from 08/09/06 but we entered the uk 25/09/06 as we were in transit...

need help in regards to this , how much savings needed to qualify for ilr if both are not working

ok jaj thank for the advice so my questions are the following guys (1) is pregnancy a valid excuse for being out of the country for ILR ? (2) if parents or a parent of applicant are sick and they are out of the country what proof is required ? is a gp letter enough ? (3) this my most important quest...

yes this is my situation as by the time i get back to the uk it will be 10 months outside of uk including 2 weeks when visa was issued and we came to my wifes home country so she can give birth the kid is evidence and my father is sick i am not piss taking alos pls somebody find me info on the issue...

is time spent outside the uk for birth of a child acceptable for ilr absence for a woemn who is on spouse visa and if someoby on spouse visa goes abroad to see sick parent what prrof will they need to provide is a letter from that sick persons gp deemed valid ? also how amount of savings is needed t...

from what is clear that there is no clear legislation on time spent outside the uk

so really it seems upto the caseworker and this is the dodgy part as if he/she could be a dearly beloved and reject you

and telling someone that youre marriage is a sham marriage then that is for sure not acceptable

i would like to know if its possible for me to apply for my child a right of abode cert in the uk he is boen to me a british citizen and holds a non eu passport as he is able to obtain a tourist visa on arrival he could enter the uk and i could apply for it there as its cheaper is that possible or d...
