Hi thanks for replying. So in your case it took two weeks. Does it defo mean the visa has been accepted though? The email just stated application has now been assessed and they require the passport. My partner did ask but they never mentioned a date just that they will call. Following this thread a...

We're wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation - married but not cohabiting - and what evidence did you supply with your application / how did you approach it? Any tips would be gratefully received. Thank you! :) Since you are married, you don’t have to meet the cohabitation requirement....

Im looking for advice i have a son who is a british citizen born to a british father. We are married but not together anymore . I mean... the most convenient route to apply for a visa that will actually grant you an entrance is the spouse visa, because you are married to a British citizen. However,...

Did they mention how long it usually takes? My partner handed in last friday and still no news. I'm getting slightly worried now. It isn’t automatic, if that’s what you’re expecting. I handed over my passport when they requested it and they contacted me two weeks after to say the passport was ready...

Thank you for your reply, much appreciated, I will now wait for an email, Can I ask why your visa was refused?

You're welcome.

Yes, my visa was refused because my IELTS certificate didn't have an UKVI reference number, that was the only reason for refusal.

Sorry to be a pain. Could I also ask would she be able to get visitors visa while this mess is sorted ? She is Russian, she has a job and owns property there . It doesn't matter if she has ties to her home country, she already demonstrated her intention to settle in the UK by applying for a spouse ...

My wife received her passport back yesterday, There was no visa sticker or any refusal or appeal letter. We received an email on the 19th of September stating a Decision was made on our Application. Has anyone else experienced this? Yes, the exact same thing has happened to me in July and they were...

Has your wife have full custody of the children (known as sole responsibility)? If that’s the case, I don’t think any details of the father would be needed.

I would be grateful if you guys could let me know this new date to arrive in the UK occurred due to this incident will not cause any issues to my parents at the immigration(UKBA) counter at the airport.    Unlikely. At the UK Border control, the officers will check your parents have a valid visa to...

as it says i need a document which which proves link to myself (father). Does that mean I need to do DNA test? No, it refers to the birth certificate where both parents are named on it. It also says i need proof of address, is that for the parents or child? Well, the child normally lives with the p...

Spouse Settlement Visa(2.5yrs) > FLR(M)(2.5 years), SET(M)(ILR)(do NOT wait 12 months), apply for Citizenship.

Exactly! You’re welcome

she's been asked to provide proof that she's looking for work. She hasn't got a job offer or actively searching for now as she's acclimatising but would be needed soon as she settles in Any examples of what constitutes proof of looking for work? A proof of looking for job can be any confirmation by...

Do I really have to submit the phone records like whatsapp screenshots, skype, facebook etc? As its very hard to go back to history of all those messages and it takes ages to take screenshots. Do we really need to send them along with this evidence? Yes, it’s mandatory to prove you’ve been in touch...

How long is it taking for extension to come through these days??... 8 weeks on standard service. another question... will my wife be able to apply for british citizenship straight after getting her ILR after 5 years (2.5 + 2.5)??... Yes, if she meets the English requirements + Life in the UK test f...

My father is Israeli mother English. Then section 3(2) is applicable to your child’s case to be registered as British citizen: Section 3(2) A child will qualify under this section if: • they were born outside the UK • either of the child’s parents was a British citizen by descent at the time of the...

Just to clarify, although I never lived in the UK, we are setup with our own flat and UK bank accounts etc. I don’t need her to be there the first few days. In fact I want to go earlier so that I can renovate the flat and paint it As long as you have your vigenette on your passport, you can travel ...

Your spouse would have to pay 150% cost for delivery. It is not free for visitors. As CR001 stated, your wife will be charged 150% of the cost for a delivery since she will enter as visitor. Two years ago when I got a quote from a hospital in England, it was around £5,000 and it varies from hospita...

Our ties are very strong in both Turkey and UAE. By the way it sounds, it seems your wife has strong ties to her country of residence, plus she’s been granted visitor visas several times in the past. Just be sure to submit all the paperwork that demonstrates it (especially about her business and yo...

I guess then, the 3 years residence is obselete. Would be interesting to see an example of where this could be used.. Gov UK still advertise "3 years if married to a british citizen" ... I wonder if the following situation would work... Spouse Visa, FLR(M) 6 months in apply for citizenship, if its ...

Thanks for the reply. I should have made it clear that they are visiting us for one week and for any help needed for my wife and not necessarily just for the baby. Absolutely no wages involved. Then apply for a visitor visa for them, and omit “they are going’s to take care of the child” because it’...

I'm just confused and a bit worried because we haven't meet yet and the proof of relationship that we have are our more than 2 years mails and messages and pictures on Skype calls and Facebook messenger. would the immigration or the embassy get me a chance to get the visa? Hi! This is an opinion fr...

I was wondering since I dont have the ILR BRP with me and not knowing when it will be delivered, would it be acceptable to use my existing tier 2 general BRP/visa to apply for my in-laws' visa? I am sponsoring them. Although you may still have a valid tier 2 BRP, you no longer hold a status of temp...

First of all, congratulations!!! Would it also make our situation easier if we got married? From a legal point of view and for immigration purposes, absolutely. And that includes sorting out dual citizenship for your baby easier, to gather documents, etc. Would it be easier for him to come back to t...

8. Our marriage certificate issued by local Vietnamese authority Don’t forget that your marriage certificate needs to be translated if it wasn’t issued in English. You also need evidence of subsisting relationship, ie screenshots of WhatsApp chats, FB chat, call logs, visits you made etc. Complemen...

My problem is: the language requirements accept a Masters, Bachelors and PHD, however, there's no mention on PG Dip, which is an equivalent to Masters (the only difference is that I don't do the dissertation at the end of the course). It was taught in English. So, I just want to know if my PG Dip w...
