I was sternly warned that I was not allowed to work on this visit.

Does that mean your clock for ILR did not start on that trip?
Did you have to enter again the next time with the sponsor?

Thanks for the great replies, it’s a relief. Speaking of marriage certificate, I can’t remember if I mentioned it before, My wife and I are originally Syrians, she was born in UK and hence is British citizen. I hold Australian passport.

Once entered it asks what you want to do: b...

It is possible to count foreign sourced evidence for cohabitating in UK address?

For example, Australian Tax Notice sent to our UK address? Or Australian bank statements sent to us in UK with UK address on them?

My main concern is the upload facility via VFS Global. I had so much trouble with the system, it makes me wonder if they have actually seen the documents. I checked this morning, and the documents they requested are on the system. It’s the same concern I have. I uploaded the documents and I checked...

What is the refusal basis please? Lack of which evidence?

few quick general questions: Spouses get 2.5 year visa then renewable for another 2.5 years. Why do I see people talking about 33 months? Where is the 33 month given ? Is it the expiry of BRP? Or I need to count 30 months from entry stamp even though the brp may be valid for longer? Applying for ext...

It is only 4 of us, and that's ho...
