Hi folks, Will be having some relatives staying with us from Pakistan this year - a young married couple & their 18 month old / 3 year old children. Both are healthy, but kids being kids, who would they see if they became ill? For Example: a flu or eye infection? I'm sure most things can be resolved...

I think you are being over-sensitive.

Be grateful that they ae asking i.e they are looking out for your childrens welfare & wellbeing!

The forms are self explanatory. Each of the forms explains the category of visitors that should use them. As you are inviting a family member (Cousin), VAF 1B ic the right form. Sorry my mistake! Its my wife's brother & his wife / 2 kids that we are looking to sponsor - still VAF1B? If the latest f...

Thanks for your replies & link to the app form - unfortunately, their links dont open up the form!!

Whats the difference between a GENERAL VISITOR [VAF1A] & a FAMILY VISITOR [VAF1B]?

I checked and we completed a VAF1A last time

Its been a few years since we last acted as a sponsor for a relative, so a bit rusty & I am sure things have changed since Basically, looking to sponsor a cousin & his wife (2 kids) for a holiday next summer from Pakistan (to UK) 1. Where can I find the application form for a visitor (so many out th...

Schengen visa from French Consulate Thanks - are they only based in London (I guess?) Also, would her son (who is also visiting on a Pakistani visa) be able to get one of these Schengen visa's)? How long is the process? Straightforward or as big a nightmare as getting a visitor visa to come to the ...

I have an aunt who is visiting the UK. She holds a British Overseas Passport.

We are going to France for the weekend next month - would she be able to come along with us?

Does she have to get a French visa?

Many thanks.

Quick question. Have a relative that I sponsored to visit us - even though he was granted a 6 month visa, he could only come to the UK for 6 weeks. He would like to return for a little longer sometime in the future, this time with family...100% genuine visitor - wanting to return back home after a f...

Why not apply for a visitor visa & get them to sponser you?

Will turn up to the hearing centre at 9am - with the files. And hope they can slot me in anytime during the day after checking the files out.

Fax them through straight away to AIT, with an explanaotory note that the originals will be dropped of on Tuesday morning. It should give the Adjudicator enough time to look at them,but would it give enough time for the HO rep too?. I dont know,they can be a funny lot sometimes. The actual centre i...

Anyone? - cant get throught to AIT until Tuesday...

Due to be attending an AIT hearing (as sponsor for a relative who was denied a visitor visa) Some of the paperwork I was going to submit arrived late - so I contacted the AIT who said it would be OK to drop of the file 2-3 days before the hearing. Was going to do it on Monday 25th May. Just realised...

Anyone?

He does work for a bank - but failed to mention this.

Should he have stated this, and used the above stuff as 'additional income /assets' etc.

Any ideas on how to go about an appeal?

Hi A relative was planning on coming the UK for a few weeks - as a visitor, with his mother - from Paksitan Application for visitor visa for rejected. Ive only seen the initial application & rejection letter in the last few days, and it was a disaster! Applicants failed to state things like who the ...

Thats really a trick question. If his financial statements are good, then he should forcefully mention the pregnancy, to get the attention of the compassionate side of the ECO, on the other hand, if his financial situation is shaky, he is better off not saying it. More often than not, its a good th...

I've spoken to my mate - he has decided to reapply - the appeals waiting list is jam-packed and AIT are hinting it could be September 09 as a minimum before a hearing date. All his paperwork is in order and he is 100% confident of success. But in the 'additional notes' section of the new application...

As ever, thanks guys.

Have relayed the above advice on and he thanks you all for your time

(Also, what would his child status be if it is born in the YEmen - and his wife wins her appeal - would the child be allowed to come to the UK). If he is British otherwise than by descent (e.g. was born in the UK), then his child is British by descent. Else, he may register his child within 12 mont...

compelling-the applicant life's is endanger compassion-the applicant life's is expiring wife is pregnant and she is not the applicant OK, I understand the 1st 2 lines - neither really apply to his wife. I dont understand what you mean by the final line. Yes, she is pregnant - but she IS the applica...

Hi guys. Quick summary. A friend applied for a spouse visa for his wife to come from the Yemen to UK. It was rejected on 2 counts (He FORGOT to send them the divorce certificate and sent in the wrong bank statements which showed him overdrawn) - both basic errors and worthy of him getting slapped! H...

Thanks for all your replies! 1) We posted a 'reconsideration letter' about 10 days ago. 2) We've now completed an AIT-2 Appeal form - which will be posted on Monday. Then we wait. I know its not my appeal, or my wife - but I'm feeling his pain! He found out last week that his wife is expectating the...

Frontier...

Do you think its worth him reapplying? He's desperate to be with his wife!

Any body?
