No - the earliest he can apply for ILR is after 23 months.

As long as your visa is still valid you can re-enter the UK.

Always make sure you apply before your visa expires.

I'm presuming you came here on a spouse visa, and if so the earliest you can apply is 28 days prior to the 14/12/2010, which I think is the 17/11/2010. This is of course assuming the rules haven't changed by then.

Apply at French embassy you will get it quicker, however your main destination must be France ie you will need return tickets + hotel bookings etc Their online appointment booking system has no slots available in May or June (though I think sometimes cancelled slots appear Thursday afternoons). May...

It all depends on home office how fast they process your application as per the guidlines it can take from 1 - 6 months ... And using the Nationality Checking Service does not mean your application will be processed any faster. All it means is that there are less likely to be problems with your app...

I have all photos for the marriage cermoney. but I was not able to apply for a marriage visa at that time becouse my income was not sufficient. At the moment I ...

You don't need an appointment to apply at the Polish Embassy, but they quote 15 working days to issue a visa!

djb123, no, that is not correct. Any legal time in the UK can count, as regards passing the "applicant was physically in the UK exactly 3 years before UKBA receive the Naturalisation applicant" test. I'll take your word for it, it just seems to me visitor and staying long term (ie resident) are not...

it all looks good. Make sure that he was "physically in the UK" 3 years before his application date (date of receipt) and check his absences are under the required numbers (Guidance for Form AN). Didn't think time in the UK on a visitor visa counted. Especially as the form asks "Enter the day you f...

You can apply for an NHS card , but you must show that you are actively looking for work. This means that you will need emails or letters to say that you have interviews scheduled, etc. If you don't have this, then it can be difficult to get your NHS number. Where did you hear that from? You can ge...

Is the complete number 08708503491? If so it is Halifax/BOS, not the Home Office.

Someone with a very similar name to you has asked similar questions before. http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=18446&highlight= http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=13734&highlight= Whatever happens she ought to apply for an annulment under the local law.

The deductions it refers to are the ones that appear on your pay slip - NI, maybe pension, etc. So it's the amount of money that you actually receive from your employer each month.

If she is a filipina who married a filipino in the Philippines then there is no way she can obtain a divorce in the UK. The rules state that "(ii) any previous marriage or civil partnership (or similar relationship) by either partner has permanently broken down; and" so it may be possible to apply f...

Hi There, I am an Indian national holding a post study visa and travelling from Gatwick UK Airport to India to attend my brother's wedding and upon return to Gatwick I would have to fly to Dublin on the same day. Now my question is, would I have to go through the immigration at Gatwick airport or a...

A budget plan is good. It shows how much your outgoings are. How do you get £1200 for visa fees? If you came here on a spouse visa you would have to pay for the the spouse visa (£515) straightaway, then within 2 years you have to pay for the Life in the UK Test (£33) and ILR (£750). Actually mo...

I agree, that's why I suggested providing a personal budget sheet to show that £93/week would be enough to live on.

I don't believe it will cause you any problems at all, it certainly didn't cause us any problems. Before my fiancee (now my wife) started the visa process (in the Philippines too) she gave up her job so that she could speak to me easier and spend more time with her family. great!!!thank you for tha...

Ok, thanks. I know that this isn't an exact science, but just to try to get a feel for things... If the Income Support level for a couple, per week, is £93, then that's just under £5k per annum. Adding £10k per annum for rent gives £15k per annum. So, over two years that's around £30k in total...

Me and my husband want to go to paris at the end of january. I am a british citizen and he is pakistani citizen. He currenly has a 2 year spouse visa. What documents do we need for Schengen visa ?

If you mean me (someone has told me that I am allowed out of the country for 180 days max. before it effects the time I have already been there for, is this true?) then re-read my post - I say 180 days in the final year . The BIA will usually disregard absences of up to 300 days in total over he 5 y...

As long as they receive your application for FLR by the 11th January you will be ok.

There wouldn't be any problems at all if you sent it by special delivery as late as the 8th January.
