The only pages you would need certifying are the last two pages (the page with all the details). There is no need to certify the actual pages within the passport, unless they have been stamped with an exit/entry stamp. Any other pages will be blank and are of no use to the ECO.

I think it would be accepted, but you would need to make it CRYSTAL CLEAR to the ECO with a covering letter explaining the situation. If you will be in temporary (or any other form of) employment up until the contracted job starts, then I would enclose any payslips, employment letter etc for this pe...

I think your friend has no option but to apply for FLR. If he does nothing at all, when his wife’s 2 year spouse visa expires, without an extension (or application for an extension in progress), she will be regarded as an overstayer. Tell your friend to try and get as many documents/letters as he ...

You could do it yourself. Take detailed (including measurements) photos of all the bedrooms, also pics of the Spam, living areas and bathroom(s). Then write a covering letter summarising the space/rooms available in the house and also state who is living at the property. You can also get an electrol...

Guys, I know exactly what you’re going through (having been in the same position as you in the past). Unfortunately, there is not much you can do except ring constantly and get your partners to queue up daily at the office, or just sit and wait quietly (the latter option is hardly doable consideri...

1. how much do we need to show in our accounts? There is no set amount of how much you need to have in your bank account before you apply for a visa. You just need to show that you have sufficient funds to support both you and your husband without having to claim any public support, such as benefit...

It just means that the application has been processed, you won't know if the visa has been granted until you visit the Visa centre.

Is that an appointment for an interview? I can only imagine the reason for it being so far away is because they are busy.

Hey Ciran

It sounds like your application has been processed. The tracking service won't say what the result it, just that it's been processed. You won't know the outcome until you hot-foot it down to the VAC office you submitted your application to.


Good luck.. I hope it's a good outcome!

Time allowed out of the UK on a Spouse Visa?

How much time can a person spend outside the U.K. within the 2 year spouse visa period? Is it something like 3 weeks per 6 months?

Also, as long as you don't go over the recommended "away time", it shouldn't have any impact when applying for ILR/FLR should it?

Thanks

Depending on when you are getting married and how soon your partner would like to come to the U.K, you could apply for a spouse visa from Turkey. The spouse visa allows the holder to live and work in the U.K for a period of two years. At the end of the 2 year period, you can either apply for Indefin...

Try calling 0092512098999 and go to option 2(for urdu) and then option 6(for other queries). They normally answer the phone within a few minutes. Have your QML and GRY-PK number at hand as they will ask for this.

Good luck
