omg..how? im surprised 2 hear that at the very least... gd 4 u!

[quote="sky07"]Hi, sorry to hear you are in the same situation, I know it's really hard. We got refused the visa in November 08 and had the appeal in June 09 and thankfully won and my husband is in the UK with me now. My solicitor was Victoria Sharkey from Medivisas who I can recommend highly. I sub...

My husband was refused because he entered the UK illegally and "sought to frustrate the immigration laws" so your husband won't have that problem. My husband had a translator so yours could too if he wants and will have the advantage of understanding what the translator is saying to the ECO! Let us...

Thank you all for your help. I feel much better now. I can't believe how much money the home office must make on taking peoples money for applications. If i hadn't of read of these sites i would never of know half of the stuff i needed to put with my application and it would of certainly been refus...

After a year of being away from my spouse. I finally won my appeal and issued a VISA. :D :) Thanks to this forum and GOODLUCK to everyone who still waiting for the outcome of their application. GOD IS GOOD congratulations blessed lady!... can i ask why wer u refused initially? where did he apply fr...

Congratulations!!! I remember all too well that waiting feeling for my husband to come home to the UK! He got removed in October 2006. We married in his home country in December 2006. Although he did not get refused the spouse visa, he still had to wait 4 months to get a decision about it (his brot...

I'm hoping your child's birth certificate has your name as seen in your passport on it. If so I think proof of partner is a given Go over the application like there's no tomorrow, know the rules inside out, read the diplomatic service procedures for the application in question. If so you should be ...

my partner left voluntarily december 08,and for the past 8 months we have been trying to marry in his home country. Being apart for longer than six months may also be a problem for unmarried partners . Periods apart for up to six months would be acceptable for good reasons, such as work commitments...

lol obie..

yes the lawyer seems 2 think the same... apparently,given enough time and effort,hard work and determination it cud work

hopeful,is the only way forward i guess

it gets worse - you could get the fiancee visa rejected, then have to wait 6-9months for an appeal, and get lawyers 'n all involved in that too! choose your next step very very carefully. Also one solicitor might not be the most knowledgeable one. Try to get some free advice from a selection and ba...

hmmm i dont have any solid proof... :( aside from a child,and the time we have spent apart i have gone back and forth to his country? yes GinoT...after 8 months running around,we had 2 choose another route...I think its roughly the same in his country,i doubt it differs much. apart from the visa mon...

Janabee have you any evidence that you and your partner lived for two years as a partner, before he left the UK in 2008. If you do, you can apply for the Unmarried partners visa, which awards the same right as a spousal visa, and valid for 2 years too. hmmm i spoke 2 a lawyer recently,who didnt men...

as far as I remember fiancée visas cost about the same price as a spouse visa which is about £600 abroad. So you'll end up paying £1200!! I don't know what you mean by "conflicting laws", but if you are both not married, you should be able to marry in most countries in the world and get the cons...

jaanabee, you might want to consider getting authorisation from the consulate in the home country of your partner to get married there. Then you will be able to apply for the spouse visa straight away - financée visa is expensive and coupled with the spouse visa in the UK we're talking pretty big ...
