The current marriage is not one of convenience. According to the OP, the second marriage has also ended in a divorce. Thanks for your quick reply he got rc feb 2012 and got pr(ror) he not anymore with his wife. None of us, except the OP's friend and his previous spouses know for sure. Now not to be...

The only issue I see creeping in is the possible appearance to the Home Office that he entered into marriages of convenience just to remain in the UK. That could lead to trouble if they decide to look more deeply into the immigration history and make that designation. Yep. That too. If that was the...

If it were the case that he did not have adequate visa as you said, he got married again to an EEA National in July 2011. This means that the earliest he can apply for naturalization based on good character requirement is in July 2021 if partner was exercising treaty right and not Feb 2022 as you s...

I do not think so. He did not breach immigration rule simply because he did not get a residence card. Ofcourse not. He simply did not, after the point of refusal and before he remarried and applied again, have a valid visa to remain in the UK. This will be considered against the Good Character requ...

Thanks for your quick reply he got rc feb 2012 and got pr(ror) he not anymore with his wife.

Hi all. Any comments on this from wiser and more experienced heads would be gratefully received. Simply put, my Thai national girlfriend is now pregnant and the baby is due in October. What I require is some advice on whether and on what basis it would be possible for her to relocate to the UK post...

He will be given a right to fair trial.

There is no right to a fair trial. This is not a criminal matter. It is an immigration matter and the Home Office has wide discretion on how they handle this.

Thank you for your reply, this is what I was after. Rather than someone just going “it’s not a visit” which I felt wasn’t very helpful at all, Sometimes we tell the truth, even if it is not what posters want to hear. If the Entry Clearance officer decides that 5 months is not a visit (a reasonable ...

Hubby total absences in 10yrs is 40days Hubby applied for ILr 10yr in sept 2012 (then I gained admiss 1yr MSc) refused in july 2013 with appeal rights This is where things get puzzling for me. Why was he refused, as in what was the specific reason the Home Office gave? Assuming his leave was entire...

5> After receiving British Citizenship and UK passport for my baby, do she have to take Indian visa or OCI before travelling to india, whereas we have Indian passport? Either will do. OCI is nice since it's for life, but it can take up to 6 months to process. Regular travel visa is much cheaper and...

The caseworker is not a passport examiner or a citizenship examiner. That is clearly outside his or her scope. Her checks are confined to establishing if a passport is bad quality or genuine. That is the job of HMPO who would have checked before issuing the passport. The Caseworker is not trained o...

I have just gone through my application and found the interview notes where i have clearly stated the hairdressing and cleaning was voluntary, so that is not working? Even volunteer work requires special permission in the UK. As you were illegally present in the UK, this is a specific violation of ...

I haven't seen my family for more than 10 years

Would you be willing to go visit them? Possibly much much simpler, depending on your nationality and visa status in the UK.

She is very poorly and can’t travel unfortunately Are you willing (and able) to give up refugee status and return to your country? Iraq is obviously a lot more stable now. You mention that your mother is living there. If she can live there safely with the present situation, presumably you could as ...

Hi People, Hope you can help and give guidance. I'm a 62yr old US citizen, have lived in the UK since 1961 and was granted ILR when very young, maybe 12yrs old. Last ILR stamp, in an old passport, is dated Jan 1987. I'm an very infrequent traveller and am married to a UK passport holder who was bor...

So now we are thinking to start arranging steps to get a settlement visa as that was ultimately our goal anyway. Is there any issue with getting married and applying for a settlement visa soon after a vistor visa refusal? Also is it worth paying a specialist to guide us through the application? Any...

it says on the first page that ''If you’re a Registered Traveller member, you can use either of the following at some airports and train stations: UK and EU passport entry lanes ePassport gates - if your passport has a ‘chip’ You also won’t need to fill in a landing card.'' But then on how to apply...

Hi Casa,

Thanks. Please note that he had not received the decision on his Tier 1 G ILR. Before he received any decision he varies his application to LR.

Thanks

If the previous application was going to be refused due to tax amendments, LR will likely also be refused for the same reason.

Given that there is no exit immigration, the authorities will not even be sure whether you have left or stayed or initiate any actions on your eventual departure. Not true any more. The UK does conduct exit checks and they do record exits from the UK depending on how you leave. Essentially, if you ...

No, you are mistakent. A person in the UK on a Fiance visa does not have to leave the UK and can apply for FLR(M) before fiance visa expiry. The Fiance visa is not indefinite (in fact I believe it is only 6 months). Somehow the holder has to regularize their stay. They either leave the UK before ex...
