oh, your friend eh? okay, I'll play that game... if he came in july 2005, and then got a 2 year extension, surely his new expiry date would be 2009? so he is currently an over stayer and in all likelyhood any visa application would be rejected on that basis anyway and no, unless he gets his wife to ...

maximum stay on a visit visa is 3 months - if you put dates spanning 4 months your visa application will be rejected

3. you will have to apply for all 4 visas seperately, so you can put as many different sets of dates as you like

6. VAF1B

document checklists can be found on the application form

So yeah, it actually cost me about £615

batleykhan & Casa I am going to apply for Spouse Visa. Another question. Is it neccesary for local council to inspect the flat? Whilst it doesn't say in the guidance notes that this is REQUIRED, it does say that you need to submit "PROOF" that the accommodation is suitable, and from other's experie...

1. they say they aim to process 95% of applications in 12 weeks, you can check how long your local application center is taking here; http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/processingtimes my fiance's took about 1 month 2. Settlement: Spouse £585 http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/visafees/ 3...

if they want to get funny, they may also ask for proof that the accommodation is suitable; to prove this you need to phone your local council and ask them to do a Housing Inspection for Entry Clearence depending on your local council they may or may not charge a small fee for this, but it's the only...

In that case do you think withdrawing the appeal would be better?

if you look elsewhere in the recent posts, someone has just posted up that they have had their visa refused for submitting 3 months statements that are not originals, it's not 100% clear wether it's the originality alone, or the lack of a full 6 months it does say somewhere on the UKBA website that ...

I poured over the UKBA websites, found everything i could, and then asked for additionaly advice on this forum and we've just recieved back the approval for our fiance visa, so I'd say hiring an advisor isn't neccessary. 1. what does your wife have? she is the sponsor, so it'll be largely resting on...

I only have online banking, i downloaded the PDF's of my monthly statements online and then printed them on a colour printer, they looked exactly like originals apart from a watermark that said "duplicate" through the background.
