Do you realise how silly your proposal is OP? You want people to be granted a visa just for dating someone and not showing any sort of commitment? If your brother and his gf are so reluctant to get married then they can have a long distance relationship like thousands of others. Also I hope you real...

So you have a 3 year old child and have been together 8 years but you're not ready for marriage? :roll: If you don't have proof of 2 years of living together in the form of mail addressed to both you and your partner to the same address then you don't qualify. Simple. You'll have to look for another...

Greenie, am I wrong in thinking that everyone is supposed to pay their own separate council tax bills when in a shared building? I've lived in shared accomm before and everyone was treated as if their room was a seperate flat. Obviously if a couple lived in a room, they wouldn't have to pay twice ov...

Does she have any other ties that she can prove?

Hi can any one please help me also my husband is living in Egypt We have been married for 2 years now he is the love of my life I want him to come and join me in the uk , How easy is this going to be ? Thanks all Depends on your situation. If you provide all that they ask for on the application it'...

First of all, this experience is pure luck and not in any way representative of what would happen most of the time if applicants submit the same amount of evidence. Secondly, sharing a success story is fine, but saying " I did have a glance over some forums for ideas and advice..... BIG mistake. I j...

Thanks for the reply Elana would it be possible to get child tax credit without it affecting my wife application ? I'm gona send off her application ASAP. Will keep you posted with what happens. Lanz Yes it is. Just make sure they are aware of your wife's immigration status and make it clear that s...

If your wife is not attending this will get reported. So she will be seen as an over stayer if this continues.

You can apply for benefits for the child in your own right but don't get extra because of your wife.

Congrats on your success. However, although I see that some applicants have a fairly straightforward process with the UKBA, this is often depending on the country. I have been married since 2010 and because my husband is from Jamaica which is notorious for refusals in the past, I am waiting until m...

Congratulations on your success and good luck with the new arrival. I didn't think your posting was "rude" in any way whatsoever - it's good to hear some positive news and your application may be directly relevant for others reading this forum in a similar situation to yours, coming from a "fast tr...

Well your post is a bit rude to put on a forum such as this! Firstly, a lot of people on this forum do NOT come from fast track countries such as America, Canada, Australia etc... so your experience is not going to help many applicants on this board. If a person from Pakistan applied with the same e...

Yep! I'd go elsewhere personally.

You have none. So none.

No the delay will not be that long.

So can I assume that applicant with ONLY these type of criminal offended would be rejected ?! My concern is about drink drive, banned for a year but agreed to take rehabilayion course which eases case and fined £200 and. Nothing and nobody was damaged or injured Would it be rejection????? What year...

Hi I'am using form VAF 4A the exact question is Have you live with your sponsor in a relationship like marriage or civil partership any time please provide details of when and where you live together and for how long. Seems clear enough to me. Just answer honestly? What's your question? I don't und...

yes and yet it seems you would sooner point this out then post a use full comment help when the post was up. Considering you've deleted your question, how do you expect me to answer? I wasn't on when you posted your question. We don't all just live on this forum. Like John pointed out, you waited l...

Um people devote their time on here for free! So pardon us for wanting to maybe enjoy the weekend or our families.

I think you answered your own question.

If you're here on a regular 6 month visit visa, it is illegal to be working. It doesn't matter if it's a UK job or remote.

I like this quote: ‎"Cameron promised to reduce net migration. That's not the number of migrants, that's the difference between migrants arriving and UK residents leaving. Sorry to break it to those who think the country is "packed full" or "under siege": the government is not interested in decreasi...

They can refuse based on the fact that your family does not have to live in the UK and you can still be a family elsewhere.

If during her overstay, she used the NHS and did not pay her whole bill off in full, she will be refused a visa (if she used over £1,000 worth of services). Keep that in mind.

Hello ElenaW and thank you for the fast reply. From her previous experience of applying for student visa in the Philippines it was very expensive and took a considerable amount of time to be processed. She thinks it's easier, cheaper and has more chance of success if she is to apply from while insi...
