Why can't you simply refer to your wife's country as ''Zimbabwe''. Many people dont even know of a country called Rhodesia. Named after ''Cecil John Rhodes'' Rhodesia was an unrecognised state and only existed between 1965 to 1979. For over 30 years its been known as ''Republic of Zimbabwe'' To your...

Thanks so much John, thats our intention. They wrote in the appeal acknowledgement letter that we should hear from them by the 16th of Oct. If we dont hear anything by that date, we 'll start chasing them up. Thanks you once again for pointing me in the right direction, God bless you.

Hi John, An update on my tax credit issue. As I said in my last post that the TCO wrote me a letter informing me of my details being passed to my local Jobcentre Plus for Identity interview. Unfortunately, the TC application was refused on the fact that I didn't turn up for interview(but I didn't re...

It's shocking that an ECO can refuse an application based on the fact that phones were picked up to verify one document, and labelled that as ''deception'' while every other documents in the applicaction are verified to be genuine.

I dont think there's any limit mate.

Many times, the BHC just phone up the Banks and asked them to confirm some details on the accounts, including a transaction on a particular date. I have watched an episode of UK Border Force and watched the staffs confirming applicants Account statements over the phone in India. Such forms of verifi...

Its a very complex case. Returning to Nigeria would be the best option but I am scared of a 320(11) in a case like that. I think its an error by your solicitor to have mentioned a ''forged passport''

Congratulations and all the best.

As far as I know, they are qualified Immigration Solicitors. Any application could be refused, it does not matter who's your solicitor. Having said that, if you are not happy with your solicitor, you can always look for any OISC approved one(sometimes through recommendation).

Good luck

Perfect answer from Vinny, I also learn something new on that.

She will be informed of the ban when her next application is made. The case might be different if her next application is after one year of the last depature.

Why not sort the tax issue out and find out if there's a way to register/legalise your marriage in Spain, then re-apply, you have nothing to loose, it's free.

I believe the EEA rule is still your best option, compared with the UK immigration rule.

Good luck

can i get married at the registry office without any id? No, I am afraid. You need your birth certificate and your ID(Passport or Driving Licence) as well as a COA in your case. I will follow Casa's advice if I'm in your position. If you still wanna go ahead for your COA(which might be abolished in...

if applicant do not show that they can accomodate themselves without sponsors support in UK then they are not allowed to come to UK. ''No recourse to public fund'', not a no recourse to sponsor's support. I dont think the above statement is correct. If a sponsor is providing accomodation and suffic...

If you are going back on monday, you can't apply for a COA and you can't get married in Pakistan as you have said. I think the options are to apply for a fiance visa from Pakistan, then you can get married here without the need for a CoA but only if your partner have a settled status(ILR or BC). Wha...

Congratulations mate, get married first and follow the advice of your solicitor. I dont think Ajmal understands the meaning of ''marriage of convinience''. It's ridiculous for someone to brand a relationship with a 9 month old as a marriage of convinience. As you have been advised already by Casa, f...

Guidance notes and the form is Form FLR(O)

I think all travellers to and from the UK or anywhere else must be in possesion of a valid Identity document. Well said by Mr Rusty.

I think Residence Cards are for family members of EEA nationals

i submit rental agrement the contract on my name i pay 900 pounds per month i submit my 8 months pay slip and employer letter which is i get always 1000 pounds per month my loan amount direct debit which is 388 per month I think the ECO is not looking at your bank balances, you are required to pass...

Well, I dont think it's wrong neither do I think there's a limit to the number of people you can invite at the same time. Having said that, inviting 5 family members over to celebrate ''diwali'' (I dont know what that is) as you have mentioned would leave both you and the applicants a massive job of...

Are you inviting them over to attend a function?

EEA Family Permit? I think NO

Family Visit? Yes

HRY2005 - Your guidance notes differ from the official FLR O guidance notes.. Are the guidance notes you linked concerning DL also valid and upto date as of now?

Do you have a link for the guidance notes and form?

Regards.

While I will suggest that you seek the advice of an OISC registered solicitor or the IAS as suggested before.

I think it depends on the IO. If thats what you've got why not send it, they can verify from the issuer if they are not sure.
