I did ESOL level A1 in London whilst on holiday. It was Speaking and Listening only. Contact Naric and confirm what English test your fiancé needs to take. Bear in mind from October 2013 the English Test will be at level B1 for ILR. I assume that a basic level of A1 will remain for fiances, but Nari...

Hi, I applied for Tier 1 entrepreneur visa in September 2012, still waiting for a decision, can I get married to my British fiance without my passport. I appreciate any help. Thanks so much. Have a look at these documents and see if you have any of them as proof of identity. http://www.haringey.gov...

Yes, make sure it's capturing history. Save it because if your pc breaks you could lose it.

In my opinion it is best to show that the persons coming to the UK for a holiday have a genuine reason to return home. Therefor submitting documents showing where they live is essential. Don't ever mention anything about staying for long peroids or settlement as a general visitor as the application ...

Keep a log of phone calls and chat history. Skype is good for that. You need to show evidence that the relationship exists.

Read the guidance on the UKBA website for bringing a spouse to the UK for settlement. She must have passed a recognised English Test and you will need to earn 18600 annually. When she arrives put her name onto some bills and start a paper trail that shows you are both living together. Internet or pa...

The UKBA asked for further documents and in their list one of the documents was to include 5 official sources addressed to BOTH (they put capital letters) parties either jointly and separate should be submitted. My bills under my name that I submitted- TV license, g...

Once you are refused you then fall into new rules. This only applies if new rules have come into affect after the first application. In your case you applied again after 9th July 2012 and therefor will be subject to the new rules.

You are infact in a good position since the case worker is ready to close your case. Just write a letter stating you support your wife as she doesn't work and probably not allowed to at this stage. Add your spouse's name to official documents such as Council Tax. If you rent premises then have your ...

Why did you apply for another visa if you were already allowed to stay until 2014?

Your spouse's passport should have been submitted with the application. From what I have read on this forum it is usually a good sign to get a call for more documents. This might mean a caseworker is currently busy with you application and a result soon. Do you meet the finacial requirements and Eng...

Hi everyone, can you guys help me. I received a letter from them asking for documents.

Follow this guideline as it may give you the information you require.

Yes, get proof from both employers that you earn x per month. Possibly deposit cash into bank so that it reflects on your bank statements as you will need this again later on when you apply for FLR or ILR.

Hi all, Is there any legitimate phone number/contact address for chasing up applications that have been held beyond 6 months? All I can find is phone numbers with recorded messages with no instruction for applicants who have endured the incompetencies of the UKBA for longer than 6 months. Thanks pe...

Congratulations, 3 months is not that long. If you go the fiancé route to enter the UK and marry whilst there, then long delays occur to get FLR (m). You cannot work either until you get your biometric resident permit.

I have been refused a visa one week ago here in the Uk FLR-M extension. first application was rejected bcoz the payment didnt go trough and the second time i applied visa was expired. I already book our ticket on 29 going home to my home country. I want to ask . WHAT KIND OF ENGLISH TEST I NEED TO ...
