The plan is to travel by car to Morocco by catching the ferry in July from Plymouth to Santander in Spain, and then drive through Spain to Morocco with the plan of coming back in late Au...

This is a very niche and specific set of questions and I hope that somebody with knowledge of German immigration law can help out. The question is on behalf of somebody else, a citizen of an Asian country, who is qualified as an engineer and an MBA, and currently employed as the former. He is looki...

Fuzzy rules as to when a year starts to be honest.

Not fuzzy at all.

It´s a rolling period.

Today is the 14th of March 2023. Look back at all time spent in the UK since 14th of March 2022 and you know whether they spent more time in the UK than outside the UK within a year.

Good evening house, please I would like some urgent advice on this issue , and I'm not sure where else to ask about it. please help me . I have a brother who is a British citizen, he also owns a home in the UK whose mortgage he still pays monthly , however he recently moved to the US with his famil...

Thanks a lot, Simon. @secret.simon I'll try to do that. When she arrived 20 years ago, she registered with our consulate in Athens. She lived with my sister and then had her visa extended, too - as a family member of a Greek national. After that they didn't bother. She also has medical records, whi...

Hi All, Trip to Germany, all four of us have booked the ticket and ready to travel to Germany Family of 4 including myself. 3 of the family members have British Passport but i have Indian Passport, my question is do i have to include them in my application, I'm going to apply for short stay tourism...

Thank you ALKB - your comments make a lot of sense to me and are really useful. The Home Ties was always the most challenging part of the application for us. The Applicant had provided: - Family Ties - parents in province, one older sibling (working) and 3 young siblings she is very close to Does "...

Either the ECO is confused or wrong choice of words as there does not appear to be the concept of sponsorship for visit visas at all.

There is, I have acted as sponsor several times.

So, - Do you have a view (please) on whether it was correct of the ECO to state that the burden of proof on our visit visa application should prove "permanent and subsisting relationship” ? - Do you think it was correct of the ECO to reference 'cohabitation' ? Note I posted earlier what I believe t...

Hi, I am trying to get a polish passport for my son whom I adopted a year ago in Ireland. Has anyone gone through this? According to the law he should acquire polish nationality automatically but what do I need to do to have it registered? Do I go straight to the Urzad Miejski / USC to get him a po...

I am newly 18. I came to the UK just over 7 years ago (age 11) from Indonesia. I have lived here ever since on consecutive and unbroken Tier4 child student visas. I was brought to UK by my grandparents :- my Indonesian maternal grandmother and my UK citizen step-grandfather. I have always lived wit...

Thanks ALKB for your reply. The university did not give her any details. I will follow your advise and ask for an SAR so that it is clear what she is up against. It might not be illegal or rare but we don't know what the in-laws have said to the HO. It was an Islamic Nikkah so just a document stati...

Good morning all and thank you for your help and advise in advance. My cousin applied for a scholarship at Manchester university to study a PHD. She was successful. Unfortunately, she was told by the university before applying for a student visa that she had an adverse immigration history and is no...

Again, in my personal opinion going by the limited information available, you could: - wait until you naturalize as British and then try again for a spouse visa from abroad or He would need EUSettledStatus first before British citizenship. How would he meet the requirements to be granted Settled St...

This is a sponorship document for a short term visit visa for up to 90 days (Schengen visa). It does state that the guarantor declared that the visa applicant is her fiancé. When I sponsor my in-laws, I can choose between two different types of appointments at the police authority that issues the s...

The evidence available to us suggests that your sponsor gained their EEA nationality after the specified date. Your sponsor has indicated on their application that they were solely an Algeria nationality until 2021 when they gained Portugal nationality. You have also supplied a letter stating that ...

Been out of UK being asked twice and answer is same? The next question is to provide any absence details since first entering UK. I provided the above dates and also gave the reason of going back to care for her father in law and mother in law. But in the very next question the same thing is asked ...

I understand that there is a mix of personal, financial and immigration-related matters in the background narrative, but it was important to provide the background. Sticking to immigration-related questions for now: 1) Should the mother apply for a student dependent visa for the child? 2) Though th...

So essentially from that point on, border guards can no longer do a simple check on your stamps, to determine how many days of you Schengen allocation has been used. If they did, they would reach the incorrect conclusion. Instead, you'd have to point to the long stay visa, and ensure that they beli...

1) how is that problem prevented - I definitely wouldn't want to risk any Schengen problems in future After arriving in Spain with a digital nomad visa in your passport, I assume you would then, like with other long stay visas, apply for your TIE in Spain. When crossing borders, show this together ...

Do you want to just rent a room and not be there or move to NI completely? Yeah, basically that is the intention, pretend we live in Northern Ireland so she can get a UK work visa UK visas are valid everywhere in the UK, but if you want to go with her, nothing stops both of you to just go to London...
