FLR (FP)

However, I would express caution in applying on the grounds of Human Rights based upon medical grounds unless your father has a severe terminal illness.

I would say it depends on the nature of the offence. But I would imagine that the relevant authorities would not allow the Home Office to remove someone if there is a possibility of them being charged/sentenced etc.

As has already been mentioned your partner will not be allowed to switch into another category whilst in the UK as a Visitor. This is the intention of the Visitors visa that the holder is allowed into the UK for a short period of time and will return to their country of origin. Unfortunately, your p...

If she is disabled on full sick and disabled benefits, she will be exempt from the £18,600 required to sponsor him. He could return to his own country and apply for a partner visa if he has proof they lived toether as a marreid couple for at elast 2 years. Has he been working illegally? Using the N...

I cannot stand deception of any kind. To be so blatant about it and expect other peoples advice on how to circumvent the immigration rules is deplorable. Thankfully, we have trained Caseworkers that identify such offenses. Your feeble attempts to produce a fake job with fake earnings will be uncover...

My boyfriend who's from India arrived at Heathrow airport (London), he was then being held in immigration as they wanted to know the reason for his visit. He said it was tourism, but they saw he only had £700 in his bank account with him, they said he needs a minimum of £4000 with him and said he w...

I cannot say for certain but the chances are that you have been banned for obtaining leave to remain by deception. Which I believe carries a 10 year ban. Needless to say if you are banned any potential application for re-enter the UK would result in a refusal. Is it not possible for your wife to ret...

For what purpose do you want to come to the UK? I understand you want to start a life here but what is your reasoning?

Do you have a job at the minute where the skills can be transferable? Do you have an existing family?

There has not ever been any intention for her to settle in the UK. I don't think she would be very comfortable here at all as she doesn't speak English /different culture etc. She also has a loved one back home. She's here to see her daughter for the first time in 2 years and her newborn grandson. ...

I have been refused entry in the UK for the first time out of the 3 times I visited. I am a US Citizen and have no family in the UK. I have never overstayed and only stayed in the UK for 39 days on each visit. The reason for my refusul is because 1. did not provide proof of hotel stay or funds. 2. ...

The original poster seems to think that it is a foregone conclusion that his mother would be granted a Visitors visa. Bearing in mind that she would have to demonstrate to the Entry Clearance Officer that she intends to leave the UK before the expiration of her visa, this is not necessarily straight...

Another case. PSW applicants lost: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2014/1493.html This judgment is intended to clarify the law in relation to a number of grounds of appeal currently relied on by appellants seeking to challenge decisions of the Upper Tribunal and we therefore give permission...

What Immigration Category did you manage to get leave to remain under? Tier 1, Tier 2, Spouse etc?

I agree completely with Paperpusher, he/she is clearly knowledgeable and their advice is worth considering. I will add a minor point, whilst the immigration rules don't specifically state that you must have met in person, one would make the assumption that if you are coming to marry, that you will h...

I suggest reading the Immigration Rules very carefully and seeing if you meet the criteria. This is the same criteria that an Entry Clearance Officer will adhere to and if he is not satisfied of anything, he will refuse your application. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachmen...

Dear Members, I am on tier 1 General visa, just got 3 years extension, my wife is on tier 4 visa, we have one child and expecting another one soon, if she wants to become my dependant, does she will have to go back to country and apply from there or it is possible to switch to Tier 1 PBS Dependant?...

The question OP had wasn't whether or not overseas earnings can be included in extension application but whether the "uplift ratio" can be used (as was used when applying under this route for the very first time from outside the UK). The answer to that question would be that no uplift factor is app...
