Following retirement my father would receive a good lump sum amount instead of pension and ideally would not be dependent on me financially Eventually I would like to live with my parents in UK and looking to plan forward to avoid any surprises down the line, would like to know my options - " ...

Thought!

You haven't considered any other holidays for the periods of 2 visas. Are you sure spouse wont leave UK for further absences?

Secondly what if the rules/laws changes by the time you want to apply post visa 2?

I recall I had been to HSBC bank for statements and they printed on their letterheaded paper and I used these original prints for visa applications without any issues. Again these looks different to what usually you see in monthly statement, format wise and other content. However these are legitimat...

Originals plus photocopies. Transaction prints in my view aren't credible for the purpose.

Yes I am perfectly aware of the financial requirement, which my fiancee exceeds. I have also recieved a band 9 in IELTS Listening and Speaking. The only thing I'm worried about is having the originals of the financial documents, because my fiancee doesn't think much about sending his payslips to Ru...

Hello, I tried to locate the official guidelines around this, here is my parent's situation. They were given a visa from 4th April to 4th October 2014 however they only stayed in the UK from 4th April to 22nd August 2014. I know it is generally best to wait for 6 months but does that mean I have to...

Are you sure you need certified/notarised copies of passport stamps? Can you point to where does it say so?

Coloured or B&W photocopies should show up passport number on each page.

To be honest marrying in Australia sound best option in this case. And then she can apply for spouse visa? Unless it opens up financial requirements Appendix 2?

ibrahim9140, in the case of birth certificate, your hassles are sorted to a great extent. Again my views. as now she is sole person mentioned in birth certificate, no marriage therefore no divorce documents required. If as you say birth certificate is a strong supporting document showing the relatio...

Hi there, In my case we applied for 5 year visitor visa for my mother in law successfully. She had been here only once prior to that. Its how you present the case. If you were solely bringing your in laws to save childcare costs, then in my view it doesn't make a cut from ECO's perspective. If the i...

My brother only stayed for 10 days. my parents hardly 2.5 months. its subjective. however make sure you buy travel insurance to cover their actual stay duration....

India is not that advanced in single parent legal terms, if I am correct. Sole responsibility: Court should still be able...
