Re: Spouse visa - apply now or wait for citizenship

Most states don't have the crazy notice periods here, which means you could fly over, get married on a weekend, then fly back. He could then submit the visa application an...

Thanks for sharing the document.
So basically there is no option to claim tax credit for the daycare expense - is that correct?
If this is the scheme you mean:

No. Not unless one of you is an EEA/ UK citizen or you are allowed access to public funds.

He won't qualify for a tier 2 visa as a welder. Tier 2 sounds like a non-starter. I would seriously consider moving to the US. Wages are higher there (in general), in part, to account for the cost of healthcare. Even if you were married, it doesn't sound like he sould qualify for a spouse visa for ...

A mistake: rental income is between £1000-1600 a month. Several things: It's quite important how much that (non-employment) income is. If it is above £18600 in the previous 12 months, you can apply using Category C. As your child is British, you need to have £18600, not the higher amount. A LOAN wi...

Can this application be made anytime within the 52weeks period that the sponsor is on maternity leave?
As long as your partner is here legally (not as a visitor. He currently ticks that box) or applying for entry clearance from a country where he holds legal residence (not just visiting).

Re: Russian mother with Bulgarian Permanent resident card (but not Bulgarian citizen)

Would your father be coming as well? She would qualify under EU rules.

Is she dependent on you?

If she comes without him, she will likely need to qualify under UK rules in her own right.
