I would submit everything possible to show you intend to return to Australia. Do you own property there? Have any other ties apart from your employment?
The main point the ECO will be looking for is evidence that you will leave the UK before your marriage visit visa expires...i.e that you don't intend to use this as a 'cheaper' means to enter and then overstay. So submit evidence of continuing employment such as a letter from your employer agreeing ...
It depends on the NCS. It may be wise to shop around as some are busier than others or are open fewer hours. You can use any NCS you choose.
Before you prepare your application in September, make sure that the form is the most recent.
You'll have to submit a strong application showing that this is a genuine relationship and not a marriage of convenience as a means of returning to the UK.
You should have also submitted the passport you entered the UK with. Did you do this? If not, they will either write to you requesting you send it, or reject the application as invalid. Or if the entry passport is still with you, contact them to see if you can send it now. Have you received an ackno...
Cino, John (moderator) has already advised on the application regarding time spent in the UK. Nazia, you need to wait for confirmation regarding your address during this period...I'm not qualified to advise you. Nazia, it would help if you continued in your original thread as this is where confusion...
Are the savings substantial? The ECO's concern will be how long these will last. Have you researched the employment situation in your field of work in the area you intend to settle? Have you checked the current cost of living in the UK..rent, food, council tax, utilities etc. The ECO will be aware o...
You don't count the day of departure or the day you arrive back in the UK as you're considered to be present at least for a part of each of those days.
It will show that you are 'employable' in the profession where you have experience, but it will do little to strengthen the financial side of your application if the rest is weak. The ECO will look for either a written job offer or sufficient savings to support you and your family while you are seek...
I believe this is the info you need: Passport/Visa Note: Visitors requiring a visa to enter Spain should be aware that by crossing into Gibraltar they have officially left Spain, and will require a new visa to cross back over the border . Visitors with a multiple entry visa for the UK, and those wit...
Why leads you to believe that your mother and brother (who I assume aren't currently resident in the UK) qualify for ILR? I'm also assuming you don't mean ILR passport but ILR 'visa'. How old are they both and who are they financially dependent on? In addition to this, earlier this month you posted ...
I think you may get through with the old IELTS cert as you can show that your use of English has been continued since then...which appears to be a key point in the validity of IELTS which is older than 2 years.
I think you should print and send that together with your old IELTS cert.
The case I mentioned was from recent experience of application submitted by an legal rep for his client.
Enjoy the holiday
