Awww, she's worth it and fortunately I think we're gonna be heading over there in the short term anyway.

Shit, I was afraid of that, how much is that gonna cost then ?

It might just be easier for us to get married in Japan then I think, thanks for your help mate

Hang on, so he was attempting to seek asylum but then he was quite happy to travel back to his home country with you in order to get married. Surely the purpose of asylum is based on the fact that he cannot return to his home country for fear of persecution or inhumane punishment, something sounds a...

That's a good question, it's weird because if you ask the USA; Gibraltar is part of the UK and that's it, most Europeans disagree and it's not written on the front of the British passport but would being there for 3 months force you to lose your eligibility to ILR. I would check that out with the em...

Do you know what ? I was born here so obviously I've never been to one of these things but I imagined that it would be exactly like you guys described, especially the part about tea and biscuits.

Gilbratar's border control is handled seperately, so much in fact that even foreigners eligible for the UK's visa waiver are only permitted to visit there for 30 days.

I am a British citizen, my girlfriend is Japanese and is currently here as a student and were are considering getting married next year, we were intending to get married here and then possibly move to Japan for a while before looking at immigration to a possible 3rd country like Canada or the United...

Bulgarians do not get full rights in Britain though and you need to be a citizen to sponsor a spouse or financee so I'm not altogether sure what difference it would make to the UK government.

They would have every right to 'piss him off', he violated UK law.

The Canadians were right to refuse him, I wouldn't want your "friend" in my country either.

It's probably something that employers can do to get people with a desperately needed skill through as quickly as possible. My girlfriend's former housemate had it a few years ago.

Well I would imagine that in my case (I'm in networking and security) it would be my Professional Certificates, if you have a degree then it would obviously be your certificate from that and if it's anything else, then I'm not too sure.

Thanks guys, to be honest I thought that would be the case, we're just looking at available options at the moment really since her degree finishes next year and we are looking at getting married next year and starting a life together really, and it seems really silly to go through the issues and exp...

I think pretty much every country will want proof that you have enough to keep yourselves going until your first paycheck comes in mate, you really want to be going there with a £1000 minimum.

They are currently in the process of considering adding South Korea and a couple of Eastern European countries on to the VWP list, I cannot see them adding Israel to it.

My girlfriend and I are intending to apply for the Diversity Lottery this year and just have a couple of questions about it, and I wondered if anybody on this forum could help because I can't seem to find the answers online. I am British by birth and therefore ineligible, my girlfriend is Japanese a...

I remember I left there once in 2000 and they didn't remove my I94W card and I just gave it back to them when I applied for J-1 since it was their mistake, but that was pre 9-11 and I hadn't overstayed or anything like that.

I would maybe consider calling the consulate.

I remember I was considering going back there for a Summer job a couple of years ago and I was told by the agent that it really only allows them to make sure that the person on the application is really you and it takes no more than a few minutes for a non-permanent immigrant.

I'm a British-born citizen in my mid-20's and my girlfriend (and future fiancee) is a Japanese student in the UK of the same age who is currently studying Sports Therapy. I didn't finish my degree in Journo because I basically became somewhat disillusioned with it in my second year and chose a diffe...
