The KOL exam doesn't test your level of English. It tests your knowledge of life in the UK....politics, social history, laws and customs. However, it's estimated that you would need level 3 English to be able to understand the questions, below that level ESOL study on an UKBA approved course is the ...
If you don't disclose your change of circumstances, that you fiance is now living with you, this would be considered as benefit fraud and liable to legal prosecution.
Hi Hish and Maroc2010...just one point. Although the ECO can contact the sponsor's employer they don't always do so, so don't think that if the Employer hasn't been contacted that nothing is progressing.
This thread has become really confusing. I can't answer 3 different situations at the same time! Abbi you bank statements will presumably show the rent being paid, but you should show something formal from the landlord to show you are renting the property. Do you have a tenancy agreement?
If you don't already have one, ask your landlord for a written Tenancy Agreement. Submit this with your application. You should also be given some form of receipt for your rent paid such as a rent book. This is for your own protection as much as anything. You have other proof of address in both your...
You don't need to show husband's earnings. Just the documents requested on Form AN Don't forget your husband will have to submit his passport or birth certificate to support your application.

As long as you've met the main requirements then Inshallah, you stand every chance of being successful:

Unfortunately you can only use the offical providers on the UKBA list.
It doesn't surprise me that the fee is £150 in the UK. I believe it converts from local currency to £90 in India!
The latest update from Rabat (last week) is that they are still considering October applications and won't start on November submissions for another month.
I'm guessing there was probably an increase in applications Oct/Nov wanting to beat the introduction of the new pre-entry English test.

The Post Office aren't always correct. I was given the wrong information with a passport application sent through the Post Office checking service which caused delays with issuing my passport. The Post Office refunded my checking fee as compensation!
I would send the marriage certificate.
When does her current visa expire? If she has completed one level of the ESOL course and has the certificate and letter from the college, this should be sufficient.
You can't be refused a Spouse visa due to a simple overstay, which is what your Solicitor should have advised you.
You have proof of joint address and household bills etc showing you were living together in a relationship 'akin to marriage' for at least 2 years?
I'm not sure what the technical problem is with your outbox but I would strongly suggest that you need to very aware of an advisor who claims to be able to get your wife a visa within weeks for a considerable amount of money!!
