If anyone has a gap between the visa issue and arrival date, the concession now in place allows the application to be held on file for processing until the qualifying date...28 days before the 2nd anniversary that you arrived in the UK. This saves you paying a fee of £445 (postal) for Further Leave...

Hasn't this been answered at length (80 posts or so) in another forum?
Maybe not the answers the OP was hoping for or just lack of understanding?

I've got some advise for him....don't copy someone else's post from another forum passing it off as your own!

Even funnier that Rashismart has copied his post from a Moderator on another forum...!!! Word for word.

Oh right! £585 now. ...but the OP says he's already paid the fee.

It won't matter that you don't have any savings, as long as you can show that you are able to support yourselves financially on your income. After paying rent or mortgage and council tax you should have a minimum of
£100.95 left per week.

The OP's last post was in June, so I guess it's resolved by now!

In order to qualify for ILE, and then ILR once the Life in the UK test has been passed, you must have spent the entire 4 years together outside of the UK.[/ b] If you have a period of time when either of you was not outside of the UK and living together then you won't be issued with the ILE visa. If...

Immigration Advisor...where are you getting your information from...it's way out of date! I'm assuming this is just your log-in name and you're not OISC registered! If you have been married for 4 or more years and living for the whole of that time outside of the UK, you can make this clear in your a...

The sentence ' We want to get married' gives a good indication that he does. And the child that Immigration Advisor appears to have assumed exists???...and I fail to see why this 'Advisor' believes it would be in the OP's best interest to apply for a spouse visa in Croatia, when they are entitled to...

You say that your father-in-law is supporting you financially. Is your spouse working? You will be unable to show the financial help from family to support your ILR application as this will be disallowed. You should show the last 3 months of bank statement for ILR and 6 months of payslips. You will ...

He may have difficulty in being granted a visitor visa due to the fact that he may not be able to convince the ECO he will return to Jamaica. In order to live in the UK he will need to apply for a spouse settlement visa on form VAF4a. The application fee is currently £585.00 You will need to show t...

Have I missed something? Where was there a mention of a child, and the OP has already said she doesn't want to marry in Croatia as her fiance can't get the time off from work and the process is longer. My daughter-in-law is Croatian...she applied for a fiance visa and married my son in the UK. Apply...

MP's hold 'surgeries' when you can make an appointment to see them to discuss issues/problems that you need help with. Call the MP's local office and ask for the next surgery date. You can do this yourself without the solicitor...in fact it will be better if it comes direct from you. MP's do often h...

I assume this wasn't a straightforward application as processing time for spouse ILR is around 8-12 weeks at present. Have you tried asking for your MP's help?

That include the water for your indoor swimming pool Wanderer?

It looks like July 2011

No idea for Mexico. If she enters on a Visitor Visa and the Immigration officer suspects that she intends to marry, she'll be refused entry. If she enters without a problem you would have to apply for a Certificate of Approval to marry from the Home Office. After the marriage she would have to retur...

You won't be able to apply for FLR(M) as he has no valid visa. The best option and quickest would be for him to return to his home country and apply for a spouse visa to re-enter on form VAF4a. He should be honest in the application about his overstay. You don't have to be working as long as you can...

Your self-assessment tax return will be sufficient to prove your self-employed status and earnings...supported by your Business bank statements.

There are more limitations as to who can sign as referee for a child...so the local 'Newsagent' isn't an option!

Did you ask for an appointment at any of the PEO's? You can keep ringing to see if you can get slot from a cancelled appointment.

The time on the visitor visa won't count towards ILR. A fiance visa (can only be applied for outside of the UK) is £585. Further Leave to Remain spouse visa applied for after the marriage in the UK is £665 if applied for in person, allowing her to work immediately after it has been granted. I agre...

I agree with John. My only comment would be that now the requirement has been reduced from 20 documents to 6 for some (unexplicable) reason if you're applying in person they appear to want more than the 6 requested. When my husband (successfully) applied at Croydon in March, they selected 15 in tota...

You don't need the proof of relationship for ILR...photos etc. Do you intend to apply in person? If so, you can take everything and they will select what they want. I assume you're submitting the ESOL certificate instead of KOL test? If so, in addition to the certificate you need a letter from the c...
