Marriage Visa

Post by GregorClegane » Wed May 21, 2014 4:53 pm

Hello,

I am a British citizen who has a Vietnamese wife who is currently living in Vietnam. We are working on a marriage visa
and from what I can tell I meet the financial requirement and my wife speak fluent English and has a degree and work
experience in this country.

We will be applying soon and I'm stressing over what immigration will find to reject our visa. Neither of us have any kind of
criminal records and have not violated any rules for our application.

What bases, if any, could immigration reject our on? And what can we do to ensure our application will be successful?

Cheers

Wanderer, the OP may be salaried, self-employed et cetera, therefore, why would savings be relevant?

Yeah, boss man went away. Mr Abramovich is quite strict and he doesn't like us footballers playing on the internet even during close season.

Fernando Torres.

PS I got the 62k from this weeks bonus if the OP needs it....

No I am employed, should have been more specific.

Do you earn at least £18,600 per annum?

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

OP says he thinks he meets financial requirement that should be enough.
Other things could fail on, payment of fee seems one that people mess up on, accomodation, translated documents
I am not a forum GURU, I am often wrong
Dont take any notice of anything I post, I'm getting old and havn't the foggiest what I'm talking about.

On accommodation I am currently renting a two bedroom flat, I don't any property of my own.

I believe there may be issues with some of the translated documents, my wife may be able to amend any problems with them.

Payment of fee, I've read about that but I guess that's more a problem with immigration rather than the individuals.

Also, I can get a letter of support from a local MP, possible even two (I'm related to one friends with the other). Does that help at all?
