Quick update, all appeals to remain were refused and my mothers husband returned to Pakistan to apply for a spousal visa from Islamabad. This got refused and now we are at a wierd stage where there is an appeal in the UK. I assume only my mother would be present for this. At no point was my suitabil...

Hmm well that would just be the HCO finding reason to be difficult then. The certification process should be sufficient, they either buy into that process or not. I'm happy to provide acres of blank passport pages, just not information that is sensitive to me and irrelevant to the application. Note ...

I can obscure details irrelevant to the application on a photocopy. I certainly don't expect they need to know my full bank account number for example. Good lord, they need a copy of EVERY page of the passport, for what purpose? As for the possibility of fraud: my father owns a small furnishings com...

By the applicant applying under a spousal visa from Pakistan, my mother is automatically the s...

1&2) My mother and myself are English. (100% British) 3) He married my mother whilst he was still in the process of claiming asylum. He withdrew his application when he married my mother and reapplied as a spouse. He didn't think his case for asylum was sufficient in any case. The case has just ...

Hi, I have been asked by my mother to sponsor her husband of 3 years, who recently had his leave to remain refused. His intention is to return to his home country of Pakistan and reapply, presumably to return under a spouse visa. It is this application l will be acting as sponsor for. So far l have ...
