But then why does the form refer to the guidance notes...which say to enter the day you entered the UK with view to stay on a long term basis
As a visit visa is obviously not a long term.

İ still don't get it. Either 2009 on visit visa or 2012 on spouse... Which year?

It wouldn't surprise me if they pit prices up in a few years bit included with that high cost is including the red UK passport right a

When you get a refusal how long after acknowledgment do you get the refusal and/or documents back?

Forgive me for being thick but does first arrival mean literally like the first day my husband arrived here on visit visa or in June 2012 when he got spouse visa as the guidance notes say enter the date you viewed to stay in the UK on a long term basis....when he was on.visit visa initially there wa...

Oh I know I just wondered what it was,that's all xxx

What I'm saying is he didn't include his wife's passport so they probably didn't think he was applying on marriage basis

Refused for applying too early. Personally I think that he didn't apply as the spouse of UK citizen.. As he's no longer with his wife, they're separated...that seems to be the most likely reason.

yeah thats what i thought. Thanks Casa

Whats PIO and OCI?

And also, like my case...im british and my hubbys iranian. Hubbys spouse visa started in 2012, he got ILR in July 2014 so eligibility as it stands, is still under the 3 year rule...right?

The guy returned to uk in december 2011 on spouse visa. he did 2 year spouse, and 1 year ILR... so why does he need to wait another 2 years? his wife is english.

A couple of my colleagues at work..... have told me somehting and im confused. one colleage told me her friend, is married to a Jamaican man. Theyve been married for 3 years. she bought him back to the UK as part of spouse, he did spouse + plus 1 year ILR but when he applied last month for BC they t...

I read they are going to introduce biometric enrollment for Bc applications too

I don't think that but I was quoting what the Checking service woman had been told from a caseworker at th
e home office

Ok but the woman at checking service spoke to.a caseworker in the HO and they said it depends on which Case worker you get.they may use discretion if you ask but it's simply a 50/50 gamble.

Why 2019 Ryan

19 months from Dec 2009-Septmeber 2011

But my husband didn't enter the UK illegally. He entered on a visit visa and overstayed it. He returned voluntarily and his spouse visa avisa was initially refused due to them claiming we hadn't put documents in that we had proof we did include. We won appeal when someone obviously went over it.

The council's do settlement checking services for £90.
We went day before going to.Sheffield peo.
The woman at settlement checking service put it all together for us and next day we gave it to them as she prepared. Hubby was granted within 2 hours x

I found it thanks

Ok but is it my tax office reference or my employer Tax office reference

Section 3, 3.5 it asks for Tax Office Adress or Tax Office Reference :: is that my tax reference or is it my employers Tax Reference?? How can I find this out?

Ok so would this be okay:: I entered he UK on a visit visa in July 2009. From December 2009-Septmeber 2011 I admit I overstayed. This was to continue my relationship with my partner( now wife) However to do things properly I voluntarily left the UK and applied for a Spouse visa from Iran. I rejoined...

Can we say we didn't realise it had expired and once we knew we consulted a solicitor who informed us that the only way t was to.go.home and apply from.outside the UK and that hubby did so voluntarily,
