making family visitors a different category with a set document list it might mean fewer refusals. that's also what i thought. i'm hoping they can grant longer stay for 'SPONSORED FAMILY VISITORS' than 3 months for the normal visitors as well. a return ticket from asia can easily cost you hundreds ...
just read through the official BIA visitor visa consultation paper. it seems the BIA is consulting if they should create a brand new separate category called 'SPONSORED FAMILY VISITORS' which might be different from the normal visitor visa. here's the consultation question: 'Do you think a separate ...
thanks, JAJ. if 1-2 months, it'll do us, although only just. fingers crossed.
we didn't get him a passport, therefore no ILR for him. we thought it could save us a little hassle and money. but now it has brought us a little annoyance instead. his literally official nationality now is chinese.
i submitted my son's registration application through NCS last week. my son is 14 months old and was born in the UK. both my wife and i now have the ILR. i checked some previous threads and found it took at least 2-3 months for a naturalisation case. because we're planning some trips towards the end...
tried from 8:55 am and got the line thru' exactly 8:59, but fully booked for the date 22 Oct 07 Call them around 8:58am Mon-Fri and you will likely be through around 9am making you the first on the queue... you will likely get an appointment...will be around 1month from the date of the call (at the...
there're always plenty reasons that people want to spend half a day and a couple of hundreds quids more to get an instant decision, with getting passports back quickly and safely and not being able to bear the up-to-2-months uncertainty being two of the most popular reasons. one of my friend's depen...
myself and a few of my friends came through exactly the same situation. the truth is the HO only allocates 4-5 appointment slots for the applicants with dependants in each office every day. they save considerable time for those applicants coming through "designated" solicitors. aparently t...
As much as I sympathise with the original poster, this is an issue for a family therapist, not an immigration lawyer. The OP has absolutely no chance of getting the BIA involved. There is no law against leaving your wife after obtaining indefinite leave to remain and the OP would be very very hard ...
does anybody here know anything? any case law, any experience? any bloody anything? do you actually achieve anything other than wallow in someone else's misery. what bit of the word help dont you understand? sorry, mate. no one here wallow in someone else's misery. instead, they're trying to give y...
i'm chinese too. sorry mate hearing your story. from your posts, it does look she's trying to get a visa to the west. she was dating different guys from the west in different countries on the internet. she was happy to marry you even if you guys have only met once. you say she's very traditional. b...

i fail to see what the fuss is about. i suppose a student visa is a student visa. i don't know if there's a specific visa type called 'sandwhich course student visa'. if there's not, since the visa of the op's wife is still valid, how could she become illegal? my understanding is op's wife can apply...
alright, this's getting more and more focused on chinese people spitting. before the moderators close this thread off, i'd add one more post from me here. to SYH, i followed your links and read the articles and couldn't find anything about that chinese think spitting is good for their health. maybe ...
And you know the spitting is very different in Asia than in the UK, in Asia, they are digging deep in the throat and stomach trying to eject the most nasty things. In the UK, when they spit, it is still nasty, don't get me wrong but its more just from mouth and nose. so the british government shoul...
so, you've been to japan, singapore, and also thailand, mailand china. and you're aware that those are all asian countries, but you still think 'In Asia, people spit all the time on the street'. that's fine. it simply gives us an example of how accurate your judgements are. btw, in singapore, if a t...
In Asia, people spit all the time on the street. They believe this keeps them healthy, even though it does the opposite. who told you that? where are you from? nonothing you are clearly trying to continue this nonsense of nitpicking everything I say. From where I am is irrelevant. If you have to kn...
the guy came here to say: "Rumors : ILR to be discontinued" he didn't come here to say: "ILR to be discontinued" he came here to ask if a rumor is true. he didn't came here to spread a rumor as if it was true. sorry, i can't see why so many people are mad of him. having said abov...
wanderer, thanks. i think you're right. it's also what i thought, but when it comes the forms from the HO, my english becomes untutored. i checked the old version of SET(0), it's eaier to understand. You should attempt to list all absences if you are able to do so, however short they may have been, ...
in the form, it says: "give the dates of and reason(s) for the absences in the spaces below. List all absences, however short, including all of 3 months or more."
does it mean i need to list all absences or only those longer than 3 months?
