Caseworker's childish brain always gets puzzled. You should have indicated correctly on the form that you are using category A but non salaried and also should have written same in covering letter. Your refusal reason is that the caseworker assumed you as salaried person.

You are really in critical situation that your employment is just 1 month short while your wife visa is expiring in same time. Even your employer can give such favor but you both or nobody can beat to clock which HO follow. If you previously had worked more than 12 months then you can use category B...

Your Iranian wife must have legal residence permission in Dubai if she want to apply from there.

Except the refusal on deception grounds any refusal should not affect any future application.

While performing new romance you should keep in mind that as you are an overstayer so you are at great risk and anywhere if you get caught then can be deported with entry ban. Home office don't care about romance and that's why there is none of such immigration route on that basis. Best is to return...

In the past I have noticed that any letter sent to the HO which isnt Recorded delivery goes straight to the bin specially any extra communications that they require after the submission of main application. Your case sounds even more complicated :( All the best. I don't think they bin any letter in...

Better to wait when you get payslips of 6 months/26 weeks even more then apply. And never expect that caseworker will calculate for you which they suppose to do but based on member experience on board they are very weak/lazy in doing so, so better you do that for them. And according to my guess sinc...

Hi, I was wondering if someone could clarify couple of things for me. I have last 6 months payslips but i get paid more than contracted hours every month because i work over time so my payslips never show the same amount. (my contracted hours do meet the required £18600 without any over time). you ...

If your wages fluctuate by working overtime even you have permanent position then better opt category A non-salaried where your last six months wages average will be taken like total of 6 months wages/6×12. I think if you opt salaried under category A then your employer has to give a lot of clarific...

Maybe notarised copies by solicitor or certified copies by post office works. But I think letter come along with the news of ILRapproval may serve the purpose as well.

That's nice we have female gurus here too.

you must have the signature of the person who had received your documents earlier in home office department which you can use to prove as well that you had sent them the bundle. But still it would be bit difficult to prove that what had you sent to HO in that bundle.

its really a great example of negligence made by case worker. I am not sure about asking how to ask for immediate reconsideration of decision for which you must be entitled for.

You mean the website generate £1000 IHS which you need to pay and email them and then they will confirm it to you and will arrange the refund of £400 in 28 days.

Yes indeed especially Casa & Cr001 who assisting people generously and I myself read their posts everyday.
Arthur can you list down the documents given you success.

I am sure no one can advise over New appeal system from outside UK for human rights cases. I am sure it will cause a big shake up and from long time that route was also getting abused but unfortunately the legitimate ones may also have to suffer

If you have few spare quids and little patience then request SAR file under freedom of information which will tell your records in the books of home office. It takes some time to reach but it's great source of information.

First of all your friend should resolve that issue by involving parents/relatives of her in back home and if still the issue not fix then better to report Home office along with her intentions. Women refuge centre or any other centre can't do anything without getting evidence and in now a days they ...

For marrying UK national the remaining visa must be 6 months left.

It's a very good question. Although in home office checklist of documents they have mentioned clearly about accomodation that don't pay rent until visa approves but on other hand they ask about adequate accomodation. It's really confusing. See that guide here; https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati...

I don't think that CAT B come into play because OP is working from more than 6 months for same employer. He need to choose either he is on salaried or non-salaried wages under category A route.

I am not experienced and never practically yet applied spouse visa but read and heard that usually VAF4A is being filled online and sponsor & applicant both can make its 1+ copies so 1 can remain with sponsor and another can with applicant to use it for biometrics. And I also believe that since ...

Check back your payslips and check that how much have you earned so far from the last six months including the holidays payment??

If you are giving example of per hour rate of £5.19 then that's fine. Otherwise no legal employment gives less than uk minimum wages rate which is currently £7.20. In my point of view even the difference is 3p then you should get its clarification written on employer letter plus your own covering le...

Non-salaried employment is like pay as you earn mostly run by single/multiple per hour wage rate which always varies. In that case as per common sense there shouldn't be any gross income figure unless the applicant's sponsor himself calculate it by using the formula of (6 months wages/6×12). 2ndly i...
