I feel your pain, my hubby is in NZ and we are almost ready to apply for his spouse visa. He overstayed, was detained and paid his way back to NZ, so we initially contacted an advisor, paid £100 to be told stuff we already knew and are now doing the application ourselves. It would have cost another ...

I would suggest you have...
Hello everyone, I hope all are fine and in good health. I need advice on two things: I am applying the passport for my son and I am confused by Section 4 on the form. As we both parents were born abroad, more information is required of the grandparents: Full name/s Date of Birth/s Town and Country ...
IPS= Identity and Passport Service, this was the name used for the issuing agency before it was changed to HM Passport Office. I don't think it matters where it was issued and maybe one would never know..I sent my son's first passport application to Newport, got a telephone call from the Liverpool o...
"(1) on official bank stationery; or (2) electronic bank statements which are either accompanied by a letter from the bank on its headed stationery confirming that the documents are authentic or which bear the official stamp of the issuing bank on every page." From here: https://www.gov.uk...
I'm not an expert but "social ties" refers to family and friends in the home country as opposed to property IMO. Did you submit evidence of family ties? The ECO is looking for evidence of reason to return home after the visit, so evidence of close and extended family/friends in the home co...
Ugh. 2 more questions.. 1. Do I need to provide evidence of my employment in UK if we are using the cash savings route (sponsor)? 2. Does hubby as the applicant have to provide a letter from his employer in NZ? (It asks for this in the supporting docs guide but doesn't seem relevant to me..) Thanks ...
Hi all, I'm back with more questions lol. Can I submit certified copies of my UK passport (I am the sponsor) if it is still in my maiden name? I had sent a renewal off to change my to married name but UK passport office has to have my Irish passport changed first and the Irish passport office needs ...
I'd leave it to the wife if I was you ;) (I'm his wife lol.) Thanks John, we can evidence the 9 months he stayed with me in the UK and the 2 week trip I recently took to NZ to get married, but due to various factors- distance, work,cost,childcare etc I won't be able to make another trip to NZ before...
Hi all, Quick question regarding proving a subsisting relationship. We've been together since June 2014, quick timeline: June 2014 - Feb 2015 - Me in UK, him in NZ. We have thousands of messages and hours of calls from this period. Feb 2015 - Nov 2015 - He stayed with me in UK. UKVI have a record of...
Hi TripleJ, As I understand from my own research, the overstay itself does not result in an automatic ban when applying for a settlement visa. I believe that the ECO has to consider whether the overstayer ALSO attempted to "frustrate the intentions of the immigration rules" as detailed her...
how could I do confirm this thing? I need to know the accommodation requirement before applying their visas. And nobody has replied, but only you mate. But you are also not sure. Is it a difficult question? I don't know. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/maintenance-and-accommodation-maa/m...
Your ex-husband's residence in the UK isn't relevant, but you will need to submit your divorce decree absolute certificate with your spouse visa application. Have you budgeted for the visa fees? These have increased recently and your husband will also have to pay the £600 NHS Surcharge as New Zeala...
I am flying to NZ to get married next month and we will apply for my partners spouse visa in August 2016 as we now meet the financial requirement but I have another query that i hope someone can help with. I was previously married to a Turkish national (married in Turkey in Feb 2012), he came to the...
Hi all, Not quite sure why, but my access seems to be changed. I am not able to click on usernames to view past posts (when logged in) and the "view new posts" link has disappeared too. I have checked my settings but can't see anything there that may have caused this. The only thing I have...
WTC does not take your capital into account, (just any interest earned on them over £300.) Unless that capital is treated as income that can be taxed: "However, in some cases where the Income Tax rules treat capital as income, and tax it as such, you will be expected to include the taxable amou...
Hello again, After reading another member's post I have another query with regards to our future spousal visa application from NZ. As mentioned in my original post my partner came to the Uk and overstayed his 6 month visitor visa. The actual overstay was 119 days by the time HO agreed to let him buy...
