Good advice. When your wife applies for her next visa extension, the Case Worker will want to see that your relationship is subsisting and that your marital ties remain in the UK. It would help if in addition to proof of contact, you continue to retain utility bills, tenancy or mortgages, bank acco...

Thanks for clarifying. From my personal experience (I worked in Abu Dhabi for 6 months last year as a seconded employee (ie I was paid in the UK but worked in UAE) prior to taking a permanent job here in the UAE as a permanent employee. As you are on secondment and be paid by your existing employer ...

I'm in exactly the same position being given very conflicting advice.

She hasn't been online in 11 months, you may not get a reply.

If you are working outside the UK but on secondment surely you will be employed as a UK employee still?

Will your pay be into your UK account from your UK employer or will you have a new employment contract in the new country along and be paid in that currency?

She told me that she wan allow me to do any DNA test for my baby dat she is in a society dat dont allow dat.evenif is not a blood sample.so was the second step should i tak.i wan to be sucessful in my appeal.she said she can follow me to my appeal and tell the judge that am the dad..pls advice me T...

Is the test against her religious beliefs as you previously stated? This may affect whether the court would grant an order to compel her to undertake one? If the religious belief is based on blood sample I have already given advice on saliva samples but I suggest you need an approved center. If ther...

Your name on the birth certificate won't be sufficient proof that you are the child's biological father. This is why you are being asked for a DNA test. You haven't answered my question as to whether your ex-partner was married to someone else at the time of the birth. This is an important issue in...

I hav my daugther birth cerficate.and am reisgter as the dad in the birth cerficate.i can prove am the dad wit that. I assume that you provided the birth certificate with your original application and the application has been rejected on the basis that this was not sufficient proof. Why would going...

So are you in the UK and she is in Sierra Leone? Is she living in sierra leone permanently? If she and the baby are in Sierra Leone living, how are you able to apply for a visa as parent (ie she is not in the UK)? Where are you intending to get the court order from (UK or sierra leone)? Under UK law...

If i get a court order will dat help me in my appeal or if she follow me up to court to tell the judge am the father of my baby will that be enough.. Are you all in the UK at the moment (the mother, the child and you)? If you are in the UK under what visa, right of stay are you there? On what basis...

If i get a court order to show am the father will the home office accept the court order Where would you get aa court order from? I assume if it's outside the UK they will be as skeptical of this as they are of the birth certificate info. If it's from the UK I assume you would need to prove you are...

Ok, I am now confused? You said she won't do DNA based on religious reasons and then she won't let you collect her? I can understand she won't let you remove the child from the UK but will she let you do the test? If the test is not an issue I can only suggest that you will have to attend the UK und...

I assume that the refusal for DNA test is based on using a blood sample rather than the actual DNA itself? Have you investigated if there can be a dna test based on hair sample or saliva? I am no expert on this issue, I am just thinking out loud. http://www.homednadirect.co.uk/dna-news/dna-paternity...

You've waited approximately 30 minutes to get advice??

I know that you want answers but you will have to wait for someone to come online who has knowledge or experience on this issue, assuming someone does.

It may even be that no-one has knowledge of this... give people time to come online.

You need to show that you effectively earn the threshold on an annual basis. This however is done by providing payslips and banks statements for the last 6 months. So you need to show that over the 6 months prior to the application that you earnt a total of 9300. In other words the lowest monthly sa...

So basically, taking screenshots of chat window, covering a few message for a day, at regular intervals (weekly)... and printing them?

In my opinion - YES

Non-salaried employment includes that paid at an hourly or other rate (and the number and/or pattern of hours required to be worked may vary) or paid an amount which varies according to the work undertaken. Salaried employment includes that paid at a minimum fixed rate (usually annual) which is usu...

I think from what I have read you are better off to take screen shots of your chat history over a period of time, submitting the e-mail log alone may get rejected as it's easy to alter an e-mailed log. Remember the ECO is sceptical from the start.

You can be resident in another country when you act as a sponsor for your spouse.

I assume your savings have been in an account and untouched for at least 6 months?

I am not very knowledgeable on the savings route as I will be applying for Cat A earnings.

Anyone?

Thanks, sorry for raising this again.

The information about custody rights in the Philippines has pointed me to some really useful information.. Thanks

Sorry to hi-jack the thread but CR001 mentioned something that I am going face as an issue. I read the guidance : A sponsoring parent (see SET7.2) must be able to show that he/she has been solely responsible for exercising parental care over the child for a substantial period.If the sponsoring paren...

CASA, Thanks for quick reply. I have seen the list of approved test centres and I contacted the one in Abu Dhabi where we live. They told me to contact the British Council as they are the ones who organise the test. On their website it says that she needs to do the Life Skills test to A1 for initial...

Which test does my non EU partner need to take for her VISA application for spouse VISA of UK Citizen? I know for initial application she needs to achieve A1 and for subsequent application A2... if she achieves A2 in her first test can this also be used for her Further Leave to Remain? We aren't pla...
