Another question any idea of the cost for putting the visa into her new passport once she is back here?

Hi Not been on nhere for a while as we were all settled but the wifes passport expires next year and she can not renew here without being in employment. She is Ukrainian and they wont renew it without some documents from an employer. Now if she goes back and renews can she then return to Britain wit...

What does this have to do with immigration? I thought this was an immigration forum.

Without knowing the actual job you are going for I would say the degree is a higher qualification but is it the correct qualitfication for the job? The NVQ they are asking for may be slightly different field.

There is no comparison between a degree and an NVQ level 3. Level 3 is very basic and a practical qualification. What is the NVQ level 3 qualification you are comparing the degree to?

Can anyone advise of the likelyhood of getting a fiance visa before divorce is filed? There has been a slight delay and it now looks like I will be at the stage of a settlement agreement signed up and ready to file for divorce when I had planned to go to apply for the fiance visa. Please tell me if ...

Basically they are looking for photos, details of visits you have made to your partner and your partner to you. Any proof of contact like phone bills emails etc. Anything that shows you have been together and/or been in contact with each other. With regard the length of time it varies between the di...

Its not so much the length of time you have been together but more the amount of time you have spent with each other. In my opinion as long as you can prove a relationship there should not be any problems with only being together for 7 months. There is nothing in the rules that states you should hav...

I notice from the Uk visas website that you can apply for a fiance visa before your divorce is fully sorted and was wondering whether anyone has experience of this. The information I have read is at http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=103...

Ariadne Thanks for the reply and information, very much appreciatted and no its not too late we are still looking for work and all information we can get is helpful. I looked at the teaching courses before and that is an option but the course starts in September so it would be a long wait. Will have...

A couple of quick questions for members who have experience of Fiance visa applications. 1. I am looking at applying for a Fiance Visa early in the new year for my girlfriend in Ukraine to come to live with me in Scotland, how long does it normally take for this to go through the system and an answe...

Thanks for the reply Steve. I know it will be difficult, she is actually a teacher but that is even harder to get work in as you seem to need specific training to teach in Scotland. With regard Russians and Ukrainians working here if you look at the stats from the government website half of the work...

Speaking from personal experience as I am still not divorced and have a Ukrainian girlfriend that has been issued a vivit visa the fact you are not divorced will not influence things at all. If you wanted a fiance visa that would be different though. On the question of her not being in employment at...

Good morning, I am trying to find out information about translation/interpretting work in Scotland for my girlfriend. She is Ukrainian and speaks English and German as well as her native languages i.e Russian and Ukrainian. She studied english and german at university. Does anybody have any links to...

Thanks for the reply Pipi. She already has a visit visa and has been here once and comes back in 10 days time. I want her to be able to stay for longer though and can't go down the route of fiance visa at the moment. The student visa does look like the best option though, just unfortuanate the teach...

Thanks for the reply. She is a Ukraine national. I have looked at the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme but unfortuanately she does not have the work experience or the past earnings to get enough points to qualify.

I am after a bit of advice as to options for some one from the Ukraine to come to the UK for work or study. The person in question is an English/German teacher in Ukraine. What are the possibilities for her to get a visa to come to the UK to either study to register for teaching in Britain or to obt...
