Visitors to the UK from the US do not have to have a visa according to what I have been reading. There is a cap on absolubt stay of 6 months. I have a friend in the US who wants to come over to the UK and have a holiday with me for 2 months. What happens or what is the process that we have to follow...

how do I go about getting documents, specifically birth certificates, firstly translated into spanish and then attested in
a) the uk
b) USA

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Does anyone have any further thoughts?
Its only 6 months till we go away together and this paperwork thing is really stressful

Thanks ILM. Im actually basing much of my application on your sticky so your advice is indeed apriciated. 1) Yes it is her money. The idea of putting it into a joint account was more about proving that the marriage was subsisting. I should have made that clear. a)By demonstrating it was really avali...

Hi, my American girlfriend and I (british) intend to marry towards the end of the year in Mexico and spend 6 months together out there as "tourists" living as a newly married couple. We intend to file for a spouse visa. I am currently a student and of course have little or no money. Neithe...

3) Obviously u know the details more than us, but it does sound like she killed someone and you think that it's somehow a good thing and should aid her visa app? Sorry, don't understand that one. Yes, you are correct that she did indeed kill someone. I do not think this is a good thing at all. Save...

The core requiremets are : - you have met - you intend to get married withion the validity of her fiancee visa - you can suport yoruself and your dependant without recourse to public funds - you have sufficient accomodation - Accomodation poses no issues. - Presumably intention to marry could be co...

We began to have a serious relationship, all be it online, around 18 months or so ago. We have as yet to meet. However, I have scores o...
