Unfortunately, I could never guarantee anything 100 per cent. The worst case scenario is that they take offence at her attitude, and refuse on the grounds that she is untrustworthy and that granting her entry would be against the public good, or that they pick holes in something else...unfortunately...
VictoriaS, Thank you for your great bit of advice, so you are saying the moment I become a British National and my wife has her ILR she to can then become Naturalised, regardless of how long she has had her ILR? Fantastic!! Yepy Yepy!! Yep...as long as her husband is British, she has ILR and has be...
Student visas do carry the right of appeal at the moment...but not for long.
I don't quite understand why she is wanting a visa for another country if she is in her final year at Uni. Sounds strange to me, and I guess it will for the ECO or an immigration judge.
There can be exceptions, but they are few and far between. Do you think that there are any special circumstances? Do you have a partner in the UK? Children? Anything in your home country which may assist an application to stay on compassionate grounds?
It's even better than that! Once your wife gets her ILR, and you get your (horribly delayed!) British citizenship, your wife will no longer be bound by the rules which state that she has to wait 5 years + 12 months free from immigration control before she can apply for naturalisation. As she will th...
Victoria, it's great to have you aboard this board as well. Thank you! 1)If a non-EEA family member has been granted the Residence Card on the basis of being an unmarried partner, when can the application with the EEA4 be made? 3 years after the Card has been granted after accumulating a total of 5...
What are the exact dates of the visa and of her entry? If she was only one month late she may just get away with a ILR application. If not, then she can get a further period of leave for 2 years. She can apply either in the UK or the Philippines but it may be better for her to do it before she goes....
Absolutely. Though I was suggesting that the OP's wife naturalise, then the OP de-stalls (is that a word?) his registration application. Any children born to then will be BC's anyway, by virtue of his wife's status, even if born overseas. But I see what you mean. Is there a real advantage to the OP ...
Your friend has absolutely zero chance of successfully applying for ILR. There are numerous cases mentioned in this forum of people who have been denied ILR after 2 years on a spouse visa for having much less absences than your friend. It's been established in this forum that someone on a 2 year sp...
the option i think we're plumping for at the moment is that jo come to the uk for another two months or so (with a return ticket and a letter from her employer in seattle indicating she will start work late october / early november). During this time we will get all the paperwork together required ...
To answer what I think is your question - it doesn't matter if the two years living together spans two visas as long as they have been living together for the two years preceding the application. There can't be a significant gap.
If she admits to everything but refuses to name the employer to the Entry Clearance Officer, then I do not believe they can refuse to grant her entry because of that.
Afraid not. Your wife cannot get naturalised from within the UK until she has had ILR. She is going to be a bit stuck actually. Once you get naturalised, she is going to have to switch to being your spouse, which is going to put back her ILR by two years. Assuming your wife has also been in the UK f...
Since the OP has been working with the employer for some time legally, there is no way the HO can make a person umemployed by refusing a WP for the same position in the same organisation. Oh, they can and they do. I have known this for student visa holders who have been working part time then full ...
I have a limited company still from when I used it for contracting, I was thinking of investing some money, and this bit is quite plausible and realistic, starting a translation and interpreting business within my Ltd, employing my student gf as the translator cos: a: She's bloody good b: She was b...
Its my fourrth year now in UK and next year I am ready to apply for ILR Am I affected of new point system? I am confused bec some say NO some say YES Pls enlighten me bec I am really worried now Thanks We won't know for sure for some time, but it is unlikely that the government would change the rul...

Did your employer fill out an FLR application alongside your WP application to vary your leave?
The FLR rules were different back then - the fact of an outstanding work permit application would have conferred an extension of leave until a decision had been made.
The only way anyone can switch from visitor to student is if they are from a non-visa national country and if the course they intend doing is degree level or above - and even this measure is closing at the end of August.
assuming that the only reason for refusal was that they did not believe she intended to return home after her visit, then I would say her application for the fiancee visa stands a good chance of success based on the information you have given here.
Once you switch your status to having leave to remain as the spouse of an EEA national then you will have the same rights to work in the UK as your spouse does, for as long as she remains in the UK and as long as you remain married (though you may retain some rights if the situation changes). You wo...
You have been deeply, deeply unlucky. The answer is that even if you are approved for SEGS (or IGS) then you still run the risk of being refused for entry clearance. You'd have a good chance of winning an appeal but this may take some time. If you apply anyway, I suggest that you explain exactly wha...
