Hi,

Yes I married my wife in another country and were then issued with a spouse visa I was under the assumption that once in the UK we would have to marry here too... I guess not then..

Hi,

Apologies I should have been more clear, my wife who I married in another country is now in the UK after being granted a spouse visa for two years.

I want to marry her in the UK so we can legally be husband and wife in the UK......

Hi, My wife was recently granted a two year "spouse visa" just thinking ahead before the two years ends am I right in assuming that she needs to apply for ILR and the form we would fill out is form set(m)? In addition this are there any formalaties we need to complete in regard to getting ...

My wifes visa which was submitted in ISB took around 10 weeks, it depends on how complex the case is\work load @ the BHC...

Good luck

Fiza,

Try ringing them and also emailing the HIGH COMMISSION.

Make sure in the subject line you write FAO ENTRY CLEARANCE MANAGER.

I did this and got a reply within 24 hours.....

Just to let you guys\girls know that my wife got her Visa on Friday 11th May we applied on February 21st so all in all in too less than 12 weeks. :D Just to recap I submitted the following evidence:- Employment letter Pay Slips - 1 YEAR P60 Bank Statement - current account Bank Statement - savings a...

Hi,

Well I had this too, I was advised to create a document outlining the following for each person in my immediate family (I.E. MUM, BRO, SISTER)

NAME
DOB
OCCUPATION
ADDRESS
RELATIONSHIP

Thats all you need to do for each family member...

Well if you submitted the application to the high commission then you may want to try emailing\ringing them. I tried emailing them but no answer then I emailed again but with the following SUBJECT heading: FAO ENTRY CLEARANCE MANAGER I then got a reply the next day, the email was from @fco.gov.uk (U...

If you are applying in ISB I have heard they are not accepting applications until this Thursday...

Yeah its bloody annoying they don't even answer emails, I think they need to following a set of CONCRETE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES!

Hi Fiza,

My wife applied nearly 9 weeks ago in ISB and no news yet - I guess no news is good news eh?

WOW that was less than a month! Well done!

Still waiting for news on my wifes - applied FEB 21st IN ISB.

I dont think you need to, TBH.

It would be advisable to get a letter of consent from your parents, i.e something that says they would happy for you and your spouse to live in the house. Obviously you would also need to consider overcrowding issues and it would be in your best interest to prove that the property will not be overcr...

Brit Chick how many people do you know who have been interviewed.....

Well that's typical of the bureaucracy in the BHC, and shows how incompetent the staff are - they cannot even get a simple detail correct! As far as I am concerned no signatures are required as it is cearly stated in the DSP - if my wife is called for a interview I will make sure she has a copy of t...

Hi,

It was before.

Let us know what they say please.

Thanks!

Hi, This maybe of interest:- http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1035898657472#point%20ten In particular consider the following paragraph regarding sponsorship undertaking:- The ECO should complete the certification on the form, keep a co...

Now that is confusing, my wife originally submitted her application along with all evidence but without the sponroship undertaking and the people at this Gerry place said that we need the sponsorship undertaking. I then faxed it over to her and they took the complete application back for submission ...

HI,

No, as far as I am aware the second page is signed at the BHC they accepted ours without me\anyone\solicitor signing it.

Hi,

Let me get this straight, is your Husband in the UK and you are in another country?

If so then it should be ok, I faxed my undertaking form over, my wife is in Pakistan and I am in the UK.....

Hi, My wife was asked to get me to fill this form too, she was told it was on the BHC website but I was unable to find it for the life of me! It does actuallly state on the BHC website (ISB) that it is not required but the fedex guys insisted that it was important, despite the fact I paid a solicito...

Hi,

Well I can only tell you what I think, and that is they have gone through the application and feel there is a need to speak to your wife, am sure they just want to confirm things and once confirmed they will most probably issue her with the visa.

Don't worry

Well that was good of them to reply to your correspondence - some don't bother!

Good luck!

Cool, that is really quick and efficient of them, I wish ISB BHC is as quick - keep us posted and good luck.
