Re: Spouse visa appeal (article 8 human rights)

Borders, you are still arguing the same case, you have added no substantial reason why you should be given a visa. You are still in the same situation, and seem to be clutching at straws hoping that if you keep appealing, you will find a judge who will decide in your favour. How can you convince a j...

Re: Applying for a parent visa while in the process of negotiating divorce

I can only advise you to leave him but don't pay any of his expenses, open a new bank account and have your money go into that. He has asked you to leave the family home, so find a new place, and then leave and take your child with you. He would need to take it to court to get access to him/her and ...

He can't do that in the UK, he has no right to demand 95% of your salary or stop you from seeing your daughter. You are the mother and have more rights than him, especially if your child is young. How would he expect you to survive on 5% of what can't be a huge amount if you earn part time? Do you r...

Re: UK Standard Visitor visa refused for my dad

Your father has been turned down twice now and I would say he is unlikely to get a visa if you re-apply now, so applying again is a waste of money IMHO. My thoughts would be go for a PAP, do it yourself. Email them and insist they explain what information exactly do you have to provide for them to g...

Hi All, I am British, my wife is from Vietnam and is living with me in the UK on the first 2.5 years of a Spouse visa. We are thinking of going to Europe and arriving back in UK before Dec 31st this year. Currently, obviously I do not need any kind of visa, but does my wife if she is travelling with...

Re: EU family member deported from the airport

Once again Zerubable is the voice of reason. I don't think the OP is telling us everything, border control know their rights and responsibilities well, and would only have sent the OP back without thoroughly checking his story out, and being sure that their decision was the right one.

I think the rules say you must be able to show one year's trading at least, but someone else maybe able to tell you if you can have interim unaudited accounts done to add to your 6 months pay slips to demonstrate the required annual income of £18.6K assuming no kids involved. You need to show bank a...

Re: Spouse visa

you will need unaudited accounts. These will need to be done by an approved accountant and will cost about £470 or so to prepare, but you can then put them down as a tax deductible expense.

You can of course only get those done when you have completed a year of trading.

Re: Spouse visa appeal (article 8 human rights)

15 weeks was the amount of time usually given for cases that are not being sent to court to be heard by a judge, since there is a team set up by the HO to review cases quickly and try to stop them being escalated to court and thus free up judges time. But for cases where a judge is involved, it is f...

What chance did your lawyer give you of winning this case? Did he tell you that you had very good grounds for winning? Was he OISC approved, or did you find him in India and all he is doing is representing you so he can get paid, but really he knows you have little chance of success? Didn't your law...

Your hearing could take 6 months, could take a year. Covid will probably have added many weeks to the length of time before your case is heard.

Please proceed with absolute precaution and please don't let your soon to be Ex wife take you for a ride again. There is a really nice lady with good intentions out there for you, and she will come along, so don't look back. Onwards and upwards.

Re: General circumstances in my relationship for Fiancé visa application

If you go to her country and marry there, and then in a couple of years later move back to the UK, I think the process will be much easier to get her visa. Again, I stand to be corrected, but living together for two years almost means they can't refuse? I guess whether you take that route depends on...

She could also come over on a Marriage Visitor Visa, but she can only stay 6 months in total, and she would also have to leave before applying for a spouse visa, when she is back in the US.

Hi, Just of course be very careful that the marriage you have is recognised here in the UK, if you decide to go to her country that is.

Re: 2.5 year spouse visa extension requirements

Does the OP really need the A2 English certificate, since they expire after a period of time? But since this was used to get the spouse visa in the first place, surely the HO do not require proof that she has forgotten how to speak English, since she would have been using it daily, and for work?

Re: Fiancé visa application submission centre abroad

No Problem Jini,

I would also advise before you send in the application that you tell the board more about your circumstance, and explain what you are submitting to see if there is anything that is missed, or reason you would not qualify as it is very expensive to make a mistake.

THO.
