lol idiot-phone, not idiot!!

Hi, I agree with everything kmaxie18 said. My Vietnamese GF was turned down for a visitor visa because we did not prove the ongoing relationship. The fact is we did by sending in tons of pictures of us together, obviously in different parts of the World and Vietnam, but they said because the picture...

Hi, I posted a number before that rings the HO immigration switchboard, but they are useless. Does anyone have a name of someone in the HO I can use, a helpful person who is prepared to give some form of customer service, since they can't/ won't put through to the manager of the ECO's who make visa ...

Thanks Lady11. Did you get useful help, as I have paid for their assistance on the helpline and it was a total waste of time and money.

Hi, I am no expert, but my advice is show the bank statement with the income coming in each month as it will show the name of the company / organisation sending it. You can also send a letter stating the income is for freelance work he does for the company, if he does not have a contract of employme...

I'm looking for the Home Office, visa and immigration department.

Hi, It seems no one knows email address formats? Does anyone have another answered, by a person and not an automated voicemail, switchboard number instead then? I have 0207 035 4848, but they know nothing and can't give me a phone number for the person I know of, they can't put me through to a depar...

Does anyone have the format for email addresses to the HO? i.e. is it first name.last name@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk? It's not this one as I tried it and it does not work. I have the name of a contact who is the MP Account Management Team, who is looking into my case, but I can't call him as the switch ...

I am in contact with my MP, since I want to overturn a stupid decision, and it is my experience that the process is slow and frustrating. My MP wrote immediately to the HO after my contact, but the answer took 20 days, and had clearly not been considered properly, they just spouted what the ECO had ...

This might help someone, so I thought I'd post the link I found.

I meant Fake and not "bad quality"

Quote "In terms of proving you will marry, they are most likely looking for proof you have spoken to the registry office. You can call & book to give notice at the registry office & they will send you a confirmation email with all the relevant information. You may have to estimate the d...

Hi, it looks to me like you need a good solicitor to fix that. It is a very complicated situation that would need to be argued in a very precise way by a specialist.

Oh, and maybe if you have wedding ring/ engagement ring receipts, and call wedding venues and get some quotes, include those too.

Hi, My Fiance is Vietnamise and we are having a lot of trouble with the visa. We tried for the visitor marriage visa, and were turned down because they said we didn't prove she or I could support her visit. Utter rubbish, she showed her 6 months bank statements which have substantial savings, and I ...

Oh, and it's not possible to book a wedding in the UK without her having been here for 8 days, and we provided that document to them too.

Visa refused I have refused your application for a marriage visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements oi paragraph(s) V 6.3 of Appendix V. lmmigration Rules for Visitors because: o ln your application you state you are travelling to the UK for 6 months in order to marry, f...

Hi, We are still waiting to hear about the visa, I expect it will be a declined but we live in hope. However, I decided to do some research to see if there was anyway I could challenge an unfair decision, since the MVV decision is supposed to be un-challengeable. I thought though, that my human righ...

Andy, When I looked at this route, and being self employed for a long time, the advice I received from the solicitor was that I would need to send in my accounts for at least the last two years, however if you have only got 11 months, that is all you can provide, and the H/O will pro rata the amount...

Sorry, what I meant to say was..... The only differences would be the location of the marriage and that she would remain there until the spouse visa was granted.

Thanks for the reply CR001 You replied.. "Employment in home country, letter from employer granting time off work, family ties, social ties, financial ties, property ownership, savings etc etc" With the RCOS, there are clearly laid out conditions that need to be met to score points, which ...

Does anyone have any idea what the visa officials would accept as proof that someone intends to return home? It doesn't seem possible to me, that anyone can prove this. And do you agree that proving our relationship is real, and therefore the intent to marry, should be enough for the official to ass...

Lot's of good points. And thanks Casa, I think the visa is correct for our needs, but I just hope that we have convinced the person making the grant / not granted visa decision that she will return. She is very worried because she is giving up her job, and therefore can't show evidence that she has ...

Do you mean how long after we marry, will she return to her country for? Well, if we are granted this visa, then I will return with her at the end of the 6 months, and we will have another marriage ceremony over there for her family and then apply for her to come to the UK. I will return and wait. Y...

Yes, it is very stressful and costly, and it has to be said it is taking it's toll. Her company had agreed to move her to the UK office, and applied for the RCOS, she had 33 points, only to be the first month it went from 21 to 55. I re-read the visa description, and it doesn't say she isn't eligibl...
