Yes I took the appointment.
Have to cancel trip to Disneyland Paris because there are no appointments left. i had previously booked one for the 20th.
Oh well!

Anyone been up there today? I was! Got there an hour early just to be sure presented myself at the correct time. Checked in. Sat down for 5min. Called into a booth and nicely told that "Our computers are down so we are not processing any applications today. Next available appointment is 24July ...

I re-entered UK on a spouse visa on 12/08/07 so the earliest I can apply for ILR is 15/07/09 (I think). MY QUANDRY: My in-laws surprised us with a visit to France on 13/08/09, all booked and fully paid for. NOW I can't apply for a French visa unless I have atleast three months leave to remain in thi...

Perhaps, you have entry stamps for whichever country you visited?

Zimbabwe is on the list too.

Thanks Sakura, we were not married when he was born. I first met my wife when he was 8 weeks old. He was born in the UK and subsequently has a british birth certificate. I am hopeful that Archigabe is correct by suggesting that he can claim a british passport by descent. Thanks to you both The reall...

Thanks Sakura, the eldest child is a Zimbabwean - in that he was 'conceived' in Zimbabwe. When my wife travelled to the UK she was unaware she was 2 months pregnant. He was born in the UK and has not left the UK since - does this mean he needs a visa? - sorry, quite naive about the process. My wife ...

Hello, the hardest thing I have ever done in my life was to leave my wife and 2 Yr old daughter at Heathrow airport yesturday (June 19th) destination Zimbabwe - reason - (application for spousal visa). I have stayed in the UK with our 2 other children (4Yrs and 5Yrs) for schooling/work reasons. The ...

The law changed last year and only the step parent needs to adopt. Child is six. My family live in the same neighbourhood as my ex. There are no extra charges by council Child Care Handbook Jan/2006 1.Under the Adoption and Children Actstep parents can now make a single application to adopt the birt...

No they do not charge cos they are assessing my husband (british) only,as he is the only adopter, not me.

With regards to step-parent adoption, it does not cost that much. Just the court costs which are under £300 last time I checked. There are no other costs involved. We were well into it till they decided that my lack of status amounted to an unstable family but they would proceed once my immigation ...

I can't take him as I am afraid I will face problems with me ex and his family. I have a letter of conset from him saying he does not object to my husband adopting the child. Would this be possible-: -make my application from Africa, on my own. -when that's sorted, come back to UK and go thruogh the...

1. yes meant his passport 2.Due to lost documents and other problems, I overstayed so child has no status really. Would it be an in-country or out of country application, for the child? I was never married to the father, so no custody agreements and he is not included on the birth certificate. Thank...

Any help would be appreciated. I am married to a British citizen and going to my home country to make an EC application (spouse visa) in Africa. Thanks to this forum, we have hopefully gathered all the evidence we need and we are all set. Just have a few questions: 1.Will the BHC accept the original...
