Hi

Could anyone advise me if travellers cheques can be used as supporting evidence of us being able to support ourselves, if submitted with the application along with bank statements?

Thanks

Thanks for that info Jeff. Like I said I will not be falsifying any information. The risk is way too great.

Once again, thanks alot.

Jeff, out of curiosity, how would the home office be able to tell that one had overstayed if a new passport is used, and there is not record as to when the person actually left the UK? I am not familiar with the abbreviations WI and PNC? (Please note that I AM going to apply in the honest way, as I ...

Jeff, thanks for that very thorough response. As stated in the question, I was skeptical about using a new passport for the very same reasons you have put forward. Just thought to ask to get a second opinion.

Thanks anyway.

Hi

I spoke to someone earlier on this week and they suggested that I should try getting a new passport and applying for my spousal visa using it. However I am a bit skeptical. Can anyone advise whether this is a good idea or not?


Bristol, what is happening with your situation?

Thanks alot, John. You have been a great help. One other question. We have copies of our marriage certificate, that were certified by a commisioner of oaths. However we were not given the originals, as the marriage officer said he had to hand the originals to the relevant department (I am assuming t...

Thanks for the clarification John. My husband earns, in total, about GBP 1800. His main expenses are as follows:- Rent GBP 575 Digital TV GBP 20 Council Tax GBP 100 Groceries and other expenses GBP 200 That leaves about GBP 900. So I would say we have a disposable income ranging between GBP 600-900.

Can nobody give me any advice with regards to my application? Please, I am getting pretty nervous.

Thanks

Well, the tenancy agreement shows how many rooms there are. It is a one double bedroom flat. We dont have any children so it is just going to be the two of us living in the flat. Getting the letter from the landlord to say its ok for me to live at this address shouldnt be a problem as he has express...

Thanks for the response, John. We have:- -My husbands bank statements since November 2006 -A letter from his employer, stating when he started work, his monthly salary, and that he is employed full time and on a permanent basis. -Pictures of us together -Letters, emails and mobile phone bills -Tenan...

Jeff and John, I really value your input and would like to know if you could comment on my situation? My husband is British by birth but grew up outside of the UK. We went to school together and I have known him since primary school. We started our relationship in 2002 and he left to start a life in...

'Logically, for one example, if you married after your overstay but had never applied for a finace visa, as an immigration officer I would pretty much conclude that this was a marriage of convenience . ' Saying this, there are quite a few posts that talk about this route being costly, in that after...

I see. Thanks for the clarification, ilm.

John,

I thought the fact that one overstayed would have no bearing on the decision?

Hi Sorry to hear about your refusal. It has actually shaken me now coz I was planning on putting my application in in about 4 weeks (mid June). From the posts on this site, I was under the impression that the fact that someone overstayed would have no bearing on the decision for a spousal visa? What...

Hi First of all I would like to say this is a GREAT site full of so much invaluable information. I am currently in the process of preparing an application for a settlement visa.
