Thank you very much...

Congrats, wish you all the best What were the questions that were asked about your Spouse They asked me when we met, when we met in person, what his job is and to see his work contract (suprisingly not his payslips), how long he has been in the UK (he is Australian with Right of Abode) and to see o...

Spousal Visa done in one day, plus a small SNAFU regarding husbands Right of Abode. But got the call today from the Los Angeles consulate and they are sending my visa via FedEx. Should get it tomorrow. All I can say is read things very carefully. Have your papers in order and easy to find. (Tabs wor...

He was not sure if he wanted to register as a British Citizen, but has recently decided to go ahead with it. Is he going to register as a British citizen based on his mother, or apply for naturalisation based on his residence in the UK? One difference is that naturalisation makes him British "...

His mother is British born and he was born 1972 in Australia, qualifying his ROA. Firstly, a person who "will be admitted for settlement in the UK when arriving there, and intends permanent settlement in the United Kingdom." is eligible to sponsor for a spouse visa. This comes straight fr...

Walked into Los Angeles today with all my carefully organized documents (and I cannot emphasise organization is essential!) Handed over my passport, his passport, marriage cert, divorce decree and the other requested things. She hunted around his passport and said "where is his evidence of res...

I am trying to enjoy it... Nerve wracking, but with all the things we have going for us, Him having a job, our own flat with both our names on it and my substantial bank amount, I am sure I can walk into LA and walk out visa in hand.
Thanks for the reassurance.

Sorry for the confusion in my post. I am very wound up about not just this visa thing, but other things too. I was very tired when I wrote my post. What I am worried about is the wording. I must be reading it wrong to mean that since we got married (in the US) and then I entered the UK as a visitor ...

I was trying to get more info to make sure we had all we needed and came across this: 278. Nothing in these Rules shall be construed as allowing a person to be granted entry clearance, leave to enter, leave to remain or variation of leave as the spouse of a man or woman (the sponsor) if: (i) his or ...

My husband called today and his old flatmate was wise enough to keep all these things for him.
We are well on our way to me getting my visa. Thanks! Will be reading more and more as I make my compilations.

I sent my beloved home to England today after him taking an emergency 3 month hiatus because I was in the hospital, being carful not to overstay his visitor visa here in the States. We originally meant to begin the process of going through the US visa process but a month ago decided that because his...
