Hi Casa - this is Josi's husband here - she's currently at work so i'm on visa duty :lol: Ok - so the business is Limited, i think i receive dividends as a director - although my brother (the other director) generally deals with the accounting issues. We're still in the early stages of setting up th...

that's great vinny, thanks for your help.

vinny - i'm staggered by your knowledge and philanthropism! thankyou so much!! reading through some of the stuff you've linked in your post i see that we don't necessarily need our own house (i.e. we can be living in a shared accomodation if there is sufficient room, we may have to live with my pare...

hi, so glad this board is still going strong - such a great resource!! I have a few queries regarding my wife's UK visa. My wife and I have been living together in the UK for almost two years now, so she is due to go through the process for ILR (i am a UK citizen). We were planning to stay in the UK...

thanks very much vinny

Hiya, I'm back again after this board was remarkably helpful in helping me and my wife succesfully apply for a spousal LTR visa in november 07. I believe i said thanks when we got that, but thanks again regardless! So we're starting to think about the next stage of our visa negotiations, and after a...

just wondered if anyone had any further info on this?

cheers!

for information: We managed the mission impossible and flew to LA (i was on a visitors visa) and then got married in Vegas. We could have married in California, which we would have preferred, but it takes at least two weeks for the marriage certificate to come through, and we only had three weeks fo...

for information: we used Ambassador Passport Services on Wiltshire Boulevard, Santa Monica LA. They were excellent - kind of expensive, but we had the visa in one day! http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&q=visa+office&near=Santa+Monica,+CA&fb=1&hl=en...

hi there yankee girl - i think i spoke to you before we got married actually. thanks very much for your help - it made everything a lot easier. come to think of it i should update that thread for people in a similar situation. we got married in mid november, got a visa and entered immediately after ...

Hiya, I'm back in the land of immigration quandries. Ah the joys. So my wife and I got married in November last year. She is a US citizen and has leave to remain in the UK on a spousal visa. Now as I understand it, there's a time limit on the amount of time she can spend out of the UK before we conv...

am in LA now, married and just about to submit the application so thought i'd give this a quick bump just in case anyone can help!

thanks

Hiya, My spouse and I are about to submit a visa application in LA. I was hoping to get a recommendation for a courier in this area that can submit the application for us, since embassies in the US are no longer taking in-person appointments. There is a list on the embassy website - has anyone had e...

In fact I would rather trust the BIA then Ukvisas!

BIA?

very glad i found this! thanks John - this place is a wonderful resource! just to note: New visa application forms (VAFs) will be introduced worldwide on 29 October. From 29 October 2007 all visa applicants will need to use these new, improved forms to make an application. i think the new forms are ...

cool - will do!

thanks for the replys everyone - this board is a godsend!

hi christophe.

yeah i'm in the uk - i was wondering whether the IAS would have any solicitors that could certify the copies for me for free?

a little cheeky i know but money's kind of thin on the ground at the moment

Hi Everyone,

Was just hoping somebody could tell me what the best way to get a certified copy of my passport for my wife's visa application would be?

Thanks a lot!

Dan & Jo

Hi Again, Well, i am about to head off to the USA to try to perform something of a mission impossible - get married and get a visa within 3 weeks! I am just putting together all the necessary supporting documentation for the application, and was hoping that someone with experience of a successfull v...

hello again everyone! the time draws near so i'm in the process of sorting out the finer details of our plan. Jo arrives in the UK in early September and we want to make sure she can gain entry so we're gonna buy some return to tickets to the USA for Jo to show the guys at immigration on entry. in o...

great!

well i guess that means we're about good to go.

thanks everyone for your help.

Dan & Jo

jo has a one way ticket to the uk on september 4th. Right. Then I can tell you straight away that if she tries to enter as a visitor she is more than likely going to be refused. Immigration are not likely to grant entry as a visitor to a girl with a boyfriend int he UK and no return ticket. I think...

Ball is right, it varies from state to state (sometimes even county to county). In NYC, all hubby and I needed were our passports to apply for the marriage license. We got married 24 hours later in City Hall in Manhattan and received the marriage certificate immediately after the ceremony. We broug...

again, thanks for your posts - i'm really staggered by the positive response! hi Dan, A British friend's brother married his American wife earlier this year. They decided after researching all the options that it was easiest for the guy to travel to the US and marry the American in an American civil...
