Mike, Sorry to hear of your problems. However, I can assure you that six hours is not long for a decision to be made on a case. Especially if it happened to be a busy day. Often the IO has to undertake a lot of enquiries including interviews. In fact you and your g/f should count yourselves lucky th...

The poster has been given, what we in the trade call, a coded landing as opposed to a straightforward code 5N. What this does is alert the next IO who comes across the poster that there were some doubts about his intended visit, but these were not sufficient to lead to an outright refusal. The IO wi...

A few questions Berlingoodman,

1. What was the date in April of your refusal of entry.
2. When you were given the refusal of entry notice was mention made of a 10 year ban.
3. Did you at any time attempt to conceal the real reason for your entry to the UK in April or in anyway attempt deception.

A lot of IOs are not actually aware of the rule which exempts EEA FP holders from the landing card requirement. If you consider filling the card particularly onerous then you might wish to argue the point with an ignorant IO. However, you might be delayed until you prove your point, but if you love ...

Basically I will be entering the US under the visa waiver scheme, but with complete honesty, I will state that I am intending to marry, but not to remain. That's a silly thing to do. You are under no obligation to tell them anything unless they ask you (if you are not planning to do something illeg...

aranjan, Simply put, you have one of two choices. Either you get the visa for your child in the UK before you leave or you get the visa in India before your child attempts to come back to the uk. If you do neither, then the chances are your child will not even be allowed on the plane in India unless...

Is the card issued by the commune sufficient Yes, it acts as a Schengen Visa (and should also act as a visa for the UK and Ireland, though they currently refuse to accept them as such) and when presented with her passport will allow her in and out of the Schengen States. Point of correction, an EU ...

Aplmac, I'M afraid your imagination is doing some overtime. Passports are swiped for identification purposes and validity. No record is kept of travel history, to do so with other jurisdictions like Trinidad would be a breach of the DPA(DATA PROTECTION ACT) In addition,such info would be far from re...

A visit visa does NOT constitute or confer continuing leave.

It does if issued for more than 6 months I believe.

Jes2jes

Maximum period for a visit is 6 months, so any leave granted for more than six months would not be a visit.

The long and short answer to your query is: NO.

Mr Rusty,

A visit visa does NOT constitute or confer continuing leave.

Hungary is an EU member, so as a Hungarian national you have the right of residence in the UK independent of your ex-husband.

What exactly is the problem you have?

The fact that your friend received a letter from the HO requesting he make a voluntary departure is sugestive of the fact that a negative decision has already been made on his asylum claim. HO will not ask some one to make a vol dep if there is still a claim outstanding. For what ever reason he does...

Rubbish, course he will he is presenting a valid visa.
Explain to us on what ground/s he will be refused entry.

Anyone who has continuing leave in the UK, that is leave to enter/remain for more than six months is certainly not required to have a return ticket.
In fact, having a return ticket is not even a condition of entry as a visitor.

Other important factors to consider before she thinks of coming back so soon are; (1)what are her circumstances in Brazil? (2) Does she work? (3)Does she have a reason/reasons to return to Brazil at the end of her visit to the UK? (4) An IO would also be most interested in knowing what she was doing...

I would have thought grandparents coming to see their grandchild and even helping out with childcare for a short period is as good a reason as any to pay a visit.

Personally I think the poster should have mentioned this in his first application.

. Were your passports scanned at any point? If yes, there is an electronic record. There are also the flight records. Even when passports are scanned there is no electric record kept by immigration. A passport can be scanned at the airport for any number of reasons making any such record unreliable...

If you no longer wish to be with this man all you have to do is inform the home office that you and him are now separated, that your marriage no longer subsists and you are withdrawing support for any future applications for leave to remain he may make. When it comes to him renewing his visa in Octo...

Is your name really Jon Thomas or you are having a laugh?

It is not as simple as that. In practice you must not wok more than 12 months in the 24 month period. You can break it up however you like. So for example you may wish to work the initial two months and then not work again for several months and then go back to work. So long as you don't exceed 12 m...

Thanks for your prompt reply Nowty. Appreciated. I will look at your previous posts to see your story about the student visa and post again if I have any follow on questions. Hope that's OK, l never thought this would all be so complicated! As a non-visa national your girlfriend does not require an...

Never heard of that. From my personal experience, I can definitely say that The Netherlands, the UK and Sweden do not require this. I am being a non-EU citizen, have been passing through airports in Amsterdam and Stockholm before catching a connecting flight without having any Schengen visa at all....

The working holiday visa applies ONLY to commonwealth countries. As a US national your girlfriend would not qualify. Are you quite sure it was a WH visa she applied for?

Dawie is spot on, can't provide an official link but take it from an "insider."
