Ok, So looks like its Fiance Visa at 585 pounds and then FLR form at 395 or 595 pounds. Crazy as if getting married wasnt expensive enough. But I guess she is worth it and more. Is that the best way to go then? I guess getting married in India wont make a difference to the price or to making the pr...
Wow almost confused again but that link was really good. So apply for the fiance visa. Is that the 6 month one at 60 pounds or the settlement at 600 pounds. What is the FLR(M) and where is it. You wonderful people have cleared up in 2 mins what 2 days of internet research couldnt. Thankyou Unfortun...
I don't think VAF2 form stated on this link is the right form to fill Immigration2009. It is for Employment or UK ancestry, and access to a UK child doesn't fit that criteria. The form to fill is a normal Family Visitors visa with the additional required information, and he/ she will receive a 12 m...
[1] Not sure [2] Once you get your British passport, you are legally bound to hand your Indian passport over to Indian govt. - otherwise you can be prosecuted. It irrelevant whether you get a British passport or not, once you have attended the British citizenship ceremony you are now British and no...
Hi, I am British and I am just getting my evidence together for my fiancee application for my fiancee in Pakistan. I went to see a local immigration advisor today to enquire about accomodation reports but he doesn't do them. Whilst talking to him about fiancee visa application process, he said 3 th...
If you only have ILR than you have no choice but to travel on your Indian passport. I have received my Citizenship certificate i had my ceremony couple of days a ago But if you don't have a British passport, and need to travel to India, you can still use your Indian passport which has ILR! Besides,...
I think it is possible. The home office could have made a mistake. Unlikely but if they did make a mistake and grant him ILR after only two years here on a student visa I don't think he'd be wise to apply for British citizenship as they definately won't grant him that after only 3 years in the UK u...
Hi, I saw this information on Border Force Operations Manual Annex B - Special classes of Visitor section 7 where it says that it is acceptable for visitors to act as temporary child minders for relatives where the visitor is a close relative of the parent. Sanjeev I might be reading it wrong but i...
jas, I had a discussion with a few colleagues before on this. Some raised the question if the definition of manager is as below? 1. People manager, ie: having direct reports. 2. Technical manager, ie: IT manager with no direct reports. 3. Just a job title with the keyword "manager". We al...
I think you will have difficulty getting COA as normally to apply for COA you need to meet the following requirement. "I have been granted leave to enter or remain in the UK for more than 6 months and have at least 3 months of that leave still remaining." The best bet would be for her to r...
Just to get an idea...on a fiance visa if we get married in the UK lets say a month after we arrive i imagine we then have to apply for a spouse visa? And we would need to wait for that visa to be approved for him to be able to work? I can support both of us for a few months its no problem but i kn...
Has your partner got anything official to prove that he has been living at the same address as you for at least the last two years (eg bank statements)? If not then you really are wasting your time applying for a unmarried partner.
thx Chakku71 & djb - agreed if i travel after receiving certificate it could create issues when applying for OCI, so not worth taking that risk - my son was born before ILR so had to apply for BC after my ILR and he received the certificate recently. I will delay my ceremony until I am back but...
anyone had similar experience? also if i receive my BC certificate next week can i travel using my Indian passport next weekend as there isnt enough time to apply for indian visa? If you receive your BC certificate your Indian passport will no longer be valid, though ou are unlikely to have any pro...
Yes i understand that the Indian passport needs to be surrendered immediately. But with my current travel plans i cant really trust the Indian embassy to issue OCI in 2 weeks time. Has any one had come across similar situation, pls share your experiences As OFCHARITY has already said you will not b...

It does still require you to have close ties to Switzerland which I guess would be impossible to show if you have never lived there.

As she has only just left the UK after spending 5 months here there is little point in re-applying until next year.
What nationality are you? As certain nationalities do take longer. "Please note that for the Nationals of the following Countries the processing time will take 2 weeks: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan...
Hi, I will be completing 5 years next month working in UK and will be applying for Naturalisation (I already have ILR). While looking at the AN form, it ask for all the prevoius address in the last 5 years. When I landed in UK the first month accomodation was provided to me by my company in a hotel...
Hiya Tnanks for your reply. If that visa was issued as a multi enry visa, does that mean just to the country it was issued in, or could you go to that country for say weeks holiday and within a few months visit another country. Thankyou. As I previously said Schengen visas are valid for travel to a...
By my reckoning you will have to make at least 3 false declarations on the form (address history, current employer, and reasons for travelling outside the UK). Just consider this statement which is at the the top of the page containing the declaration that you will be signing. "WARNING: To give...
