Thanks for the reply. My immediate concern is not whether immigration will allow her to stay or not as thats out of my hands to an extent but just the fact that i've now had to go thro' all thats happenned this past week-end based on allegations she has made against me and my parents. How she intend...

Hi all. Just another update and some advise required. Since my last update when my wife had been taken away for threats made by her supposed family members in Bristol I had not heard a thing from them until this past Saturday. The police called round and asked me to come in on the Sunday. I got ther...

Hi all. But late with the update but had some serious pc problems (IT kind not the other) MY solicitor contacted the police to get the addrees for my ex as they had it. Initially they had told me they could not give it to me but would give it to my appointed solicitor. Now there saying as its a civi...

I'm feeling better but only because my parents feel safer. I was more worried about them. As for my solicitor, I believe the 1st part was to establish her address inorder that we can serve her. The police have this address but were not able to supply it to me directly but should be able to hand this...

Another update: Returned the completed contract and paid my fee to the solicitor but heard nothing since. Visa enquiry: I notified the HO and they responded requesting more details which I submitted but again I've heard nothing since. They do know we are nologner together and that I plan to divorce ...

Bit of a delay with my update as nothing has happenned. I had my initial consultation with my solicitor. I've been waiting pretty much for him to send me his contract. (just ovre two weeks). Basically it confirms what we discused, the advise he gave me and his costs. I now have to sign and return th...

Hope all turns out well for you johnboy096. The only advice i can give which has been given to me is to move on. Easier said than done but you have to keep looking forward. You it seems are atleast doing this. I feel my ex will go the same way and try to disappear once it dawns on her she has no way...

@Martha - Don't be fooled. Yes I got married in Pakistan and only had a ceremony take place there. There was no need to have one here as they had accepted the union over there. Regards it being easier to divorce over there, as we know where her family lives it would be easier to find her. I know my ...

Well this morning I got a phone call from F&CO confirming receipt of my letter. They asked if anything had changed since she had been taken away and also to request another letter but more to the point. My previous letter was several pages and whilst i probably did state all the facts they neede...

Well I finally had my first appointment with the solicitor. Talked mostly about the options I have available and route for probable divorce, ie UB. I explained my situ, even gave him a draft of my letter to immigration at Croydon which had the full story. Talked about the death threats but he said t...

Back home there was a letter from my solicitor. He was confirming my appointment and stating some details. He has only asked me to bring proof of id (passport) and any evidence which might support my case for legal aid if I believe I qualify. ie wages slips, P60, mortgage payemtns, child care costs ...

I had sorted out my two letters and made copies of my passport and paperwork. My father will be posting them both tomorrow recorded delivery. I also found a solictor (recommended from a family friend) but he cannot see me till next Monday. They are sending me a letter to confirm and also what paperw...

Cheers for the advise vinay ands support martha. The police only took my mothers statement and didn't bother with my fatehr despite them also receiving a threat. On the way out they did say they shall call the Bristol mob and tell them not to call us anymore and also to phone 999 should any stranger...

Well its 14.20pm. The police arrived around 1.25 and having had a brief chat with me whilst they waited for the translator to arrive they are now taking my mothers statement. They will then take my fathers. There are two officers present (non seen either until today) but the male officer did say the...

Thanks Martha. The police officer returned with two of the Bristol contingent at 10.30pm. He came to the door first and instructed me, my mother and father to go to the backroom and he then escorted one of the two into the house and upto her room. Not sure obviously what was said and whether she nee...

your case is classified as family matters nothing to do with immigration i know someone with similar story but the family judge said : she is not your slave the fact that she is waiting for a visa does not give you the right to interfer in her immigration file specially if the wife claims you are v...

My apologies for the rather long post, but thanks all for the advise and concern. Current update. As i had trouble calling the officer who had visited on his number and the fact nobody had even called having reported the death threats made on us, I decided to ring the police station the officer had ...

Thanks for the advise Emma. We do not have any joint accounts and any heirlooms i had in our room, I'd already safely moved away. I don't have any jewelery as such other than my watch. I'm pretty much in agreement that her advisors/she is trying the d/v route. i've called my phone provider who have ...

It gets better and better. My father took a phone call from this other family last night. They asked to confirm whether the police had been round and whether they could speak to her (spouse). My father simply said we'd told the police everything they wanted to know and not to keep calling us. The ot...

Cheers for the response both. Never thought that I would have to seek out a forum like this but hard as it is I'm glad it exists. Suprise suprise. Within I return home from work today and literally in five minutes of my arrival there's a knock at the door and its a PC. He had received a call stating...

Hi. My wife was granted a spouse visa for 2yrs. Its not due to expire till October of this year (2008) Essentially over a period of time I have found out that she has used me to gain entry to the UK. I obviously cannot evict here as my visa conditions were to provide home/expenditure etc. I genuinel...
