The problem is we didn't realize he had to leave, and now we don't have the money and he's now an over stayer. So yeah.. one big mess.. but then that's nothing new, it's been one big mess for a long time.
I don't think that he can send passport from the UK to the USA to get it endorsed . As he has a child, he may argue that it's disproportionate for him to return to the USA to get the spouse visa endorsed. However, then they may grant him discretionary leave instead of FLR(M) (see case laws on 284 a...
hi Mags, so can you clarify a bit, you guys applied for the spouse visa even though your partner was in the UK on a visitors visa? Hello. No, he applied for the spouse visa from the US and was refused. While waiting on the appeal coming up, he came over here on a visitors visa and was here when his...
Hello again :) so after a long 9 months, he won the appeal :) Wasn't too bad because he's been here for the last 5 and a half months on a visitors visa. The problem with that is he's to send his passport to New York to get it stamped, will he need to travel back to the US, or can he send it from her...
"Exercise the right of access to a child" OMG, why werent we told about this Visa, by anyone!!. Our own fault for listening to someone on a forum. Prolly just wasted over a thousand dollars applying for the wrong visa. Do they do refunds? :( Ohh I hope to god everything works out, I am tru...
Hello, hope I make sense, im in a bit of an emotional state right now. My husbands UK spouse visa has just refused, or 'unsuccessful' rather, we just got the email 30 mins ago and so werent expecting this.. thats the worst part, were in total shock. We have been married 3 years and have 3 small chil...
Thanks guys! I really don't think we could afford a lawyer, well.. I know we couldn't.. so that's out. I just cannot believe the amount of time it takes.. this is such a nightmare.. totally puts you off from even trying :( And yes, I do have a criminal record from my younger days :( nothing too seri...
I'm looking to move over to the states with my family, my husband is an American citizen living in the UK on a spouse visa, we have been married two years and have two kids together. From what I can gather it's a complicated procedure (major sore head!) I was looking to hear from people who have bee...
Plenty more forms for US immigration too I'm afraid and a lot of dollars also. The US immigration process is tougher too in my book having seen some of my friends go through it. *Big sigh* I know, I know.. and it's something I'm totally clueless about right now. We were married in America, would th...
Well, the plan has taken a big u-turn. We wanted to move over to the States, just isn't working for us here in Scotland.. so instead of wasting more money here.. he's just going back :( He has work over there with his father and although it may take months, I'll eventually join him.. ugh.. I'm going...
Hmm.. no he hasn't, I didn't realize he had to. So we wouldn't have been able to apply for settlement anyway.. Well, we are going to try and raise the money for the extension through family and possible a loan, which isn't ideal because that means he still can't claim for his children and if granted...
Why are you not claiming Child Benefit? And the Tax Credits claim, please confirm that is in joint names of you and your husband. Housing costs? Are you renting? Claiming Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit? Yeah, I get child benefit for both kids John and all the benefits are in my name. We li...
Income support and tax credits. It's not looking good, and me at my worst I've left it all to the last minute :( we are stuck in between a rock and a hard place, because if he has to go back to the States, we don't even have money for a ticket, but at the same time don't have money for him to stay. ...
It's £820 now... Baby makes no difference I'm afraid. There's no free way, the Family Reunion thing i think is for asylum seekers, nice isn't it? Options are; 1. bite the bullet. 2. extend the spouse visa, only puts off the inevitable tho. 3. relocate to Europe, exercise a treaty right by doing so...
Ok, here goes.. My husband (I'm a UK citizen, he's American) is over in the UK on a spouse visa, which ends on the first of May 2010. He has been out of work for several months and unable to claim any benefits, so needless to say, we are totally skint. I believe the settlement costs £750? and we ju...
Thanks Wanderer, the cheapest quote we got was over 300 pounds per month.. its crazy. Someone on another site recommended Clements International, they have a fixed price and give you insurance anywhere in the world, which is pretty cool. Here's the link for anyone that wants cheap insurance https://...
Hiya all! My husband has just arrived in the UK, he has a 2 year spouse visa and is looking to buy a car, in the ope it'll make his chances of getting a job easier. He holds a US driving license, is that valid in the UK? If so, how does it work with insurance.. would that make the insurance more exp...
It didn't affect my application, I have 0 funds or savings and I'm on income support. My husbands spouse visa was granted within two weeks, no questions asked.
My husband has just received his UK spouse visa, he is a USC. I'm on income support and have NO savings, but they looked past that, so i wouldn't worry about little details like being overdrawn. Good luck!
Hiya all, just to let you know my hubby got his visa!! :D He applied and it was processed and sent out to him within two weeks! The one thing I was worried about was the fact that I'm on benefits and don't work, but they looked past that, which is great! Thanks for the advice and good luck to all wh...
Only you can sponsor ur husband, no alternative. I think you'll have to find a job after the birth to show some income, look at it from the ECO's view; lone parent not working bringing over someone else who is not working... Yes, that's the plan.. but I'm worried they wont take that into account at...
Hi all, I'm looking for a wee bit advice regarding my husbands visa. I'm a Uk citizen and my hubby is an US citizen, I am 6 months pregnant and recently flew over to the US to get married, so I'm now back in the Uk and he's over there getting ready to send all the documents to the Embassy. So I'm se...
