Thought I would update this post following outcome. ILR received in post yesterday, only about 1 month waiting time in total and the Christmas period was within that. So on this occassion at least it seems 8 months late application is acceptable - I hope this gives some encouragement to anyone else...
The visa is tied to the course and institution she chooses. academic and eng lang requirements requirements vary according to the course and institution so you/your fiance need to look at courses and instutions she is interested in. Currently you can study below degre level although there arw min st...
If they had tried to deliver the item it would say something to this effect 'we tried to delvier your item on 02.01.11 but there was no one availble to accept your item. The item has now been returned to the collection office for redelivery' Call the royal mail to ask where the item is. Not sure you...
Do you mean your husband has Indefinite Leave to Remain (PR is for EEA nationals and their family members)? If your husband is not British or an EU national then I am not sure that you qualify as a home student at present. Once you have ILR you may qualify as long as you get your ILR before the firs...
What is your nationality?
What is your spouse's nationality?
How long have you lived in the UK?
If you have lived in the UK for less than 3 years, where did you live before that?
You can switch from tier 2 to tier 1 as the main applicant in the UK. You can't apply for Tier 1 as the main applicant from abroad as this route is now closed. You can't switch to Tier 1 dependent in country. However you can apply for Tier 1 dependent from abroad because your partner is already here...
what is your status in the UK? What country is your husband from and how long has he overstayed for? What was his previous status in the UK? How long have you been together. Do you have any other children? If you answer these questions then people might be able to give you some further advice. Final...
it is a multiple entry visa, just like your student visa was. they don't expect you to be stuck here for the whole two years not even UKBA are that unreasonable!
the UKBA can and will raise new grounds in an appeal so as others have advised you should provide evidence to show that you have been living together for two years. As you have just been refused a visa to join your husband as his dependent they might not accept that you have an intention to return a...
you can certainly apply for the visa and then come back later. you don't need to enter the UK first and then leave to travel unless there are practical reasons why you want to come to the UK before you go travelling (to sort out accomodation etc). Have you already left the UK? if not is there any re...
Mulderpf has already given you the answer to your question and set it out clearly. there is no such thing as a 'switching category' switching just refers to applying for leave to remain in country from one category to another. What you have suggested is not possible. You can't get 'principle approva...
319C only allows applicants to swtich in country to a category of PBS dependents if they currently have leave as a PBS dependent or as a spouse/child etc under another category e.g. from Tier 4 dependent to PSW dependent or old style student dependent to Tier 2 dependent. (the exception is if the ma...
as long as it has a closing balance it should be OK. Some bank accounts just have the most recent balance which relates to the most recent transaction and a date of the statement. If this is the case then you can either put/take out £10 from your account and get a new statement or highlight the dat...
the postal address is not a requirement. This is what the guidance says: Personal bank or building society statements covering a consecutive 90 day period: The most recent statement must be dated no more than one calendar month before the date of application. The personal bank or building society st...
It's the same. The only difference is that indefinite leave to enter is issued from outside the UK and indefinite leave to remain is issued from within the UK.
