What he means is that if someone walked into your HR department today and said 'how much does prawin2506 earn?' - they'd answer with a figure above £18,600.

Maybe is the short answer. If they are satisfied enough with his position - they may just let it go through - if they have any doubts about him - the lack of financial evidence from yourself would probably push the decision to a no. What you don't say in your letter is how you know him, how you met ...

EU Citizens aren't considered settled in the UK until they have been here 5 years.

However, you don't need to apply for a UK visa for them - you can apply via the EEA family permit: https://www.gov.uk/family-permit

The HO will accept bank statements which are stamped by the bank - but be aware that a lot of banks won't do this unless they are printed in branch. However, the printed ones in branch may not contain all the required information (e.g. your name/address). In terms of the deeds for the property - if ...

It will take a little while - they'll be checking in to the history, checking into the later grants and looking through your current documentation with a toothcomb.

Be patient - people do get visas after refusals.

When were you born?

Where is she now and are you living together?

General visitor visa.

You need to read that as 'you are visiting friends or visiting family who aren't permanent residents'.

E.g. it doesn't matter if the friends are permanent residents or not - but it does matter whether the family are.

Yes.

The important thing - as far as UKBA are concerned - is the last full financial year. Since your financial year ends in May - the only information you can supply is May 2013 to May 2014. If you meet the financial qualification criteria for that period - great - if not - you have to wait to apply unt...

What's your status?

While the terms of the category F and G require that you are a company director in order to fall under them - I suspect you'd be on very shaky ground to appoint someone else since you are the sole shareholder and then try and claim you're an employee. You'd also need to understand that, as the compa...

Are you proposing to sell the company or are you proposing to retain the shares, but change the directorship?

The rules are reasonably straightforward - albeit with a lot of nuance - a standard spouse visa application would have to prove he had income of £18,600 or over (per annum) for the last 6 months with the same employer OR that he has income of £18,600 or over (per annum) over the last 12 months AND t...

They'd never do such a thing in terms of offering any kind of guarantee. However, if all she has done is overstay - e.g. no illegal working, no crime etc - then there's no ban under the spouse visa rules she'd fall foul of. If she met all the requirements of the standard spouse visa - financial, eng...

No - the Home Office generally require 6 months worth of evidence to confirm support. The key to gaining the 10 year path visa is not proving support, but proving insurmountable obstacles to living elsewhere. Having a baby helps with that and confirming the relationship through marriage helps. But I...

The are nuances in there - for example - if she left for 2 years and tried to return arguing she was still living with her husband - that might cause problems. But the basic premise is: If she's granted a visa - and her circumstances don't change - then she - she can come and go. Will the visa be gr...

It's fine - as long as she has a valid multi-entry visa (which all settlement visas are) she can come and go. If her circumstances change - e.g. she got divorced and lost custody of the child - that might be different - but if she's just going on holiday it's fine. But don't underplay the challenges...

Hi Casa, Sorry but could you clarify 'If they marry they won't have to prove they have been living in a relationship 'akin to marriage for at least two years'? Do you mean that if they would be married (in church or registry office) that they don't have to prove their relationship even if let's say...

Ok- so when was the marriage visa applied for - was it successful?

You need to step back a bit - you've posted a lot about your relationship - but not about your visa status.

When did you arrive? Under what visa? Did you ever renew or change that visa? How long was it for?

The basic restriction is that your mother must be in a state such that she requires help with everyday tasks (washing, dressing, going out). This in enhanced with a qualifier that says you must show you cannot afford to hire help locally. It's further 'enhanced' to add that you must also be able to ...

Unfortunately the answer is 'as long as it takes'.

The fact you have a previous rejection means that the evidence you've presented this time will be very closely observed.

The fact you were rejected and you've reapplied correcting it won't have helped the straightforwardness of it.

But the answer is that there are many factors that can play into how complicated an application is - including how many checks they want to make.

Thanks for your reply Lucapooka. Yes I have a job lined up, at least in the interim starting from January 2015 and the employer appears to be flexible with the starting date. Am I right in saying I just need to submit job offer letter as part of the application? Yes - although you should make sure ...
