If you can provide some basic information about why Ukraine is not an option for you living together then people here will be able to help on how to best prove that.

Apart from this earning requirement, Is there a maintenance fund requirement as well for spouse of settled persons? or a certain amount that should be showing as available at the time of application?

Yes, apologies, didn't realize that it was 2011 and I have now deleted it from my post. But the following questions still remain un answered.. so please answer if you can. Can someone please provide me with a link of BHC/Gerry's site where I can see their processing times. Has the processing times a...

Can someone please provide me with a link of BHC/Gerry's site where I can see their processing times.

Has the processing times always been around 6 months for spouse visa? Is there a reason why it's taking so long.

what is the application fee for spouse visa?

A slight off topic probably but can someone tell me what is the current fee for spouse visa in pounds? I am on ILR and need to apply for my wife who is in Pakistan.

Did you mention these offences in your ILR application?

I guess you are asking that how will you apply for your child from India and how long it takes. The following thread will give you an idea http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=107067 Also, you can read guidance notes and other details here http://ukinhongkong.fco.gov.uk/en/help-for-briti...

I don't understand what you are trying to ask above.

1. It doesn't make any difference if you apply now or after your marriage.

2. You can apply for you wife's visa on the basis of ILR.

Experts here may be able to shed some more light.

You can make a Subject Access Request to find out your absences. This will give you all the data home office has on your file.

It sounds like both of you have individual visas and no one is dependent. If your visa is not linked to your wife then you can't get an ILR straight away on the basis of her ILR or Citizenship. I think the best for you will be to wait for ILR till you become eligible in 2014. Other may be able to sh...

Yes, you should contact your solicitor or insurance company to get some clarification around this.

In any case, now that you have paid the fine and it hasn't been to court, I don't think this will have any impact on your application.

Did it go to court? or was it debt recovery letter before court proceedings?

How many working days has it been exactly since HO received your application.

Why not just call them and ask. Here is a sticky

I don't think you can include your work permit days in when calculating 5 years as the absence was more than 90 days. Unless you were still being paid in UK and you can get a letter from your employer.

Great. If you paid by credit card, I think you should contact your bank as well. It will be interesting to see what reply you get from UKBA

I think everyone who had been effected by IT issues should send this to UKBA after getting their Bio Metric

Thanks Linkers and Smam.

My Bio Metric card says that its valid until year 2022 so it's only valid for next 10 years. What happens in 2022 if I don't apply for naturalization by then or fail to get a passport?

Many Congratulations Viren.

If you changed your home address, they may have sent something to your previous address. The fact that you changed your address on your licence doesn't mean that your address in court was also updated. There is a possibility that you have been sentenced in absence. I would suggest that you do Basic ...

Received my Bio Metric card today. 3rd working day from the date of appointment.

Congratulations instantK

I had a similar case and was granted ILR. Had SP30 speeding offence, dealt in court and my application was successful.

I had my appointment yesterday and was not asked for P60s. Only last 12 month payslips and bank statements. I would suggest that if you are asked for P60s, make sure you say that you have payslips for that period as you have lost P60s. I don't think it should be a problem as both are from the same s...
