Hey, My wife (US citizen) recently got her spouse visa, we've got her ticket and she's due to fly on the 21st of feb, I just wanted to check there was nothing else we have to do before she arrives. I have read about the tb screening and is it correct that it only applies to certain countries? Or wil...
For my wife's application my accountant photocopied the page of my passport with the photo on it. He had a stamp with something like "I ________ certify that this is a genuine copy" which he stamped on the photocopy (in the white space around the copy, NOT over what was copied), then he si...
Hey, I had posted a couple of months ago about her application & being worried with finaces & that we were both under 21.... but today she got an email from the LA Consulate saying that her visa application has been approved and her passport is on its way to her! I guess we got one of the la...
Being under 18 should not have had been a reason for refusing it. Me and my wife are in a similar situation (both under 21 & applied to the LA Consulate before change in age happened). I contacted my local MP who wrote to Phil Woolas (Minister of State for Borders and Immigration) and I have a c...
I managed to speak to someone at the LA Consulate today - she said they haven't even started opening settlement applications from the start of November yet and not to expect a decision for about 3 months. She said that when new rules come in they usually have a "grey period" where applicat...
Me (UK citizen) and my wife (US citizen) are both under 21, our application arrived in the Los Angeles consulate on 17th November but as of yet we've heard nothing from them - as it arrived before the 27th does anyone know if it will still be looked at under the old rules? My local MP has been writi...
Hi, My wife (US citizen) is applying for a UK Spouse Visa. After completing the online application they gave us a list of required supporting documents. On the list they have asked for this: "Immigration status (Original not copy) e.g. Permanent residence card, Valid I-94 H1-B - L-1 - B-1 I-20 ...
Hi, I am 20 (UK citizen), my wife is 19 (US citizen). We married on 31st Oct in the US and she is hoping to move in with me in the UK in January 2009. We had been planning this for many months however after we married we learned of the new change in the age law coming in to effect on 27th Nov which ...
Thanks again for all the help so far Vinny. We are planning to submit the online application today. I understand she will then be given an appointment for a biometric fingerscan and after this we would mail the actual application with all the supporting documents. If the online application is sent b...
Due to the time constraints would you recommend applying for the visa with her old passport and not getting it changed? Everywhere I have looked it just says the new rules are coming in "by December" - could that mean sometime in November? We are just really worried about the new age requi...
Thanks again for the help :) A couple more questions: 1) We are just waiting for the marriage license to be posted to us so we can apply. My wife cannot change the name on her passport until we have that - will the number on the passport be the same after the name change? i.e. Can we make the applic...
Thanks for the clarrification. We have to apply online as she is from the US. We started this process and when asking for the type of visa it lists "wife", "husband" and "marriage" seperately in the drop down menu. Should we select "wife" or "marriage&quo...

We just married yesterday in the US and she is hoping to move in with me in the UK in January 2009. We had planned to do the Spouse Visa application through marriagevisahel...
