Thanks smile, will probably get her a French visa to keep things simple.

Hi I'm a British citizen and my wife has the following UK residence permit, as the spouse of a BC: http://www.imageupload.co.uk/files/pg3pm2t7vnwradrgoc31.jpg Could she travel with me to France by road (eurotunnel) by this card, her non-eu passport, my passport and our marriage certificate? The word...

arifzx Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2013 8:59 pm Post subject: We applied on the 8th of April by postal service with SAE envelope. As a spouse of Brit, straightforward case. But still awaiting from UKBA. It's exactly 2 months now and worrying. It appears that recent apps are getting processed quickly than t...

Batley Khan, My fiancee in karachi applied for a uk settlement visa (as fiancee) back in june 2009 and we still haven't heard anything back yet. Is it common for them (UKBA) to take such a long time in reaching a decision? i did "marry" my fiancee back in Nov 2008 in Karachi but her settle...

Batleykhan,

I've just PM'd you.

Cheers Bro

Yes thats right. The fee for this is I believe in the region of £585 aswell. Personally I think it would work out cheaper, easier and quicker if you applied for a spouse visa. However that would involve you getting married in Pakistan. I take it you know that you both have to be over 21 and have m...

thanks for that Vinny. So we need to submit a settlement visa application VAF4A rather than Marriage Visitor form VAF1F?

Hi We're applying to bring my fiancee over from Pakistan to UK so i've just filled out form "marriage visitor VAF1F" http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources/en/docs/1903073/VAF1F But which category will our application come under? According to http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/visafees/ ...

yippeeeee! my UK divorce (scottish simplified) came through a few days ago and i now have the final divorce certificate. I understand UK law refuses to recognize my marriage in pakistan last year because technically speaking i was still married to my first wife...so i will have to get married again ...

Thanks for that Vinny. After speaking to a few immigration solicitors over the phone, they all came to the conclusion that I need to see a family law solicitor in England and get a decree absolute issued so that UK law recognises my divorce. Obviously this will take time, so in the meantime could i ...

Hi In January 2004 I (British National) got married in Pakistan to my partner a Pakistan national. She got her UK settlement visa 6 months later and came to UK in Aug 2004. Unfortunately our marriage broke down soon after, we both agreed to a divorce and my ex-wife left the UK. We did NOT register o...
