yup I know, but this is where we lived together and where I am living now, my son is in school here, we had our house here everything! With all the advice I've gotten on this message board, I think I know all the required info.......I hope. I do have another question, does my husband have to certify...

I actually spoke to a live body at the Kingston British High Commission and the answer is No, I cannot use my US passport as I am now residing in Jamaica.

Hi, As the time draws near I get more nervous. I will be putting in my application in less that two weeks and have now thought of something. I am a dual citizen, Jamaican/United States. I now reside in Jamaica and will be appling for my spouse visa here (in JA). Can I use my US passport to apply for...

In regards to the UK entry from US, I wondered if it would be a problem only because the visa was issued in JA and not the states. In addition I use my US passport to travel, so my JA passport would not reflect my entry into the US. But I suppose if any questions are asked I have my US passport on ...

Thanks Batleykhan. I am so indebted to you for the help and guidance, regardless of the outcome! However by Gods grace and good preparation we will be successful.

My husband now stays with his cousin and does not contribute to the household. However, she is going to move in with her boyfriend and rent the house to him. Its a three (3) bedroom apartment, we have two children aged five (5) and three (3). Besides the lease agreement what other documents for this...

Ahhhhhh, thanks! Thats a relief to hear!

Wow, thanks. I won't be in the UK until the end of June (Gods willing), I would have to move like the wind to do my Life in the UK test and apply for ILR before July. So I guess I fall under the changes. Will I still be able to ask for the KOL endorsement based on being married and living out of the...

djb123 Did a little research on UKBA and see that the changes to the ILR form are for the SET(O). As I will be entering the UK on a spouse visa, I will fill in the SET(M) when I am applying for my ILR. So I don't think I will be affected by the changes or any one else who has entered on a spouse vis...

You mentioned that the ILR will be replaced soon. Do you know the details?

Yes there is a spouse visa, the link provided in Johns post above takes you to the relevant pages on the UKBA site.

Here is a link to one of those pages http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply ... espartners

I guess you're quite right, it will only take a little time to be filled in. Plus my husband has to send everything else to me by courier, one more sheet won't make a difference.

Great, thanks Batleykhan. Trying so hard to breathe as I go through these last couple of months. Used to wonder why people always spoke of failing health during this wait, can you believe I now have high blood pressure. I would never believe the stress of this wait would be affect me so greatly. Tha...

Thanks Batleykhan, I started wondering when I didn't see it listed elsewhere.

What about the lease for the house? Any insight on that?

I am applying for a Settlement Visa VAF4A; I have a few questions in regards to a sponsorship undertaking form. 1. Is it necessary for my husband to fill this form in? 2. If so, does it need to be certified? I know that he has to do a sponsor letter in addition to the other documents to be submitted...

Hi,

Thanks, my husband will probably have eleven (11) to send when I'm ready to apply. I'm sending in my application (kingston, Jamaica) in April I want to enter UK in June. I hope the timing is ok.

Hi Batleykhan,

I noticed that you mentioned three (3) months of payslips or eight (8)weeks to be submitted with the application.

Is the eight (8) weeks correct? My husband is paid weekly so I had assumed I was to submit twelve (12) weekly payslips.

Can you let me know? Thanks.

OK thanks,

It's seems so far away and my mind is already muddled with everything my husband and I need to present for the ILE application, I haven't even done any research!

Thanks again.

Hi Uk Immm, I will be sending in my application for ILE in April, and will be requesting the KOL req. endorsement (been married and lived outside of the UK over 7 years.) My question is, after successfully doing the test and appyling for the ILR how many years before I can apply for my British passp...

Thanks again Batleykhan

Hi Batleykhan,

I know this is a bit later, but do you still have a copy of the sponsor letter? If so could you send it to me? I will send you my email address.
Thanks.

I'm in Jamaica and used DHL to send documents to my husband in London who sent them right back. They quoted three days each way and did it in two (each way).

1) 6 months - can't be extended in country and you are only allowed to be in the UK 6 months in every 12. Didn't think the 6 months mean't in every 12, thought it mean't at one time. If someone stayed for a 6 month visit they would not be allowed to return until 6 months had passed? What if they wa...

Hi Jaywel,

Did alot of reading since reading your post 8 weeks looks average.
However check out this page:

I had to wait 4 months two years ago, but my friend visa took him two weeks to get through and he was a overstayer for 6 years. Hi Badboyz, I'm applying to KGN BHC soon and wonder if you know of any recent applications, and what current waiting time is. I've seen the monthly updated page that shows...
