Is it necessary that I have to write that I want to visit the UK to see My girlfriend? Strictly speaking, no. But don't lie if they directly ask. Never lie. That's just a recipe for disaster. However if you say you are here as tourist off to see some sites, then this needs to be blatantly obvious, ...

Also, will they stamp his passport with anything? Like he can't return within 6 months or something? Ireland and the UK have a common arrangements that allows citizens of each free travel. There is normally no checking of documents for travel within the UK/Ireland common area by land or sea. Howeve...

Do you have any friends or family in the UK, especially those who would be willing to vouch for you? . . . ... My girlfriend whose in Scotland.... Well I guess that answers that question! Ok, let's back the truck up a bit and start again. Obviously the previous information that we've asked for and ...

I was wondering, does a recent employment sound rather dodgy? I have not been previously employed but I could start work soon. Maybe this week or so. My bank A/c has been previously used before for transactions by My father Not in recent times though, been 4-5 months. Well Manchester United is not ...

Thank you for your reply. To begin with answering your questions. 1) No my Father is not in the UK, what I meant by Him sponsoring me is from Pakistan, for a trip to the UK. 2) To be honest, the purpose of my visit is see London. It has been an insatiable desire since long, secondly I'm a football ...

How would I be able to show strong financial connection with Home Country? Could I possibly translate the documents of the Agriculture Lands owned by My father & present them with My application? The lands are pretty vast to be honest. I wouldn't have a problem with showing "strong" c...

Greetings everyone. Even though I've made another topic with a similar query but this might be more detailed & direct I feel. I have been intending on applying for a visit visa to the UK. I am of 25 years of age and not employed. I run errands for My father and He's the source to my income. I h...

I hope this passes, and that there are loads of hilarious news reports of native British who are denied rental accommodations because they don't have, and have never had, the kind of documentation to prove their legal stay in the country.

You seem to think paying for insurance covers all your medical costs. You are sadly mistaken. What I seem to think is that you get what you shop and pay for. There are more exclusions than inclusions. I have two policies (primary and a secondary "gap" one that is supposed to cover holes) ...

if you don't have access to social security or health care you don't pay national insurance. We are paying for something we cannot access. But go ahead and celebrate the fact you might be able to opt-out. :? I'll 'celebrate' if that opting out means I don't pay the taxes to NHS, and get to use that...

I have read the document and there is a proposal that certain visa classes may opt out and use private care, but if you do so you will also be liable for the costs of any emergency care, which I don't think our insurance covers. As long as my 'opting out' means that I don't pay one pence, not in ta...

It's unclear who, if this comes in, this will affect - will it just be students or will those with permanent residency/ILR and jobs have to cough up too? If they want to start charging me a yearly NHS fee, no problem. I just want a refund on all the taxes I've paid into the NHS, minus the charge fo...

Foreigners will be charged around £200-a-year towards the cost of healthcare in a bid to tackle so-called health tourism. Ministers will outline plans to introduce the charge for foreign workers.... And here is the part where I'm having a bit of a disconnect. If you are working in the UK legally, y...

GPs must not become a new 'border agency' in policing access to the NHS. GPs have a duty of care to all people seeking healthcare and should not be expected to turn people away when they are at their most vulnerable. I don't think that's what is being proposed. GPs should give treatment as normal. ...

Imigration act 24A 1 You don't seem to want to go into details as to what exactly you have been accused and convicted of. This is your right. It is a public message board and perhaps you feel that it will somehow affect the advice we try to give to you. I just want to let you know that the reason w...

ALL foreigners arriving in Britain will face a fee of up to thousands of pounds to pay for their healthcare. The levy will be mandatory for everyone except tourists for any stay longer than six months in a new Government plan. It will be paid upfront, before migrants know whether they will need any...

Thank you Lucapooka After doing some research I have found out that my niece has no rights of appeal apart from issues relating to race or human rights. So we will reapply. Does reapplying involve going through the same process as the first application in terms of photocopying all documents again? ...

The UK NEW IMMIGRATION POLICY is simply "NO COLORED ALLOWED" ... rant Yeah maybe.... But keep in mind that the BNP is just as opposed to Polish/Romanian/Bulgarian immigration as they are to any other. They even got 100,000 people to sign an online petition that was sent to parliament oppo...

Well it's not a bad idea I suppose on 'paper'. But once you get out of the political committee meeting and into the real world, I think even the most ardent supporters of this scheme would have to see major, perhaps unforgivable, issues with it. First, and most obviously, it creates animosity. Secon...

Hey guys thanks for getting back I left UK on 29 October 2009 I had visa till 31 October 2009 and came back on 22 march 2010 with new visa. By my reckoning, that single period is less than 180 days (144). Other than that I visited Pakistan in June 2006 and December 2006 for one month and also I for...

Hey everyone I am new here so hopefully I put my question in the right place and someone will answer my question I came to UK as a student in 2004 got 4 years visa from Pakistan after i got one year extension. i left UK in october 2009 and came back in march 2010 with a fresh student visa from Paki...

There is a difference between this: ...bad quality document in the application submitted (immigration rules paragraph 320(7A). and this: ...applying for a visitor visa (obviously with genuine documentation this time round). The UKBA won't ban an applicant for ten years for supplying poor quality doc...

Applying for MN1 means foreign citizenship entitlement has been exercised and not acquired voluntarily. So the child can't retain Indian citizenship and apply for ROA on an Indian passport. This provision is only applicable to a child who is born in UK to an Indian passport holder with ILR i.e. Bri...

They do have confirmation before they issue Birth certs, as you have lived in Germany yourself, you will understand there isn't hospital registration of birth, the parents have to visit their local (Auslanderamt ) immigration office to register their child's birth. There's something not quite right...
