Ok so should i give a date going by the processing times given for applications? i.e any time after the 120 days given as a guide for settlement visas submitted to Kingston? Yes any reasonable date. This part is not very important in comparison to the rest of the application. If there are not enoug...

I'm currently holding a UK tourist/visit visa expired in March 2010. I stayed there for a month last October, and planning on visiting UK again. My question is, would my visa receive another stamp on it? Or will there be only one stamp, i.e. the first day on entry? Thank you. You will get another s...

Ok if I put full 22 months will she want to tell her plans of her further studies (after she finishes current course in 5 months) right now in my application. For that we havent got any plans yet or cannot show funds right now. But we know we will apply Post Study or do MSc when she finish this deg...

Thanks... More questions... In the statements that the sponsor and applicant provide what needs to be detailed? (i.e relationship history, intentions once applicant arrives) Would a letter from my housing officer be sufficient to confirm that the accommodation is suitable and will not be overcrowdi...

Yes I would say you're being paranoid. Just relax

Thanks! I have another question - if my latest statement (I'm the sponsor) shows a payment made from my account to a UK company while I'm also, in other evidence, showing I was on holiday on a US cruise with my fiancee, do I need to explain it? It would be the first payment of a subscription, set u...

Hi, I am asking on behalf of my friend, who had been living with his girlfriend who is a European National for 2 years. But he can show only 14 month on the same address, where he has the proof by showing letters, contract.... the rest of the time he had been living with her in a friends house but ...

Hi, Thanks for the replies, Well, When I fill the student dependant application it asks how long am I going to stay in UK and specially it asks the exact dates I wish to enter to UK and exit.

Hi, My wife has her student visa expiring in another 22 months. But her current course of study finishes in 5 months time. This was because she skipped the sandwitch year of her degree. Now I want o apply for student dependant visa under her and how long can I tell them I wish to stay in UK. If I s...

Ok another question. This time possibly a bit easier... I hope. So I my mother agreed to be a joint sponsor so thats the money issue out of the way (i think it is anyway). I've been talking to an immigration lawyer and she said that if my fiancee comes to the country on a visa waiver that if we get...

yep, preferably 6.

Quick clarification, please: American friend came to the UK as a tourist in June - granted a 6 month visitor visa. Has been travelling in/out to other countries for short periods (few days / one week at a time). Plans to go home for xmas in Dec before visitor visa expires. She wants to come back in...

I think the postal application can take up to three months and yeah you're right about the price difference.

Thanks guys. I know some of this already. Bank statements/ savings are no problem I think. (All my savings are in the form of shares, but this should be OK, right?) The COA is something totally different . I know this, but we applied for it on her (just expired) visa, but it never came thru in time...

the immigration officer told her that her visa had expired (no shit, Sherlock!). Gerry, the immigration laws are confusing and subject to continual change, making it very difficult for most of us to keep up with what we are supposed to do (credit to the regular posters on this board who do so well)...

Thanks for your quick response. Where can i get detailed info as to how much should reflect on back statements and for how long? http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/ukresidency/extendingyourstay/applicationtype/flr%28m%29/ I think you need to show 3-6 months worth of bank statements. There is no set ...

Your university staff are being very difficult. It's understandable that you will not need to take anymore courses but as a student you need books and such to study for your resits, which you can easily get in your library and study from there. It's very difficult to buy all of the textbooks as they...

Howdy, I'm thinking of applying to for a tourist visa to the US and was wondering what the answer should be to section 38 in visa from DS-156. Section 38 38. IMPORTANT: ALL APPLICANTS MUST READ AND CHECK THE APPROPRIATE BOX FOR EACH ITEM. A visa may not be issued to persons who are within specific ...

I'm sorry I agree with the others. You would have problems at the airport on an expired visa so I would advise against going home for christmas as much as that sucks!

Any thoughts?

Are your re-sits in August?

Hi, It is not very clear on the official sites but: 1) If you get married in this country to a non- EU national, you need to get a fiancee visa for the non- EU person. This is fine, but I understand this typically takes around 3 months to obtain? (Brazil). After this, are you able to immediately tr...
