4. VAT1.4 Visa validity - What period for a multiple entry visit visa? Many thanks Vinny, exactly the information I was looking for. So I can now apply for a 2 year visa which is great. Also another quick one is regarding the filing of online application, although my in-laws have bank deposits and ...
Hello Friends, Can someone please help. I would like to bring my in-laws to UK on visitor visa. My mom-inlaw was here for 5 months and my father-inlaw even though got the visa stamped couldnt come to UK due to some work commitments. Now we're having our second baby due in a few months time and I was...
apply for OCI in person at London as soon as possible (if you can). you might still be lucky to get it before your travel. visa takes 2-4 days - so in case there is no progress until 12/14th Jan, then you can apply for visa. Dear ban.s I'm in a similar situation but probably worse off than jacsll55...
Hi All, Finally the inlaws VISA has been stamped, they re-applied on the 6th April and received the passport yesterday 29th April. This time around I got them to make a fresh application stating I was going to sponsor their entire trip and provided all supporting docs. That was it. Me and Mrs very ...

Thanks Sushdmehta, as always appreciate your speedy response. I'm wondering if I were to get my folks to make a fresh application, they'll obviously have to mention they were previously refused visa on such and such grounds. And explain exactly what additional proof/evidence is being produced to mak...
Dear Friends, My in-laws application for visitors visa to Uk was refused :( on the grounds that they dint provide enough evidence of funds to support their trip. I can see the refusal is more like a mistake from my in-laws part as they missed out on a crucial document of savings account statement fr...
Sorry about the late response, the inlaws havent applied for visa yet, I'd be sending the relevant docs this week and they'd most probably apply the second week. But I'll surely post the outcome here. thanks
Your inlaws can come for a maximum 6 months on a visitors visa. There is no 12 months visa at all. Your inlaws need to show they have good incentives to return home. The ones that you have outlined seems quite reasonable to me that they will infact return back home. You need to produce documents to...
Be very careful with your application. When you stated that you might want them to come for a year, what ties do they have back home if they are able to just go for a year? You have to prove that they have ties back home and do not intend to stay in the UK indefinitely. Especially with such a long ...
See also VAT1.5 Frequency and duration of visits and ECB9.5 What if applicant is not intending to travel straight away to the UK . Thanks for the reply Vinny. I read through the docs, but its only general information, the only reason I'm asking is because there has been couple of cases offlate repo...
Dear Gurus, I'm really in need of your advice regarding family visitor visa. I'd like to invite my in-laws to the UK as my wife is due for delivery in May 2011. I'm looking forward to bring them here atleast by the 1st week of May. I have the following questions, but i'm also going through other rel...

194-196F not only covers dependents of HSMP migrants but dependents of migrants in other economic categories (e.g.- WP). Only HSMP migrants protected by HSMP JR (and their dependents) are exempt from LITUK test at the time of ILR, by virtue of the JR judgment. Migrants in other categories (and thei...

if you could point me to where i can find the ILR guidelines to support the claim 'dependants of HSMP holder (covered under JR ruling) need not spent 2 yrs in UK'. THis is just in case if i end up in trouble. Dependent(s) of HSMP migrants protected by HSMP JR are covered under immigration rules 194...
Just to add, do carry a copy of the HSMP JR as even in my case, the case worker did not know about a certain rule and I had to show her a copy. She said "I have learned something new today" upon reading it. Best regards Many thanks gidoc, i'll make sure i take a copy with me, this time i'...
If you selected "SET(O) excluding long residency" as type of application and included your spouse details by selecting "Add family member" (or something similar) at the time of registering, you should be fine. With regards to Croydon PEO, I had a hard time explaining to the cler...
Hi, I just completed booking an appointment for a family group. The earliest and the only appointment i could manage was for Croydon on the 15th of June 2010. But I'm completing my 4 years period on 19th June although my HSMP visa is valid until march 2011. Is that too close. Thats like 3 days befor...
Dear Friend, Thanks for your response, and thanks for pointing out the much needed HSMP letter, i'll make sure this goes in as well. Do you think my dependent wife who's been with me in the UK for hardly a month be eligible to apply with me for ILR. I just checked the online appointment, i got seper...
Hi Guys, Firstly a big thanks to all the people here who've helped me with all my immigration queries so far especially while making my dependent application under HSMP (JR ruling). Your help was immensely useful and much appreciated. without taking much of your time, here are the questions i have w...

I still have other doubts, but i'll just ...
Many thanks for your response once again Sush, thats great news, it just took another hurdle out of the way. However I'm now in a bit of dilemma that i cant decide whats the best option available. What would your recommendation be? As much as I'd like to take your advice on delaying my wife's depend...
Dear Sush, Many many thanks for your prompt response, its such a huge relief to know that i can apply for ILR in the next few months. Until 2 days ago I was under the impression that my ILR appln is due only next year. So I really appreciate this response. I tried posting my query on the UKBA site a...
