I'm not sure what the Moroccan government's policy is, but in my case, my government and its embassy here allow you to renew your passport 6 month before it's due to expire, if that's the case with you, then your husband can renew his passport at around July 2012 and then submit both passport when ...

Can he not apply for a new passport before he applies for settlement in November 2012? Also, unless UKBA has changed it's policy , ILR can be stamped on an expired passport. He could apply for new passport in Morocco in July 2012 but how will he be able to return to England as his visa will be stam...

Hi all, Hoping you can help me.. My Moroccan husband's passport expires in January 2013, but his ILR is due November 2012. What is worrying us is if he gets ILR will they put the visa stamp in his old passport and what will happen when he obtains new passport in January 2013? Will we have to get the...

Everyone who prayed for me. Your prayers have been answered. Visa has been granted. Was all done on Monday, a bit of confusion after but the agent sent me e-mail confirming visa had been granted and passport has arrived today aswell. He sent me photographic proof of the passport with the Visa Stamp...

Hey Casapot, yes i am hoping that too. I am just wondering how long could be left. If it took 6 weeks for the status to change to under process, how long will it be before we have an answer? I am hopeful that my application is successful (there is always a bit of doubt) Just hoping it isn't another...

Now i don't know how often he has been checking it, wheather he checked it cause i asked him about it or he has been checking it regulary i don't know. I know it is under process now and...

Thankyou to all that advised me on this forum Batleykhan, Casa, John and Vinny... God bless you all. Also Good Luck to all that are going through the process now. I will contin...

I think Wanderer is wrong. The op's relation was not deported but removed. Whether or not he was removed at secretary of state expenses, will have no bearing, as paragraph 320(7c) which was previously mentioned, will be applicable, if the individual, will be, as it appear to be the case, married to...

Hi Wanderer, Well I know he was in a detention centre for about 3 months and went through court proceedings before he was deported. Sorry what is the difference between removed and deported? :D Was he given instruction to leave or physically placed on the plane and his passport returned. Did he pay...
