Hi All I am hoping to do the online application this weekend for my husband's citizenship, through marriage to me (a Brit)...The referee we were going to use, a local councillor, has just advised us that his British passport has been expired for a few years! As it states the First referee must be th...
Thanks very much lucapooka, I have passed on the info, and my friend will write to UKBA about the relationship ending. They were married in Thailand, so any divorce proceedings will be done in that country, not in UK, so as she will not have to attend any court proceedings here, and she has little e...
yes, this is as I thought. I think she is intending to enter and go to London to then work (legally at first), and just stay here illegally when her Visa expires. I have advised my friend to write to UKBA to tell them the marriage is over, and they will then hopefully cancel her Visa, he was just wo...
Hi All I'm asking for a friend of mine, who married a thai woman, she came over on Spouse Visa last year, didn't settle, so went back to Thailand. has been back once, so in total has spent about 1 month in UK. she now say's she is coming back, but to work in London, her husband (my friend) lives in ...
DEBZ if you are applying for ILR in Glasgow, you can send a bankers draft or cheque to them beforehand,(to save possibility of d/c not going through), but it has to arrive with UKBA payments office AT LEAST 6 days before your appointment, and has to have the downloaded payment form with it. when I d...
I understand that these cancellations of appointments are a real pain, but something should be done by official channels, I really can't condone people making duplicate bookings, 'just in case' as Push has stated, this is not permitted by UKBA, and it is also REALLY unfair to the people trying to ge...
scrapper, at all other PEO's b.draft is acceptable ON THE DAY, but at glasgow & Cardiff, it is not, only by post (with a payment form), at least 6 days before application
the problem is that bankers' draft is not acceptable 'ON THE DAY' at Glasgow PEO, this is only possible if you send this at least 6 days before the appointment, together with a payment form
yes, thats what it says on the wesite, for these 2 PEO's, they only take the cc/dc form of payment on the day http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/aboutus/contact/applyinginperson/cost/ as the previous poster stated, if you are paying by d/c, don't forget to inform your bank beforehand that you will be...
sorry, I have no idea how they take it, my appointment is in 4 weeks, and read on the UKBA site that they only take cc/dc payments on the day at both Glasgow & Cardiff, you cant take cheque, postal order or bankers darft, so best to try to find someone who has used d/c on the day, or ring them f...
Please also be aware that at Glasgow PEO you can only pay on the day by debit or credit card, they do not accept any other payment, unless you download a payment form and send this to them at least 6 days before the appointment
Hi all, I have 2 questions I hope you guys can answer 1. applying ILR set M at Cardiff peo, 1st entry to UK on spouse visa was 21/6/10, appointment booked for 25/5/12, so by my calculations, this is within 28 days of 2 years residency...question is, (after reading another post stating they wouldn't ...
thank you both so much for your re-assurance, this immigration stuff is so precise, I like to dot all the i's & cross all the t's so to speak although I don't post on here much, I read the forum all the time, and it was a great help when applying for the initial spouse visa, you are all really w...
Hi, yes it is set m we are applying for, my husband is the applicant, I am the British citizen, I booked the appointment in his name, as the applicant, and I am NOT his dependant, so I put none the problem is the confirmation says ...number of people attending 1 and obviously I will be attending wit...
Hi sorry, I must have misunderstood it, if it asked for DEPENDANTS, then yes, I put none, as it is for a spouse visa only, NO dependants, just myself and my husband, I didn't see anywhere it ask who will be actually attending the appointment, untill the confirmation page said 1. I will try to ring t...
Hi a similar problem / query I have just booked an appointment for the cardiff PEO for set M, but on the confirmation email, it states ...persons attending INCLUDING applicant - 1....but surely the spouse is required to attend in normal circumstances, so attendees should be 2? do I need to confirm t...
hi
is this rule the same for a spose visa?
as it's only 2 years initially, how much time can be spent out of the UK in this period before it will affect ILR or whatever it may be by then!
Thanks, have looked, but can't see anything definate
Yes, It's really a question of where you are submitting i suppose. after reading the pages and pages of the 'treasury tag' argument on the Visa from Pakistan topic,I decided to email the Vac in Cairo, to ask exactly what format did they accept they assured me I could present my information in any wa...
Hi guys firstly, a brief background I am female British Citizen, met my husband 2 years ago in Egypt applied for visit visa (he as friend), got refused, basically because I had nooooooooo idea of immigration, and so supplied NO evidence/docs applied again, but got refused,my b/a was slightly overdra...
I would just like to say how annoying it is to read OP's last comment. it seems that apart from Meats, (who is banned),you were given excellent advice, eg extending his student visa to give time to apply COA or allowing change to a different category, which does seem to be what you have in fact done...
Hi everyone, I have only posted on here a couple of times, but have been reading the forum for over a year now, and have this week been informed my Husband's Spouse visa has been issued, first time... :D I am under the firm opinion, that it was WHOLLY due to the wonderful advice given to people on h...
