Hi, My husband was successful on the 29th November 2012 in getting his ILR at the PEO in Liverpool. I wanted to share our experience in case it will help anyone else. Background: I am British and my husband is from South Korea, we received his spouse visa and came to the UK on the 22nd December 2010...

Thank you so much for your reply. We've been going out of our minds with worry.

Hi, I am a British citizen and my husband is here in the UK on a spouse visa, due to expire March 2013. We are looking to apply for his ILR soon and have just started researching for this. With regards to the new rule for £18,600 earnings is this related to both me and my spouse's earnings combined ...

Thanks, that's a bit clearer.. it does seem strange though about the CTC, but who am I to complain.

I will have a look at the pinned topic again, I must have missed some information on there the first time I read it.

Thanks for your time

Thanks Casa, just to clarify though, you state that Maternity pay isn't a Public Fund - does this mean that Child Tax credits and Child benefit are? In which case, this is my confusion - it states on my husband's visa 'no recourse to public funds' - so surely then claiming CTC and CB would affect th...

Hi, I am a UK citizen and my husband is from South Korea, we are both living in the UK and he is here on a Spouse visa which will expire March 2013 - at which point he will be applying for his ILR.

Hi, My husband's settlement visa was issued last week and we are now looking to buy his plane ticket. I just wanted to ask if it would be ok for him to come to the UK from Korea on a one way ticket? I can't think of any reason it wouldn't be ok as he now has his visa until 2013.. but wanted to check...

Can I ask what kind of things you feel like you might have left out? I'm just wondering if those are some things I might also be leaving out.. eek!

Thanks Batleykhan You've been a great help!

Ofcourse, the state of things in the UK, my job, house, finances are more important I understand that but it is a huge chunk of our finances as a couple. The document provided by the Korean visa agency is an Adobe read only file, so I can't ammend it and add it on to the end of the list. Also, there...

We have lived together in Korea for two years now (been together for 8years in total), that house is our first marital house, it's just in my husband's name. We will be selling the house if and when our application is successful. The cost of housing is always skyrocketing in Korea, especially Seoul,...

Hi, I'm British and my husband is South Korean and we will soon be applying for his settlement visa. According to the UK Border agency here in Korea, we have to submit our documents with their table of contents which can be downloaded off their site. This is the order: Application form Visa fee Phot...
