There is a lot of infor on here about previous cases and lots to read, it is possible but also better to apply from the home country, depending on the details of the case.

letters only need to be basic,

how they know you, how loong they've known you, how they know your relationship and their support of your relationship.

If you have the money you say you have it should be no problem as you only have to show how you can maintain your wife at approx £106 for a couple per week, and I think you have more then enough for that.

Vinny Just read the overcrowded bit and it does mention that it wont be classed as overcrowding if the family are there on a temp basis.

I didn't get an inspection report. I gave a floor plan, photos of every room, tenancy agreement, letter from landlord with description of property and council tax letter and service charge bill. I was successful..

I got a letter from my private landlord to describe the property amount of rooms, other people living there and that it meets overcrowding act and that he is happy for me and hubby to have one room for private use.

I got my bio page copied page certified that it was a true copy of the original, stamped off for £7 and it was accepted.

what about acommodation? You need to seperate docs into the four areas relationship finance acommodation language. we had two folder, one full of originals the others of copies, it added up to 44 pages. we printed off print screen of emails from one to the other . Photos can be pasted multiple on on...

She doesnt want to work because this means she will get benefits, this money isnt free for everyone, it is there to support those who really need it, if she is educated she can earn a lot more in a job then she can get in benefits. UK is cutting down benefits, there is no way they will give her more...

This happens a lot, its best to apply for a free schengen visa for the non eu spouse instead.

its 165 per week to prove she can support you, wait until someone else comments but you should have more saved up in the bank for at least 6 months. its getting strict theses days. can't she get a job?

My husbands 1 year schengen visa will be coming to an end and we want to get another visa and travel to Portugal. However, we have done a bit of research and we hae found out that we have to ring a premium number to book an appointment, at £1 a min. Of course we don't want to pay this fee, the visa ...

Yes I too agree with the point made, that GPs should have the right to ask for proof of residency but many GP recptionists dont have the correct training or incentive to include the many types of people we have living here in the UK, and still discriminate between people who are obviously foreign an...

But there are cases where asylum seekers do not have proof of residency as they are at the waiting stage, many wait for a decision for many years, thus they have the discretion to allow registration as they have papers from the home office.

By law you do not need to show visa status to register with a GP, there is no legal requirment for this but they will ask when you arrived here as they do not want health tourists. THey willl ask for proof of address and a form of photo ID, if the receptionists kick up a fuss speak to the practice m...

For future reference to others in the same position. there is now law that doctors have to ask for visa or passports. They only need and ID card and proof of address if you are in need of help always speak to the practice manager, the GP has discretion of who to register and the hippocratic oath mea...

Well if the estate agents are managing the property for the owner then the owner should have the floor plan, estate agents are not helpful most of the time but you must be persistant, these details are part of their job. Keep trying! UKBA does not care about the energy efffiency rating of a place bu...

Yes I was successful, your estate agents should have the floor plan, showing measurements of each room is important because each room that can be considered a bedroom must be larger then 50sq ft

Yeah I didnt submit a house report , I included a floor plan and a photo of each room and letter from landlord describing the property, tenancy agreement and council tax bill and service charge bill.

I gave in 6 months of bank statements from the bank that showed recent activity, I also inclded a letter explaining large amounts of deposits and incomings also. I also included a monthly excel sheet of incomings and outcomings to show rent + council tax and expenses expenditure

There must be more places giving courses you will need to search the names of the tests and type them in google depending on where you live and what cities are nearest to you, what visa are you on now? IELTS is the fastest to get results back to you.
