People who are saying OP has no case with article 8, how do you know when OP has not said where he/she is from?

Ajmal what makes you say Op's application is not straight foward? Also requesting passports does not affect the COA application, Op what visa does your partner hold? You say you met when she was on visitor visa over a year ago, so assuming she returned to home country and came again on a different v...

The posts you are replying to are very old posts, are you a registered immigration adviser?

NiyaVatkova are you Bulgarian?

Apologies to David Walliams

Are you now divorced and which country are you from?

As previously posted its been taking 8 weeks lately so i can only assume you will recieve yours anytime now, unless if the HO is delaying again. was your application straight foward?

Which Country are you from, when did you come, what have you been doing since you came or how have you been surviving, have you ever used deception? have you got kids?

how old are you, what have you been doing in the last 8 years? how do you survive, are you married or got any kids? have you ever used any forged documents in the past?

Agreed.

Agree with Thandia, applying in SA in person is quicker than from Zim.

Are you meant to wait till the last day on your visa before applying???

You dont have to wait till last day but dont have to have 3 months of visa left. I know people who have applied with 2 weeks left on visa,

COA has been taking 8 weeks to arrive lately, i got mine last friday and i know at least 4 pple who got theirs this week after exackly 8 weeks. So goodluck on that.

but apply not later than 3 months to the end of her Visa.

HRY2005 where did you get this info?

to show them that i am able to support myself with taking public funds

you need to seek advice from an oisc registered adviser or a solicitor specialising on immigration. Did you seek advice before he left and during the AIT proccess did you have some one representing you?

Hie Sam and people, My COA arrived same day as yours Sam, When i wrote my previous post i ddnt know i had an email from my Solicitor that it had arrived, only this morning i saw the email lol. So its taking about 8 weeks for straight foward applications. No affidavits where asked for in my case. Goo...

I have met him three times in 5 years.

So when is the wedding? Enjoy. Goodluck with your future p...

What type of visa?

If you from Zim then i think you might be able to apply under chikwamba but it aint an easy one either, to be honest i think you need a good lawyer/solicitor who specialises in immigration, or an oisc registered Adviser. Returning to apply from Zim aint that simple unless your case is very straight ...

On what grounds would you be applying for Discretionary leave, i believe its a difficult one to get and can take as many as two years and still get refused after all, Which country are you from and how long have you been on a student visa?
Does your lawyer specialise on immigration?

You would have to give more info for pple here to help you, can you quote all the reasons for refusal.

That one is complicated for me but im sure some board members here will help you as they always do, If not then get some advise from an immigration specialising solicitor or an OISC registered adviser.
