It makes no difference, as long as the things which need to be mentioned are mentioned. And before Q4sim asks, I would like to say in advance that, its ok to use blue, black or any other kind of ink. Its ok to use a ball point or a fountain pen. Its also perfectly ok if someone uses a typewriter or...
[quote="mrlookforward"]A spouse visa is a settlement visa. Not all settlement visas are spouse visas, but all spouse visas are settlement visas. So, in a nutshell, again, a spouse visa is a settlement visa. If you call it spouse visa, its ok If you call it settlement visa, its ok. If you c...
Thanks everyone for getting back to me regarding that question. I am definitely going to tick "YES" and attach photographs of ourselves and plane tickets of when we travelled together. I cannot say I was living with her as it goes against what actually happened. My wife left her home and m...
8.4.12 Have you lived with your sponsor in a relationship like a marriage or civil partnership at any time (including since a wedding or civil partnership ceremony)? Hey everyone, just a quick question regarding the above. The place we stayed in was at my parents home in Pakistan. It says provide ev...
Hey everyone. As the sponsor, where would you put the photocopies of the pages showing entry/exit stamps to Pakistan? Do you think I should include it together with my BIO data page which is located under the "Sponser" section or in another section which I have titled "Relationship an...
I would normally reccommend that you put a date about 8 weeks after you have lodged your application. This is because it takes on average 8 -12 weeks to get visa. Once you have got visa most people like to fly to UK starightaway, but those who dont want to can delay their travel for a maximum of 3 ...
q4sim, if you wish for your wife to travel immediatley after the visa is issued then just put a couple of weeks ahead from when you submit the application. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is more for people who want to travel at some future time after the application is submitted, say you submitt...
i wrote ' As soon as Possible ' on my husband's application. "On which dates do you wish to travel to the UK" The above is the second question on the VAF 4A application form. My wife is intending to travel as soon as she gets her visa but we obviously do not know the date that this will b...
Write "No, but if required to do so then I will work" This is so just in case something happens to you and are not able to work, then your wife might have to in order to support her self as you are not allowed to claim benefits for her......jsut to be on safe side Thanks for clearing that...
"8.6.7 - Do you intend to work in the UK" My wife intends to come to the UK to live me with me. The next step would be to possibly study before she considers working. What would the safest thing be to write here? Safe would be to write no Batleykhan, your views on this matter would be gre...
Yes 8 weeks seems the norm these days or it could take slightly longer. Inshallah you will hear positive news within this time frame.
Out of curiosity, what did you get refused on last time?.
My wife intends to come to the UK to live me with me. The next step would be to possibly study before she considers working. What would the safest thing be to write here?
Thanks faiz79. I would check them out but they are in Birmingham.
Anyone know any places in South London that carry out housing inspection reports for a reasonable price?
I called Property link, and they have quoted me £150. They will let me know if they can come out to me by tomorrow. You do have to convince the ECO that the property will not be overcrowded and a housing report is a way to do this. The other way as Batleykhan stated would be to do it yourself. Eith...
Ok, I have found a place that seems very credible for a housing inspection report. There website address is the following:-http://www.hygenisys.com/ Price is about £225 + VAT My local estate agents have never heard of this report and my council no longer does it. I have decided to go ahead and get ...
Hi everyone, Just to let you know that my Local Council does not know what a property inspection report for immigration purposes is. They have the following written on their website:- http://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/info/200077/private_housing/142/improving_private_housing/6 Neither does estate agents ...
It seems that more and more people are using lyca and lebara mobile to contact their loved ones abroad. This is good as it does leave you with call history unlike phone cards at a decent-ish price. My issue is the following:- I have over 150 pages of call records emailed to me by lebara mobile in a ...
Hey everyone, I've been reading the old posts and have found some very useful information. However, was wondering if anyone can answer this:- I am using lebara mobile to call and text my wife in Pakistan. They have emailed me my call history, if I print this out, will it be acceptable as proof? Or w...
Hey everyone, I'm working on the photograph section of the app form. I have various photos printed out of us together. I am thinkking of stapling the photos onto A4 pieces of paper, maybe 2 photos per page or 3 if I can fit it. Is this fine? I feel stapling is better then glueing them on. What did e...
Thank you Zak, I really appreciate your help. Any docs or letters that you can send me would be greatly helpful. I appreciate you saying that your advice might not be 100% correct, but mashallah your wife got the visa so you must have done something right. :) I'm obviously going to read what you sen...
