As I have posted in another thread, my husband's application was approved today and his visa has been issued. Here is our timeline; 8th March 2011 - Applied online for settlement visa 21st March 2011 - Biometric appointment 22nd March 2011 - Sent off supporting documents to NYC consulate 31st March ...

Got an email today from the LA consulate stating that they have received out application and it is currently being processed. Only problem is that it could take up to 50 working days

Thanks for you reply Carla. We got an email last night telling us that we had sent the docs to the wrong consulate. The docs should have been sent to the LA office and not the NYC one :x Even though I did email them to confirm what office to send the docs too :x They have kindly sent our stuff onto ...

I am my husbands sponsor and I do not have a job due to being in the later stages of pregnancy. We have just applied recently and our savings are around £6k. Thanks alanakaja1980, Please let me know how you get on. Good luck. Are you already settled in UK? I am returning with my wife and children ...

We never got a housing inspection report. We will also be staying at my Mum's house. We submitted a letter from my Mum confirming that we can stay at the property rent free, a few pictures of the house, her mortgage statement, her council tax statement and a utility bill.

Is there anyone else on here that has recently applied for a settlement visa within the USA? My husband sent off his supporting docs to the BC-G NYC office and they were received early morning on Saturday 26th March. He has already completed his online application and has done his biometrics. I was ...

She cannot fly straight back after the wedding unless it's as a visitor. For her to settle in the UK with you she has to apply for a settlement visa in her home country. So either you both stay in DR until her visa is approved, or you fly back to the UK alone and she follows once her visa is approv...

One

When would she need that settlement visa? Before she travels to UK to live with you (long term or permanently). would she need it before we are married so its ready for when she comes An application for entry clearance as "spouse" can only be made after you two are married. e UK[/url]. I ...

My husband who is applying in USA for his spouse visa has sent my original passport along with an uncertified photo copy of the bio-data page.

Thought I would keep you all updated on our situation. I am still unemployed on jobseekers allowance and am currently 26 weeks pregnant. I have over £6000 in savings account. My husband is still currently working in the USA. Tomorrow I will be sending all the supporting documents over to my husband...

Thanks Batleykhan. That's what I thought. The main reason for transferring the money is that my savings account accrues interest every month which will help more than it does now when sitting in his US account doing nothing but accruing monthly charges :roll: Also does my husband have to provide cop...

I have just re-read the maintenance guidelines and I think I may have found the answer to my question :oops: Maintenance may be provided by either: The applicant with their own funds or with funds available to them; or The sponsor; or A combination of applicant and sponsor funds ; or Third party sup...

From today my husband will start transferring around 95% of his earnings from his US bank account to my UK bank account. He is the sole earner. As I stated in a previous post, I am currently unemployed on jobseekers allowance and am currently 24 weeks pregnant. The main reason for the transfers is s...

Yip you will just have to live apart for a while I'm afraid. My husband went back to Alaska 2 weeks ago and it's been a nightmare for both of us to be apart. Hopefully we will be back together in just over a month or so. It's difficult but it's just one of they sacrifices you have to make

Also, once we are ready to submit his application I will let you all know what documents we are sending and will keep you all informed of the process and outcome.

Ok so here is our situation in full: At the beginning of March my husband (US citizen) will eventually apply for his settlement visa. I am his sponsor and I am the BC. By March we will have all the possible supporting documents gathered and ready to be sent away. I am currently unemployed (even thou...

Probably.

I thought so. Thanks

My mum is willing to provide my husband and I additional financial support if we need it. What supporting documents will we need to provide to show this when my husbands sends his documents away for his settlement visa? I am assuming that they will be roughly the same documents as I will be providin...

Well when my husband applies for his spouse visa in the USA he will be sending a normal copy of my passport with his supporting documents. I very much doubt they will reject his application because he didn't provide a certified copy of my passport?? We have already went through a similar process fo...

Does anyone have a draft of a letter for 3rd party financial support for a spouse visa application? My mother is happy to give us financial support if necessary. I'm not really sure how I would put that into a letter though.

Thanks guys for your input/advice :D Since writing my initial query, my husband has already managed to speak to someone who would be willing to offer him work in his private business on his return to the UK. So would a headed letter from him stating the above be sufficient? I am assuming the ECO may...

I would also like to add that we are and will be in the near future staying with my Mum at her house rent free. Is there any guidelines regarding third party support? My Mum has a secure permanent job and she is willing to provide support if required.
