So all she can do really is state her case and supply the new supporting docs, and all I can do is sit in the lobby and answer any questions

and pray, alot.

And the Ticket was £700, would one laywer conciltation really be more than that ??

Is it worth getting a immigration lawyer on standby to council her in the interview ? for the money that would cost you she might as well lose the money you paid for the flights and apply again for the visit visa. Given that she is coming to visit her boyfriend especially they may consider that she ...

Also she is flying from South Africa, could she go to the British High Commission in Pretoria and do a same day application there ?

She applied for a general Visitor VISA, she was refused on the grounds of insufficiency funds to cover her stay and not enough reason to return. Since then she has got a credit card and upped her bank balance as well as getting a letter of appointment from her new employer on a company letterhead ...

There simply isn't enough time left, she flies in just over a week and won't get her passport back in time.

My Girlfriend is a Namibian Citizen on a Namibian Passport. She is flying over in a week to stay with me for 4 months before her next job starts. She applied for a sponsorship visa and was DENIED. We have already bought the ticket, I have spent tons of money on my flat to make it liveable for a girl ...

All I can say is thank you God, the big man had my back, life can finally go on. To everyone applying under the new rules, my heart truly goes out to you and I wish you all nothing but the best.

I am going to the delivery office to pick up the letter now, I am so stressed I can barely type. This whole system is crazy, have been here 7 years, worked hard, paid taxes with no access to public funds, have not been on benefits in any country ever, worst thing I ever did was a parking ticket and ...

As I understand it, under the old rules pre April your financial requirements where only that you where economical active and self sufficient, while under the new rules you are required to earn considerably more in some cases than you did at the start of your employment. Is this correct or am I ...

Hi Guys, my ILR letter is at the post office, picking it up on Thursday. I applied under the old rules "thank God" I have not left the county once since I got my Work Permit (5 Years) I have not had any trouble with the law I am still with the same employer and my company wrote a letter explaining ...

I had a liability order for council tax, had a big fight with them over not picking up my garbage. It has been paid in FULL. Do I have to declare it with my ILR application ?

It's highly unlikely I would get anything but a caution, the police simply don't care about anything but a commercial grow operation. Either way to be safe I have stopped smoking "sigh" and given away my very rare and expensive seedling. Wish they would just legalize it, all this hassle over ...

Just out of pure curiosity, would a Caution for Cannabis Use or Cultivation hurt a ILR application severely ? I don't have one but I do smoke very occasional, and was wondering what would happen if I got cautioned. Save the speeches about how bad it is, I'm not 12 and I know better :) Alcohol and ...

I have never used or asked for any public funds, I work for a living. Thank you so much for that, I feel a lot better, the thought of my life being changed so quickly by forces outside of your control and against my will is just scary.

Right Now I take home about £268 a week after tax, which is plenty for me to live comfortably on. I can easily get 3 months wage slips. I have not been out of the country at all since I started. I have been with the same employer for 5 years and am so well liked I could basically write my own r ...
