Thank you all of you for your kind words!

Still in shock

Inshallah he will be here next week!

Hello All, I just wanted to let you all know (those who have been following) our story. Today, after a 14 week wait (71 working days) my husbands UK Spouse Visa was granted. We are so happy!!! I want to thank all those on here who have shown such support to us through this long wait. I also wanted t...

Sweet missy, I see its with the courier! At last...I bet you won't be able to sleep tonight, bless you. No doubt you'll update us all tomorrow x Thank you STLewis... This will be the longest 24hrs of our lives... FINALLY!!! the waiting is over! My MP got invovled too :D they contacted the UKBA toda...

Thank you so much...

Feels like a lifetime...

Dont know what to feel though..

Both ways really... we only used one, because my hubby was an overstayer in the UK, and we wanted to get legal advise.

The cost in total, including visa fees:

£1,700

Many people use lawyers and many go it alone. Each case is rewarded on its own merit, regardless of legal help or not.

No problem!

If that is what the UKBA states in their guidelines, then do that! we used and immigration lawyer who put our application together, so they may have done the photocopying.

Any other questions, dont hesitate to ask!

Don't worry about boarding passes... I just printed off the booking confirmation from email. They said that was fine. With regards to tickets to museums, not that important really, you have the photo's already... don't over bulk. Birth certificate is not nessesary as you are submitting a copie of yo...

Just one bit of advise... with regards to your phone bills and text messages. It is worth calling your provider to get them to send you itemised versions of your bills.. this way you can highlight, and the document is an original. I know nowadays you can print off your bills, but i was advised by ou...

Yes SS27.

As one of the resons they certify is they confirm the person in the photo of your passport is in fact you.

A solicitor will not certify a passport, without the person being there.

Either way it is better to over certify than not yes?

I'm the British citizen, the girl I'm marrying is in Pakistan. Is the A1 test sufficient for the English language requirements for the settlement VISA? Also in terms of the documents to send, I need my passport and driving license, so I'll get that attested. But do I need to send attested copies of...

Hi Casa & every body, Out of the Curiosity, i heard that once you apply for a spouse visa, the immigration officials visits your home and work place. Is that correct ? and i also heard they ask some stupid personal questions, Is that correct ? One more thing i want to say " My bro is a gen...

Sorry to hear that Zara01.. My thoughts are with you.

Please if you can, please right the ACTUAL refusal on here, then people can best advise you what to do next.

Hope things will be ok for you both inshallah.

Vinny is correct.

I worked for major UK airline at Healthrow, and we had plenty of passengers traveling using 2 passports

Never caused them a problem.

You will be fine.

Good Luck with it all Hredderson!

You have answers on your previous thread 'Bank Account

One bit of advice also... If you have any sudden large amounts being put into your account, it is always helpful to the ECO to know what this is from, then they don't think the money has been put in for immigration purposes. For instance, I sold my car for £800 pounds, two months before my hubby an...

You know i have never found any table of such on a website... I have to say, someone else was asking the same question the other day and this information was verified by a moderator 'Casa' They just look at the monthly outgoings, and work out after that. They are not looking how much is spent in the...

Hi there, Your hubby needs to show on his monthly statement at least: after rent, bills and loans (all monthly ongoing payments) he has £105.95 per week. this is enough to support him and you. For instance after my monthly outgoings I have approx £700.00. Does that help? If he has any savings too ...

Congratulations!!!!

How long did you have to wait?

There are many threads on here that will help with regards to your question, also the home office website will also tell you what is required of you.

Good Luck!! and welcome to the UK (when you get here)

Not everyone is refused for overstaying. Each case warrants its own merit! A spouse visa cannot be refused only on the fact the individual overstayed, there are usually other factors that go with this to determine a refusal. If you read Spouse Visa and Overstay you will see many success stories, whe...

UK Visa and Immigration are very good, very helpful and you can have a free web chat with an advisor.

You need a lawyer. My friend applied for a settlement visa for her partner who is from Libya. According to the law they were supposed to be living together for 2 years, but they've been together for a year. They brought evidence of geniuness of their relationship from lots of friends, and both of h...

Hi, My husband was an overstayer of 9 months after entering the UK on a visit visa.. We were told that the only way to do this correctly, was for us to marry in his home country (which we did) and he had to apply from his home country for UK spouse Visa. My hubby has been in his home country for nea...

Also just a thought...

He would have supplied all the relivant documentation with the correct informaion on:

middle name on passport

nationality

Like BatleyKhan says, they can't refuse on two questions

What was the exact reason for their refusal?

And under what grounds did your future husband apply for assylum?

This may help people advise where they can.
