Hello, Just wondering whether anyone has recently applied for leave to remain recently. My husband applied to Durham on 23rd July (just two weeks ago), and am just wondering how long they are currently taking to deal with spouse applications. I appreciate each application may differ. Obviouslty as h...
Hi guys, hope you don't mind be jumping in here! My husband sent his SET (M) application by special delivery on Tues 23rd July. I had it tracked and it was received at Durham ILR Office at 8.20 am the next day. Its been two weeks today, and we still have not had an acknowledgement, althought I see f...
Morning everyone, Just a quick query! My husband's is currently on a 27 month spousal visa, which expires on 17th August this year. We are applying for ILR beforehand. However, he has just booked a holiday home to Cairo on 17th June until 5th July to visit his family, having not seen them since he c...
I need to double check with him, but I'm sure he has IDR. He came here and worked (no study at all), and I'm unsure as to whether he is registered with the HO.
Hi guys, My friend is applying for citizenship - he is from Czech Republic and has been resident here approx 9 years. He met and married his english wife 6 years ago and since have had two sons. Im helping him fill in the form and we are currently including the following:- His passport, Life In Uk T...
hi, I agree with Casa - I was christian but converted to islam in egypt a few days before our wedding took place. This was done at the main mosque in cairo and I was given a Certificate confirming my conversion. When I married a few days later, you are asked your religion, and I had evidence of this...
nightmare....just more work to do, but it will be worth it. My husband was very fortunate, he applied just before the english language test came into force and arrived in england luckily before the unrest started.
hi, my husband got his visa from cairo almost 2 years ago. I didnt actually send duplicate photocopies of anything...i simply send originals of everything and kept copies for myself. Our folder was similar to yours, although I did also include cards, weddings birthdays, fedex receipts, and my bank s...
hi, is that all you intend to submit for proof of communication? Its not actually proof of communication they need, but proof of a genuine relationship, a factor of which can proven my continuous contact. Have you flight tickets, boarding cards, skype chat, letters, photos etc. All of this will help...
thats good, at least you tried to put it right! Im unsure if it will affect your application, but at least you have been honest and rectified matters. That can only be a positive step. Your visa states you cannot have access to public funds, which you havent. Your husband is entitled to on his own, ...
if your husband claimed council tax benefit in his sole name, and forgot to advise that you were living with him, and the income you were bringing into the household was not been disclosed, then he has been committing benefit fraud, and most likely receiving more benefit that he would have been enti...
I note that you are working full time. were you working throughout the time your husband has been claiming job seekers and council tax benefit etc,a nd if so for how long?
After rent/mortgage, c/tax and loans you need £105.95 left per week. Savings are not hugely necessary but obviously it looks far better. I had £1500. Any dependents that live with you will also be accounted for, and you need to have approx £65 per week per child.
Im a bit confused...why doesnt the Post Office have your packet, when they are the ones who left a card telling you the tried to deliver it, and to collect it from them. Where do they say it is????
As it your application, only you need to fill in the form, not your wife. Your wife could write a letter to go with supporting docs, just explaining how you met, your relationship etc, that she will sponsor you etc etc if you wish. Not quite sure what you mean by post paid bill....but emails, skype ...
would her income as a non dependent living with her mother be necessary since they would need to assess how to adjust the mother's benefit? I thought that was how it was assessed
You normally need to send birth certificate. Try the HMRC Website Child Benefit Department, there should be a number to ring, and they'll be able to advise you h
Your mother has a legal duty to disclose that you live with her and what your income is, if she is claiming benefits. By not doing so, she is most likely receiving more than she is entitled to, and thereby committing benefit fraud. She needs to notify her local benefits office asap to rectify the si...
