Re: Do we need a general visa or family visa?

The proof of family income is not mandatory; it`s merely asked for in case the UK-based family member is sponsoring (in a financial sense) 'poor relations' who have no independent means of their own. (This is a very common situation for people who actually need to pre-apply for a visit visa because ...

Re: Sister Immigration

You and your parents can't live in the UK on the basis of your sister. You would all need to be physically or mentally incapacitated to the extent that none of you could bathe or prepare meals, or were in need of constant medical attention, and the provision of help or care to alleviate these condit...

The overstay in the USA will not bar her from applying from Pakistan, but it may flag an investigation into the genuine nature of the marriage and intervening devotion during your relationship. How have you maintained a relationship during all of this time? To a casual observer, she is a opportunist...

Re: UK Spouse Visa, Illegal resident in USA

UK visa applications may only be submitted in countries where the applicant has a valid immigration status for residence (inc being a national of that state). So, your fiance cannot apply from the USA if her status is not regularized. It is not clear from what you have stated if she is a legal resid...

Re: Apply to remain in the UK with family

It says that I need 6 months visa left on my current visa, No, it does not. It means that your current visa must not have been for a grant of six months or less. Effectively, all visit visas are issued for six months so this rule bars visitors from switching. In your case, as a migrant worker, you ...

Re: Visit visa 6 months statement or less can work?

Six months is a suggestion rather than a mandate. The overall circumstances of the applicant are reviewed and if no evidence of a risk to immigration is found, the visa will be granted. I can't see how a doctor working in an EEA Member state, who provides good evidence of his social and economic tie...

You will not be seen at the PEO if you apply sooner than that. If you apply by post the date of posting will be considered as the date of the applic...

Re: Right of access to child questions

Whether you separate or divorce, if the relationship is broken your leave as a partner will no longer be valid. In such circumstances you must change your leave to child access. This can be done inside the UK.

You photocopy everything (effectively as a file backup). The reason they ask for photocopies is based on the notion that you will be providing originals that must be returned. They don't want the time and expense of copying your material to retain for their files so they place that burden upon the a...

The refusal of the visa was correct but your son should have been given a limited leave to remain visa in line with your wife's extant leave. Aside from that, he is entitled to apply for BC subject to the process of registration, but you can't expect the visa mission in his country to take that into...

Re: RE> Visa

Is this for work or study? If it's work then I suspect you will not be eligible for any visa (and have to passover this opportunity) as there is no work intern visa under UK immigration rules unless it's one of the approved organizations as defined in the Tier 5 guidance.

Yes, if you know each other well enough to marry and she has no ties to her homeland that are worth maintaining at this time in her life. You say you met her twice in ARG; has she ever been to the UK to know that it's a place where she might be happy?

Sure, if you marry that will automatically confirm her status as your partner. Otherwise, as things stand currently, she should be granted a general UK visit visa if she has good ties to her home.

There is no girlfriend visa. She can visit you but that will be limited to six months with no work permitted. If after six months you want to make a commitment she can leave and re-enter as your fiancee (with the correct visa) and you can marry and she can stay. It's worth bearing in mind that if sh...

Your relatives could come too (not just those of your partner) but it seems that don't qualify based on what you have said. But that is only going on the snippets you have posted here. You should have an in-depth discussion with an immigration professional rather than asking for tips on a forum.
