Hi Guys, I currently work for Unilever and have been working here for just over 2.5 years (1 yr PSW and 1.5 years Tier 1 General). However, my contract is with Manpower (they pay me) and I am basically a contractor working for Unilever (hope that makes sense). My Tier 1 visa is about to expire 1 st ...

Assuming the refusal letter was received today and has been given 10 days to submit an appeal, if you do not appeal then your wife will become an overstayer from 16-Jul and should exit UK within 28 days from then on, to ensure that the overstay has no affect on the entry clearance application. Tech...

As per my understanding, she will not be considered as overstayer till 28 days from the date of her refusal letter. If she returns home within that period than it will be alright. And you are right in thinking the reason for her refusal. In plain words, her visa category doesn't allow her to switch...

1. Make sure that your wife answers "yes" to the question in the entry clearance form that asks if the applicant has ever had a leave to remain application refused. 2. Make sure that your wife mentions in the same form that she has ever overstayed in the UK. I'll make sure she answers YES...

Whether you wish to or wish not to, there is no point in appealing the decision since immigration rules do not allow your wife to switch to PBS dependant, something that you are / were ignorant of. Likewise, with regards to "grace period of 28 days", ignorance of rules cannot be blamed on...

Yes it has been.

Can you please help? Gladly, but only when the facts are known will anyone be able to suggest something. So, post them after you have read the refusal letter. Hi just got to read the letter. Info on the letter. This is only part of the letter. We have considered your application on behalf of the Se...

Hi guys, We just received a rejection letter from the visa office. They didn't reject the application because it was applied from inside the country, but for some other reasons (this is what my wife told me, shes gone to work now). I don't have the letter with me right now, I need to go home and rea...

Hyper can you tel me "when and where did your wife applied for her visa". manish... we applied for it in the UK (address is on the UK border agency website). We both live and work here. But apparently a dependent visa should be applied from your country of citizenship, which in our case i...

So Hyper has your wife received a visa from India. If yes how long it took her to get????? Manish...she still has not received her passport and other documents. We contacted the visa office 2 - 3 times and they said that our application hasn't yet been looked into. It is kind of strange because the...

She is obliged to mention this refusal on the next visa application form. 6.3 Have you ever been refused a visa for any country including the UK? ...... Her answer is no (because this was not a visa application - visas are only emitted outside the UK) 6.8 Have you made an application to the Home Of...

Thanks a lot for all your quick replies. We just have to re apply from India. :'( !

Is this true that one cannot apply from inside the UK?............ Yes Is there anyway I can challenge them? ...........No (or rather, yes you can try but it won't succeed). If she leaves within 28 days of the refusal she might even be allowed back as leaving any later will result in a one year ban...

Hi, I hope you guys could help me. My wife and I have been living in the UK for over 3 yrs now. We both came here to study, and then applied for PSW to extend our stay. I later applied for Tier one general and got my application approved, where as my wife still continued to stay here on her PSW (whi...
