If you browse this forum, you will see that homeoffice rejected spouse visas even when sponsor salary was only few hundreds short. I am not expert but I don't think you qualify for Human rights either otherwis...

My mate said there maybe flaws in the application and her salary may not be the required amount anyway. So in a situation like this could a person still win appeal? How can citizen advice bearaue help? I am not sure if you can present evidences, at the appeal process, which you didn't provide at th...

UKBA takes these issues very seriously and I do not think they will put this as a reason on a refusal letter. If they do then it will be very stupid of them as they are supposed to protect you and not expose to danger. However, it could be that they do not get to read your letter before they make de...

CCJ and Defaults do not affect your ILR application and even your British Citizenship. All you have to do is provide a proof that you have agreed a payment plan with your creditor and provide proof of it. I have first hand experience of reviewing an application of a person who had CCJ (£10K outstand...

Can any fully qualified ACCA (with over 3 years of experience) can do it or does it have to be an Accountant from an accountancy firm? My accounts are handled by an independent ACCA accounta...

I was just reading financial requirements document on ukba site and came across self-employed - limited company based in UK. How is this different from salaried employment as a Director and share holder of the company? Do I need to provide these evidences as well? Thanks 5.5.4 In respect of self-emp...

Thanks for clarification.

I want to confirm that can I use dividends towards satisfying 18,600 income requirement? I have tried to find the answer in ukba guide but couldn't understand if dividends of the company you are running counts or not.

Just want to add that I am on Tier 1 dependent, in case that makes any difference.

Hi I currently have PBS(dependent) visa, issued in May 2011. My spouse have switched to ILR earlier this year and I am now transferring to FLR(M). As I had a leave to remain as a dependent before 9th July 2012 so I do not need to meet minimum salary criteria. However, I want to know that do I still ...

15 Working days have password and still waiting for the passport.

Called HO numerous times and the only reply I get is that wait for 20 working days before inquiring.

Ridiculous, can't understand why returning a passport can take that long!!!!

Thanks for clarifying.

My PBS dependent visa will run out 2 months before completing the 2 years period.

I believe I will have to wait for new law to come in to force and then seek clarification on this?

Apologies I did not understand the answer correctly. Just to confirm I will have to wait 5 years before I could apply for ILR? If that is the case then the period I have stayed on PBS dependent then will that be counted towards probationary period? We have been married for over 5 years if that makes...

Hi I am currently on PBS dependent visa (since April 2011) and my husband has ILR (granted Jan 2012). We did not know that I need to switch to FLR(M) so I remained on PBS dependent. My visa is valid till Feb 2013. I need to travel to my home country due to family emergency so I understand that I wil...

Thanks a lot. I have read through the document and have following questions: 1) Following text is taken from page 17 - I want to ask that does this mean that if I return after more than 6 months then I am still eligible as I have built up 10 years of continuous residence (09/2001 - 09/2011) prior to...

We did not know that if I leave the country then I cannot come back to UK on my current dependent visa. I ...

Hi My wife applied for her ILR on 10years residency basis on Friday. We had a family emergency on Saturday so we need to travel abroad ASAP. I want to findout what is best and quickest way to get her passport back. As they are going to recieve her application on Monday so there is no point of paying...

By £1700-1800 overdrawn.

We do have debts and make minimum payments which are around £350/month.

I have a travel cost of around £470/month.

We do not send any money abroad or give to any one else.

Childcare cost is around £1600.

Thats £100 left off overdraft.

We dont have savings but have an account overseas which will have around £200 balance.

We have been living together for past 5 years and have been maintaining ourselves without any benefits. Will this go in our favour in any way?
