If you can fully substantiate a 2 year cohabitation, then before. Otherwise after.

What do I need to do to have her included on my WP? Do I need to apply for the whole WP from scratch again? Your first step would be to inform the company sponsoring your WP, and they can amend your WP to include a dependent. It's all very straight-forward and simple *IF* your dependent has a clean...

Absolutely. But they claimed they never had it. I am going to have to think this one over for a bit, I can't imagine where they would hold on to a passport for 6 years...

You will be surprised how fast I am settling in at work although I can’t cope with the loneliness at home without you around, Spalding has been very...

Is Decree Nisi sufficient for application purposes? or does it HAVE to be the Absolute?? :?: Decree Absolute is not required. The ECO needs to be reasonably comfortable that your divorce will be completed within the 6 month fiance period. In the ideal case, one of the attachments to her application...

Bit difficult to do when your infinitely better & more beautiful half is 3 K away :roll: . Seems this is aimed at people who have got together in another country before coming to England. A surprising number switch to UP from work permits and student visas, and it's a viable immigration path. O...
