JUst a quick update on my situation : * the embassy replied to our e-mail / call acknowledging the error in the type of visa they gave my wife * the embassy "invited" my wife to the embassy in Abu Dhabi (2h by car from Dubai) and put the correct visa in her passport on the spot So, it soun...
Hi Guys, We have sent an email to the Abu Dhabi embassy explainign why we think that the visa that was given to my wife might be incorrect....i.e. instead of VISA SPOUSE/CP Name, it is VISA POST FLIGHT SPOUSE/CP Name... After calling them, they denied receiving the e-mail. We resent it. After callin...
Thank you for the info Vinny! I will check once again with her, but it definitely sounds like a mistake was made...I hope that it will be easy to correct it, if confirmed!
Hi Guys, I hope that you are all well! I am happy to report that my wife got a spouse visa in record time - applied last Tuesday and received it today - from Dubai! This forum has been very useful in terms of establishing a list of documents to submit, especially given that my case standard : became...
Yes, I checked with my accountant yesterday and he thinks that, for HMRC purposes, I am not self-employed, but an employee of my company.... Which makes tricky the filling in of section 3C as it is about "income from self-employment" with opening questions like "Was your sponsor self ...
Hi estirichy, Wanderer, Imshzd, Thank you very much for the detailed information and shared thoughts! It is very helpful. In my case, already a couple of times in the past I had to ask my accountant if I am supposed to declare myself as a self-employed person in front of HMRC, however his answer to ...
HI D4109125, Thank you for the link! I have already gone through the document, however the answers to the questions I raised do not strike me when I read it... I dont think that it describes what you need to put in the specific boxes of the Financial Requirement Form. In this sense, if you know the ...
Hi Guys, I hope that you are all well! After a month of hard work, I think that we are close to have all documents ready for the application for spouse visa for my wife. I have just looked at APPENDIX 2 (VAF 4A NOVEMBER 2012) FINANCIAL REQUIREMENT FORM and I have some questions about it. I fall in t...
Thank you for your feedback guys! Appreciated! I have decided to contract an advisor company for the application, in the hope that I can get/keep the Brisith citizenship and at the same time have a fast approval (no rejections) of my wife's visa.
Hi EUsmileWEallsmile (funny nickname btw!;-))... You are right..I got the UK citizenship because I was automatically entitled to one, because I have been living here for more than 6 years etc It also resolves a number of practical issues related to travelling outside of EU, proof of my status in UK ...

I have just received my approval for british citizenship. I still need to attend the ceremony on which I will receive the "certificate of British citizenship". I have a second nationality, from an EU country. My question is : my wife needs to apply for a spouse visa (with a British partner...
Thank you for the information guys! It sounds like it might be useful, in my particular case, to consult with a company specialised in this type of immigration issues. Can anybody recommend me one that is based in london ? I assume that it might be against the rules of the forum to post recommendati...
One of these immigration advisory companies...The message was : make up our mind if you want to apply for a British nationality, as if your wife comes on a EEA visa, and you then become British, she will have to leave the UK and apply for a "spouse visa of a British national"... dalebutt -...
Thank you SouthWest1 / Jambo! Very useful information! I was told that if she comes on EEA visa and then I get the British citizenship, the EEA visa will no longer be valid and that she will have to leave the country and apply for a "spouse visa of British person" from abroad...This is why...
