This is about European legislation and the UK's interpretation thereof, specifically regarding British nationals who are using their right of free movement to bring their non-EEA spouses to the UK under the Surinder Singh route.saf786 wrote:Congratulations to those who have been granted![]()

I sent this link earlier ... Duno if anybody read it but I think it's linked to the hearing maybe ?
Thanks for the advice HELLO786.HELLO786 wrote:abdulraheem123 wrote:Asalamualaykum all
Has anyone got any advise about the following situation,
If i am looking to go Pakistan to get married in 3 months time and if I will be also applying for the visa straight after the marriage while i am still in Pakistan then what evidence of a subsisting marriage can be shown as we will have only been married for like 1 or 2 weeks? (apart from showing the wedding photos which i will do)
As its also an arranged marriage, do you think the immigration officer would expect to see evidence of contact before we got married while i am still in UK?
Walaikam Asalaam
Wedding photos of nikah, and nikah nama translated etc will suffice.
As long as you mention in ur application form it is arrange as there is an option in the form
My cousin applied this way and it was fine..
I would however add in some photos of use perhaps out and about sightseeing or at a restaurant , something to show them your genuineMaybe even a copy of ur ticket showing them how long u plan to stay and spend time with her (if you r staying after the marriage too that is)
People have applied in the same way as you with limited evidence of marriage as they applied straight away so dont worry and all the best!
I think it's jus frustrating that they haven't kept us updated they are playing with people's futures here, will b going to see mp on sat inshallah hope he can help, my employment letter confirmed I earned over the threshold however my wage slips didn't tally up because I took a long break in employment and have to travel a lot with work.. Will also b 2 nd anniversary for my Nikah completely understand how u feel.. I think were guna wait another maybe and then withdraw as hubby needs to return to work by 31st may so inshallah really am hoping we hear something soon[/quote]tallojani wrote:Don't worry in sha Allah, you'll hear from them very soon!

Thanks for sharing your story and congrats, am pleased finally you reunite with your daughter and wife. It really is a miracle by Allah swt and a lesson for us all, folks please the almighty Allah and we all will get what is behter for us.sumairc wrote:Hi All,
I would like share my experience.
I applied for my wife and daughters Visa on the 22nd of April, 2013. I was a self employed when I applied and after good 6 months on the 6th of November we were told that our case is on hold due to the case in European Court. During the 6 months I tried everything I could involved the MP sent them emails, letters, fax and what not. The reason for putting the case on hold was that they did not agree to the earnings I submitted with the application.
To sum up the reason, that they do not have discretion at all. for what I understand they have simple check boxes if all are provided they grant the Visa. In my case I could not provide them with 12 months UK bank statements as I was outside the country in the first 3 months, though I did submit my statements from abroad and the I was fulfilling the Financial requirements within the last 6 months of my time in UK. I think I shouldn't have applied then.
Upon my discussions with the lawyers they suggested to withdraw the application, so I did.
Anyways Later I switched to a Salaried Employment, waited 6 months applied again in on 5th Feb, 2014 from Islamabad and guess what within a week got the RFC and the visa was stamped.
During the time I was away from my wife and daughter it struck to me quite heavily that it is beyond our control, all we can do is submit the application to the best of our knowledge and wait. I turned to Allah during the time they were away for the first time in my life properly. He answered our prayers otherwise getting RFC within a week is nothing less than a miracle considering the backlog BHC has in Pakistan. Now when I look back I staying away for almost an year from family made me connect to Almighty and I am thankful for that.
For the people applying or have applied as self-employment or even salaried employment make sure you go through the requirements mentioned in laws and policy guidance notes on UKBA website, make sure nothing is missed.
I hope and pray all the people waiting to re-unite with their loved ones are granted the visa's quickly.
