Very briefly my boyfriend was removed from the country 5 months ago after being refused asylum. He is Albanian. He is applying for a visitor visa to come and stay with me for six months (we know he has next to no chance of getting this but we are trying anyway). We cannot apply for a fiance visa because I am still married. We thought we had all the relevant documents and information ready for his interview which is next week on the 22nd but today he has rung me in a panic because he has been informed that there are other things he needs. We thought that all he needed was his passport, a copy of my passport, his birth certificate, his bank statements (as he will be supporting himself financially) and an invitation from myself stating our relationship etc... as well as proof of our relationship. Now he tells me he needs a copy of my passport signed by a solicitor, contract of my employment plus my wage slips and proof of where he will be staying when he comes here, all signed by a solicitor. If he comes here he will be staying with me in my mum's home so how can I show proof of this? Also, how do I get these things signed by a solicitor? Do I have to make a special appointment because as you can see I must get these things sent to him in the next two days. Please help.
yes its all changed! you need your passport copy certified by a solicitor + everything else must be either original or certified................you should get a letter from your mum saying you will be staying there or letter from her landlord saying its ok with them that you both stay there + a copy of tenancy/mortgage agreement.
For the employment bit..................just send a copy of a contract if you have one, if not get your employer to write a letter saying your current salary, how long you been there etc and just provide your bank statements in with it all.
I am going to be honest with you.....your boyfriend has virtually no chance of getting this visa, he claimed asylum
(WAS THIS UNDER HIS REAL NATIONALITY AND IDENTITY?) + was then removed, now he wants to apply for a visit visa, the embassy will probably look at it with wide eyes and say its refused cos they dont believe he will return to albania + the money in his bank account is not his or it was illegally earned in uk! <<<<<< IVE BEEN THERE THREE TIMES with my ALBANIAN husband, he has been refused 3times now, once was when we werent married (visit visa) next was when we were married (family visit visa) and third was just a month ago ( settlement for uk) ALL HAVE BEEN REFUSED,,,,,I hate this country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope that you have every success going but with these situations you have to be strong, dont let it rip you apart, hopefully in the end everything will be ok. who is your boyfriend>where is he from in albania>>>?
good luck hun xxx
