hi RattlesnakeRattleSnake wrote:Do you currently have a job ? If no then maybe look to get a job or part time job ... that would instantly show them that you are able to work (as you will already be working)
Would your partner be looking to get a job if he arrives here ? Him looking to work once he arrives would also be of help surely ?
Good luck
hi...yes,im aware of the guideline...however the savings he had would have most definately have covered a 6 month visa!!!RattleSnake wrote:Maybe they worded it badly ? I would guess that they maybe think that you working part time will not provide enough money for you and your partner to live off .
The visa does require ...
The applicant must be able to support him/herself, or be supported by their partner, without access to public funds.
Did you send plenty of proof showing that you are able to support yourself and your partner without the need for public funds ?
That would be my guess as to what they mean by it .
Thank you,yes i know...im trying to stay positive (and objective on it all)RattleSnake wrote:There are a great many people that use sham marrages , fake colleges etc . It makes it much harder for legit people to get visas , it also makes the job for immigration officers so much tougher .
As long as you show plenty of evidence i am sure things will go ok and you and your partner will get that visa . Tell the ECO to put his/her glasses on when you lodge the appeal hehe
Good luck with your case . Please keep us updated as things move along .
oh no! ur poor sister....what happened to her is incredibly sad. Its good that u are using her story to let the world know that aswell as a few good guys,there are sum rotten!RattleSnake wrote:I have never made an application .
I am English and at my current age i have no interest in marrage and finding myself stuck with the same bird until i die so have never applied for any type of spouse visa .
Once i get to 55-60 years old i may be interested in a 20 year old Russian mail order bride ... as long as she cooks good and is happy to clean (i am clearly not sexist though and fully respect women !!! )
I have used this site to learn after my sisters involvement with a male . To cut a long story short ..
She met a guy 2 weeks before his visa ran out in the UK . He went back to Nigeria . My sister then went on holiday to "Cyprus" . Some time later i found out she had gone to Nigeria and married a guy none of us knew anything about .
His spouse visa was refused in Lagos because they lied saying they had been dating for 2 years , he could answer not questions about my sister because he did not know her that long ... the appeal in the UK saw my sister travel to London and tell the exact same lies ... they got the visa .
He arrived and all my sister knew of him is what he told her , he loved her (he would say that then ask her to send more money to Nigeria), he was a man of god , he respected women ..... on his 2nd weekend here he wanted to go out on a Saturday night to have gender with Polish "ladies of the night" that hung around in a local town . The marrage was quickly over .
Because of the above it makes it harder for genuine couples to get visas . Similar with fake colleges making it harder for genuine students .

it also nice that u can remain objective in light of everything
needless to say,im sure ur sister is well rid...it is never nice to be played. I agree with what ur saying,this does make it so much harder for genuine couples...
p.s. I hope u do find ur Russian laydee soon!!! Keep me updated
I've lived with my Russian partner for six years, ie not married, no rush, no obligations, her visa, nowt to do with me.RattleSnake wrote:My sister was old enough to know better ... she knew what was going on but i think she hoped that he would fall madly in love with her .
As she is a single mum i feel bad for the boy and not her .
I am only 30 so i have another 25-30 years until i look to marry my Russian babe *winks*
Wanderer likes the ladies huh ? 8)
wow your views on relationships are very depressing. Men yap tons btw!!!RattleSnake wrote:I was not taking the piss out of you Wanderer or anything like that with my comments in regards to mail order brides .
In regards to me ever getting married i see it as very unlikely , for a start it would mean i would have to spend half my life doing what someone else wants to do .. i would have to think about the feelings of said bird .. if it moved in bed it would wake me as would breathing noises . My dog would also get the sulk if a chick moved in .
The idea of a foreign marrage is kinda cool , if she did not speak English it would mean no yap .. lovely !!! . I may carry on my hunt for a mute bird
I think chicks are ok but males should never marry them . It is better to be "special friends" and avoid any type of relationship .
On a side note ... I just read that Conservatives are planning a 75% drop in immigration .
My views on relationships are great . With so many divorces and people cheating on each other , why not live lives in which all commitments are null and void until you are 50+ years old ? It is a good life to live !! .boulevardofbrokendreams wrote:wow your views on relationships are very depressing.

sidenote- I think it was you who posted the youtube video of your dog. Is your dog a staffy? looked like one to me.
I have a puppy he's a mutt with some staff in there. Staffies are so cute!!
I think we need a translator to try and understand what you are trying to say...immigrationuk2009 wrote: Well back to topic then see dog pictures...
