But he is not related to me, as he is my best friends brother.
What shall I write on the settlement form where it say "8.4.10 are you and your sponsor related outside marriage?" .
They might check & say that on the visit visa it say he is my cousin, also the visit visa got rejected & went to court here in the UK, the outcome was allowed he came to the UK in Jan 2010. (I'm was the sponsor)ElenaW wrote:put "no."Yas2010 wrote:I'm applying for a settlement visa, I have a little problem that is in 2008 I applied for him to Visit the UK I send the document, but on the form I put down that he was my cousin.

Yeah! that was deception, which could become a serious issue if it comes to the ECO's discovery. Sponsoring someone(previously sponsored as cousin) now as a spouse might be hard to explain to the ECO unless they are from a country where cousins do marry each other.batleykhan wrote:it's that he isn't actually related to her but she was previously granted a visitor visa (after appeal) on the basis that she was sponsoring him as a cousin.
Ok i will write he is my distant cousin on the fourm. AlsoHRY2005 wrote:If you say NO, there would be questions on your previous sponsorship as a cousin. In my opinion, you should say YES and I dont think it should be a problem as cousins are allowed to marry each other in Pakistan.
The problem is really on the previous application where you claimed to be cousins. To have a successful application, I believe you have only 2 options:
1. Maintain that he is your cousin(cousins are allowed to marry in Pakistan anyway and he could be a distant cousin.)
2. Take the risk and tell the ECO the truth as your past deception might not be a serious issue on a spouse visa. See paragraph 320(7B &7C) or here
Wait for some more advice from the senior members or the mods and I would also suggest you consult an expert solicitor for a proffessional advice.
Good luck
