-: the answer is No!When she get a visa in Italy, is that valid in the UK?
As you can see, there's no possibility of getting married in Italy and applying from there as your girlfriend is not normally and legally living in Italy. So Japan it will have to be. The only record the UK immigration authorities will have of your girlfriend will be when she has entered the UK unless she has been subjected to one of these random exit checks that some people have mentioned on this forum. So hopefully all should go well when you apply for the permit from the UK embassy in Japan.You asked if a national of Japan needs a visa to come to the UK as a wife.
Yes, you need a visa.
Please read Guidance - Husbands, Wives and Partners for more information.
To apply for a visa you will need to fill in form VAF2 - Settlement.
If you are a national of, or are normally and legally living in Italy, please make your application to Rome.
Currently, applications are accepted only by post or agency. Personal callers will be seen only by appointment.
-: which of course is factually correct, but certainly not an absolute bar to getting into the UK ever again.failure to observe the time limit or conditions attached to any grant of leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom
They do not have to be convinced, they only need to be satisfied on the "balance of probabilities" in the immigration jargon. To be able to get a higher probability that their marriage was genuine, a lot more evidence should have been provided in support of that application. Previous "Overstaying" automatically reduces the probability casting on each piece of evidence, as you correctly noted.ilm wrote: some may say the ECO has been harsh, they really do have to be convinced.
The new application needs to go out of its way to prove that is not the case. And the mere passage of time since the marriage will help.neko wrote:....... but I am satisfied that it is a marriage of convenience
Your Italian permit is no use in the UK. Why have you not applied for Italian citizenship? Have you tried, and it's not possible?neko wrote:Hello, everybody! I am NEKO's wife.
Thank you so much for giving us a good advice last year, it was very helpful!!
but, we have not sorted out a visa problem, I would like to ask some questions again. Could you help us?
I married to an Italian boyfriend in Japan last year, but my application for EEA Family Permit was rejected, because of my overstaying in the UK for 3 years and half and UK embassy thought it was a marriage of convenience.
We've been in Italy since June 2006, and we would like to apply for EEA again, because we don't like a life in here..............
I think we can show the UK embassy that we are still together because we are real couple! and of course, we'll prepare lots of documents to prove that it wasn't a marriage of convenience.
but problem is, my husband gets some income from a little internet business, but he doesn't have a JOB, his parents support us.
I think this is a not very good situation to apply for EEA, and the UK embassy might think that we are real couple but husband can not support his wife in the UK and refuse again..........
What do you think about it?
When we were in the UK, my husband went to work from recruit agency, it wasn't a full time and everyday job, but had no problem for a living, and he was suppose to go back to the same job.
Do you think he has to get a job in here, and show them a payslip?
and one more question,
I got a Permit to stay in Italy valid until 2010, is this valid to enter the UK?
or Do I have to wait till I get a Permanent visa in Italy? or I have to apply for EEA Family Permit to go back to the UK anyway?
Could you guys give us any advice??
Thank you very much!
Grazie!
