spouse visa

hi i will be applying spouse visa soon, as i was uk illegally, for almost 7 years before immigration arrested me and released me as i was in relation with my partner who is british, my question is if they ask me whether i was working should i say yes or no, although they never caught me working. again i had conviction of driving without valid licence which i was fined, will this affect my spouse visa application.

You need to tell the truth in the application. You're unlikely to be refused due to working illegally, but you face a ban if you withhold information or submit a false declaration in your application.

but they dont have evidence that i was working the never caught me working so how can i tell them i was working.

They may question how you maintained yourself. They may also consider 320(11).

How do you know they don't have the evidence?
They may have but choose not to use it at this time.
Do you really want to endanger your visa by telling lies?

I agree with the senior members of this forum. It is best to be truthful when putting any application forward. If the agency finds out that you were lying, they will believe that you have broke their immigration rules and have tried to deceive them. In this case, it will be a reason for them to reject the application and possibly issue you with a ban.

Now ask yourself this, is it really worth taking the chance given that people who have stayed here illegaly have successfully applied for their visa given that they declared their immigration history?

Personally, I wouldn't.

my friend was asylum and then she returned to the country got married, but when she applied for spouse visa during interview she was asked more than 5 times is she was working until she decided to say yes and remember she was also getting support. so she was refused the spouse visa and one of the reason she working and she was not supposed, although hubby appealed and she was successful . also when i was arrested i was interviewed and they asked me if i was working and said no, so i dont think if they ask me whether i was working i should say yes.
thanks

Well good luck! I have to agree that i think it would be best for you to be honest so nothing goes wrong.

In my opinion you'll be making a big mistake by saying 'No' to the question about work, but ultimately it's your choice. Hopefully, we won't find ourselves reading a post from you in the future about how to have a ban lifted due to submitting false information.

so....

you was in this country illegally

you was working illegally

you was driving illegally

and now you want to lie

its people like you who make it harder for decent, honest people who want to live it this country legally and obey the laws of this country.

thing is...they'll probably let you stay because this country is so messed up.

Bobbyash, while I'm certainly not condoning the illegal route we also have to bear in mind that there are a multitude of reasons, which trap people in this situation.
The forum isn't here to judge but to offer advice where possible.

ok fair point. this forum in not the place to express personal opinions on others.

Post by **Casa** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 10:46 pm

Thanks. It's best not to.

I would like to know when you are refused visa under the paragraph 320(11), how do you argue about that paragraph in appeal.

have you been refused under this paragraph or are you just anticipating that you will be?

until you have been refused then no one can tell you how to respond to the refusal.

no i have not yet applied but i will be applying in two months time as am preparing the document, the reason is so many people here in forum seems to be refused on that clause 320(11). so i was wondering how they argue and win their cases based on that paragraph.

You state that you commenced an unmarried partner relationship with your sponsor in 2006 but do not specify when in this year. You have provided no documentary evidence to support this claim. I acknowledge that you have two children together but this alone does not show that you have been in a subsisting relationship. Therefore on the balance of probabilities I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of paragraph 295A(i) of HC395

anybody to help me on what write to them when am appealing on that ground of refusal?

You can either submit the appeal at the issuing post (embassy) or in the UK.

hi can somebody clarify for me, Is representation the same as appeal

kipkip · Post by **kipkip** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 6:14 am

If i apply for settlement visa again after refusal and i meet all the requirement of first refusal, can Eco get other reasons to refuse me.

Post by **geriatrix** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 4:41 pm

Yes, if you fail to meet any of the mandatory requirements when you apply again.
