From what you say
It is best to apply for fiancé visa
But you need to build up your case with good supporting evidence
Show strong evidence of employment
Make sure you get a accomodation report
As for ŷöü living in Leeds and working in London not too sure about that,
Is your employment a full time permanent position and what evidence of contact do you have with your wife over the last few years,
Send me your email and I can email ŷöü a list of documents you will possibly need
But remember to prepare well and don't rush and take a chance make it a calculated chance to avoid disappointment.

Hi hoorain

Here is what I understand from your post:

- You are a holder of ILR
- Married to someone here in the UK
- Also married to another woman in Pakistan (through religious marriage), which is not recognised in the UK, since you are already married to your first wife.
- You are about to divorce your first wife



My suggestion

- So legally you are still married to your first wife
- Once you are legally divorced in the UK from your first wife
- I think you would apply for a fiancé VISA for your 'wife' in Pakistan
- When she is here, you can marry her and convert the VISA to Spouse/FLR
- However I am not sure if you can bring your kids when applying for a fiancée VISA for your 'girlfriend/wife'
- I am not sure how your finances and accommodation would look to the ECO to get your kids here afterwords as well. Because you would need to show that your X is also getting any financial support if she needs from you even after the divorce.

To be honest with you, it feels so deceitful applying for a fiancée VISA for your SECOND wife.

There are many other points you would need to cover in order to obtain a fiancée VISA for your wife in Pakistan, such as relationship over some time with evidence etc. Doing so would be clear to the ECO that you might be dating another woman in Pakistan while you were married here in the UK. However I cannot judge whether the ECO will refuse or grant you the VISA, but from where I stand it seems like there are more chances of refusal unless you marry your second wife in Pakistan legally and bring her on a Spouse VISA together with your kids.

Hi,

In the accommodation guidance thread http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=6227

it is mentioned that max of 3 people are allowed in a house of with 3 rooms.
It is also mentioned that "rooms of a type used either as a living-room or bedroom"

So in a two bed room house with a living room 5 people can live.?

Thanks for any clarification.

Hi MSK.

Guidance says - 3 rooms = 5 people. Is there anything I am missing?
