I have a job, however can not increase my hours due to the cost of childcare. I am hoping that my partner will look after our son if h...

Whilst I am entitled to claim tax credits as I am a British citizen. Will my fiances application be looked upon more favourably if I am not claiming - or will it make no difference?

Sorry to go on but am really stressed about this.

Where you say 'if neccesary', do you mean by that, that we put in correct info and then only provide the evidence if asked?

Thank you again

and would we then need to prove that the name on the new application were correct? As if we have put them incorrectly before why should they believe us this time round?

Western Union use carbon copy paper (I think this is what it is called) so you get a copy of the details and they keep the front page and give you the copy page.

Would having put unintentionally on a previous visa the wrong names of my fiances parents lead to a new visa application to be submitted once we are married to be refused under immigration rule 320 7a?

Thanks Kitty for your reply regarding the phone bills. In regards to the wrong information, it was the names of his parents that I got wrong and I made an error with his mum's date of birth. The reason the visit visa was refused was because they did not believe he would return to Spain and previous ...

I have realised that I put in some wrong info on a previous visit visa application I did for my fiance. That visa application was refused.

What exactly is meant by 'additional benefits'? Am I right in thinking that it means if you claim for example child benefit, child tax credit and working tax credit and can support yourself on this plus earnings from work then this is fine but if due to your spouse coming to the UK you would then ne...

Sorry another question!

I pay rent to my parents every month but as it is my parents we don't have a rental agreement or anything like that. How is it best for me to show in the application that I pay this money? It will show up on my bank statements as I transfer the money to them.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your reply. Do I not address previous immigration history in the visa application then?

We applied for a visit visa for my fiancee in December 2008 it was refused for several reasons. These being non compliance with 1 schengen visit visa (which he dosen't agree with) and then an overstay in Spain until he married his previous wife (now divorced). We were unsure as to whether to apply f...

As I may also be entitled to working tax credit, I am assuming that this is also okay.

Many thanks for everyones help.

I am British and my partner is Ghanaian and living in Spain.

If I am claiming child benefit or child tax credits will this go against my husbands application for a visa to join us in the UK?
