Thanks for replying Vinny but I've scanned through the links and they seem to be more about foreign nationals in the British Army settling in the UK, i.e Gurkhas, etc. I could not find anything which would relate to their situation. The person in the British Army is a settled British Citizen. Its ...
A friend of my Brazilian partner has a most perplexing situation which I hope someone may have a solution to. Persons Concerned Brazilian Women. Brazilian Child, she is 17 years old who is the womens daughter (she is 18 in July 2012). UK man serving in the British Army. Timeline is, Brazil women ...
The unmarried partner visa just says "residence permit" and is indentical to a spouse visa and paractically identical to a student visa . Only the UK immigration officials would be able to know what it is from their records.
After 2 years of student visas, collecting evidence, obtaining advice from various sources, putting the application together, worrying about whether to post the application or go in person, my girlfriend has been issued her unmarried partner visa at a PEO appointment. We had two potential problems ...
And you should be able to make an appointment at a local DVLA office and have your passport authenticated there with no need to hand your passport over. If you have only been in the UK a short time, this is the only way you can apply for a UK driving licence.
In the summer of 2006 my girlfriend went to Paris for a weekend after staying in the UK with me for only 2 months in the UK. When she returned after the weekend in Paris she got the third degree from the IO. The IO only let her back into the UK because she showed him her return ticket showing she ...
Please let us know how you get on, especially if they ask for student records or tax records, etc. My girlfriend is applying for an unmarried partner visa from having a student visa in about 6 weeks time. I am still debating whether to post her application or apply for a private appointment.
Once you are here in the UK as a student, you can also change your course or college as long as the new course still meets the immigration requirements. It must be: * min 15 hours per week daytime study. * studying towards a recognised qualification. * studying at a recognised institution ...
My friend who went for a personal appointment for ILR a year ago witnessed someone being turned away because they did not have anything from the first 3 months either. They HO specifically wanted something for the first 3 months and the last 3 months of the 2 year period. And were more lenient with ...
You have not yet violated any rule even if you stay to the end of your current visit visa as long as you are a bona fida visitor. But the visa you have is not a multiple entry visa so if you go to France before the end of your current visa, you have left the UK and that visa is no longer valid. That ...
My brazilian girlfriend is living with me in the UK on a student visa and it was very difficult for her to obtain so I have experience of this process. Your friend needs to send you a letter of sponsorship, clearly stating what acomodation is being offered, the relationship they have to you, some ...
It does not surprise me, my brazilian girlfriend on a student visa always gets tons of questions everytime we come back from holiday. We went to Amsterdam for the new year in 2006 which was actually 1 week before her course started and 2 weeks after she arrived in the UK. The IO did not read her ...
You are suppossed to report the changes within 7 days but I have not heard of anyone on this forum who has been refused because of tardy reporting. When my girlfriend has reported changes, the local police never even know how to deal with the reporting. When she changed her job, she had to wait 5 ...
Its 20 official docs from at least 5 different sources equally spread over the 2 years in joint names. If not all in joint names (and its pretty much impossible to get them all like this !) then you need 20 each in single names to the same address. So if you have say only 5 in joint names, you will ...
I think your playing with fire. Your very limited leave to remain is about to expire after only getting it by very good luck. And you are trying the French weekend away trick to get another 6 month stamp. My girlfriend did this (unintentially) after her only being here for 5 weeks on a 6 month stamp ...
Your situation does not sound too hopeful for an UPV. You obviously cannot supply the required 20 documents over the 2 year time period and they are quite strict on this visa.
It comes down to whether the ECO believes your relationship is a genuine one or not, that you have enough money and suitable accomodation, and that you are really planning to get married. If the visa is issued, the daughter can come too if she is included on the application.
If a foreign national is required to have a police registration document, they are required to register within 7 days any change of work, college, home address, change in immigration status and visa extensions. However they only need to do this at their local police station and their is no further ...
My Brazilian girlfriend was initially refused a SV for similar reasons and many others. We reapplied with more evidence addressing every single point of refusal and she got it the second time around. I would say not comming clean about your relationship did not help as it was probably the only ...
And make sure she does not mention it to the IO when she comes back to the UK, otherwise she will be admitting to breaking immigration rules the last time she visited. Having a daughter in Brazil is a very good reason for her to return, so it may actually help. My Brazilian girlfriend also has a ...
My girlfriend is also Brazilian, she visited me as a visitor with me sponsoring her, no problem. You need to send her a sponsorship letter, return ticket and be at the airport to meet her with your payslips, bank statements, evidence of accomodation and other evidence like photos of you together ...
