Thank you for your comments. The point you make about her being satisfied with the DV and dropping the allegations for the criminal case is noted. On the whole, as I was not aware of the points you make in reference to the DV decision having no judicial element or vice versa, I think my original ...

Are you serious? Whatever you suspect, I know the following: I did not do the thing she alleged to the police. We'll let the court service deal with that one. As for seeming to be "overly concerned" about my ""rights"" to know what the Home Office has determined about me in respect of these ...

This is more of a technical question but nonetheless a very important one (it would seem to me). If UKIV issue a DV visa based on evidence given my my ex, that means they have accepted that I guilty of domestic abuse. In that case, surely I have to be notified of this? Or are we living in a state ...

Many thanks - I also have doubts concerning my solicitor's advice on the HO matter.

Thank you for your comments. I have no idea what - if any - reports or otherwise exist out there as a result of her involving the police (I actually don't even know if SHE involved them or if a neighbour or other contacted them.) I'm completely in the dark as to what she has told other agencies but ...

The HO will assess my wife's allegations as part of her application for the DV visa, but they have a lower standard of evidence in granting these visas than a judicial process would require for a conviction. I'm struggling with the logic. If UKIV ...

Ok. Thanks

Last point, if she applies for the DV route, would I be informed of that?

Am I also right in assuming that applying for the second part of the spouse visa is not something she could do independent of me? I presume I would need to be involved in that process as well?

Thanks - I had wondered about that as well.

This seems to be problematic.

If the HO accept her claims before any court case that would be highly prejudicial to me, and if they reject her claims, that would be prejudicial to her.

My wife currently has a spouse visa, part 1, that expires in November. Her son is also here on a family visa that is linked to her visa. We have parted. That's the sad bit. The scary bit is that she is alleging that she is a victim of domestic abuse and is looking to apply for the victims of ...
