It's about deception. If she says "I'm staying at x" and actually stays at Y and gets caught - then that's deception and can have a big impact on the visa process. Just follow the right process, always tell the truth, show she's got the right reasons to return and it won't be an issue that she's ...

If it's on the landing card ... http://sean.kiev.ua/img/landing_card.jpg I'd bet they record it. I guess it would make sense for them to record it! So what happens when we apply for spouse visa next year and they see that? Will they just tell us she can never get a visa? We love each other and want ...

Sadly we lost the baby last week, that's why I didn't mention the pregnancy thing and why we're so desperate to see each other (I can't get any more time off work as I was there the week before last week). I rushed into buying a ticket for her to visit as we are so desperate to see each other now ...

You may be safer to apply for a visitor visa before she leaves as the entry officer could take the view that as her husband is here she may remain in the UK after the expiry date and therefore refuse her entry. She's coming next week so I think time will be an issue, the plan is to say she is ...

Question regarding wife visiting

Hello, I'm looking for some advice. I married my American fiance in America and she is wanting to come visit me in a couple of weeks time on a standard visit visa (the one you get when you arrive). She can't apply for the spouse visa yet as she's not 21 until later next year. Will her visiting me ...

Out of interest (and I'm not sure whether this should be on a new thread or not). In theory, if she applied for marriage visa 3 months before her 21st birthday and got it say a month later, could she travel to see me on a tourist visa before her birthday. Would a day trip to Europe after her ...

She will be 21 in August 2011, we plan to apply for visa three months in advance as I was advised that would be possible but the visa would be post dated for August 2011. That makes total sense, and is totally possible, to apply up to 3 months before the 21st birthday, and ask for the visa to start ...

I did the search again, pretending I was a single father etc and it came out exactly the same, in my logic this means her being here isn't effecting the benefit so I should be able to class the child/working tax credit as earnings for the benefit of maintenance? Exactly, and there is the ...

I did a very quick check on that site, obviously had to pretend the baby was born as it wouldn't work otherwise. It says, based on my current wage of circa £15800 that we would be entitled to the following Working Tax Credit : £18.18 Child Tax Credit : £65.17 Child Benefit : £20.30 Tota : £103.6 ...

If the baby is born and in the UK either with you alone or with the mother (she could get a tourist visa) then you could legitimately claim benefits including child benefit which I believe would then be counted when she went back (with the child) as you are allowed a period of some 8 or 13 weeks ...

John, there's no need to apologise, I know you're trying your very best to help and it's much appreciated. I'm British, my mother and father are both British going back several generations. My gross earnings are currently £15,845, this is lower than it could be due to salary sacrifice (I buy extra h ...

Won't you council tax increase once you're no longer a single occupant? Assuming that you currently claim a discount. Yes, but the £75 per month is the full amount, I currently pay £56 per month. What if I don't mention the baby in the application, the baby doesn't need any sort of visa to move, i ...

Quite deliberately the Immigration Rules don't specify exactly what the financial test is, except to say that the visa application must not need to claim Public Funds. That is there are no specific figures mentioned in the Immigration Rules, but decisions of the Immigration Tribunal have given a ...

I have moved your topic here, which is a more appropriate place for your query. Unfortunately for you you cannot take those potential benefits into account. The reason is para 6C of the Immigration Rules, which states :- 6C. A person (P) making an application from outside the United Kingdom will be ...

Sometime next year I expect to be applying for a spouse visa for my american girlfriend (we plan to marry in the USA before then as she's not yet 21 and apply for spouse visa when she is 21). She is also pregnant with my child which will be born by then. I read somewhere that you're expected to have ...
