Apologies if this has been asked before but I couldn't see a suitable thread anywhere. What is the criteria for the A1 English test please? I can't find any information on it anywhere online. I understand it's speaking and listening only and that it's suposed to be basic but aside from that I can't ...

Here's some good advice: don't look for or create or generate or try to find any letter like that, even if it is only in preparation of a marriage visa. When applying for a fiance visa, you have to clearly show that you have absolutely no intentions of working. Even for a marriage visa, having any ...

Good point here. Could be counter productive. Maybe I've just had bad advice....

I am sorry if it sounded like I was trying to pull a fast one. I just do not really expect anyone would want to promise to employ ...

If you are in receipt of disability benefits these can be used in support of your maintenance. Thank you for your reply. I was in receipt of ESA but not DLA. I was told that ESA will not be taken into account for income. I am now looking for work which I can manage but I am anxious because even if ...

We are applying for a fiance visa

Anyone? Anyone at all? I'm kinda short of replies here!
