Hello All,

My husband received his documents on Saturday from UKVI, but I am yet to get any email on decision made or passport collection.

Any similar experience in the house?

You will hear from them very soon. Same thing happened to me. My wife got the documents first then few days later the email dropped on my box.

Ok, thanks!.. I'm so eager now..

Hi guys.. @justwise @foreveryours201 and all Nairalnders, just a little tip from my experience.
I have been invited to the uk for 3yrs now by my partners mum, and i always get the visa, and remember i said i will be applying for settlement visa in February.
So 2weeks ago i made a visit visa application to visit my partner (now wife) in the uk for 11days. But i was refused cos of a flimsy excuse.
The visa officer said my bank statement wasn't translated to english from german hence he cannot determine my financial position, for that he is refusing me visiting visa.

This sounds ludicrous cos it's thesame bank statement i have been using to apply for visa all these while and never been refused, until i said i was being invited by my partner and submitted proof of our relationship. I have never heard before that a bank statement should be translated. Lol

But i guess they looking for excuse cos it's my partner inviting me, hence they feel i will not leave the uk. Despite submitting all required docs that shie my ties to germany. But i feel it's a stupid excuse.

Thinking of sending them an email about this... Then chill and apply for settlement visa in February cos i only did this visit visa because i wanted to celebrate christmas with the family.

Also note all my applications to uk, i always say i will be in the uk for 2weeks, but i never stayed more than 1week, cos i ve got a lot to do (biz n study), so my immigration history is perfect.
What do you guys think was the real reason ?

Thanks

It gets you from A to B. Hubby used it and said it's OK. He preferred it to Arik. They apparently left on time and they feed you.

However, they land in Gatwick which I hate driving to.

Hi everyone
I have a little question or we can say problem
I'm now in uk with a spouse visa, my husband is getting benefits from government cause of his disability.
I found a job here which I'll start working soon
But the point is the government will cut off all or part of his benefits.
Plus I'm still looking forward the next visa, if they stop his benefits, how can he support and sponsor me in my next stage of visa!
How and what can you advise me please.

Hello,

They look at household income so as long as the income from your own job meets the income threshold, then you guys are fine as it doesn't matter who earns the income once you're here in the UK. What matters is there's an income that meets the threshold.

I hope this helps!

Was it decision made or passport collection mail you got?

I hope I just get passport collection.. gotta make it for xmas..
