Hello house! I learnt US embassy is now detecting fake Dubai passport control. My worry is that my passport is carrying one. I'll be applying UK visiting Visa in couple of weeks, does UK Embassy too confirm /detect fake passport controls? I'm asking this to avoid incidences of rejection.

Thanks

erico2k2:

YOu should have asked why I said 10 years to go, its not a joke,
If you are applying as the spouse of a settled person, you are given 2.5 years x 4 B4 indefinite leave to remain then wait on extra year to get nationalization then British passport.DO you now see why I said it might be 10 years

You need to reapply. Pay slips must match with bank statements. Include as many pictures as possible as well as chat and/or call records over the time period of your relationship. Get a letter from your landlord stating spouse is allowed to live with you, including your tenancy agreement if possible and an accommodation report to state that there will be no overcrowding.

The hold on spousal applications has been due to backlog on applications not meeting the financial requirements. This was caused by the Supreme Court ruling in February this year. However, the Home Office made those changes on July 20, 2017 and will begin implementing on August 10, 2017. You can see https://www.freemovement.org.uk/home-office-makes-changes-appendix-fm-minimum-income-rule-following-mm-case/ for more details. If your lawyer doesn't know this, then I do advise that you get yourself a new lawyer or do it yourself. There's a group on Facebook that's also great at helping in this process and afterwards.

Thank you @teejay231.

Anyone in this forum live in Manchester?

tayeby78:
Thank you guys so much for all your always helpful advice.

My mum has kindly agreed for us to use her 5 bed house to meet accommodation requirements. Please does anyone know what the letter should include? Anyone used a relative house to meet this requirement before? What documents do we have to submit?

Lexusgs430:



Do your have any financial connection or commitment to the said address?

Do you have other bills to prove residential connections?

tayeby78:
None that I can think of. Do you think that can pose as a risk?

Hi folks,

Does a partner/spouse need an English Language proficiency test just to go and join a partner/spouse in the UK.

The Nigerian partner does not have higher education certificate.

Thanks

teejay231:


A spouse of a settled person gets 2.5 years x 2 (5 years route) before indefinite. 2.5years x 4 (10 years route) is for parents of a settled person or for spouses who do not meet the financial requirements but qualify under exceptional circumstances.

Lexusgs430:


Been self employed, what financial documents did he submit to meet the criteria?
Losing communication log is not a good sign. How much communication log did you submit?
And what new documentary proof do have with you for the paper hearing ?

NB: This appeal requires 200% more documentation proof, from what you initially submitted.......

tunderule2016:
This might sound stupid... but did you do a court marriage? The Uk have high regards for court marriages than church or other marriages. Appealing is the best option but the wait is very very very long... i will suggest you appeal then put in a fresh application and make sure you reference the appeal. Make sure everything they suggested you included them .. and make sure in the additional information box ; please write until you can not write no more..... People under estimate the power the additional information section carry ...


Do a complete check list here i explained how to arrange a document for ECO https://www.nairaland.com/3065395/how-prepare-documents-submission you can read on that and it will help you.

DO NOT FORGET .. THEY CAN HOLD DENY YOU FOR ANOTHER REASON SO PLEASE GET ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY.

Hello tunderule2016

We have not done church marriage as we are waiting for me to come over to do it there. Traditional wedding we did this year but we wedded in Denmark council hall with an apostille sramp which is recognized in Europe and the world. They didn't doubt the certificate or the fact it's not recognized but that the relationship is not genuine and also we didn't meet the financial requirements we did have far more than 18600. If we are to reapply it's the same financial documents we will give them

zymanda:


Sorry for responding late as my network has been poor.
I don't know in details the documents he submitted but I know there were complete because he went through his accountant and even after the ECM review refusal he took the documents to a lawyer who confirmed his documents are complete but maybe they calculated it technically, been self employed he doesn't receive a fix amount, he can get less for a month and get double or more the next. We met 2015 Feb but due to change of phone I don't have WhatsApp record from 2015 until Jan 2017 when I entered naija. But we have Skype record from 2015-2016 Dec. Fortunately he was able to retrieve our WhatsApp chat from Jan 2016-2017. We don't have records of him giving me money while I was in France because I was working and didn't need it then but we have records from when I came into Nigeria as my upkeep as I have not been working. We sent them more pictures and more WhatsApp records from Jan till date.
Pls do u think we have any chance on the appeal? we choosed paper appeal because it doesn't take that much time. If we are to reapply it's the same financial document he will give. What are our options Plssssss.
