decency:You see how dirty minded woman is, see how she just take style turn am to sex thread. ![]() Anyway if you can't beat them then join them, how about: Pussy damn Pussy. |
@BIG BUMPER I suppose we will just have to agree to disagree on our interpretation other than that I have the patience of a saint and a heart of gold. ![]() |
My take; 1. Unless you are a money launderer or involved in other types of criminality, I can't see why the source of your funding should be a problem. 2. True, this is a possibility but I doubt an ECO would consider it unreasonable for a man and wife to want to be together. 3.By a strict interpretation of the rules she would not be permitted to work as you pointed out. |
English1:Wrong I'm afraid and here hopefully to clear the matter up once and for all are the Immigration Rules which permit a student to have his /her spouse join during the course of study: [b]Requirements for leave to enter or remain as the spouse or civil partner of a student or prospective student 76. The requirements to be met by a person seeking leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom as the spouse or civil partner of a student or a prospective student are that:: (i) the applicant is married to or the civil partner of a person admitted to or allowed to remain in the United Kingdom under paragraphs 57-75 or 82-87; and (ii) each of the parties intends to live with the other as his or her spouse or civil partner during the applicant's stay and the marriage or the civil partner of is subsisting; and (iii) there will be adequate accommodation for the parties and any dependants without recourse to public funds; and (iv) the parties will be able to maintain themselves and any dependants adequately without recourse to public funds; and (v) the applicant does not intend to take employment except as permitted under paragraph 77 below; and (vi) the applicant intends to leave the United Kingdom at the end of any period of leave granted to him. Leave to enter or remain as the spouse or civil partner of a student or prospective student 77. A person seeking leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom as the spouse or civil partner of a student or a prospective student may be admitted or allowed to remain for a period not in excess of that granted to the student or prospective student provided the Immigration Officer or, in the case of an application for limited leave to remain, the Secretary of State is satisfied that each of the requirements of paragraph 76 is met. Employment may be permitted where the period of leave granted to the student or prospective student is, or was, 12 months or more. [/b] |
mrpataki:In addition to what I stated above Mr Pataki based his advice on the fact that Dada had only limited leave to remain in the UK and so therefore it would be unlikely his madam would be granted a dependant visa. He then went on to say Dada should wait to start his PHD before applying. My answer to this was and still is, even with his phd he will still only have limited leave to remain albeit a longer period. |
@Big Bumper(the mind boggles ) You are simply attempting to create confusion where none really exists. In what way are English and loverbwoy right. Dada made it clear in his second post what visa he required for his wife and it was in response to this (posts 5 and eight) that English/Loverbwoy made the assertion you have to be settled in the UK before your spouse can join you. That is catergorically wrong, YOU DON'T . I interjected, as you described, at the earliest opportunity to clarify that he cannot apply for his wife to come to the UK from inside the country.I cannot remember him making this point anywhere else other than at post 43. You perhaps need to think out louder. What I and Mr Pataki said were different. He does not believe that Dada should even apply during the currency of his present leave to remain till Jan 2008. I am saying to him go ahead and apply but only on the basis of his current status. Any application for further leave to remain should then be done in country once the madam arrives. All I have done here is to try to give Dada the best advice possible and try and correct any advice I consider to be wrong such as that given by English and sorry to say yourself as well. It is of course open to Dada to check out the advice I have given from people who are paid to give such advice but I am confident mine is broadly correct. I'd be interested to hear further from Dada on this point. |
vikiviko:Don't see how possessing call cards will prove you have been in communication with a particular person. I would suggest that if the ECO does have any doubts then a telephone statement would be a better way of proving communication. In any case unless the ECO has grave doubts about the authenticity of the marriage certificate or the continuing subsistence of the marriage I can't see this being a problem. |
mrpataki:No problem Mr Pataki, we are all here to learn and I have learnt lots from being here. Although I guess I have a small advantage. As I have said before I used to work within the system. |
vikiviko:She might well be interviewed but as to proof of communication etc that would only be requested if there were doubts about the subsistence of their marriage. |
@Dada You can't include your wife on an application at the Home Office unless she is already in the country. An application made in the UK is for leave to remain, which your wife can't get. She will have to apply for leave to enter form Nigeria. That is why I said you/she has to apply in line with your current conditions till Jan 2008. When she arrives you can then both apply to the Home Office for an extension based on your proposed ph.d. I wouldn't even send a letter to the UK embassy about your ph.d because this would suggest that neither you or your wife are planning to leave the UK at the end of your Msc. An ECO who goes strictly by the book may refuse for this. |
mrpataki:@Mr Pataki .Even when he commences his ph.d he will still only have limited leave to remain. .She is going to the UK as the spouse of a student, there is provision for this in the UK immigration rules. .The ECO would not have given Dada the EC if it was not believed he would return to Nigeria after his studies, so unless Mrs Dada gives them cause to believe she will not return at the same time as her husband they have no valid grounds to refuse her an EC in line with Mr Dada provided he meets all the other criteria. |
dada77:I differ from Mr Pataki here. So long as everything is in place for her I can see no reason why you should have to wait till you start your ph.d in 2008. |
@Dada Cool go ahead and apply if you have everything I mentioned in order. As you don't actually have leave to remain or enter at the moment for your PH.d your wife should only apply till Jan 2008. |
It does cost money to run an Embassy and Nigeria is one of the busiest posts in the world requiring high staffing. When was the last increase? |
@Dada, Just to clarify for me, when does your current student visa expire? |
dada77:Dada Trust me, so long as you are solvent in the UK and can care for your wife and you can satisfy them she is your wife and that you will both return to Nigeria at the end of your studies you should not have a problem. There are many wives of students here in the UK and not all of them were in gainful employment back home. All I would say however is that your wife should only tell them that she will be in the UK as long as your CURRENT EC. So if for example you plan to extend your studies beyond this date you would then both have to apply from within the UK. HOPE THAT IS CLEAR. |
pattiano:Patti, My expertise is in UK immigration law and not Canadian although I would imagine a lot of the principles are the same. Others on this board might be able to help you but I would also suggest you google the net for helpful sites to do with visiting and working in Canada. |
mrpataki:With respect Mr Pataki I would disagree with you on this point. The real determining factor is what the sponsor is doing in the UK. And that the Nigerian spouse is able to be maintained and accommodated by the sponsor and that she will leave with him at the end of his studies. If she is granted an EC it will be in line with Dadas. I know many Nigerian spouses granted visas and the only thing they can describe themselves as is a housewife. Should the British High Commission refuse to grant DaDAs wife a visa then based on what he has said he would have valid grounds for an Article 8(Right to family life) human rights appeal. |
@Pattiano I don't generally provide my e-mail because I prefer to answer questions and queries in this public forum, so that everybody can benefit, assuming of course people have similar problems. The much venerated and respected Mr Pataki has asked a couple of salient questions you will need to answer befor matters can be taken further. @Dada, Her circumstances in Nigeria are not particularly relevant for the purposes of her application. Having said that however, if you can provide proof that she has every reason to return to Nigeria eg her job is held open for her whilst she is away then that will be helpful. |
@Dada Not sure I understand you here. All I will say is that if there are any documents you think are relevant to your application then submit them. |
@Dada Your application should really be quite straight forward. But supporting documents would include: .Recent Bank statements to prove your ability to support both of you. .Evidence of suitable accommodation, eg rental agreement. .Certified copy of your passport's bio data page and perhaps your student visa page. . A letter of confirmation from your university confirming you are duly enrolled. . Proof of your marriage to each other, i.e marriage certificate. . Covering letter from yourself. . Any other documents you feel may be relevant to support the application. Once again good luck. |
Dada, Based on the guys previous posts in which he has been touting for business here I am 101% sure he is a visa agent. Anyway I digress. Here is a link to the form your wife needs to complete. http://www.fco.gov.uk/Files/kfile/VAF1Oct06,3.pdf Good luck. Don't hesitate to ask if you require more information, and by the way my services are free. ![]() |
Dada 77 Your wife should be able to join you as a spouse of a student. As you correctly pointed out English1 and Loverbwoy are incorrect. In order for your wife to join you both of you must meet the requirements of the immigration rules. These include: . Being able to accommodate and maintain her without recourse to public funds. . Must leave at the end of your studies. She may also be permitted to work in certain circumstances. You state that you are a masters degree student, I really can't see why you cannot pursue the application for yourself without involving the expense of a visa agent. The application is not rocket science. Sorry to pour sand, sand for your gari Vikiviko. ![]() |
@Ruky You posed the question, but what do you think Ruky? Looking at your beautiful profile pic I'm sure you have never farted in your life yet alone in front of someone. Anyway click on the thread below for my views and many others on this most important issue. ![]() https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-16863.0.html |
Benin City. ![]() I have never seen such a dirty, run down and dilapidated so called city in my life. |
