Roman, still not granted UK visa.... But another country is attempting to cash in........

On the flip side, holders of isreali citizenship are allowed into the UK for short stays.......

His permanent residence derived from? What sort of visa/passport does your husband hold?
You don't require IELTS. Does you husband have all documentations required? Does he meet the financial requirements? Does either of you, have all logs? Do you have marriage registry certificate?

How did he get his settlement visa? What route?

As a Russian-Jew returning to Israel, he qualifies for citizenship

My partner had and still has ILR without a British passport and I was granted a spouse visa last year.

It's now he remembers he is a Russian - Jew, and returning back to Israel (like the proverbial lost sheep)......

Thanks for clarification......

Many thanks to everybody that's contributed to this thread one way or the other.
I've been a silent observer but I must confess, its been a tough journey but in the end, God is good.
I applied for my spouse visa (standard) Feb, 22 2017. Got refused October 26, 2017 with a right to appeal. I appealed November 2017 and finally got the mail to resubmit my passport May 24 2018 after winning the appeal without going to the tribunal.
I have since submitted my passport last Thursday and here I am waiting again... Dunno how long I'd have to wait again but I'm in good spirit.

Hopefully your case will be a different one but this people can hold your passport for weeks! There is no time line for this.

Like i said hopefully your case will be a special one.

Spouse visa.

What is the difference?

What is the difference?

Asked because of recent tier 2 vs spousal visa mix up...... Just for clarification.......

Please be advised. I did my biometrics today in Abuja TLS centre and the queue was ungodly. Many of us entered around 8am and didn't leave until 4pm. They said that the system was down plus public holiday so everything was just mad in there. Secondly, they asked us to bring a photocopy of our passport plus the appointment confirmation and application form. Nobody told me about the need for photocopy before I went so I'm letting you guys know now so you won't be forced to leave your place in the queue.

Congrats dear

Congratulations dear. I key into this testimony.

Did your husband post his documents to you or he sent it there to them in Sheffield? My husband already sent me the documents through DHL.

Hi all!
Is it compulsory to attach a court marriage certificate to spouse visa application? Also how long after a court marriage can one submit their application?
I and my husband just got married a month ago(church and trad) and we were unable to do court marriage before he went back to UK for work. Now he wants to come in just so we can do the court marriage and then I can apply for the visa immediately after.
Also, I am presently in the UK and would be applying for my visa from abuja. Should I just leave all my documents with my husband instead of taking them back? And will they accept a TB certificate done here in UK?
Sorry for all the questions
Please any info will help. Many thanks.

No, you do not need to attach a court marriage certificate. We wedded only in church and had trad too. No need for him to come back for a court marriage. Leave all documents with him, he will be posting them to Sheffield. It's always easier and safer to post from within the UK. I don't know about a TB test done in the UK. Maybe others can help you on that. All I know is that there are approved TB centres for every country you are applying from. I did mine at Abuja.

Good luck

So after 3 failed visitor visas, we FINALLY SAW A SHINY STAMP YESTERDAY!

Applied on 31st March 2018 (priority)

Biometric 9th April

Documents sent to Sheffield on 23rd April

Application being prepared for consideration mail 25th April

Emailed asking for an update on 24th May. A reply came back saying that a decision had been made.

Documents sent back on 25th May

Went to TLS Ikeja to see if the passport was there on 30th May. They said it's still at the High Commission.

Passport ready for pick up mail 30th May

No decision made mail sent officially from UKVI

Decision made 17th May

Passport picked up 31st May

36 working days after biometric. There was so much public holidays to endure!!!

What made me worry was that:

1. My contract for my job expired in July, but they renewed it for another year AFTER I submitted. I wrote a letter of assurance (saying that I will look for another job etc) to cover my back. However, I am guessing they called my work place to find out they renewed my contract.

2. I lost one payslip, and I could not get another copy so I wrote a letter explaining why this payslip was not there and asked them to look at my bank statement AND what my work place added in a table showing my income.

3. My documents came back in a different envelope. Oh the paranoia thinking I have upset them and they might reject us because the envelope I sent them was too small. Yes, I was thinking like that....

Overall, I would say if there a small omissions, cover your back with a letter, and point it to other bits of evidence to back yourself up.

We are so grateful for the sound advice though! We went through EVERYTHING on this forum. Producing a table of income was a brilliant idea that we got from here (as I had variable income from 2 sources). Thank you all once again!!!

May you all experience good news too!!!! I celebrate with you all in advance!

Congratulations

Thank you so much for you reply. Also do you know if they will accept IELTS certificate academic? Its not UKVI but the regular one you can you use for other countries as well.

Congratulations. Please which email did you contact UKVI with for an update... I want to contact them too. Thanks
