Spouse Visa

• I don't know where to start. I am married to a British Citizen and am not going to mail my documents in until a week and a half from now. What is the longest it will take if I hit peak time? They say 5 to 10 business days, but I am still worried. How strict is the UK embassy? MY husband and I don't have savings, but he is employed and we are not seeking public funds. Do I have a chance?

• HELP ....

  Hi
  I met my partner in 2003 but got together in 2005 we had a long distance relationship I went to live with him in 2007 in the carribean
  
  I became pregnant in October 2007 and came back to the uk march 2008
  I have been on benefits ever since because i was pregnant and had a baby
  My partner came over a few times to be with me while i was pregnant and to be with me when i had the baby he only needed a visitor visa but on his last visit they refused him entry saying he had been here too much and to go home and apply for a visa
  
  so i went over to visit him for christmas
  We were planning to get married in Aug 2009 we have evidence to prove this but we moved the wedding up because we were so upset we were going to be apart and we wanted to show commitment to each other ...
  
  he has been working in the carribean since Jan 2009 and he has his own business he has enough savings to support himself but i only have about 1k in savings...
  
  I have found a Job and i start on April the 6
  and i will be on 30k a year enough money to support my self and my family
  I have made an appointment to get my benefits cancelled
  
  we are going to apply for my husband to come and live on April the 6 but as a goodwill guesture for coming off benefits
  the government pay my rent for the next 5 weeks
  until i get my firt pay check or something
  
  I cannot be without my husband anymore i feel like a single parent i need his support and he will help me with the baby when i go back to work
  I have a 10 year old daughter from a previous relationship and she just got into a really good secondary school so we plabn to stay here for atleast another 5 years
  do you think we have a good chance the benefits thing is worrying me
  but i will be on a good salary and my husband has savings and he is a chef and will be able to get a good Job out here we have looked on line and there are plenty of jobs going
  i am going to a solicitor next week but i wondered if any one can give me some advice
  
  it is really worying me

• ARRANGED MARRIAGES IN THE UK: SOME POLICY SUGGESTIONS

  Alistair McConnachie writes: Ann Cryer MP makes the following points and suggestions in her article on arranged marriages, posted below:
  
  1) Although 14 per cent of the population of her constituency of Keighley is Pakistani and 2 per cent Bangladeshi, they nevertheless account for approximately 50 per cent of her constituency workload.
  
  2) The Government is going to introduce an age limit of 18 years for those seeking to act as "sponsors" for spouses. That means, the "sponsor" -- which is the bride or groom-to-be in this country -- must be at least 18 years old. However, Ann Cryer believes the age requirement for sponsors should be raised higher still to 21.
  
  3) There is no age limit for "applicants" to enter this country -- that is, the prospective groom, or bride who arrives from the foreign country. Ann Cryer describes the example of a 15-year old girl who was brought over -- which seems astonishing since this is under the age of consent! Surely an equivalent age requirement for applicants as for sponsors, of at least 18, is necessary.
  
  4) A husband who has been granted "indefinite leave to remain" is immediately free to divorce his wife and act as a "sponsor" for a new bride-to-be in his home country, even though he is not even a British citizen. A probationary period of one year has been increased to two, but Ann Cryer suggests he should not be able to do this until he is eligible for citizenship after five years.
  
  FEMINISM IN RETREAT FROM MALE TRADITION
  Women are the victims of a crisis in masculinity in the Asian community,
  argues Ann Cryer
  TRIBUNE
  26 September 2003, pp.16-17.
  
  IT IS a sad fact that feminism is in retreat under pressure from Asian "leaders" with support from white "politically correct" men to such an extent that the patriarchal culture and traditions of rural villages in the sub-Continent have been allowed to influence British society and delay the introduction of much-needed legislation.
  
  The same "leaders" who were dragged kicking and screaming into recognising the realities of forced marriages seek to label anyone who dares to challenge the status quo as Islamophobic or accuse them of "demonising" the Asian community. Such critics are unable to accept that the problems I have raised are not imagined and that I, as an MP committed to the betterment of all my Constituents, particularly the most vulnerable, have a duty to act.
  
  About 14 per cent of the population of Keighley is Pakistani and 2 per cent Bangladeshi. They account for approximately 50 per cent of the workload in my constituency office. It is this daily contact, particularly with women, that has brought the difficulties within those communities to my attention.
  
  At the heart of the problems I see is a crisis of masculinity within the Asian community. It is torn between a desire to protect traditional, patriarchal values of the rural communities of their ancestors, where the concept of honour (or izzat) is enshrined in the selfless love of the woman as defined by the man, and a modern society where women are seen to be equal with their own rights. The forces of traditionalism are attempting to ensure that the latter does not encroach on the former.
  
  A meeting of the "community leaders" in Keighley or Bradford will involve a handful of men. When the "community" is consulted, it will be the very same men who are asked to comment. Why is it that, in the 21st century, it can be deemed acceptable to have a consultation without taking into consideration the views of 52 per cent of that community?
  
  On those occasions when women have been involved, for example in the aftermath of the Bradford riot in 2001, they played a significant role by taking their sons off the streets and, in some cases, directly to the police station.
  
  The foundation of the (unelected) authority of many of the "leaders" is based on the assumed submissive nature and ignorance of women. It appears to suit their own aims, rather than the good of the community they purport to represent, to keep things as they are. They seem content to live with the poverty and deprivation that is associated with under-achievement and unwilling to address the repercussions of the clash of cultures experienced by their children who are caught in the conflicting values of the Western society in which they are growing up and the cultural values of their parents.
  
  I have lost count of the number of desperate young women who have come to see me, sometimes in fear of their lives, who do not want to marry a first cousin (with whom they have nothing in common) in Pakistan, but who realise that, by saying so, they run the risk of shaming their family (as defined by their fathers and, sometimes, their brothers).
  
  The Government's decision to introduce an age limit (18 years) for those seeking to act as sponsors for spouses who originate from outside the European Union for immigration purposes should be warmly welcomed. Some girls in Keighley, promised to a first cousin in Pakistan from an early age, were denied the right to an education on the grounds that it was unnecessary. At the tender age of 16 or 17, these girls were unaware of their rights and did not know where to turn for help. Many just went along with the wishes of the family without considering their own ambitions. The age limit of 18 (although I would have preferred 21, in order to allow the completion of higher education) allows the girl that extra space for maturity.
  
  Although the age limit applies to sponsors, there is no such limit on the age of applicants. If we are to protect young British people, surely the same standard of defence should apply to those seeking to enter this country? I have recently been involved in the case of two young sisters who arrived in Britain in 2002 as spouses to two brothers (and their first cousins).
  
  The girls were 15 and 16 when they arrived. For several months, they were locked in a cellar if they did not do as they were told by their in-laws and were subjected to domestic slavery. When they were rescued by concerned relatives, they were found to be suffering from malnutrition and had been physically abused. They are now safe but, had there been an age limit of 18, these girls would not have been allowed to enter Britain.
  
  It appears that marriage is often being used as a tool in an attempt to perpetuate rural traditions as part of this crisis of masculinity. I have been asked to advise in a number of cases where the woman, a British citizen, has sponsored her husband's application to join her in this country. The husband is usually a first cousin. However, as soon as indefinite leave to remain has been granted to the husband, he has chosen to divorce his wife and sought to remarry and bring a second (perhaps more subservient) spouse from Pakistan.
  
  The Government has recognised this to be a problem and the probationary period of one year has been increased to two. I would go further and suggest that only British citizens are permitted to act as a sponsor. The two-year probationary period and a further three years before one is eligible for citizenship could well deter young Pakistani men from abusing immigration regulations at the expense of the human rights of women.
  
  Ann Cryer is Labour MP for Keighley
  
  Any who sponsors their partner to come to the UK should take those two years as a trial to see if they can work out their marriage faithfully. If any doubt, they sould consider applying for an extension for stay. Those whom applied for Indefinate leave to remain in the UK, tough luck! best thing I could suggest is to tear that page of Indefinate leave to remain in UK or bin it. If after that your spouse does not commit to marriage, call police and accuse them of domestic violence. If he/she has a criminal record they will be automatically deported under the British Law. GoodLuck to all and God bless you with a successful marriage.

• RE: 6 months left on visa and now with new partner

  My understanding is that your visa only applies to the person you married. Unless you now have citizenship, or have been in the UK a long time, it will be pretty much impossible for the current husband on your visa to be "exchanged" to your new boyfriend.
  
  The best way to check is to call the immigration department or get an immigration lawyer to check out all your information.

• don't want to or secretly force rejection of spouse visa from pakistan?

  Can anyone advise this? A friend is in a very difficult situation. He is over 35 and a british citizen, recently went over to pakistan only for 4 weeks and got pressured to marry his first cousin in the last week of flying back. She is 21 years of age. He feels there was pressure for both sides and now finding this a problem as families are eager to apply for visa quick. There is hardly any telephone contact and it has already only been around a month since back to UK. The man got married 7 years ago in the past from pakistan but divorced his wife then within one year (no child).
  Is there a number or who can be contacted to secretly tell the british embassy in pakistan or write to to probably force a rejection so that it does not look as though it has come from either party i.e. an anonymous letter or phone call to each embassy in pakistan warning them of an upcoming application. How can this work? can someone please advise?

• What documents are required for filing an ILR application?

  Hello folks,
  
  I am in the process of compiling all the documents needed for my wife's Indefinite Leave to Remain application.
  
  Does there exist a definitive list of documents needed for this purpose? What I had in mind was following:
  1- My Passport, Full UK Driving Licence, Birth Cert.
  2- Same documents for my wife.
  3- Original land registry ownership documents in my name for our property.
  4- Mortgage statements
  5- My tax returns (I'm self employed).
  6- Her tax returns (she is a partner in business)
  7- Business accounts for last two years.
  8- Our son's birth cert.
  9- Letters in my, her and our son's names.
  10- Utility Bills.
  
  Anything else that anyone can think of?
  
  Also, she spent 6-7 weeks out of the country on hols. I was supposed to have joined her for 3-4 weeks but couldn't due to long-term employee sickness at my business. Should I attach the sick notes of that employee with the application to show why I couldn't go and had to cancel my air ticket.
  
  Is there a letter needed from me saying yes I love her very much - although she doesn't believe me - and I intend to spend rest of my days by her side.
  
  And lastly, Is sending an application through post preferable or shall I just spend another £200 and be done with it by actually going to the nearest immigration office? any experiences to that effect?

• Fiancee has criminal record. Any chance of visa to USA?

  Hello,
  
  My name is Emma and I am a US Citizen, currently living in the UK with my fiancee. My fiancee is a British National and has just been charged with fraud, in which he stole 125,000 pounds from his former company. The offense actually took place before we met, years ago and has just been discovered by the company. My fiancee will likely go to prison for one or two years in the UK. After he finishes his sentence, we wish to move to the USA to be married.
  
  1.) Can I even apply for a fiancee visa for him to live in the USA if he has this criminal offense on his record?
  
  2.) Is it easier to go ahead and marry in the UK and apply for his marriage visa in the USA later?
  
  Thank you for your help!
