Yes, I'm living here for 3 years now and holding a residency permit/ID, visiting my kids atleast twice a year.
we had a telephone conference call with a lawyer for about 30 minutes. cost us about £120. i consider it was good practical advice and value for money.. we were advised to do a new application rather than appeal. their fees for appeal would be £2400 inc VaT. and take 6 to 12 months. with no guarantee.
would it be feasible for you to bring your kids to live with you ? i think it could help your application when the time arises.
That is so expensive But not impossible to earn, I hope I'll be able to save that amount of money by next year to help my boyfriend with the expenses. Atleast I've got an idea now on what to do. Thank you! It's best to ask, which I haven't done before on my first visa application.
you need to plan to spend at least £20,000 over the next 5 years for the 3 visa applications plus your annulment. does your b/f realise this ?
No, to bring a child here, I have to earn 10,000QAR/I think that is 2,000GBP and I am only earning 6,400/1,280GBP monthly and it is too expensive to send a child to school.
If you apply for a visitor visa and say you are married, how will the UKI know that you have not gotten married since your previous applications?
I have stated that I was single in my previous tourist visa application... Should I tell them that I got married at the same time then had an annulment after and married my boyfriend? That still won’t work about me having kids though
Is it with the previous tourist visa application? If it is, I didn’t have any sponsor because I didn’t declare that I have a boyfriend.
Honesty is always the best policy. My first Filipina wife told me before we got married, that she had ONE child. After we'd been married 6 months, I found out that she actually had TWO. Only ONE child mentioned on her original Spouse Visa application of course. So, comes time to apply for dependent visas for TWO children, a couple of years later ? I wrote a letter to the ECO explaining exactly the circumstances, (ie, that she had been too afraid to admit to having an 'extra' child) , and asking for special consideration. I seem to remember him (ECO) actually phoning me to chat about it...or maybe he just wrote. Long time ago now. Anyway.... both childrens' visas granted. They've since both gone through good universities here in England , etc, etc. End of story. Do it the RIGHT way (speaking as an ex civil servant).
I hope it would be the same this time? To attach a cover letter and explain then ask for a consideration? On my case, my boyfriend knows from the start that I’ve got 2 kids and still married, we’ve been in a relationship for more than 2 years now, he was fully aware about the agency’s advise with me before regarding the application of tourist visa. We’ll discuss thoroughly next time on what steps/ways we’ll make. Thank you.
