Visa For Wife/buddhist Ceremony Wife To Uk

[djgambol]

Hello All,

Please only decent replies. I will explain all.

I have come back to England with suspected throat cancer after living in Thailand 5 years and being with my wife 4 years. I had tests done in Thailand on this and that is what made me come home and I have had further tests done here, ie, bi-opsy, cti scans. My wife is still in Thailand at our home with our 2year old daughter. She does not work as at home looking after our daughter full time.The house and land is in her name as i got people to build it. I do not work as in and out of hospital at the moment. The hospital has said the otucome is good as i am only 31 so health is on my side so i am looking at getting married to my wife if or when she comes here.

My parents are going to sponsor her and our daughter to come here. They have already got a company here in England to start the paperwork and have paid £500 for there fee.(Is this a acceptable price?

I would like to know what kind of visa would be the best to go for in these circunstances, as we were thinking of visitor visa but that would mean we would not be able to marry. The price my parents paid for the fee from the company was a fiancee visa.

I would like some genuine answers to my problem for which visa to get within these circumstances.

So what visa could we obtain within what i have mentioned?

Cheers,

Paul

You have already paid it, so it must have been acceptable at the time?

You have employed an immigration advisor, to get differing advice from a forum may have a contradictory outcome.

Paul,

this is your first post in 3 years, because of the circumstances I can understand that, but your post is all over the place, you need to clarify the situation and understand what you actually want.

Is the plan to now settle in UK or only for the duration of your treatment? If the first then apply for a residency visa, if you only plan on marrying your girlfriend in the UK then fiancee visa is right. That visa gives 6 months to get married, after that she would have to return to thailand or you would need to apply for an extension for residency if you later decided to settle in UK full time. I am sure scouse will be online at some point to give you expert advice

Good luck with the cancer treatment, I hope everything works out.

Hello,

I want to know is this an acceptable price to pay such a company?

I want to know what type of visa would be ok to get my wife and daughter here and marry her?

We are not planning on staying here as long as my treatment goes to plan.

It does not matter i have not posted on here for 3 years so get a life as seems like you have not got one as you decided to look up the history of me.

All i am asking is what visa would be the correct one if anybody knows or has the experience to go for?

Cheers,

Paul

Hello,

Is everybody on this forum so lame they have no advice or is the explanation that nobody here is actually in thailand with a wife or daughter and wanting them to come home/UK.

At this stage, your girlfriend's only option would appear to be a visit visa. Settlement visa applications require that you can maintain yourselves without recourse to public funds, so you can't seek to rely upon your parents' financial sponsorship in order to meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules. However, your partner can apply for a marriage visit visa which would enable you to marry whilst she is in the UK. With regard to your daughter, it may be that she qualifies for British citizenship and, if you haven't done so already, you may think about getting her a British passport.

With regard to the firm which you have instructed to assist, you should ensure that they are duly accredited either to the Law Society or the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner. On the understanding that the firm is accredited to either of these two bodies, the fee is a matter between you and them. They should have asked you to sign a letter of engagement which sets out what they are to do on your behalf; i.e. what the instructions are. If they are not registered, ask for your money back and go to someone who is. However, Mossfinn is correct when he comments that if you have already instructed a representative, and on the understanding they are kosher, they are the ones who are best placed to advise you.

Christ, with an attitude like that, I'm surprised anyone has deigned to answer. What makes you think you're so f*cking important that they must answer your question? No-one gets paid to contribute on here. Ungrateful sod!

Your parents have coughed up 500 notes to employ a firm of advisers: ask them, it's what they're there for.

If you have already paid it, what does it matter?

marry her?

My question was directed against you engaging an Agent and then requesting advice from elsewhere, it is counter productive, if you have no faith in your Agent, bail out now before it costs you more money.

We are not planning on staying here as long as my treatment goes to plan.

Please check out 'non-resident', NHS treatment, or it might cost you money.

It does not matter i have not posted on here for 3 years

Of Course

All i am asking is what visa would be the correct one if anybody knows or has the experience to go for?

This is for your Agent to advise, or you may have a conflict of interests, if you haven't paid them, there are others who's efficacy can be vouched for.

Hi Paul,

Sorry mate but you need to chill out a bit, slagging off the member's whilst soliciting ther advice isn the smartest thing to do, and you know it.

That said I will try to assist as best I can but the Scouser is the recognised authority on this subject.

There are plenty of guys on here who have brought their G/F and children over on a Fianciee's Visa and others have come over on a Visitors Visa but I am sure you appreciate that a Fiancee's visa is usually applied for in a situation where the couple intend to settle in the uk.

You may also know that a non uk person who is in the uk is obliged to apply for permission before marrying a uk citizen in

the uk and I am sure that you are aware this is an attempt by the uk government to thwart marriage's of convienience.

I understand that the house of lords recenty passed a judgement that is likely to require the government to amend that policy but to date that has yet to happen.

On the face of it I think the fiancee visa is the appropriate visa to apply for as it is your intention to marry, however your circumtances are quite unique and I would not be too suprised if someone processing the application might not belive it is not the intention to remain in the uk so you should provide as much documentary medical evidence to support your claims.

What the authorities will need to be convinced about is who will be supporting your G/F and child during the time she is here as is usual with a spouse/fiancee visa application. I have no doubt that their main concern is that she could become a burden upon the state should she decide to remain in the uk.

I do not know and what the price difference is between a Visitors Visa and a Fiancee;s Visa but i f it is substantial ( as I suspect it is) you might like to make enquiries of the relevent department of its inturpretation of the recent house of lords ruling regarding overseas visitors requing prmission to marry, and also make you own enquiries with any legal charities, as you already have paid for a lawyer to procee your applicatin then they should be familair with the ruling and hopefully be able to advise you is there is scope to use this ruling to your advantage.

The big fear is that visitors will not leave when they are supposed to, without wishing to cloud the waters I am sure you have already considered the possibility that your illness may require you to delay you and your wifes departure back to LOS and if not you should perhaps give the matter some thought as to how your wife would respond to this question should it arise during your wifes interview as I suspect it may well do.

The longer your parents are able to support your wife financially will be a big factor when considering the application as you have no income at present, so please ensure you cover this area as best as you can.

I hope your illness gets sorted quickly and you and your G/F/ wife are reunited soon

all the best

Hi Bird on the wire,

Have you ever considered a career in diplomacy?

I thought my post's were a bit OTT at times but as you dont seem to post that often it seems when you do you post you make sure no one is any doubt of where you stand.

Perhaps you should consider changing your name to Bird on the monthlies??
