Serious advice please.

Alan, you still require an address to live over here.....obviosuly, as you'll not be intending to sleep on the streets anyway...will you?

If you have a family member that will be putting you up, that is the only address you need. As you are married, the spouse visa is easier than the fiancee.

go and live with your parents al, only til you get your visa, it will save you a lot of money on rent/util bills. get a job, start saving, even better any family or friends can lend you a bit of money for 6 months ? put that in your account, get 6 bank statements. i'm 99% certain you will get your visa.

dom he needs to be married and living with her for 4yrs out of the uk, so she can apply for ile, but of course living together 8months is good evidence of a genuine relationship !

Thanks Joey, I couldn't find it anywhere, probably because I had it wrong in the first place.....

I really doubt there would a need to wait 6 months so long as you were working or even just had a written offer of a job (presuming the job was reasonably well paid...) to be pretty certain of getting a visa.

Thought ILE was difficult to apply for out of the country because you needed to have passed the Life in the UK Test?

Gosh! So much GREAT information that I knew I would get from my 'family.' I appreciate and acknowledge ALL of your comments.

It IS beginning to look like I shall have to leave without Hanna, however, I shall make some investigations with the Embassy (and hope that they bother to reply!)

I kinow that Hanna will go 'bonkers' if I leave her again - it is something I promised her I would never again do. Nevertheless, thanks to the guy who put me in my current position, it looks like I am going to have to be cruel to be kind!!!

Thanks again everyone - and as a SPECIAL thank you to you all, I shall make a solemn promise that I shall not mention that my 1,500th post is just around the corner!

Al.
