Need help (Non-settlement)

[biba]

thanks Pete for your response...

here are some additional information of my status in UK:

Originally i'm having a two year work permit, fortunately i was appointed to a permanent post good for 60 months (5 years) as a member of the nursing staff in the hospital.

So my husband is belong to dependents of workers with limited leave to remain in UK.

We are able to provide the requirements as what stated in the WORKER DEPENDENTS VISA REQUIREMENT CHECKLIST - WITH LIMITED LEAVE TO REMAIN including the NSO marriage lisence.

We already submitted to UKVACS and after almost a week they returned the original with the letter from the Embassy that my husband is scheduled to an interview for the ECO to fully assess my husband visa application under the Immigration rules.

My concern is that if there's any other document other than what is stated in Checklist requirements that my husband would present during the interview?

and also if somebody have the same situation with us, can you share what might be the possible questions my husband would be dealing in ECO?

Quoted post

ok well if you are on Limited leave to remain, this means there is a time limitation of special condition on your leave to remain in the UK, obviously connected to your hospital Nursing Job, if its for 5 years, then I assume you will stay for that period, your husband needs not to worry too much about the documents, if you comply with the checklist, a visa should be granted ok for him to visit you for up to six months, I dont know of anyone on this forum who has been through this, as we are all marriage/fiancee sponsors, sorry I cant be of further help.

Hi Biba!

I know of someone who applied for visitor's visa last year and although they met and presented as much proofs as they could that their relationship was real, their application was evaluated solely on the basis of a tourist visa application and that means, the ECO would try to know if your husband has significant ties to the Philippines, may it be economic or social, the preparation he makes as the sights he wished to visit in the UK to establish that he really is a genuine tourist. Logically, he is going there to visit you, but the ECO would still evaluate it on the basis of a plain tourist visa application. Sample questions are the following:


Tips and advice: Questions that may be asked in the interview

When did you meet each other?
How did you meet each other?

Was there anything particularly interesting about your sponsor that prompted you to correspond with him? If so, what?

What kinds of things have you done together?

Why have you decided to see each other now?

Why do you want to visit the UK? Why now? Is there any reason connected to this particular time?

What is the marital status of your sponsor?

How old is your sponsor?

Have you visited the UK before? Did you see your sponsor there?

Has your sponsor invited you before? Has he ever invited someone else to the UK? If so, who? and why?

Did anyone help you prepare your application? Answer: YES! My sponsor helped me, he/she is very concerned about it.

Have you travelled abroad since your prior refusal to the UK? Answer: My passport has been submitted as a part of this application. Did you examine it?

What are the sights you wish to visit in the UK?

Remember, some questions are simply trick questions....they would just like to establish if your husband will really leave the UK after his visit.

FOCUS on trying to satisfy the rules for a tourist visa application rather than a settlement. They are completely different applications.

Pete has given you a sound advice.

Good luck!
