i would never pay for legal adivce unless your case is really complicated, you can get lots of free advice from your local law centre, CAB and Immigration orgs like the excellent JCWI.

and it might be a good idea to get your wife to the UK before April, prob cost you more then and who knows what the gov has lined up, when it reveals its new Immigration plans...

lol , ive read that there is a recommendation to the gov that the 'life in the uk' test cert, should be called a certification instead...

very true about lots of free advice.

I know you read a lot of the immigration and visa sites joe any rumours of what those in the know think could happy?

With todays leaking that student visa overstayers are not to be chased up unless involved in a corrupt or fraudlent application and the reason reading between the lines is lack of money i can see hefty increases in the visa fees and looks like why the news was leaked now so the new labour machine can show they are tough when the huge increases are announced.

Don't know about the others you mentioned, but at the CAB haven't got the foggiest... Unless is just the Mold one....

My ex, made a point in enquiring at the CAB, while Jet's application was going through...
And she was happy in informing me that it was absolutely impossible for Jet to obtain a visa and all that jazz ex wifes come out with....

I remember telling her that the CAB needed to update the information somewhat, but she adamantly insisted that it was set in stone, and I would have no chance whatsoever to bring Jet over.......

Well......... Guess what...???

CAB can be a waste of time, you need to speak to someone who knows about immigration there, as they try to cover everything, but your local law centre should have an immigration solicitor who should know immigration law


as for the overstaying students, looks like for many it wasn't their fault, its their uni, who took toooo long to send their papers to IND, also some were refused for incorrectly filling out the forms, but then its the same for us all, if you fill in the spouse visa, and it's not right, and now your visa has expired, who's fault is that

oh i wonder whats going to happen in march/april. as the gov said it's going to be the biggest shake up in immigration history, one thnig you can bet on, everything will cost more..
