Successful Spousal Visa Application

I haven't posted that much but I've been on this site daily for a few months now.

Bit of background:

I'm a USC, my wife is the UKC. We got married in the US in 2001; moved to the UK on a visitor visa in 2002. I didn't really know what I was doing with regards to proper immigration procedure as I was only 18. I assumed it would be fine. I overstayed a few times and used the visitor visa to live in the UK. I was never denied entry to the UK, I was never deported, or caught overstaying, but it was obvious from my travel history.

We've had 3 children from 2002 to 2006. My wife was on benefits and my in-laws helped with anything else we needed. I never worked but I did get a job offer for me to start when I get back to the UK legally.

I had many previous criminal convictions from when I was younger (14-17) but they were mostly traffic fines and stupid teenage boy stuff.

I was upfront with everything and didn't hide anything.

I did have a lot of help from Victoria Sharkey. She helped me with EVERY aspect of the case and prepared a great cover letter arguing my case. She also made sure I had every document needed. Thank you Victoria.

I got my visa approved in just a few days. It should be back in my hands any day now.

Thanks to everyone for helping me with many little questions, even if I never asked them.

My pleasure!    I should also say that you had a lot of help from your in-laws, who constantly bugged me to get to work on your case, so bunches of flowers and a slap-up dinner due to them, I think!

I love it when a plan comes together!

That sounds nice, where are you taking them?

Hehehehehe!



With a sense of humour like that, I think they should have just given you the British passport!

Congratulations on the visa!

Vicky's fine.  I make referrals to her all the time.

Many congratulations on the visa    Must be a load off...
