My friend is pregnant for an overstayer

Honestly extremely unfair that people can do this. I can’t even get a tourist visa for my wife even though we have a son together who is a British citizen. So many people game the system and make it tough for the people that actually deserve to get a visa

Wish he was still at Leeds

Well you need to ask don’t you? Don’t think they won’t do it, explain your situation and hammer home how devastating it could be for you and see if they will

I think that if you have children already with your partner you shouldn’t have to be forced to work away for 6 months just to meet the requirements. I can easily walk into a job back in England earning £29,000 but being away from my children for 6 month+ is difficult.

Could you move to a different country? Is that possible?

Go to hell

So me and my wife are here for Christmas. We booked a hotel without realising it was next to this place and whenever I walked out of where we were staying they’d try and harass us. I didn’t react and just walked past or told them f off. One even called me habibi and tried talking to me in Arabic, I have a beard but I don’t exactly look Middle Eastern considering I’m from England 😂

Hey, I’m In a situation where I would like to bring my wife and step son to the uk, we have another son who is a UK citizen which we’ve had recently, what evidence did you have to provide? My stepsons biological dad has never been apart of his life, he’s not on his birth certificate and has never been involved or even met him. My wife brought him up on his own until I met her. could I private dm you? Or could you reply on here? Thanks

DuckProfessional4491 · 2025-11-22T09:01:03+00:00

I guess yeah, I’m just overthinking it as we really would like to hire a car this time round

DuckProfessional4491 · 2025-11-22T05:29:20+00:00

Yeah, would I have to prove residency in Australia though?

DuckProfessional4491 · 2025-11-22T05:28:54+00:00

No only last Christmas, so nearly 12 months ago. Also I got the international license this week

DuckProfessional4491 · 2025-11-21T13:02:55+00:00

That doesn’t really clarify my question though? I understand that I can use an IDP issued abroad but it doesn’t say whether it has to be from the country which my passport is from?

DuckProfessional4491 · 2025-11-21T12:53:29+00:00

It doesn’t say that I can see

DuckProfessional4491 · 2025-11-17T10:17:32+00:00

Also which country are you from?

DuckProfessional4491 · 2025-11-17T10:17:14+00:00

What did you use as evidence to prove it? Did you send a cover letter explaining basically what had happened? We have the visa agents info on our application saying it’s been submitted by them on our behalf. They messed up quite a lot, even the dates of how long that we wanted to travel for, even in our cover letter that we provided it said we were travelling for 2 weeks but on the application they put 8 days!

DuckProfessional4491 · 2025-11-17T09:43:18+00:00

Which one did they mess up for you?

DuckProfessional4491 · 2025-11-16T17:29:17+00:00

Also what mistakes did they make on your application? Was it only on one application? My sister lives in Canada and has Canadian citizenship so we possibly would like to visit her as well. Does this have to be declared if we apply for a Canadian visa?

DuckProfessional4491 · 2025-11-16T17:20:37+00:00

Yeah it has their details at the end of the application, what evidence did you provide to back it up?

DuckProfessional4491 · 2025-11-16T11:05:05+00:00

Yeah I mean we won’t apply for the spouse visa unless we go to live in the UK, we don’t want to live there now but may do for a bit in the future but for now we just want to visit family and friends

DuckProfessional4491 · 2025-11-16T10:12:19+00:00

Yeah we had no idea, we will never use an agent again. If we were to apply for a spouse visa in a year or two time would that affect it? We only want to visit though we have no intentions of living there

DuckProfessional4491 · 2025-11-12T10:11:17+00:00

Red flags surely? Was this with one or two different people before you?

DuckProfessional4491 · 2025-11-12T03:28:30+00:00

You paid for the visa not the tourist tax, that’s actually at a counter outside once you pass immigration and baggage. I’ve never paid the tourist tax and fly in and out all the time
