25/01/10 - Jamies Visa
So, we found out due to several circumstances beyond our control that we are going to need to stay in England for a little while longer. This means that we have to now get Jamie a residency visa. I spoke with the UKBA to find out what the requirements were. I found out the following:
- Jamie doesn't need to repeat the life in the UK test (Massive phew)
- Jamie has until the 19th July to apply
- This will give her indefinite leave to remain
- This will lift the restriction on recourse to public funds
- She can apply in person or by post
- In person is £1020 with same day approval
- By post is £820 with 6 months to wait for approval
- As long as she applies by 19th July, she can stay in the UK
