Thank you muchly :) We have 53 days before I move across to Canada, my husband follows in 73 so we're hopeful this will get cleared and set up so that he may 'land' rather than enter on a tourist visa. It's been a week since the lawyers sent off the paperwork to have the police check waived...

As much as I hate waiting for news about our application (STILL waiting to find about yay or nay on waiving the Dubai police check) it's nice to see so many get their approvals. BIG congrats!! :)

To make a negative thing positive, at least I know I'm not the only one who's gone through a similar wall of frustration. Misery does love company haha :) My husband has held residency in Oman, Dubai and Saudi since he was 21 (prior to that was exclusively UK) but the was for work. He then...

Hello one and all, I am desperately attempting to put a timeline together for my husband's application, which has been mostly formed thanks to the thread relating to the London office. However we have hit a snag recently and no one there knows how to answer me. First, a bit about our...

We've sent off the request to have Dubai's police check waived and the lawyers have forwarded it onward to the High Commission today. They think it's highly likely that it should be granted since it's not 6 months consecutively that he was in Dubai. Slightly frustrating as this info is actually...

Well this is just mind boggling. We have been contacted by the London office to give a police check from the UAE. Problem is, we can't seem to find ANY UAE embassy, mission or consulate within Cyprus as this must be done within the country of residence. In theory we might be able to get one...

He is, I was basing the question off of the spreadsheet having fairly few visa exempt people on it and the fact I was unaware that the UK was wholly visa exempt. I had suspected it was on a case by case situation not as a whole. I chose not to ask my lawyers since it's after 3pm on a Friday, the...

A question just popped into my head seconds ago: Should they request his passport, how long would it take to get it back afterward?

I did do a fair bit of reading, 20-30 pages that's why I felt this was the right board to ask things. You guys have been totally kick butt so far :) I also wanted to update you on our plans. Since we've been chatting,I've emailed our lawyers then we decided the following: my husband and I plan...

That's from their experiences with the London office, not the total numbers of the office if that makes a difference.

Wrote to my lawyers about such a short timeline, they say most of the time they give you four to six months. Three weeks is virtually unheard of for a landing date, not impossible but highly unlikely. They do confirm that an extension is very very very very hard to get, if you're able to get one...

My husband's issue is that he works in Saudi on a rig every 4 weeks on rotation, depending on when we get the visa...he may be stuck at work.

Heyhey all, Still waiting on my husband's visa of course :) However a thought recently popped into my head. We're currently lining things up to ship me off to Canada at the end of October since I need lead time on my husband (who works oilfield rotations) to hunt down an apartment and we've got...

That seems good enough for me :)

Bingo, cheers. Months of waiting, not hearing much and reading probably to much has muddled my brain on this. Now as for Sponsorship, I looked back at my calender for the start of the year and we had 'Decision Made' on that within a week of Newyears either side of it. So you're more than...

I think I was possibly linked to it in a comment, I may have horribly misread it though. We went through a lawyer who handled the paperwork, however I assume it was outland (via the London branch) as we live abroad with plans to move to Canada. My husband hasn't lived in the UK properly for...

Heyhey :) My husband (British national) and I (Canadian national) applied for him to be sponsored by me November 25, 2013 (date the Mississauga office got it), we got my approval to act as sponsor via email to our lawyers January 27th though decision made on that was a month earlier (email took...
