Ukraine to UK visa advice please

[John Gaunt]

John I read your post.  I have friends that have failed to get their wives into the UK.  I have friends who have got wives in on student visas and married them but no relatives from belarus were given visas to attend the wedding.  I have a friend who married a Ukranian  and has failed to get her in so many times he now has 2 children with her in the ukraine.  These people are people I know and have worked with so please less of you keyboard warrior.  I just want some up to date knowledge of the process.

You obviously have the wrong kind of friends.
You should ask yourself what it is your friends are getting so wrong in failing to get their wives and families visas.
It’s not rocket science.
I should know, been there and done it, successfully. So I think I can say with a little confidence that I know what I’m talking about.

Interviews or no interviews, doesn't matter. Give the government the paperwork they ask for and as long as your woman isn't a terrorist, felon, or carrying a transferable disease, should be easy to get the woman to your country. Failure to provide the government with what they ask means failure. The interview for women coming to the US isn't really an interview but showing up with documents that have been requested yet they call it an interview.

Now it may be on James mind just as it has been on other men's minds that have come here and that they maybe can get away without getting the father's permission for his child/ren to leave the country. Ignoring that step is the easy path to take. If that is what James and his lady are thinking about, then the question should be asked "What are the chances of getting a visa when failing to submit documents that are requested by the government?" It's an easy answer.

Sounds like the Father will be up for a nice lump sum to ease the process. Either that or send the kid of to join the priesthood
