ANY EXPERIENCE WITH BRITSH TOUSRIST VISA??

[drbilldc 0]

Does anybody have any experience with getting a tourist visa for Great Britain if sponsor? Here is the situation: I have to go to London for my continuing education credits, i will be there 4 days. I am thinking of having my wife meet me in London for the 4 days then flying to her country of Ukraine.

what is the likelihood of sponsoring her visa successfully? of course we have reams of proof we are married and have filed and received NOA. Etc.

any insights into this would be appreciated.

Hi - your wife will need a visitor visa to visit the UK from the Ukraine

this website tells you all you need to know

http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pa...d=1006977149962

I don't think you - as a USC - can help or hinder the application as it is not about the US but about how long she will be staying in the UK. She will be visiting as a tourist so will need to apply for a visitor visa. She shouldn't need a sponsor for a visitor visa - and I think a sponsor would have to be a UK citizen if one was needed anyway. You may want to help her prove she has enough money to support herself during her stay.

From the website above:

How do I qualify to travel to the UK as a visitor?

You must be able to show that:

you want to visit the UK for no more than six months

you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit, and

you have enough money to support yourself and live in the UK without working or needing any help from public funds.

Hope that helps.
