As long as you been together here for 2 years I believe.

If his agent and the club were 'adamant' he wouldn't get a visa, why even bother going through the motions of a transfer deal? Just wastes everyone's time, surely. To me the fact that a deal has been done indicates that the people actually in a position to know about these things think a visa can be obtained.

This brings back memories of when we had to arrange a civil partnership ceremony for Moa and Luaki to secure there visa's

I never knew that Moa & lauaki had a civil partnership.

As I've said before, if it's linked to a work permit, Brent Webb's visa only allows him to play for Leeds, Keith Lulia's only allows him to play for Bradford, etc etc. If a player wants to move to another club via the work permit route, they need a new visa. Unless you can get the new visa by the premium service from UKBA, it can take weeks, so maybe there'll be no official announcement until then and maybe he's coming for next season after all. We've had our fingers burnt before.

First time I've EVER been called that

Cant you do something about it Chris - get the paperwork done!

Chris28 is an employee of UKBA, he has clearly stated, the stipulations required for Chase to move to Hull FC.

The conviction in 2011, has no bearing ,IF it was, he would be not allowed back in the country in 2011 after his court case.

The only thing Chase needs to do, is to amend his change of employer to Hull FC.

Also,he could state changes in his application, eg He is now a parent of a UK citizen, (coupled with the child's mother is also a UK citizen.), no Government would deny a working visa, to a parent who has a UK born child.

Its possible, to get a same day service for a fee, but that is purely dependant , if the UKBA office has available appointments .

IMO- It will just take time - no dramas.

Nowt to do with me guv, I'm not a roving immigration superhero. Not yet.

If it was that simple Adam Pearson wouldn't be telling you it's a problem.

I hope it goes through. I hope it goes through before Friday. I fear it won't though.

Adam Pearson is not telling us it is a problem...The local rag is reporting it is a problem there are no quotes from the club regarding this matter.

AP hasn't commented on Rangi Chase, Its a HDM journalist,

James Smailes has said the only problem is 'time',

the visa will be allowed, not a question of 'If' - but 'when'.
