Spouse visa apply from uk , spouse on visit visa

Post by sak20099 » Thu Feb 25, 2016 8:54 pm

Hi guys,

I have a question , I am British national ,my wife is Pakistani national and currently in UK on visit visa as she came to give MRCS medical exam.
Can I apply for her Spouse visa from UK ? And can she remain in UK while I apply for her spouse visa from UK or she has to go to Pakistan to apply?

Appreciate any help

No, this can only be applied for from her home country.

And there is a very specific process for spouse visas from Pakistan. See link below for the step by step process and where you have to send different documents etc.

[You may be mistaken there. She has to be in her country of residence yes but the application can be done through lawyers here in the UK

Do not make the mistakes i made. See a lawyer because the percentage of success when you do it on your own is 35%. There is a lot of stuff they the UKVI do not share.

Absolute nonsense. Most people do the applications on their own and most have success. A lawyer cannot guarantee success and a number members who do use lawyers have also received refusals. UKVI rules on spouse visa is clear, nothing 'hidden'.

Again, stop digging up older threads.
