Hello

I got my ILR approved this month and want to apply for my wife & kids visa so they can join me in the UK.

My kids was born in the UK so could do the naturalization for them and my wife stayed 3 years in the UK and then moved back to Pakistan in November 2011 and her visa ran out in October 2012.

what visa i can apply for her ? should i apply for ILR OR SUPPOSE VISA.

Regarding the documents what should i attach.

1) So far this tax year i have earned 20k already so that should be fine i beleive.

2) Does she have to take TB test again ? as she done in the past alone the finger prints when she was on dependent visa.

Regarding the kids what are the financial requirements.

Please advice.

Your kids (born in the UK) are entitled to register as British and apply for British passports. Else, you would need to meet the extra financial requirements for them as well.

Your wife may apply for a settlement Spouse visa.

1. She may apply for a spouse visa. She cannot get Indefinite leave.
2. See also New English language testing for partners.

I have a question regarding my wife visa she is in Pakistan at the moment, She came to UK on Jan 2009 and went back on November 2011 due to some family matters back home.

I need to know what visa she should apply from Pakistan or whether she can qualify for the ILR or something... Also can someone provide me to number to book the TB test as we are trying the number and its not going through which is listed on UKBA website.

Also she has done LLB Law degree which was taught in english from a well known University and her UNI gave her a letter confirming that degree was taught in english.

Please advice if she still need to do that english language course or should i make the UKNARIC comparability instead.

Your advice will be really appreciated.

Thanks

Today they send me letter saying.

Additional Comments: Final Degree Certificate not Presented.

" Although it is confirmed that the english is the Medium of instruction in the teaching and examination system of the department providing this award, it unfortunately has not been possible to confirm that the necessary English language requirements for CEFR LEVEL C1 are met upon completion".

Please advice what should i do for her as her LAW degree was taught in english.

Did you check whether she was awarded 10+ points on the PBS calculator? If so, take a print out of that.

If not, your need the Statement of Comparability from NARIC.

Thanks for your message,

You mean to say I should have done "statement of comparibility" instead English language assessment ?

Please comments

Thanks

Yes if the necessary points were not awarded on the PBS calculator.

Just checked with PBS calculator and it's not giving me any point.

Somebody suggest me to do Naric English language assessment rather I should have gone for Comparibility..

Secondly a quick question what should I mention to Naric about the reason of the conparibility ?

Thanks

Because your spouse/partner would have a degree which is comparable to a UK degree and was taught in English.

You are a super star thank you.

Can I use any template for the tenancy agreement, although I heard we can use the WH SMITH form as well which is approved by law society I believe.

Thanks and much appreciated.

Post by **Amber** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 9:13 am

Yes if it is a valid tenancy. I assume you're not living with relatives.

Hi i got a letter from UK Naric and saying that my wife Bachelor degree is comparable to British Bachelor (Ordinary) degree standard.

Please suggest should i get a letter from college as well that the degree was taught in English or the UK naric comparability statement should be sufficient.

Thanks in Advance

Hi D4109125,

Thanks for your advice you have been so nice.

Well I have sent the application but one thing bothers me that I have attached the online statement of my Mrs bank statement where my salary comes in and could not stamped from the bank but also attached my personal bank statement in original format.

Reason was to attach her statement because my salary comes into her account, if want to do the cross check regarding the payslip so they can check but would it gonna be any problem regards of online statement.

Many thanks
