Evidence of legal stay for spouse visa

Hello everyone,

I will be completing 6 months in my current employment as tfl bus driver in may and looking to apply for uk visas for my wife and children from pakistan. I have few questions that I would like to clarify.

I have three children aged 6,4 and under 2.
Youngest has british passport but never visited the UK yet.
Do I have to fill separate forms for all the children and pay full fees for each?

I have read on this forum that documents will needs to sent to Sheffield so do I have to get hard copies from pak to uk? For example tb certificates, wedding photos, marriage documents etc..

I am currently renting a room in shared house but I will need 3 rooms to accommodate my family.

Do I have to rent suitable house/flat in advance or can I just provide an agreement starting in future as I don't want to be paying huge rents not knowing the outcome of application or how long it will take.

Thanks for any help.

Each applicant, I clouding non British children, have to complete Indiviual forms. Are the two older children British without passports or non British?

All document are uploaded digitally. Nothing is posted anywhere

You need to provide proof of adequate accommodation,ie tenancy agreement, housing inspection report etc.

Thank you for your reply. The two children have Afghan passports and I had ILR at time of their births.

Then it is 3 applications and 3 visa fees and 3 ihs fees for spouse, child 1 and child 2.

I had ILR at time of their births.

If they were born outside the UK, that is irrelevant.

They will have the same immigration status and pathway as the second/less-privileged parent.

As CR001 has said, three application fees and three IHS fees payable for a 2.5 year visa, which will then need to be renewed for another 2.5 years before ILR for the second parent and both children.

Thank you for your replies.

I am thinking of changing my work to self employed private hire driver after application is submitted under my 6 months employed work. Is there a requirement to keep the same employment while the case is in progress?

Hi
I am ready to lodge spouse visa application for my spouse and two children from pakiatan but I can the checklist require evidence of legal in stay from the country where applying from. My family came to pakistan on visit visas from Afghanistan just before the talibaan take over and didn't go back and have overstayed for more than a year.

The checklist asks for
Evidence that you have permission to be in the country you are applying from. How do we solve this since pakistan doesn't grant afghan citizens visa since talibaan take over.

Can anyone help please?
