Hi. I would be very grateful if someone could answer my question please. I am about to head out to the post office to mail my documents. I just wanted to be sure I got the declarations part right. Part 2 and 3 of the declaration mention "consent from Home Office to verify third party information and...

Hi sidney2528,

From my experience, since your husband is a British citizen, it can take up to 3 months. I wouldn't worry too much just yet.

Thank you for all your help. sorry I have one last question (I hope). On the online form, when asked about whether I have a degree taught in English I selected Yes and chose country as UK. I have a MSc degree from the UK. I then selected "Degree Certificate" for the Question - What will you use to p...

Hi I have a few question, would be grateful if someone could respond. 1. I understand that I need to apply for Spouse Visa extension within 28 days of completing my qualifying period - is "qualifying period" 28 days before my visa expiration date or before the date I first entered the UK? 2. I am go...

Thanks for your response. It is quite clear, however, I was confused because the questions are different and more extensive than the ones on the print-out/paper form.

"Have you previously lived in a country outside the UK?" I have lived in various countries growing up. Do I need to men...

I was filling out the paper form but noticed just now that there is an online form option as well. I noticed nobody in this forum has talked about sending an online form so I just wanted to be sur...

Hi.

I am currently filling out my form to extend my Spouse Visa. I am a pakistani national married to a british citizen. I wanted to know if I still need to pay for the health surcharge. its £500. or am i exempt from paying it because my husband is British?

Thanks

Thank you so much for the prompt reply! That is what I had initially thought myself. However, I read on the gov.uk website under "Become a British citizen", that it is different for those married to a british citizen. Please find the link attached below: https://www.gov.uk/becoming-a-british-citizen...

Sorry for the type, thats ''expires End march 2017''.

Hi! I have been living in the UK for 2 years and 6 months on Spouse visa. My husband is a British citizen. My spouse visa expired end March. I understand that I can apply for ILR after 3 years of living in the UK, however, in March my 3 years wouldn't be complete, it would be 2 years and 8-9 months....
