Good morning, Spouse Visa - Financial requirements under CAT B 1. If sponsor made £16,000 gross in the last 12 months prior to application, could he just find another job and make up the remainder (£2600 to meet the £18,600 threshold) even if that took 1 month and apply for a spouse visa then? Or do...

Also, will be waiting for a spouse visa to be granted while awaiting child's birth. What would happen if we got the spouse visa granted and at the same time our child was born outside of UK. Obviously, it would take good few months before we could obtain child passport. I know that spouse visa allo...

Good evening, I got my British citizenship by naturalisation back in 2018. This year my soon to be wife will give birth to our child. The child will be born in Poland with one of the parents being British by naturalisation. Few questions: 1) Do we have to be married in order for me to pass on the Br...

It is possible that if decision for a spouse visa from outside of UK will take longer than average, my wife will give birth to my British child by descent. Obviously, it will take good 6-8 months to get the British passport for the new-born from outside of UK. If my wife gets her spouse visa granted...

Good evening,

I work in the industry where changing employers is very common. I'm wondering if as a sponsor, I leave my current employer after submitting our fiance/spouse visa application. Could that jeopardize our application?

Good morning, For my fiance/spouse visa application I will use NOC letter from my parents and title deeds from HM Land Registry. We are having difficult time finding mortgage statement. Therefore my question is whether other people have been sucesfull in the past with just title deeds as proof of ow...

Good morning, I just found a website which states that Kazachstan nationals applying for entry clearance into UK from Kazachstan need TB test. Now what if the before mentioned Kazachstan citizen have been residing and is applying for entry clearance into UK from Poland? Poland isn't on gov UK list t...

Have you found a new job and are you going to be paid weekly? I have quit my last job in UK in August 2021. Upon my return to UK in November I will get a new job that pays weekly yes. The £18,000 threshold is met in my last payslips between August 2021(when I left) and March 2021. I'm curious what'...

Also, we want to get travel visa for her so she could come over for christmas. Is it possible to submit both tourist and spouse visa applications at the very similar times? You can not have 2 applications running at the same time. You will be shooting yourself in the foot and jeopardising chances o...

Also, we want to get travel visa for her so she could come over for christmas.

Is it possible to submit both tourist and spouse visa applications at the very similar times? Should we submit one before the other one?

Good evening guys, I was planning on returning to UK working for a month or two (while submitting my wife's spouse visa application from Poland) and then returning to her so we could await the outcome together. Would it be a bad idea to leave work and join my wife in Poland while waiting for the out...

The job pays weekly and the weekly gross is £700. That reduced wage is also likely to be too much for you to be given some help towards your rent (via the Universal Credit benefit), even when your child is born. However, once on a spouse visa, your wife will be allowed to work. Just to give you an ...

If you are able to another job, your previous income could count under CAT B. See page 23 https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/996814/appendix-fm-1-7-financial-requirement-v7.0-ext.pdf Morning guys, Because I took extended holiday between A...

Thank you. My only concern was whether my wife and child would get the NHS treatment during final stages of the pregnancy and after birth. You can read the answers to your two questions for yourself, on the folllwing two links- She will pay the Immigration Health Surcharge with her spouse visa appl...

Also, can I still apply for housing benefits (being British citizen) even though my wife will be on a spouse visa. No. Housing Benefit is one of the welfare benefits that has been replaced by Universal Credit. I doubt a salary of 45k will get you any Universal Credit money (nor would that salary ha...

Hi guys, Would it work in our favour if we disclosed the fact that my wife is pregnant (first few months) during our spouse visa application? Also, I'm aware that people on spouse visas don't get any benefits etc. However, I'm not sure how would it work with a child? It is very likely that our child...

Hello,

First spouse visa, sponsor working in UK. On few payslips holiday pay was a major wage boost.

Should holiday pay be included when calculating required threshold?

Paid holiday is fine.

Thank you once again.

Also, for a first spouse visa... Is there a requirement that the relationship lasted 6 months or 2 years etc? In our case from our ever first meeting to our wedding day there has only been 3 months. Would that mean automatic rejection even though I can prove that our love is genuine via photos and t...

Hello, We are applying for first UK spouse visa from Poland. I have booked LanguageCert International ESOL SELT B1 (Speaking & Listening) [online] I have done a lot of research and it appears to be correct one. However, when I was booking this exam they didn't have the 'Spouse visa' option so I chos...

A1 is required for the initial spouse visa applied for abroad. For FLR M extension after 2.5 years, A2 is required. For ILR and British citizenship, B1 is required. She can do B1 initially and used it all the way through the immigration journey, provided the test and test centre remains on the appr...
