Hi All

Is it a good practice to submit [b]IELTS certificate[/b](if you have one) alongwith the application for spouse visa?

Advice/Comments are welcomed

Hi Grish

I think you should reapply with fresh and more photos of you two together; rather than appeal as appeal can take up to one year.
Good Luck
