It's the official announcement from the Home Office/UK Parliament, setting out the terms for the new requirements. In my hones...
Hey everyone, my brother recently got married and his wife will soon be applying for Family Visa to join him in the UK. There is a likelihood that she might apply for the visa after 11th March.

The Home Office will want to see documented evidence of official reports of DV. e.g from police and/or GP. They don't simply take the word of the applicant.
As the sole director of a Limited company and are paid through PAYE, you are an employee, not self-employed. :idea: See the HMRC link below and the highlighted reference. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/600abb89e90e07143bd61d32/annex-d-understanding-employed-self-employed-earners.pdf ...
Could withholding of conjugal affections be counted as domestic violence? Some interpretations of laws are so broad one can sail an aircraft carrier through them. I agree with @Frontier Mole that it does not qualify as modern slavery. She can up sticks and leave any time she wants. From the circums...

Thanks all for the replies. They're very close to retirement but have no medical or physical dependencies, so I guess that makes it a harder job based on information given.

Awaiting further feedback from other members. In my honest opinion, settlement visas are issued for family members whose intention is to settl...
The option to benefit from the EUSS scheme for your father's settlement in the UK ended on the 31st December 2020.
