spouse visa & newborn, any exception?

Post by Fio » Wed Sep 23, 2015 12:50 am

Hi, my husband and I got married this year on march in my country (south america) (we haven't register our wedding in the uk yet), 4 months ago he came back to England as I'm pregnant and he cant speak spanish and so cant support me in my country and I couldnt carry on working, so he got a job and its going to have six months by the end of december but his salary is only 18,000. I'm now in England with a visitor visa that runs off by the end of november as well and my baby is gonna be only 2 months old by then. Can I apply for a visa to remain with my baby here as she is going to be british? there is any chance for us to stay together here or do I have to go back to my country and apply for a spouse visa and so my husband has to get an extra job to get more income? thanks for the answer x

You won't be able to apply for a standard spouse visa from within the UK, even though your baby will be British. Also he must meet the £18,600 annual income level.

However, before this is discussed further, assuming you intend your baby to be born here, how wiill you pay for the birth? NHS treatment (including the birth and anti-natal) isn't free for visitors even if you are married to a British National. A spouse visa stands to be refused if any NHS fees remain unpaid when submitting the application.

Hi and thanks for the answer x. My husband has called to the hospital and they told him It would cost around 2000 pounds and that he could even pay monthly (midwife and scan have been free I don't know why).

You would have to show that the bill has been cleared before submitting your spouse visa application.
