UK Student Visa while married to British Citizen

Post by kroos1987 » Thu May 19, 2022 11:33 am

Hi Everyone,

I have been accepted to a Masters program in the UK for September 2022. My wife is a British Citizen and we both live and work outside the UK. We have been married for over 3 years. My concerns are:

Can my Wife UK Citizenship have any negative bearing on my student visa application?

If my wife moves to the UK with me, can I apply for the spouse visa after completion of my degree?

Many Thanks!

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

You can apply for the spouse visa from the moment your wife moves with you to the UK, if she meets the requirements; no need to wait for the completion of your degree.
My posts express what I believe are the facts, based on the best of my knowledge, about the topics discussed in this forum. They do not constitute immigration advice.
