Dear Members
I am asking this for someone I know who wants to sponsor his wife to UK on Family Visa
Sponsor Details
============
Entry Visa: Tier 2 (Clergy)
Entry Year: 2007
Visa Status: ILR since 2016
Age: 62
Financial Requirements of £18,600 income a year meeting: Yes
Currently suffering Chronic Kidney Disease. To be put on Dialisys in coming weeks.
Applicant
============
Citizenship: Indian
Age: 52
English Requirements met? : No
The Applicant, wife of sponsor, is not educated in english and is unable to pass B1 test required to apply Familiy Visa to join her partner.
The sponsor is living on his own for last 15 years in UK and does not have any extended family for support. He has recenly been diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease and is due to be put on Dialysis. In this critical phase of his life, he is longing for family support and has wished for his wife to join him in UK to support him during his time on life support(dialysis).
I will appreciate if the learned members of this forum provide some guidance on applying a visa for the spouse to join sponsor, with mediical needs, in UK to provide emotional support and help cope with stress of being on life support.
The key concern we have is that the applicant does not meeting the english requirements and we do not want to apply if this is an absolute grounds of rejection. I am aware of a few circumstances which can be used to claim xemption for this test such as learning disability but applicant does not have any such condition.
Is there a way to claim exemption on english requiements on humanitarian grounds as the sponsor is need of physical and emotiion support due to health concerns. What are the chances of geting a Family visa approved in such cases?
Thanks for taking time to read this post and for your thoughts.
