County Court Judgement

[james252]

Hi,

I am a British citizen and have an African wife who has come over to UK on a marriage visa and is wanting to live here permanently with me.
She has been here 1 and a half years and is due for second application in a years time.
I have had a problems paying my mortgage and I think it may get repossessed next month, and I could get a Count Court Judgement.
Please can someone tell me if getting a County Court Judgement against me will affect her next visa application in a year?
Also if I was made bankcrupt would this effect the application?
Please help
Thank you
James

No, neither should affect her application as long as you/she continues to meet the income requirement assuming she is on a spouse visa and applying for extension on FLR(M).

Marriage visa is often known as a marriage visitor visa to only marry in the UK, so if you could clarify your spouse's status please.

Thank you CR001,

Yes sorry it is a spouse visa, I married her in Africa before she came over.

The income requirement of £18,600 is that between both of us now, before she came over it was just me who required the income requirement. Can say I earn £12,000 and she earns £10,000 which would be over threshold, she is in UK with me now in full time job but we are not earning much, I am only earning £12,000 a year?
Many many thanks if you can reply to this as this is so important

No problem. You can combine your income.

Thank you so much Casa, this is very helpful and will be much easier to get the income needed.
