Withdraw spouse visa sponsorship

[bubbles12]

Hi All,

I would like to know If I am able to withdraw spouse visa sponsorship?

My partner had their biometrics done a few weeks ago in Pakistan but our relationshop has broken down and is no longer subsisting.

They gave their biometrics and submitted passport but I would like to withdraw my sponsorship, how do I do it?

Will they still get visa if I withdraw?

Thank you - Please help.

Visa won't be issued if you will inform in timely to the visa authorities but ideally before doing so think twice because the ramifications might be irreversible.

As @seagul said, the ramifications are irreversible.

I don't recommend keeping the Home Office updated in real-time about the ups and down of your relationship. You may have bad days, words or similar, but please don't rush to the Home Office. Give it some time and let the door open to fix your relationship.

Once you go to the Home Office, they won't issue a visa for sure but even if you changed your mind later, you may not be able to do so or only after great difficulties.

Hi,

What happens if the sponser has reported thier issue to the HO during visa process, but then has reconciled with the partner.

What happens?

Depends on what you want to happen. Hence why the words of @Zerubbabel below is pertinent,

If you contact the HO again to retract what you had said before, note that you had already sown doubt about the genuineness of your relationship.

Most likely you would have to reapply with more robust subsisting relationship evidences because UKVI won't rowback where a report regarding breaking down of relationship has been lodged & processed/processing.

Thank you for the responses.

Could I ask, what if the spouse has collected their passport whilst the sponsor has informed the HO.

What happens if the spouse gets onto the next flight to the UK? Would they gain entry clearance or would the system flag it up that the sponsor informed HO about relationship breakdown and the spouse be turned away on the next flight back?

Thank you for your help.

I guess (which can be wrong) you are just conceptualizing different scenarios which despite being a valid way of reasoning but equally distract you from the correct course of action. Simply wait n see for the upshot and then deal it accordingly. Anyways, have you (sponsor) or the applicant has heard something about it??

The sponsor has received an email from the HO UKVI requesting that in order to proceed they must fill in below which has been sent:

- “Public statement – relationship no longer subsisting” - this is a document that needs to be completed which confirms that you are no longer in a relationship with your partner.

- “Permission to use information about spouse” – this is an optional document. Completing this would allow us to declare that sponsorship has been withdrawn in the refusal letter to your former partner.

Above 2 forms have been completed and sent by the sponsor.

However the spouse has now collected the passport already or will shortly collect.

Your query is now well cleared. Well firstly wait for the exact outcome because a mere announcement/notification to collect the passport doesn't necessarily represent the grant of visa. However, even if she would have been granted the entry clearance but still it would already have been flagged up in the Immigration system for intervening her entry.

Hi Seagul,

Thank you for responding back.

Working off the asumption that it has been granted with a viggentte etc, with the sponser informing HO, does this mean the visa would be cancelled?

The sponser is worried that the spouse may get on the next flight and get through entry under false pretense as spouse visa requirments are no longer being met as sponser has withdrawn support.

Don't assume rather just wait for the exact outcome but the declaration you have already lodged wouldn't be ignored. Just wait for the outcome.

Hi,

I understand not to get stressed and just wait for the outcome, however sorry to ask, hypothetically speaking what would be your view in that scenario? Please would you be able to share.

I understand there are many possibilities however the above stated scenario is most likely to happen as spouse’s intentions fits those actions.

Also could I ask, as the sponser has informed the HO, what happens if when the HO calls the spouse to verify, the spouse falsley claims that the sponser and spouse is still togethere even though the sponser has completed the declaration forms?

All you could have done is to let the authorities know about the actuality of the relationship which you have already done through the correct channels, therefore, you shouldn't faff around anything because you wouldn't be given any update. If still someone try to deceive the immigration authorities then certainly will be charged with deception leading to the forfeiture of existing visa with the ban of several years on re-entering. Don't predict rather wait for the outcome (same as advised earlier).

Hi Seagul, thank you for your response.

It now is confirmed that the spouse has collected thier passport and visa was granted.

I feared that the upon informing HO, communcation may have got tangled in "red tape"/ communcation delay as passport was free to collect with no refusal letter stating sponserhip had been withdrawn etc

If your fears are well founded, your part in informing HO done except if you want to update HO again.
If the spouse is able to slip through the net this time, what happens to subsequent application for extension? Since the foundation was on lies it will most likely be refused and get ban.
Reporting the true situation to HO is all you can do.

What happens if the couple reconcile?
