WHM to Spouse Visa

Post by logbay » Sun Jan 31, 2010 6:04 am

Hello,
I hope someone will be able to advise me…I was on HSMP until Jan this year when I got ILR. I got married in Oct last year abroad and my wife and I came back to the UK together whilst she is on Working Holiday Maker visa (valid from April 2008 - April 2010).
We had thought she would be able to switch to HSMP dependent visa in the UK but we could not make the application bcos we did not know of the maintenace requirement plus the rules on switching had changed.
But bcos I knew I would be eligible for ILR in Dec, we decided we’ll wait till then so that she could return abroad to apply for spouse visa…which she has now gone to do…she is scheduled for interview next week.
I have just read now that WHM visa holders must be single…I was just wondering if her staying in the UK from Oct 09 to Jan 10 on WHM whlst married will not pose problems. Plus she worked for a month in Nov…pls advise Thanks

My wife's spouse visa application was successfull. Although she was asked what was the purpose of her trip in Oct 2009....she explained the circumstances. In the end, common sense prevailed and her application was granted.
