me and my husband have been married coming up to a year, i wanted to get him here on a spouse visa,but apparently the law changed and you need to be earning 18000 a year which i dont earn tht much , so how do i get him here on a vist visa i really need help as i havnt seen my husband in 8 months , if he could just be able to vist me tht would be something .
if anyone could help me i would be very grateful

There is no tangible sum. You merely need to have money flowing (or static) in your or his bank account(s) that shows you can afford this venture.

Reading this thread may offer some thoughts on whether he actually stands a chance on getting a visit visa.

See page 4, section 2(iii) discusses cash savings of £16000 that you are in control of for 6+ months.

I have pasted the above links concerning your spouse joining you for settlement purposes assuming from your post he is a non-EEA national - please confirm if this is correct.

In reply to your query about your spouse visiting the UK, I have pasted the relevant links below directly from UKBA:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... uirements/

The below is a guide to the supporting documentation he will need:

If he is a non-EEA national he will need to submit a VAF1B:

There are guidance notes for this form too. Depending on the country he makes the application from this may need to be done online, he would then visit the nearest visa centre in/to his country to take biometrics (facial photos and fingerprints, along with with his application form signed and supporting docs from you) and they will review the application. A fee is payable and again this information is available on the UKBA website.

Please post any further questions if you have any - happy to help!

Thanks.

Sorry that was not my intention I was merely providing helpful links. I have tried to delete it but it only gives me an option to edit. Please advise.

In any case I have changed my profile to delete mention of legal advice.
