Spouse visa need help!

Post by satishreddi_kl » Thu Dec 20, 2012 1:12 pm

Hi,

I hope you guys can help me, I was married last year November and my wife was granted initial dependent visa in feb 2012 as tier1 general dependent.

I was granted my settlement in August 2012 and wife's visa is expiring in feb 2013, so my question is what type of visa she should apply. And shall I use flr(m) . What about maintained funds ( for how long I need to maintain and how much) and English exams. I am really confused..

I hope you guys help me on this.

Thanks

Satish

If your wife completed 2 years with you in UK, you can apply ILR for her otherwise you need to apply FLR(M)

by maintained funds do you mean maintenance requirements? you need LIUK test.

you don't need the life in the UK test for an application for further leave to remain, only for settlement.
