Spouse visa

Nafu · Post by **Nafu** » Sun Apr 28, 2013 3:20 pm

Currently I'm looking for a job, I have 2 children and I am divorced. My partner is in India. When we met, I was working part time in a school on a temporary contract, with the hope of getting a full time post that was coming up. Unfortunately, my part time job ended earlier than expected, as I was on maternity cover. I am looking for work and I am hopeful of being re-employed as a teaching assistant, chances are that it will only be part time. Due to this, it will be under the £18,500 threshold.

A friend of mine has used this board before and has told me that if anyone would know how to obtain a spouse visa for my partner, it would be you guys... So my question is, is there any way I can bring my partner to the U.K via a spousal visa?

How about if I had a family member who earns over £18,600 to co-sponsor?

Are you disabled or do you have any family member here who is disabled and on disability benefits for whom you can care for?

Consider alternative.

For savings income, only savings over £16,000 can be used in the calculation. As vinny says, try the alternative route, if not try for an additional job.
