FREE ADVICE (Spouse Visa)

[mustang390]

If you are applying for a spouse Visa with A Degree taught in English instead of English Language exam, Don't forget to get 2 certificates from UK NARIC

1) Statement of Comparability
2) English language assessment

They refused mine because I only sent one of them "Statement of Comparability " .

Each one will cost you (£55.20) its another technical way of robbing peoples.

Neither are needed if the degree is awarded the requisite points for Qualification and English Skills on the PBS calculator. Moreover, the Statement of Comparability and proof it was taught in English would suffice without the ELA.

True, in theory but my wife's Visa was rejected because of the same thing I have attached the refusal letter here where he mentioned the the reason of refusal.
And I sent the Statement of Comparability along with a letter from the uni stating the degree was taught in English and the Degree is awarded the requisite points for Qualification and English Skills on the PBS calculator as well.

please see the refusal

Nothing we can do now apart from going into an appeal, they kept the application for about 4 months and the outcome is above.

If you put an appeal in (28 days), it will generate a reconsideration which should allow you change to get the ECM to look at the guidance.

Hi all, I am new to this site so i hope I have posted in the correct place!

I need to clarify a question for our spouse visa.

I am married to a turkish man and have done since 2010. I took a career break from my job in the UK to be with him. I returned home in April this year and continued by job with the same employer. I have worked for six months therefore i am ready to apply for our spouse visa.

Question 3.20 - what was your sponsors total income before tax from salaried employment within the last 12 month period.

I meet the financial requirement needed but for the above question, do i write my full wages per annum or actually what I've earned in the six months that I have been back in the country working? Because in that case it may look as if i don't meet the £18600 :/

I would love to hear from someone in our situation or someone who can advise us as this is our only concern at this moment....thank you.
