Join family living permanently in the UK

Post by SyS64786 » Wed Oct 12, 2016 2:01 am

Can some please guide me if i have to show £18,600 on bank statement ? or do i have to show that i am working and earning 18,600 per annum. I am actually still a student and not working so is my spouse studying. we are both uni student.

We would be the best way and easiest way to join my spouse in UK. She is in UK while i am not.


"£18,600 per year if you’re applying only for yourself"

Income (per year) - not savings.

Without income you would need £62,500 in savings, held in an accessible account for at least 6 months.

6. She has already got visa and would be able to apply for
Passport in 3 years.

What visa are you applying for? Your partner is not settled and you are not pre-flight family.

Are you sure of the reason for rejection? I cannot find a code 320 (A). Is that 320 (7A)?

Have you lived together in a relationship akin to marriage for the last 24 months?

You won't qualify for a settlement visa until your partner is able to meet the £18,600 annual income level.

Also, as you haven't lived together you would have to marry as you don't qualify as an unmarried partner.

A couple things:

UKVI do not consider you to be family, so you cannot join her (you will not fulfill the unmarried partner category). Non-settled persons cannot sponsor a fiance or proposed civil partner.

They have accused you of deception in a previous application, so unless you can sort that and convince them that there was no deception you will not be granted a UK visa for at least 10 years, as any future applications will be refused under 320 (7B). This was all laid out in the letter you would have received with the deception refusal. Did you lie or misrepresent yourself? Did you send false docs?

So we first have to get married and then apply it ? and secondly I was given warning ( PND ) in UK and whenever they gave me i was told it is just for Police identification purposes and i wrote no to question

HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY OTHER PENALTY IN RELATION TO A CRIMINAL OFFENCE; FOR EXAMPLE A CAUTION, REPRIMAND, WARNING, OR SIMILAR PENALTIES IN THE UK OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY?

Have a read:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... nce_v2.pdf

But honestly, you are going to have to prove that you were not trying to deceive the IO in the first application. Ignorance is no excuse, so I am not sure how you are ever going to get rid of that...

You also seem to be ignoring the fact that you won't qualify for a spouse or fiance visa until:

1. Your partner has settled status
AND
2. She is earning £18,600 p.a

You say that your partner will qualify for a passport in 3 years time. She will first need to have been granted ILR and then British Citizenship before she can apply for a British passport.

What category of visa does she currently hold and when was it issued?

if she has 62,500 £ in bank or if i have in my bank and we are married in any other country other than UK. would i be able to apply for spouse visa. 62,500£ funds can be held in any of us account or joint account ?
She will get her citizenship in 2020 or 2019.

As has been said, you cannot be the spouse of a settled person if that person does not hold settled status (ILR or citizenship)!

You haven't confirmed what category of visa your partner holds at present, only that she previously claimed asylum. :?:

When will she qualify for ILR (not BC) :?:

In which case, the earliest your partner will qualify for ILR (settled status) will be in 2019. Until then she will be unable to sponsor you as a fiance or a spouse, regardless of income or savings.

If your fiance is a refugee, she has claimed humanitarian protection in the UK... this means she is not an EU citizen. What EU rule would apply??
