Spouse visa from India

[Sadsam]

Hi All,
Just need to ask someone if they know anything?
My husband came over as a Tier 4 student. He was granted a extension on his visa back in 2013. Then on 2014 it was cancelled due to this Toiec exams. We then got married.
He applied to HO back in August 2016 but never received a decision. Only a biometric letter. Which he did. Due to his father becoming very critically ill we decided that he had to go to India to be by his dads side. So he decided to go to India voluntarily but only received his passport back, no other documents.
Since he has been gone he has done the English test, tb test, renewed his passport.
I am disabled he is my full time carer.
Can any body tell me what I can do to get him back into this country, as he is my full time carer. What documents I have to submit and how long will it take? Thank you for taking time to read this.

He will have to submit a new application for a Spouse Settlement visa (2.5 + 2-5 years).

As the sponsor you are required to submit evidence that you meet the adequate maintenance level. See this thread on the forum:

In addition to the visa fee of £1,464 he will also have to pay the £600 NHS surcharge.

Hi,

As I am disabled will I need to still show £18,600 for my husband to come here.

[Sadsam]

He is already on my tenancy agreement. Showing he can stay here with me.

No. You need to show 'adequate maintenance' which is why I posted the link with the information regarding how to calculate this.

[Sadsam]

Yes that's fine. Thank you.
Any other documents I need to show the Home Office.
Tenancy Agreement. (Both names)
Adequate maintenance
Electric bills ( both names)
Gas bill ( both names)
Correspondence between us since he went back.
Telephone ( calls)
All other documents are with the home office so I have only copies of marriage certificate etc,
Should this be fine.
Or shall I get some more documents.
Thanks.
God bless you.

[Casa]

You'll have to also submit evidence of the DLA payments etc.

[Sadsam]

Yes for sure.
But what about the documents (original) that are with the home office?
Let me know.
Or will they accept the copies ?
Will he have to go for an interview?
How long is this process?
Thanks
God bless you.

[Casa]

You can submit copies with the explanation that the original documents are already with the HO.

I can't say whether you will be interviewed or not or how long the application will take to decide.

[Sadsam]

God bless you.
Thank you.
Let you know when and how we went on.
Thanks again.

Can you check the website on Non eea family applicants who don't meet the financial income threshold are been put on hold?
Does that apply to my case.
Please check vfsglobal.co.uk
Let me know.
Please.
I am in so much stress now.
Please.

[Sadsam]

Hi,
Is there a hold on visa application from India on settlement who can't show financial income threshold?
Please let me know?
I am worried. As I am disabled. My husband is my full time carer?
Thank you.
God bless you.

[metanoia]

It doesn't apply to your case since you are applying through adequate maintenance and not Minimum income requirement.

Don't worry and have faith.

[Sadsam]

God bless you

God bless you

[Sadsam]

One more question?
Is there a time limit before he can apply? Or can he apply straight away? Due to me being disabled and he being my full time carer?

Thank you.

He can apply as soon as you are confident that you have everything you are required to submit with the application.

God bless you.
