Uk Spouse visa application

Post by utchbaba » Thu Oct 11, 2018 3:11 pm

Dear Moderators
I would be grateful if someone can assist me with the following queries.
I’m a British citizen and got married a few months back to my Wife and in the process of bringing her over to join me here in the UK. My query is what documents do my wife who lives in Nigeria needs to supply to support our application and also can I make the application from the UK? Using which form?
Would appreciate your support
Kind Regards

Thanks, CR001 for a prompt reply, hope you don't mind me asking
Can I apply for her from the UK or
she needs to apply and send me her documentation so I can send to the Home Office with my documentation.
Please also do you know the exact form to submit

kind Regards

The online process will tell you what the process is and what documents, including the form, must be submitted in Nigeria and what documents you have to send to Sheffield if that is applicable. The process differs slightly from country to country.
Please also do you know the exact form to submit
Did you miss my post where I stated the forms?? Also click the link I have provided.

Please continue your questions in your own topic. And NO, it is clearly for applications in North Korea only as it says!! You apply using the online form.

So sorry CR001.I will ask this 1 more onfirmation from you before leaving this post.It's related to my last question.

Just to clarify,are you saying,the form I fill online is equivalent to VAF4A for people from outside North Korea?

Yes. N Korea has very restricted and controlled internet access so online form is not available there.
