Hi Guys, I'm querying about what the NHS Surcharge is, and what is it for? Also, once my spouse arrives in the UK. After paying the NHS surcharge, what does she get access to? Free check ups from the doctor & free medication? Or do we still have to pay. I don't understand what the surcharge is e...

Hi Guys, I'm a bit confused on something in regards to the spouse visa application. I understand that I need £18,600 to sponsor my wife to come to the UK - and with a child that requirement is £22,400. However , if I am the father of the child, is the child then not automatically British? thus not ...

Hi Guys, I was thinking about proof of relationship for my spouse visa application and if what I have would be considered suitable - I have over (at least) 2 years worth of whatsapp messages and messages from an app called 'between' which is a one-way messaging system designed for couples. HOWEVER t...

It just dawned on me because I was at a party and sitting in work today like "Oh god.. what have I done.." but I'm glad that's not the case.

Thank you, CR001. You're doing gods work here.

Hi, So this is a silly question, I already know, but I thought I'd double check. Is there any drug testing required for the spouse or for the person sponsoring the spouse? No history of drug use, nothing. I'm asking primarily because I've read somewhere that it is required. I occasionally smoke so I...

I think it is £400 or £450 for priority service but there is no guarantee that it will be processed quicker. A lawyer also does not guarantee success, they have no sway with HO decisions. See also this detailed explanation for Spouse visa from Pakistan (click) Of course, however I imagine the lawye...

If you have variable income, HO will take the lowest monthly amount and multiply that by 12 to calculate the financial requirement. The key is to make sure you get a minimum of £1550 EVERY month. Right, I see. I have one last question. I recall a few months ago I seen an option where if I paid £600...

Guys, sorry if this sounds silly. But is it still fine if I work two jobs with different companies? So I am employed at for example say Asda and Capita. Would this be fine for Category A? This really sounds stupid as I type this but, it's always best to double check. Yes. Thanks. I am also working ...

Have a look at the VAF4A Appendix 2 Form. The section/page which relates to employment for you (Part 3A, Page 6) will need to be completed for both jobs. Provide further information/explanation in the space provided at the end of the form and in your covering letter. Gross salary is what is counted...

See section 5 and specifically 5.6 in the link below. It appears 6 months should be ok. As I said, I stand to be corrected. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/525708/Appendix_FM_1_7_Financial_Requirement.pdf That's great news! Thank you very much. So with two ...

Please can anyone advise me on this? I don't want this thread to get buried. I am incredibly anxious and really need some guidance. If I work two jobs, am I excluded from CAT A? By the time I apply for the spouse visa I would have been at my job for over 6 months.

Does anyone happen to know anything? I'm actually losing sleep over this I am that anxious. If I need to show 12 month statements if I work two jobs, this completely messes everything up.

Property should be ok. Great, please keep me posted on the 12-month statements or 6-month. It's really vital for me and is making me incredibly anxious. I made a post about it aswell with more information here: http://www.immigrationboards.com/immigration-for-family-members/category-a-or-category-b...

Hi Guys, I have took a gap-year from University to meet the income requirement of £18,600, in order for me to do this I have had to apply for another job, on top of my pre-existing employment (Since October 2015) . My initial employment from October 2015 will now be part-time, and my new employment ...

Once your wife has her initial entry clearance visa and is in the UK, she can work. For the future extension application, both incomes can be used to meet the financial requirement. I will have to do some more reading on the income from two jobs and post back. Hopefully someone else will also respo...

Another question I had was in regards to the accommodation. I've read the overcrowding guidelines but didn't understand it clearly. I live in a two bedroom flat with my parents, we've been here around 15 years. We've recently got the whole flat re-done. My mum and dad will have their own room, and ...

Hi guys, I'm a British Citizen and I am engaged to a girl who lives in Pakistan, we've been engaged for almost 3 years now and intend on getting married come April 2017. If it's relevant, I live in Glasgow, Scotland. I recently also started University, however took a gap-year to meet the financial r...
