Hello,

When a Russian has arrived in the UK on a spouse visa, do you know if they are required to register with the police, or they need only to collect their BRP?

Thanks

does anyone know if a copy is sufficient, or it needs to be the original that she brings with her?

Thanks - hadn't spotted that.
I guess I'll have to post it back to my spouse before she flies to the UK

Hello, My spouse has been granted a visa for the UK. She already submitted her TB test certificate when applying for the visa, and it has since been returned to me from Sheffield with her other docs. We heard that she may need to show this certificate when arriving at Heathrow in a few weeks, but ca...

Hello, I'm delighted to say that my Russian wife has just received her spouse visa to join me in the UK, after nearly a year apart. Thank you to everyone who gave us advice and support along the way. We have one question: she is thinking of applying for a Schengen (for Europe travel) in the next wee...

Hello,

My wife and I need to send documents to Sheffield for the spouse visa. Am I correct that we need to send all the original documents, and not copies (bank statements, marriage certificate, etc)? And the originals will be returned to her when she collects her passport/visa?

Thanks

hello, if we are relying on the UK spouse earning over £18,600, it is clearly Part 3A of the Appendix 2 that we complete. But in question 3.3, where we choose Part 3A, there is also a choice of Category A or Category B as to the 'option you are relying on'. I'm not quite sure of the difference betwe...

I'm sure it'll be fine for you. Sorry to ask another seemingly idiotic question, but...am I right in thinking that the visa centre (in St Petersburg) will keep her passport until the initial 30 day entry visa is ready to collect, or they only scan your passport at the biometrics appointment and then...

Thanks, Andrew

thanks. regarding the Appendix 2, your wife filled this in by hand and sent it to you?

Hello, The information on the official sites seems very vague and unclear regarding the documents submission for spouse settlement visas. My wife (currently in Russia) has done the online application, and has her biometrics appointment in Russia next week. Am I correct in thinking that she needs onl...

Hello all, I've been looking for info on this issue, but can't seem to find any. When a foreign national is applying for a spouse visa, from outside the UK, are there any rules about how long their passport must be valid for? I mean, the visa she hopefully gets will be 2.5 years, but the passport fi...

sorry to interject - but despite the good 60k salary, am I right in thinking that you still need to be in this employment for 6 months before you can apply? just asking because you mentioned 4 months

It's horrible I moved back to the UK late last year and feel that I have done well to start a new career on about 24k - well above the 18,600, and in a couple of months it'll be 6 months of employment, so I'll be ready to apply for my wife to join me. If they whack it up to 25k or higher, I will fee...

In today's election manifesto published by the Conservatives (who are widely expected to comfortably win June's general election), they make mention of a wish to raise the earnings threshold for people who sponsor a family member to join them in the UK. With all the controversy over the existing 18,...
