Re: shortest way to get ILR after not meeting income requirement?

The shortest way is to meet an income requirement and reapply now for FLR(M); otherwise, after 5 years have already passed, doesn't matter which way she racks up 10 years. She has already been granted an extended visa (10 years route), did you mean that she is able to re-apply again considering tha...

shortest way to get ILR after not meeting income requirement?

My wife applied for an extended spouse sometime in July, due to not meeting the financial requirement she did not get the 5 years settlement, instead she was switched to 10 years (additional 7 years) settlement due to having a British born baby. Is there a way to reduce the 7 years until she gets he...

Re: Applying to renew Spouse visa past the 28 days grace period.

My wife is in panic at the moment and i really do not know what to do, when she panics, i panic. Its a bit confusing because HERE it says this: Extendin...

Applying to renew Spouse visa past the 28 days grace period.

My wife's visa will be expiring on the 25th of July, while her appointment with UKVCAS will be on the 5th of July.
Meaning she only has 20 days to stay in the UK until her Visa gets approved. Do we need to worry?

To be honest i have yet to claim any Universal credit or is planning to do it anytime soon. But once i have overcome this hurdle then i will look into claiming Universal credit.

IF i officially started working as self-employed (sole-trader) on Nov (2022), then renewed my wife's via application on April 2023, does this mean that i will not qualify on either Category F or G since i have just started by self-employment?

Re: Renewing spouse visa but the sponsor is self-employeed

The 10 year route is going to be very expensive: fees and the IHS (both of which can rise). The £18,600 to sponsor is very low and easy to reach. If all you can earn is minimum wage (£9.50 per hour) you can work just under 38 hours a week to reach the £18,600. £9.50 x 38 = £361 x 52 = £18,772 pa Jo...

Re: Spouse Visa Income requirement

I am earning £1416 per month before deduction, where can i see the £1550 minimum? is that for the 10 year route? No, it is the requirement for the normal 5 year spouse visa. Appendix 1.7 below explains the financial requirement. £18,600pa = £1550 per month. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/...

Re: Spouse Visa Income requirement

10 year route applications from outside the UK are rarely approved and usually only when British children are involved etc, which doesn't appear to be the case for you. You need to meet the income requirement to be able to sponsor your spouse otherwise it will be refused. What do you currently earn...

Re: Spouse Visa Income requirement

For meeting the financial requirement you must have been earning £18600 annually or have cash savings of £62500. First £16000 will be excluded from calculations if you are combining cash savings with your earnings to cover any shortfall. For bringing your partner from outside the UK you must have t...
