Re: Spouse visa questions

Thanks for answering the questions.

Yes reapplying from the beginning. My wife's visa got expired in March 2022 as we were in Pakistan. We traveled to Pakistan from UK in Sep 2021. We did not apply for an extension.

Thanks CR001.

Yes I am in the UK now and starting my employment from next week. Based on the advice here, I will have to wait for 6 months and then apply so it will be around September when I can apply.

Hi thanks for highlighting. But the example suggest that the person has not worked the full 12 months but 7 months along with 3 months in the current role.
