Hi Guys I am a very confused state and is seeking a helpful advice for a spouse visa for my wife- My wife is doing her PhD (last year) from Delhi. I am a UK settled person and looking to bring my wife on a spouse visa to UK. I have got all the documents but I am confused about the 'No objection lett...
no no no sam first get married in a religious ceremony ( for example the ARYA Samaj, who will give you the RELIGIOUS certificate there and then on the spot , of course they will ask for usual checks such as ID etc) then you take that religious certificate to the registry office and get the OFFICIAL...
Thanks Samispousal The problem with getting marriage certificate in India is that it takes a long time. I did a mistake of not inviting a marriage Registrar in my wedding function. Now whenever I speak to any lawyer in India, they say that it will take 2-3 months to get it and then further 2-3 month...
Thanks Guys. I am in talks with NARIC once again. They just do the Bachelor for English assessment plus need a degree certificate with transcripts. My wife doesn't have a BSc degree certificate, as she never took from the college.
Many thanks for reply Rayking. I was aware of the NARIC approval, but the problem in that is that they will just tell if the degree is comparable with UK Bachelor's level or not. They wont tell if it is equivalent to level A1 of CEFR (which is the minimum requirement and a much easier test) You are ...

Hey Guys Could anyone help me with the following queries? I am currently living and working in the UK. I am on Indefinite Leave to Remain. I got married 2 months ago in India. I am planning to apply for a spouse visa for my wife. I have the following doubts - My wife had a Masters and Bachelors degr...
I am on an Indefinite leave in the UK and I have already applied for my citizenship. I just got married in November and brought my wife to the UK for a short holiday. She came on a tourist visa (expiring in March 2014) and I purposely did not apply for a Dependent’s visa as she will need to go back ...
I got my ILR on 4th January 2013 and hence I become eligible for British Citizenship on or after 4 January 2014. I am going to be off on 2 weeks holiday from 3rd January 2014. Therefore, I have booked an appointment with NCS for 2nd January 2014. As a result of this, the Home office will get my appl...
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what a NOC is. Could you clarify? NOC is a no-objection certificate from the employer or the educational institute stating that the organisation does not have any objection if their employee/student travels to country X and we have granted him leaves for Y number of days...
Thanks very much EUsmileWEallsmile I have a follow-up question if you dont mind. My fiancee already took a NOC letter from her university for UK Visa. That NOC letter stated that the college allows her to travel to the UK and grants her a leave of one month (full month of December). However, we were...
Hi there I am settled person in the UK (Indefinite Leave to remain). My fiancée is in Delhi (India) and we are getting married in November this year. After our marriage, I plan to bring her to the UK for a couple of months and then she will go back to India to continue her studies. On these grounds,...
Do you know if I should apply for the Visitor visa under 'Family visitor' category? We have been in relationship for last 6 months only though but our marriage has already been fixed.
Thanks very much for your reply CASA. I agree with you that it doesnt make sense to go through all the hassles of application for spouse visa if she is not intending to stay here anyway. The other thing I wanted to check was that should I apply the Tourist visa after marriage only (November) or can ...
Hi Guys I need some advice on my Fiancée’s visa. I am a UK resident currently on ILR (got it on 4th of Jan this year). My fiancée is in India pursuing her PhD (3rd year). We plan to get married in India on 19th November 2013. After marriage, I plan to bring my wife over to the UK but since my wife i...

Many thanks for the prompt response. As I am in the UK currently, I am also thinking to seek the advice of solicitors in UK. I dont have access to Indian authorities/advisers at this stage unfortunately.
Does anyone know if the 'Arya Samaj wedding' in India is acceptable by the Visa authorities? I am going to apply for settlement Visa for my wife (I am on ILR). Instead of court marriage, I am thinking of going though the Arya Samaj mandir route as its easier and convenient than all the court hassle...
Hi...Coming back with a new question on this thread... Does anyone know if the 'Arya Samaj wedding' in India is acceptable by the Visa authorities? I am going to apply for settlement Visa for my wife (I am on ILR). Instead of court marriage (as discussed above), I am thinking of going though the Ary...
Yes, get the court marriage notice asap. No worries on advice, I've just told you my experience. I've heard many people do as you wish so that your wife comes with you post customary wedding. I didnt have a choice on that way because I met my wife when I went to India and got married - so could onl...
Thanks very much Chili. Again, a very impressive reply! Yes, I should now get the court marriage sorted out soon (in May probably). I will apply for a date in court in coming few days. So you reckon that it is still ok to tell the Visa officials that we are still going to do the customary marriage a...
Many thanks for the great reply Chili. So from your reply I understand that a court marriage would provide me the necessary documents for the Visa. The thing is I briefly noticed in the form to be filled for spouse visa that it had loads of questions about how you got married. I guess if you do the ...
