Your husband will apply from Zimbabwe

3. Where do we get the application form from?
You apply online: https://www.gov.uk/apply-uk-visa
4. Do i have to use the lawyers or we can do it by ourselves?
Given your partner's immigration history you may want to seek legal advice, however I know there are people who have had similar experiences and been successful without professional assistance.
5. How long do I have to have tent agreement?
I don't understand this question.
6. How long does it take to process everything or to get back to you?
Depends on the country and the workload at the time. Check https://www.gov.uk/visa-processing-times
7. What other things do i have to know before i apply?
If you decide to do it without legal assistance then make sure you read everything thoroughly. Ask here for anything you need help with.

Thank you very much for your help, but if he has to apply how will he provide all the documents? From my side (UK)
How long to I have to be working? Because I have been working in my workplace for 10 months
If I need accommodation how long do I have to be living in that property?

Thank you guys you are being so helpful

You will need to send the documents to him in Zimbabwe.
If you have earned the equivalent of £18,600 pa in 6 months you can apply using Cat A if all monthly pay is above £1550 or you are paid by the hour, day, etc. If you cannot meet the requirements using Cat A, you will have to use Cat B which is by evidencing your last 12 months of earning.
It doesn't matter how long you have been there. What matters is that it is big enough for you and your partner and you have permission from the landlord for your partner to join you.

[Filima]

Thank you very much, I will try and put all the documents together.

[Filima]

Hello,

I'm putting all document together and my communication with my husband is more that 800 pages, (1) do i have to print all?
(2) What is Cat A?
I'm having problem in getting a place to stay, (3) I want to know if I get studio flat will that be fine or a share flat? someone with 3 bedrooms house living alone offered me to move in with them along with my husband when he comes, will that be accepted? what does the homeowner have to show has a prove?
(4) they ask for employee letter, what do they have to write in the letter?

Thank you very much for your help.

You don't have to print all,just print for like 10 pages for each month covering your length of relationship or being apart.
Cat A is one of the ways of meeting financial requirement,Google appendix FM SE,read about it and then ask specific question not clear to you.
3. The letter will state your employment,how long you've been working, type of employment and your annual income by adding your income in 6 months or 12 months. Read about it as advised,so you understand a bit of what it's all about.
4. Studio flat is fine,as long as you have tenancy agreement preferably with tenancy over 6 month, you might need inspection report, stating the accommodation is big enough for 2 of you.
Your present accommodation is fine too provided you'll have a room exclusive for your use and hubby,they can give you the mortgage papers and property deeds, they can write a letter that a room will be for your exclusive use and inspection report states the property won't be overcrowded should your hubby lives there.

Hello,

I'm still collecting all documents for the sponsor visa for Zimbabwean, but my husband's english test appointment is on the 28.03.15 and the result it may take 2 weeks, like the TB result took 2 months.
but I want to submit the application form before April changes and the fees. I want to find out few things please.
my question is,
1. Do I have to wait until he complete the english test and get the result before submitting the form?
2. Do I have to have all documents before submitting?
3. https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk is this the real (genuine) website for the visas?
4. is it best I complete the form and pay the fees or is best if he does?
5. which option is the best, to print the form and complete or to do it online via the website above, the one I provided?

I'm sorry if I am being a pain.

I think it makes sense to have all your documents ready before online submission,you only have 2 weeks or thereabouts to submit documents if you pay online and submit the application.
You can complete the form and pay if that will make it easier,all he's got to do is to then print over there and sign it.
I don't know about your country, but there's no option of printing and filling, you need to do it online.
Yes,the website is correct,you'll register his details like he's the one doing it,you can fill it without submitting until you're ready but I think it shouldn't be more than a month or two,not very sure about that.
