Name of the spouse in Approval Letter

[KV]

Hi all. My HSMP approval letter does not state anything about my spouse's status... Do i have to take it for granted that my spouse has also been approved (I had claimed for spouse's points and showed evidences of more than 2 years of marriage).

Do i specifically need to clarify this with Home office?

Regards,

KV

HSMP application and approval was made for you and no one else. Your spouse will get EC as your dependent. There is nothing to clarify with the Ho.

Pls. ensure when gettin' the LTR that they do not stamp : "Without recourse to public funds and marital bliss"



Good luck, KV.
Do share yr experiences with the board.

Hi, guys...
The point you raised is interesting to me. Cause there is one thing, I have claimed the points for my skilled partner, but we've been living together as unmarried couple and found it rather attractive. But as you said, they do not mention your spause in the approval letter. Then how can I prove to British Embassy that my wife will accompany me as dependant if there is no marriage certificate and all. Have anyone been in such situation before?
I need this to be aswered a.s.a.p because the time is running out and actually we do not really want to get married. But I would like to know if there is some serious reason to do so. How the fact of being unmarried can affect EC and other aspects when come to UK?

Thank you.

'Unmarried' status cannot in any way hamper yr entire 4 year HSMP process. The Home Office certainly recognises an unmarried, skilled partner for points and co-habitation.
