spouse visa check list

[fs1252]

Hi

I have collected all documents and now in the final stages of submission but few questions
I really cant afford to pay 500-750 gbp to a lawyer for filling an application form so i need your support

My case seems to be straight forward as i have my own three bed house & same job for over 5 years (pay 27-28K per year)

wife has done tests for TB & IELTS

Now i have completed the online application and want to know whats next:

Do i pay healthcare surcharge first and then submit online application or otherwise?
Also is it worth to pay priority if i am planning her travel date on 14th April?

I also met my wife on Nikah and not before and after that on the second day of nikah. After that she went to Saudi with her parents and is going back now to Pakistan. Do i need to add this as additional info for home office, i will provide our call & message record to home office any way

thanks

Now i have completed the online application and want to know whats next:

Do i pay healthcare surcharge first and then submit online application or otherwise? Must be paid before you submit.
Also is it worth to pay priority if i am planning her travel date on 14th April? Your choice but it does not guarantee it will be done as a priority application.

I also met my wife on Nikah and not before and after that on the second day of nikah. After that she went to Saudi with her parents and is going back now to Pakistan. Do i need to add this as additional info for home office, i will provide our call & message record to home office any way Have you only met her once and for one day?

thanks

I am trying to figure out the timeline for priority or non priority if you can help please so i will apply accordingly?

Actually twice, once on the the day of Nikkah and on the next day of nikah we went for a meal with family. is that a problem??
thanks

There are many members who have applied for priority end of last year and are still waiting, so there is no guarantee.

You will need to submit substantial evidence from when you last met, of subsisting relationship and communication.

When did you get married?

What photographs are you submitting of the wedding/honeymoon etc?

[fs1252]

got married 17th Sep
met on 18th sep
I flew back to UK on 24th Sep

she went to Saudia to her parents in Oct/Nov

We only spoke once before Nikah on phone as it is arranged marriage, since nikah we have have talking on whatsapp & calling each other everyday

I will be sending nikah pictures with my case

We are doing waleema on 2nd April and plan to fly back to UK on 14th April

thanks

Sorry, I am not from the Asian sub continent so not familiar with the process and phrases you are using.

got married 17th Sep

How did this happen if you were not there?

[fs1252]

we got married on 17th Sep (wedding day) and both of us were present that day and met for the first time
2nd time we met on 18th sep on a family meal
I flew back to UK on 24th Sep
she went to Saudia to her parents in November as they lived thee

We only spoke once before 17th Sep wedding day) on phone as it is arranged marriage, since 18th Sep we have been talking on whatsapp & calling each other everyday

I will be sending wedding day pictures with my case, but my concern is that I only met her twice hope that is not an issue with home office

Our plan is to give a reception on 2nd April and that the day she moves in with me to my house in Pakistan and then plan to fly back to UK on 14th April

thanks

the requirement is that you must have met. HO doesn't elaborate on this. Not spending time with your new wife after the wedding might raise eyebrows though.

[fs1252]

Is it ok if I add 2-3 three screen shots of whatsapp chat and phone call records from every month, will that be enough

[asif_sharif]

yes

[skp80]

You need to prove that you are in a genuine relationship, might be a good idea to provide any call records/ Whatsapp screenshots/ all photos that you have together

I did not spend time with my husband after we got married and he flew to his country as he had family emergency. I still got my spouse visa when I applied. Home office interviewer asked this and we just said it was family emergency. Wasnt a problem for me based on my experience. Wish it goes well for you

Hi, I will be applying for my husbands visa at the end of the month. I just wanted advice on the priority service. Do I have to pay for the priority service online or will my husband pay for it at the visa office when going for a biometric? Also how has everyone put things in the envelope they have sent evidence in. Sounds like a silly question but have you put things in certain order and what have you written on the envelope?

[fs1252]

Hi Can you please guide me through the full process as its a bit confusing

I pay health insurance first before application submission but how do I get IHS number

Do I pay for application first and then priority fee or they are charged together

My webpage show below links but it doesn't makes any sense what is first

Can you add an updated step by step guide, My wife is in Pakistan n I am applying from UK

thanks
