Application for settlement spouse visa

[r_majid]

Hi

I am submitting a spouse visa application for my husband who is in Islamabad.
I have completed all the online application form and the VAF form.
I know that once I complete the online form I should submit it and then book an appointment.
Can someone please advise me on what documnets my husband needs to take to the appointment in Islamabad and what documents I will need to send to Sheffield.

Many Thanks

Hey I have just submitted the online application and paid the fee. I have also paid fee for the IHS.

Application Fee - £1688.38
IHS Fee - £665.15

Are these correct?

I was assuming them to be less then these.

Many thanks

What you pay depends on where you are and the exchange rate HO uses

No it is not an interview when he attends the centre to submit his application!!

Interview if they happen occur later and HO will send a notification if one is needed. Not all applicants or UK spouses are interviewed.

Thank you

Any idea on the sorts of questions asked if they call you back later for an interview.

Relationship, sponsor employment and income and address. General questions that only the spouse applicant would likely know.

Your application fee and ihs fee doesn't match. Ihs is 200/year while fee is approx 650 for 3 years and approx 1250 for 5 years.

The OP is asking about a spouse settlement visa and NOT a PBS dependent visa. They have completely different fees and visa validity.

Please can someone confirm the Sheffield address. Sorry if I'm ask8ng basic things I just feel like I can't be too careful.

Many thanks

This paragraph above clearly states it is for NON-SETTLEMENT, EEA and Returning Resident applications - NOT relevant to your spouse visa application which IS a settlement visa application.

It is this one!

That is besides the fact that it is the same office for both addresses just different departments.

How long do you have to send documents to Sheffield.

I heard it's 14 days, please could you confirm if this is 14 days after online submission or 14 days after biometric appointment in Pakistan.

Thanks you.
