Spouse visa from Pakistan

[fahadii123]

Hey guys! My wife and I got married in Pakistan in December and we will be starting her application next month but I have a mix of questions that I’d like to ask you..

1. Wife completed her masters from UK in 2017. She has her certificate but lost her transcript. Is a transcript necessary or degree certificate will do for IELTS exemption?

2. I started working on 15th Oct’18 and so my 6th month payslips should be with me on 31st March’19. I only worked for half a month in October but got my first payslip the same month. My question is whether my 6 months payslips will be fine? As I’ve actually worked for 5.5 months in theory. Are they looking at the payslips or the full months that you’ve worked? (I know some of you may suggest to just wait another month to be safe, but every day is a killer and I’d really want her to get here ASAP!) so what is the actual policy?

3. Since my payslips will be with me by 31st march, can I start her application process by mid-march’ish and get an appointment booked for her first week of April? Or should I wait until end of month and only then start the application and booking of appointments?

4. I’m in the process of finding a new place for the two of us but seems like the “non-objection letter” is scaring off the potential landlords. Is this letter mandatory if I’m renting the entire place? Did you guys face such issues with landlords and how did you overcome it?

Thank you!!

1. UK degree alone is sufficient.

2. You should wait, ideally, till you have 6 months full pay payslips.

3. Date you submit online is the date of application and your supporting documents must be dated up to this date.

4. Find a place and don't ask for the letter immediately. Once you move in and are settled, then speak to your landlord that you are applying for a spouse visa and could he provide a letter etc.

A lot of landlords/Estate agents are not cooperative for that purpose. So best is to tell your objective at beginning and only then secure the new place.
