HELP PLEASE - Spouse visa

[Unpredictable]

Hi

I would like some advise please.

I am currently recieving pip due to my health conditions and also recieving esa, but with esa am on limited capability so i can not work due to health conditions.

I was wondering can i apply for a suppose visa will i be exempt from the income requirement.

I have been in relationship for over 2 years.

If so what documents will i need from the dwp

And also what documents will i need for my visa application.

I will let more experienced members confirm, but I believe only possibility of not meeting the requirement of income is if you're carer. Getting benefits doesn't make you eligible.

I appreciate I'm not answering your query but you'll also need to demonstrate it's a genuine relationship over the two years - this might be difficult if you've not been abroad to meet your partner - or have you?

I will let more experienced members confirm, but I believe only possibility of not meeting the requirement of income is if you're carer. Getting benefits doesn't make you eligible.

3.6.1. Where the applicant’s partner is in receipt of any of the following benefits or allowances
in the UK, the applicant will be able to meet the financial requirement at that application
stage by providing evidence of “adequate maintenance” rather than meeting an income
threshold:
Carer’s Allowance.
 Disability Living Allowance.
 Severe Disablement Allowance.
 Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit.
 Attendance Allowance.
 Personal Independence Payment.
 Armed Forces Independence Payment or Guaranteed Income Payment under the
Armed Forces Compensation Scheme.
 Constant Attendance Allowance, Mobility Supplement or War Disablement Pension
under the War Pensions Scheme.
 Police Injury Pension.

If you are not married, you have to prove 2 years of evidence of living together in a relationship akin to marriage for an unmarried partner visa. This is mandatory and there is not discretion.

Are you planning on marrying before applying for the visa or are you planning to apply for a 6 month fiance visa first in order to marry in the UK?

It is form VAF4A

Thanks for your advice

No i applied for the 6 months fiance visa but it got refused due to them thinking he werent gona go back and apply from there when he was as he was doing his ielts test to and would have taken documents back with him to apply

But unfortunatly i am having to go abroad and get married there then going to apply

Cr001

Thankz

Is there anything else i need to fill besides the for you have mentioned (form VAF4A)

[Casa]

I appears that you applied in error for a Marriage Visitor visa and not a Fiance visa. How much was the visa fee

[Unpredictable]

@Casa

Yes i applied for a marriage visa and not a fiancee visa which was my mistake as i didnt no so thats why i am going to get married and apply for a spouse visa instead

I do appreciate you response thank you

[Casa]

If you find that travelling is a challenge, you could still apply for the correct fiance visa and marry in the UK.

[Unpredictable]

@casa

everythings arranged now for marriage to take place abroad so no going back no so just going to have to apply for a suppose visa


Thanks for you advice


Jus a quick question do i have to fill an online form or just the VAF4A form

[CR001]

VAF4A is an online form. You also need appendix 2 form which is a aper form.
