Spouse visa

Post by miss peppa » Sat Nov 02, 2019 2:50 pm

Hello I need some advice...
I was preciously married at age of 21 and got divorced at 24 years old to a Nigerian man he was living in the uk but but he was on student visa then we got married he got him leave to remain whilst we married...
Our marriage broke down in 2013 due to me falling in love with another man in Jamaica and we recently got married in 2019 and I have now applied for family settlement visa/spouse visa for my husband in September.. Will my pervious marriage affect my current plans with my husband...

Not if you meet all the requirements for a spouse visa, including proof of a genuine and subsisting relationship.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

What about the other requirements such as English language, accomodation and income/saving.

Jamaica is an English speaking country so they don’t need to do an English test and I sent in my tenancy agreement to them as I live in a one bedroom apartment and I don’t have any children..

Tenancy agreement without landlord's noc letter giving permission to your partner to live there would be insufficient. Also you should have been earning at least £18600 per year or have 6 months old savings of £62500 or claiming benefits.

11. MAA11 Adequacy of accommodation

The ECO’s judgement should be based on the evidence from the applicant. If the ECO is not sure of the credibility of the applicant, he / she should ask to see a letter from the owner of the property (which may be a housing authority, housing association, landlord or a building society). This should confirm particulars of tenure and occupation of the dwelling, together with a description of the accommodation and, if rented, a copy of the lease.

The onus is on the applicant to provide confirmation that there is no objection to an additional resident moving into the accommodation.

This reads to me if the Eco is not sure about the creditably of the applicant he should ask MAYBE to see a letter from the housing association/ Housing Authorities confirm particulars of tenure and occupation of the dwelling, together with a description of the accommodation and, if rented, a copy of the lease.

Key word is Maybe!!! As I sent a copy of house full housing tenancy this should sufficient and if not the decision will email and ask for more evidence.. No where does it so my application will be denied..

I believe this question has been answered now. Just to reiterate previous answers - it won't affect your current application provided you prove a genuine and subsisting relationship, as well as meeting the other requirements.

Thanks.

No worries feel free to ignore the given opinion but do let the board knows the outcome to benefit others.

Suggest don't assume that members of the forum are not qualified in any way to give advice.

As you have a lawyer, I suggest you ask them for further advice on your queries (you are obviously paying the lawyer) if you don't want any opinions from many experienced forum members, who are all unpaid volunteers helping others in their free time.

As long as the applicant provides proof of a genuine and subsisting relationship, as well as meeting the other criteria then the applicant shall qualify.

6. MAA6 Accommodation: general requirements
The ECO must be satisfied as to:

"The availability and adequacy of accommodation (see MAA14 below).
That (where applicable) the permission of the owner of the accommodation has been given
No additional public funds will be necessary for accommodating the applicant in cases where the sponsor lives in accommodation from public funds. (see guidance on public funds - MAA2)"

https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ion-maa--2

One can only hope that the immigration 'lawyer' isn't also unaware of the other requirements in the Immigration Rules :idea:

It is only you who is totally misunderstanding it. The one you are saying comes under subsisting relationship and the one about which op/you have been advised relates to meet the accomodation requirements. And for the success of visa the both requirements will need to be met and UKVI caseworker is chained up with their policy who excercise no discretion.
