Thanks to everyone who has replied to us. Is there anything else that we need to know? does anyone know how much spouse visa is and how much we need in my bank account and my wife's bank account? Also is it better doing it through a lawyer from the UK? Thanks

£685 I think, but will be very difficult with no UK income or huge savings...

Oh I see ok. This. Yes it probably will be but my wife is with me in tunisia but i think she will have to go back to apply for a house to do the spouse visa will she? Because i think you need a house there??? It would be good to know if she had to or not.

Best plan is for her to move back to UK, establish herself with house and job, but if she's not working then you are going to struggle, UK benefits are geared to the person in need, not plus one, plus if she's been away from UK for any length of time then she won't be eligible.

If you've been away from UK for some time u won't be eligible for benefits, depending on where you are WRT to NI contributions before you left, normally two years.

Even so, no income and nowhere to stay means no spouse visa for your husband, you need to establish yourself here first and show the HO u can;

1. Support your husband.

2. Accomodate him and urself without overcrowding.

Catch 22....

Yes I know and they know that aswell I have not been away for that long and i will be returning in October to see family but i can be away then return then go away again because i was told that anyway..... But I know that I have to have a house there for my husband to come to but is there anyway for him to come with me??? Thanks for all the replies

As everyone has said to you already, if you want your husband here, you need to get established first or have significant savings. There is no exception.

Sorry if it's not what you want to hear but asking over and over again will not mean that you will get different answers. Unless you want to hear lies.

No you need £100.75 per week after accommodation and council tax so in total you need &403 per months.

I was referring to the spouse visa application fee...

And there are 4.33 weeks in a calendar month, not 4.

Thankyou for all the help

One major point. Are you both over 21?

[ahmed1702]

yes we are I am 22 and my wife is 29. we already have done the family visiter visa and got refused we have now made an appeal and sent it to the embassy now we are just waiting to hear from them we got married here in febuary and my wife has been here with me since january but she goes back every 6 months to see family we are now planning on doing the spouse visa soon we are looking for everything that we have to do to get all the documentations right my wife plans to travel to the UK in october to see family and thats why we tried to do family visiter visa but it got refused because the UK embassy in tunis thought I was not planning on coming back and i was thinking to myself how could that be when we put in the application that my wife was going and returning with me.

[ahmed1702]

Any new information that anyone has would be great to know thanks

[pennylessinindia]

just a wee thought from me if your wife is claiming benefits and living outside the UK as she now appears to be doing this will not be looked on very favourably
