I am getting married next month in India, and going to apply for UK Spouse / Settlement Visa for my wife soon after the wedding / registar marriage. I am a british citizen and my wife is an Indian National. I have gone the through UK border agency website, so know what online form that I need to fill in but not very clear about what supporting documents that I need to submit. My wife will be applying for this Visa in VFS CHENNAI. I am thinking of going through a solicitor for help and advice, but they charge about £500 to help with the Visa. Not sure if its the right thing to do. Has anyone gone through this recently who can help me.
