Hi,
I am a HSMP visa holder and have been working in the UK for 4 years on a combination of WP/HSMP. I am an Indian national and am due to marry a mauritian national at the start of next year.
Given that my fiance will be in India as a tourist at the time of the marriage, I don't think the British High Commission will entertain here there. I have the following questions and will be grateful if you can help me out with it:
1. When my wife applies for a visa at the british high commission in Mauritius, do I have to be present in person or is it enough for her to have my papers to apply for a spouse visa? I have good documentation around salaries, pay slips, tax slips etc.
2. I am currently in UK and she is in Mauritius (she also worked here for 4 years before she left for Mauritius for good). What sort of documents do we need to give for proving our marriage? I was intending to give engagement & wedding photos, a marriage certificate from an indian court. Is that sufficient?
3. I am due for ILR in May next year. Will I be able to apply for wife's ILR straight away or does she have to wait for a minimum amount of time before she is eligible?
4. Are there any other things I need to be aware of from your experiences?
I'll be grateful if you can help answer these.
Many thanks.
