Hmm, I'm not sure but it doesn't sound like a good idea, may give the impression that the couple don't intend to settle in the UK.badmaash wrote:if somebody is on a spouse visa and they both husband and wife go on a holiday for 9 months will that effect the application in anyway?
Go to the BIA website and download form SET(M) or SET(O) whichever applies and also the guidance notes. The guidance notes I'm sure ask u to enclose payslips, bank statements etc. If these show you living on the bread line then the HO might take the view you can't afford for your spouse to settle here.badmaash wrote:wanderer calm down there
also where can i find information on financial test for ILR as i cant seem to find anything on it does anyone have the links ?
Why is it 180 days for 2 years spouse and 180 days 5 year work permit holderIMMIGRATION LAWYER wrote:Hello,
It certainly will. The rule is not to exceed 180 day in 2 years in general and no way than 180 days in 1 years/per stay outside of the UK.
If a dependent spouse of a UK citizen reisdes for more then 6 months in a single year/trip, such a leave constitutes a break in the residence and hence ILR application is likely to be refused but FLR application may succeed.
Just thinking aloud here, my Guru Father but could it be cos Spouse visa is definately a visa leading to settlement wheras a WP isn't necessarily so?SYH wrote:Why is it 180 days for 2 years spouse and 180 days 5 year work permit holderIMMIGRATION LAWYER wrote:Hello,

It doesnt work for me that you have the same amount of absences whether it is 2 years or 5 yearsWanderer wrote:Just thinking aloud here, my Guru Father but could it be cos Spouse visa is definately a visa leading to settlement wheras a WP isn't necessarily so?SYH wrote:Why is it 180 days for 2 years spouse and 180 days 5 year work permit holderIMMIGRATION LAWYER wrote:Hello,

So a spouse would be expected to make the UK their home and live her, and WP holder may still have their ties to home?
I think that is a brilliant piece of analysis by me.
