Spouse visa VAF4A form

[ghetto Superstar]

Hello I just want to find out some information. I just started an application for for my future wife to move with me to the UK. I start the application on visa4uk and was asked a series of questions. I am getting marries to her in April My first question is if i should start the application now or after ive got marries? my next question is I click on settlement, settlement then i see options for wife and Marriage , which one of these option should i choose, I am a bit lost at that stage, if i click wife then i get to fill a VAF4A type form this form says she have to be earning over £18000, I have spoke to a solicitor and they told me my spouse dont have to show meeting the financial requirement only me. The marriage selection showed me SU07/12 form. Now i am a bit lost as to which of these options i have to select

I would appreciate any help on this

kind regards

I just started an application for for my future wife to move with me to the UK. I start the application on visa4uk and was asked a series of questions. I am getting marries to her in April My first question is if i should start the application now or after ive got marries?

It is too early to apply now if you are only getting married in April.

my next question is I click on settlement, settlement then i see options for wife and Marriage , which one of these option should i choose,

Settlement --> Settelement --> Wife. If you select 'Marriage' this is for a fiance visa valid for 6 months and to get married in the UK.

I am a bit lost at that stage, if i click wife then i get to fill a VAF4A type form this form says she have to be earning over £18000, I have spoke to a solicitor and they told me my spouse dont have to show meeting the financial requirement only me.

YOU have to show proof of earning £18,600pa NOT your future spouse.

The marriage selection showed me SU07/12 form. Now i am a bit lost as to which of these options i have to select

You DO NOT need the SU07 form for a spouse. It is for adult dependent relatives, i.e. elderly parents.[/quote]

And don't forget that you have to pay the immigration health surcharge of £600 too PLUS the visa application fee.

Further to CR001's advice, you will be unable to submit the Spouse Settlement visa application until the marriage has taken place.
