[difficult]

Hi guys,

I will appreciate it if you can help me. As my case details are,

I got a degree of absoluteness in the last quarter of 2022.

I got married in Pakistan in the first quarter of 2023.




Can someone please forward me a full list of all the documents that I need to apply for a spouse visa from the UK and Pakistan?

What possible complications could I face during this process?

How long could this process take?


I will appreciate your help, guys.

Hi guys,

I need to submit my application for a spouse visa for my wife.

I have looked into the Home Office website.

https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/proof-income

I have these documents at the moment.

4 months of wage slips
6 months of bank statements +£16k Savings
Letter of employment Permanent job with £1850
Wedding pictures 20
General Pictures 20
My Passport
Wife’s Passport’s and (and ID Cards) copy (Wife)
WhatsApp Chat history
Money Transfers
Property Documents
Bills – Address IDs
TB test (Wife)
A1 English Test (Wife)
Divorce Certificate 

Someone has told me that if my employment letter confirms that my job is permanent, I do not have to wait for all six wage slips. Can you guys confirm if it's true?

Do I need any additional documents?

Regards

[difficult]

Can you guys also confirm that this is the fee that I have to pay to the Home Office at the time of my online application?

Route to Settlement: £1,538

If so, is there any additional fee, like the NHS fee?

[CR001]

How much are your savings?

You need a minimum of 6 months payslips! Is this a UK job you have payslips for?

You must pay ihs which ihs which is about £1800

How much are your savings?

My Savings are around 40K.

You need a minimum of 6 months payslips! Is this a UK job you have payslips for?

YES I live and work in the UK

Does that mean the total fee will be £3338?

[difficult]

I have spoken with one of the solicitors, who has told me that my chat with my wife has to be in English; otherwise, I have to get it translated. It's hard for me to believe this information. I have asked other guys who do WhatsApp chat in all languages, and their spouse visa has been granted.

Noted:

But is there any way around for wage slips? I have the required amount of savings over £16k, 4 months of wage slips and an employment letter, and a mortgage-free property.

[Londoner007]

You need to be at your current job for 6 months and provide the 6 months of wage slips. Just have sabr for the next 2 months and apply.

Someone has told me that if my employment letter confirms that my job is permanent, I do not have to wait for all six wage slips. Can you guys confirm if it's true?

It's unlikely on the basis that Someone has told you.

Where you meet its requirements, Category B is an option if you do not wish to wait 6 months under Category A.

Hi mate,

Thanks for your advice.

As advised, I have started a real application online, and I do not have any legal-related education or experience. As I am progressing with my application, questions are getting weird for me. For example,

a person who has leave as a Turkish ECAA worker or business person in the UK


I selected NO


2nd difficult part to understand

Your duty to give all reasons for staying in the UK

You must include all your reasons for wanting to stay in the UK on this application.

You need to tell us any reasons why you should be allowed to stay as soon as you can. if you can apply later giving these reasons you may lose the right to appeal a refusal of this application.

You can give additional information in this space provided at the end of this application if needed.

I entered my nationality as British.

Since I am already a British National with a valid British passport, I am making an online application to bring my spouse to the UK. Why am I being interrogated here?

[AmazonianX]

The application is for your spouse so you fill them in with your spouse's details not yours!
Hope in that way it begins to make sense. Ask further questions as they come up.

the job title or position you or your partner hold
! how long you or your partner have worked there
! the type of contract (for example, permanent, fixed term)
! what you or your partner earn before tax and National Insurance
