my husband overstayed his uk visa for four years, he originally came here as a student. He voluntarily left the uk and went back to india where we recently got married, i am british. I just wanted to know if he could apply to come to the uk on a spouse visa. Please help me with some information.

He may apply for a spouse visa, subject to maintenance and accommodation requirements, English test and 320(11), etc.

my husband overstayed his uk visa for four years, he originally came here as a student. He voluntarily left the uk and went back to india where we recently got married, i am british. He applied for the spouse visa and now after submitting all our documents, they have asked him to come for an interview. Should we consider this as being positive for us or negative? Also what kind of questions should he expect? Please advise us. Thanks.

well i just need to kno what kind of questions to expect and also being called for an interview.......should it be taken as positive or negative

Being called for an interview really doesn't give an indication either way. Your husband is likely to be asked questions about your relationship and personal details such as birthday, anniversary, where you met etc. As he previously overstayed he will probably be questioned about whether he worked, where
and for how long. He should answer honestly.

Hi Casa, thanks for the reply. Well, my husband had his interview today, the guy just kept asking him questions mainly about what he did before he met me and suff, dint ask much about any other stuff. My husband did ask him whether he wanted to know any more details of our relationship, but the guy said that he doesnt have any doubts that we are in a serious relationship but, he also said that he isnt sure as he has overstayed his visa , so his colleague is going to have a look at the answers and stuff.
Also when my husband asked him when would we know the outcome of this, the guy replied that he isnt sure and that the VFS centre would let us know.
We are really worried not sure what to expect.

No matter, what the outcome is, we had like to thank all of you who helped us with some advice all this while. Hoping for the best.

my husband was refused as he was an overstayer... we are going through the appeal... have you heard anything yet fron the visa people yet?

Not everyone is refused for overstaying.

Each case warrants its own merit!

A spouse visa cannot be refused only on the fact the individual overstayed, there are usually other factors that go with this to determine a refusal.

If you read Spouse Visa and Overstay you will see many success stories, where people have been granted the visa.

Good Luck ridewithnme
