Good morning,
Please I would like to know the main process for a spouse visa. i'm presently about to apply but some of the words or option there are a bit confusing.
I opened the family visas option and the category, apply to join family living permanently in the UK.

After I clicked on apply online for this visa I was taken to the application page

But the challenge I have is what should i pick for my reason for visit among the options: visit, work, study, settlement, transit, other, exempt
then under the visa type and visa sub-type what should be my category. Or am i applying through the wrong route?

please help I am having serious challenge with the spouse visa thing since nothing is displayed there as spouse option.
Thank you all.

Thanks for your reply.

Marriage certificate is not issued twice although i have a photocopy with me which has been certified as true copy by the court but they clearly state that we should present original copies of supporting documents. how do i respond to that for my next application?

I have sent them several mail about the missing document but their response has been the same- that it's being escalated to the appropriate department but nothing more than that.
Although some of of the document required were not submitted but that was not referred to in the refusal letter eg. the sponsor letter, the tuberculosis test result.

I was refused because i chose visit valid up to 10 years and as i was told initial visit is supposed to be for 6 months.
can i ask also if my husband could file for me from the UK since he is a citizen and works with the UK government too

Hi, I applied for a visit visa in November but was refused. however, my marriage certificate was not returned to me. what can i do?
I'm about to re apply to settle with my husband is who is a citizen I'm not quite sure what visa type to choose.
