Hi everyone, a very insightful thread we have here. Please I have a question.

Is there a minimum duration within which a relationship has to have lasted before it's seen as subsisting?(Based on the Visa Officer's discretion)
I ask because I met and engaged my fiancee within the last half of this year (With proof). We are getting married in march due to how overbearing the distance has been. So that rounds everything up to 8months. Do I have a weak case here? Would this make our marriage less believable?

ODOOA:
@justwise and every other contributors, I am now in the UK. Thanks for all your supports. I am grateful. May Almighty continue to be with you. Words alone can't express how grateful I am. Thank you all.

Hello,

Is it possible to apply for the spouse visa in UK, for example, go to the UK with a visiting visa and apply for the spouse visa while you’re there?

mimilyrics:


No. You have to be on a visa that allows you to live and work in the UK, not as a visitor.

Thanks for your response @mimilyrics, do you have a reference for this?

I want to bring my wife to uk back, she was deported for a crime “sham marriage” she committed 7year ago. We have a son together and we are legally married now. I am planning to apply for a spouse visa for her and my son. What are the chances.

This is my story
I married my spouse 2014,he based in uk,but because of d anxiety that I want to go nd meet my husband we made a wrong decision,I applied for visitor visa 2015 through an agent who told us he will provide all necessary documents because then my husband was not having a good job nd he just moved frm London to Manchester,not knowing dis guy used fake documents nd all,he even changed my spouse to another name nd provide another marriage certificate nd I was refused due to fake bank statements nd fake references,though I dnt knw why I was refused because he ran away with refusal letter,Nov last year I applied for spouse visa when my husband is financially ok nd we have all d evidence,and I was refused because I provided my marriage certificate of 2014 with my husband when I told them am still living with my previous husband in my previous application with marriage certificate,so they are convinced that my marriage with my real husband is not genuine,am confused on what to do because we want to appeal
N.B———I can’t find d agent and I dnt knw what date he filled for my previous marriage certificate even if I want to apply for divorce paper
Pls help me because am going through trauma already
What can I do to correct my mistakes....thanks in advance.Below I included my reason of refusal

Good day all and happy new year. Please I need some clarification. My wife, a nurse relocated to UK following the route of Tier2 Skilled worker and her employer paid for all the traveling processes with a 3months accommodation. In her CoS, it was ticked by employer to certify Maintenance

Now I am applying as a defendant, would I need proof of funds and also am I required to physically present the original copy of our marriage certificate? I am with the scanned copy and photocopy as she took the original along with her.

Thanks

Pamelapencil:


You can print the scanned one, and also have the photocopy handy, because you will need all documents to be in A4 .

As regards financial proof.
Hers should be used.

Pamelapencil:

Congratulations.
