UK Spouse & Partner Visa Applications
Building a life with your spouse or partner in the UK is a significant and exciting step. The UK Spouse Visa application process, however, is complex and demanding, with strict eligibility criteria that must be met precisely.
At Asher & Tomar, we specialise in helping couples navigate this intricate process. Our expert immigration solicitors provide the clarity, support, and meticulous preparation needed to submit a strong application, giving you the best chance of a successful outcome so you can focus on your future together.
Understanding the UK Spouse Visa
A UK Spouse Visa (under the Family Visa category) allows the spouse or partner of a British citizen or a person settled in the UK to live in the UK for an initial period of 2.5 years. After this period, you can apply to extend your stay and eventually for indefinite leave to remain (ILR).
Key Eligibility Requirements
The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requirements are stringent. The main criteria include:
Relationship Requirement: You must be in a genuine and subsisting relationship with your sponsor (your spouse/partner). You must be legally married, in a civil partnership, or have lived together for at least 2 years.
Financial Requirement: The UK-based sponsor must have a minimum annual income of £18,600. This requirement increases if you are also sponsoring dependent children. This can be met through:
Savings over £16,000 (held for at least 6 months)
Certain specified benefits
Accommodation Requirement: You must have adequate accommodation available in the UK without recourse to public funds.
English Language Requirement: The applicant must meet a required standard of English by passing an approved test at a minimum of CEFR level A1 in speaking and listening, or by having an academic qualification that is recognised as being taught in English.
