QUICK OVERVIEW
Overview
What is the Spouse Visa?
The Spouse Visa (also called the Partner visa) allows the husband, wife, civil partner, or unmarried partner of a British citizen or someone settled in the UK to live together in the UK. It is one of the most common, and most heavily scrutinised, family routes.
Applications are assessed against the genuine relationship, the financial requirement (currently a minimum income threshold), suitable accommodation, and English language ability. Even genuine couples are regularly refused due to incomplete or poorly evidenced applications.
We prepare your relationship evidence, financial documentation, and full application meticulously, because in spouse visa cases, the quality of evidence is everything.
