    Frequently Asked Questions

    According to the Home Office's official guidelines, the rules do not explicitly require you to stay in the UK for the entire duration of a Spousal Visa.

    However, it does state that if an individual chooses to spend the majority of their time outside the UK, it may be considered when applying for an extension or settlement.

    Each case is assessed based on its unique circumstances, and the Home Office is likely to take into account the reasons for your absences when reviewing future applications.

    It is important to note that if you are absent from the UK for more than 180 days during the final 12 months of your stay, you will not qualify for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). In such cases, you would need to wait an additional 12 months before being eligible to apply.

    If you wish to submit an application on behalf of your non-EEA partner, you are able to do so. You can collect the necessary evidence, fill out the forms, and pay the required fee. However, when completing the application, make sure to provide accurate information about your spouse who is residing overseas, including their name and relevant details.

    Visas for partners and spouses do not fall under the five-tier system. Instead, they are categorized as UK family visas. As a result, they are not points-based like Work (Tier 2 & 5) and Study (Tier 4) visas.

    As a spouse or partner in the family route, it is necessary to demonstrate proficiency in speaking and listening to English.

    To qualify for a visa, you must achieve a minimum score of 4.0 or higher in both sections of your IELTS for UKVI test.

    If you are the sponsor based in the UK for a Spouse or Partner Visa application, it is typically required for you to write a sponsorship letter.

    The letter should provide details about your status in the UK (e.g., being a British citizen and residing in the UK since birth) and your current source of income (e.g., earning £20,000 per annum as a teacher at a primary school).

    Furthermore, briefly discuss your relationship with the applicant, including how you met and decided to get married. Please provide separate dates for when you:

    • Met each other
    • Started your relationship
    • Got married

    Additionally, include information about your living arrangements, such as whether your partner is listed on the tenancy agreement for your home.

    Make sure to support your sponsorship letter with relevant documents, including:

    • Payslips
    • Employment contract
    • Letter from your employer
    • Latest P60
    • Marriage certificate
    • Bank statements
    • Your passport

    The UK Decision Making branch of the Home Office states that they aim to process non-settlement applications within 15 working days, unless you choose the priority processing service.

    However, there are instances where this target timeframe may be extended or delayed. This is a common occurrence and does not necessarily indicate issues or complexity with the application. Sometimes, the delay can be attributed to a high volume of applications, resulting in a longer review process.

    Starting a new business in the UK is very difficult now and even though we had investment funds, this is no longer enough. We transferred our business model from Turkey to London and thanks to the help of Global Law and their network of endorsing bodies, we were able to get our endorsement and secure visas for my family and I. I have already recommended Global Law to my business associates and I just want to thank them for taking care of everything from A-Z.
