Physical/Mental Condition question on Appendix 2
Hi,
I'm left with a final question on the Appendix 2 form as part of the spouse visa application for my husband. Has anyone has answered YES to the following question: 1.26 Do you, or your sponsor, have any physical or mental condition(s) which currently requires personal care or medical assistance at home, or have learning difficulties? Put a cross{x} in the relevant box - YES/NO - If 'Yes' please give full details Husband has had a head injury and he gets fatigue/headaches. He currently getting home help assisting with housework duties in our home. A lady comes over 2 days a week for 2 hours while I am at work. I am now worried if UKBA may refuse the spouse visa because he has a condition??? Would hubby be a burden to the UK system or does anyone know why they are asking this question in the application? Thanks, Claire |
Re: Physical/Mental Condition question on Appendix 2
You won't be refused if you meet all other requirements (principally the financial requirement which you, the sponsor, must meet).
Answer the question honestly; if you don't, you may find you have an issue down the road when you apply for FLR. |
Re: Physical/Mental Condition question on Appendix 2
I think the question is probably included so that should you not meet the other requirements, he could be considered under the adult dependant category. I may be entirely wrong but I see no other reason. As Vadio says, you will not be refused because of his physical or mental condition and it is very important to be honest.

Re: Physical/Mental Condition question on Appendix 2
OK thanks for the feedback - I was really panicking there!! I'll be honest on the form.
I have a job offer to go to in the UK and currently working in NZ so I have met the financial requirements so it should be fine I guess. By the way, with me being a sponsor, would I need to fill in the whole Appendix 2 form myself? |
Re: Physical/Mental Condition question on Appendix 2
Appendix 2 is still part of the application that is submitted by the spouse; just more detail regarding the sponsor.
Make sure the job offer is verifiable; you need a letter from the firm and you may need a contract - not totally sure about that, but someone will jump in to confirm. |

(a) confirming the job offer, the gross annual salary and the starting date of the employment which must be within 3 months of the applicant's partner's return to the UK; or (b) enclosing a signed contract of employment, which must have a starting date within 3 months of the applicant's partner's return to the UK. |

Well, they do say 'or' but if you have both, I would send it. It should be the original document rather than a copy.

'Belts and braces' - the more/better the proof, the less scrutiny! :-)

Re: Physical/Mental Condition question on Appendix 2
Hell no! Did you answer yes? They only want able to work and/or rich people in the UK. I should have definitely answered yes to this question for my husband, I answered no. I am not going to tell them that he will not be able to work in a few years.

Re: Physical/Mental Condition question on Appendix 2
I cannot agree with that! Honesty is the best policy! My husband will never work here as we are retired and we got the spousal visa. I would never advise someone to lie on the application form.

We plan to tick 'YES' and briefly say that he has a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) but he is fully capable. If anyone meets him for the first time, you wouldn't think he has a head injury. He is not like a vegetable state or in a wheelchair.

Does anyone know if you can get Supported Living through the NHS? Or would that not be eligible for people who are on Spouse visas?

I thought Spouse visas are entitled to the NHS??

Someone who can come in to assist with personal care and help with household duties (home help) when they are on their own during the day (while I will be at work).
