Spouse Visa Denied need help
 

I applied to join my wife but it seems we used the wrong application form which was for settlement. She is under tier 2 of the points based system until 03/02/2020. Refusal letter stated that :

You have applied to join your spouse in the UK. However your sponsor is currently in the UK with temporary leave under tier 2 of points based system until 3/02/2020. Therefore your sponsor is not a British citizen,is not considered present and settled in the UK and does not have refugee or humanitarian protection status. Your application therefore doesn’t meet the requirements of paragraphs E-ECP 2.1 of appendix FM

My question is now that I need to re-apply how do I go about it to make sure I don’t repeat the same mistake and losing more money

From the information you have provided, it appears your wife is not a British citizen and therefore cannot sponsor you no matter what form you use!. What passport does she hold?

Maybe have another read of your previous threads? I'm no expert, but they seem to give you the relevant info and links, like in this one - http://britishexpats.com/forum/welco.../#post12242560

HTH, good luck.

You need to apply as Tier 2 dependent.

https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general/family-members

YOUR visa will be dependent on your spouse's Tier 2 work visa.

Looking back on your earlier notes you were enquiring about the Tier 2 dependent visa, and it was YOU that had the Tier 2 visa not your wife.

You were told back in May 2017 to apply using the Tier 2 dependent visa route.
