Hi lebart - I am far from the most knowledgeable person on BE in regards to the spouse visa, but I'll give you what I know and hopefully someone else will come along with more/better information.

I'm assuming you're applying from a non-EEA country and you're not living in the UK at the moment? If your situation is different to that, then you'll need to provide more information.

Assuming that you're not from an EEA country and you're not living in the UK with your wife. While it's true that a British sponsor is exempt from the financial requirement if they are receiving DLA, your wife and/or you will still need to provide evidence of how you/your wife will support you financially, as you won't be eligible for most benefits.

This guide gives examples of the kinds of documents that can be submitted to provide this evidence.

You'll also need to provide evidence that your marriage is genuine, and if you are married with your wife living in the UK, and you living somewhere else, you can expect a high level of scrutiny. There are also the usual health, good character and English proficiency requirements. Have a good look at the guide and as I've said, if you're from an EEA country, or you are already living in the UK, come back and let us know what country you're from, or what visa you currently hold in the UK, and you may get better advice.

Still find it ironic... that if you claim DLA, you don't need to worry about the fiance requirements...... amazing...

Your wife will need to provide 'proof of DLA' and proof your marriage is 'LEGIT'

By posting here you may have alerted the UKBA to scrutinise your case.

Vexcore

He never gave any 'details though'

so.. a shot in the dark? you paranoid fella!

scot47

Female on DLA. Two children living with her aged 17 and 22 also on DLA. You bet your bottom dollar that DWP can track that one !

Vexcore

And how many are 'doing that' yea sure they can 'track that one'

Lighten up fella lol

You believe that the State is benevolent ? How can you be so naïve ?

Vexcore

did i say it was 'benevolent' ?

You think im naive? oh wow come original

Stay on topic and help the fella out for gods sake.

Jesus...

scot47

Why should I help someone to come and live in the UK on benefits ?

Vexcore

Then why bother to post in here? (if you don't want to help)

oh dear oh dear now...

Hi again lebart - I think if no one has answered your questions, it's probably that they haven't had any experience of your situation. I think the document I linked to in my post above - about what evidence you could provide to show how you are going to be supported financially, is still the same even though you are applying from within the UK.

If you can afford it, I think it would be a good idea for you to have at least one consultation with a good immigration agent. That would clear up the questions you've asked, and you may then be able to complete the application yourself. You can always come back to BE as you're filling the application, to ask specific questions, if you get stuck.

Good luck to you - there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to be with the one you love!

Vexcore

Exactly, And this is how it should be.

Just apply spouse visa and go to uk live a LIFE.

In china they allow this... in japan korea... all allow this 'No finance requirement at all'

Scot, we don't need to do this to each other. All the OP has said is that his wife is British, and she obviously has a disability as she's on DLA. We don't know her story, and we don't know the OP's story. Be a bit kind mate - although Cameron has bastardised the saying, in the case of BE it's true - we're all in this together.
