Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

I've asked several times above that everybody puts any questions on a separate thread. This is a long standing general chat thread, which is pretty much obsolete now, so your questions are likely to...

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

As above - PLEASE ask any questions in your own separate thread (with a relevant title). They just aren’t likely to be seen on a general chat thread.

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

You want new thread, not new post - big brown button at the top left of each forum.

There's also a FAQ (on the blue bar at the top of the page) which will talk you through it.

HTH.

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

As above - please start your own thread with any questions, they're just not likely to receive a response tacked on to the end of a general discussion thread.

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

Guess you missed the bit where I said I was playing devils's advocate.

Your info on US marriage based visas seems very out of date btw (K-3 visa, who even uses that route anymore?!?). :lol:

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

1) No other country that I know of does visa interviews for spousal applicants, as BiP said it's a tick box exercise, either you meet the requirements or you don't, there's no leeway so not sure what...

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

Hi, as has been pointed out to you previously, it’s not a similar case. You were refused due to suspected fraud, that’s entirely different.

But please don’t ask other members for their personal...

:lol: Other countries take a year or more to process spousal visas. Believe it or not, the UK is actually quite quick in comparison to most.

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

A NSF email is saying exactly that - that your application is more complex so will take longer. The reason for that delay will be unknown to anybody on the forum, it could be that you are from a high...

Can I suggest you start a new thread with your specific situation i.e. earnings and savings? This thread is only for chat, questions may not be seen or responded to on it.

Thx.

As above, that won't work as it can't be self-employed income.

You need a second salaried job.

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

It won’t be fine if you’re only earning £18,000, the minimum is £18,600 so you’re simply not eligible to sponsor unless you’ve been earning that amount for 6 months. So you’ll need a second job (or a...

The petition is about the criteria for visit visas, which isn't what this thread is about.

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

One thing you've not mentioned is where your spouse is from? High fraud countries such as Nigeria or India tend to have longer processing times, so that is a factor.
