5 most common questions about UK Spouse visa

#1 How long can I be out of the UK?  #2 Difference between 5 and 10-year route?  #3 Does having a British child exempt from the Financial Requirement £18,600?  #4 English language: A1, A2 or B1?  #5 When to apply for British Citizenship: 3 or 5 years?  #1 How long can I be out of the UK? By far, most common question ever! You might have heard 6 month or 90 days or 6 months per year.  The ruth is: there is no rule. Each case is considered individually. The only rule is “you live permanently with your partner in the UK”.  In practice, with the new online application forms, you will be asked about your trips abroad and reasons, such as holiday or work.  It will attract attention if you spend more than 50% of your '‘visa time” outside the UK.  We recommend to go by the same rule as for work visas: 6 months per year and your main home has to remain in the UK.  If this affects you - please contact us for an individual assessment.  #2 Diffe

Is it time to plan your next UK visa?

Image
Dear friends, Whether your current UK visa expires soon or in a year’s time, it is never too early to plan your next application! You may have to wait for the last month of your current visa to submit a new application to the UK authorities but the key is preparation! We can start working on your case well in advance. This ensures you are ready as soon as it’s time to apply and without the last-minute surprises. Especially if your circumstances changed. At 1st 4Immigration we guide you throughout the application process, beginning from now and ending with the decision on your next visa. This includes any queries you may have during the process so you would have someone to turn to. Advance planning was well-highlighted in the BBC documentary  Who Should Get to Stay in the UK?  We took part in Episode 3, aired 27th June 2019, which focused on 3 couples applying for a Spouse visa. “Our” couple, who made it on the cover picture on BBC together with our lawyer Jules, took mon
