Hi, I will be applying for ILR Visa for my wife soon, as her 2nd 2.5 year spouse visa is coming to an end in November 2021. (5 year route) In the last 2 applications, I easily qualified for the financial requirement of 18.600, as I was employed by a company. However, in July 2020 I decided to go ...

I'm not making it up. CR001, She can't apply for the spouse visa yet because I have only just returned to UK after ...

Hi, I am a British citizen living and working in the UK. My pregnant Indonesian wife will be coming over to the UK around October 2015 on a 6 month visitor visa. The baby is due at start of February and so I had planned for her to have the baby in England. However, I am now aware of the NHS's new ...
