Hi all Having been through the spouse visa route for my wife previously, I've been helping my brother get his application together for his intended. However, in his case, there was something I wanted to clarify since I haven't come across any information on this forum to help answer it. Brief ...

Can it therefore be argued she wasnt actually "resident" in the UK during part of her UK residency qualfying period (ie. 31st Jan 2011 - 8th May 2011)? Maybe but this is irrelevant to the application. There is no requirement to hold a valid visa or to be resident during the whole period. The ...

Unfortunately still waiting. Had applied on 28th Jan through NCS Barnet but have not received ok. Only potential complication I can see is that the start of the residency period was under a student visa (rather than a spouse visa). Otherwise days in/out of the UK and other requirements should have ...

Thanks both. She will of course apply by herself - what I meant was I will prepare the application (good division of labour!). I am surprised they would count the time she was here on a student visa as part of her residency period. My concern was since she left on 30th Jan 2011, she did not have a ...

Hi All I've searched on a lot of the forums here and can't find the answer to my question - great if someone can offer an opinion. I'm a UK citizen and want to apply for naturalisation for my wife.
