Visit Visa for Wife before Spouse Visa

Post by kaydee2016 » Sun Feb 04, 2018 12:38 pm

Hi All,

Is it Ok to apply family visit visa for wife (we just married 2 months ago), before spouse visa is applied?
This is due to the fact the it takes long for spouse visa, due to English test etc. Are there any complications in spouse visa if visit visa is applied earlier.

regards

Kaydee

No complications, but you may find it a challenge to prove strong ties to her home country when she has a husband living in the UK. The ECO needs to be convinced that she won't overstay her visitor visa.

If the visitor visa application is refused, it won't have any adverse affect on her subsequent spouse visa application.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
