Hi All,

First of all thank you for your support in advance

I am British citizen and working full time with gross income over 25000 per year. I done a nikah with a lady residing in Pakistan. We did not done any wedding ceremony yet and would lime to apply for spouse visa before I go there.

Will it be possible to apply for spouse visa based on Nikah only?

What form and documents do I need?
Can i apply here in UK ? Any other information will be a great help.

Thank you

Did you travel to Pakistan for the Nikah??

Have you met in person??

She has to apply from Pakistan.

P.S. I have merged your topics. Please keep all questions on the same application in one topic.

[rashismart2000]

You can't marry in the UK if you have already legally married your wife in Pakistan.

[rashismart2000]

Ok thank you. I need to know all information before I start on application. I been told that I can apply from UK in behalf of my wife as long ad I provide her passport, photos etc?

[CR001]

No you can't. She has to apply in pakistan and submit certain document there and the other supporting documents get sent to Sheffield.

There is no "quick" way to do this.

[rashismart2000]

Any step by step guide or links to avoid any issues with the application?

I posted them already in February!!!

Also, you remarried after your divorce decree absolute was grantes/issued correct??

[rashismart2000]

Yes, of course it is correct.

[rashismart2000]

I do not have photo standing next to my wife but do have photos my family along with my wife. As I said we did not do the wedding ceremony yet bit done Nikah over the phone. I went there to meet up with the family in person which is a pashtun culture

[CR001]

Have you met your wife in person?

If yes, when, before nikah or during or after??

[rashismart2000]

Also my employer will not give a me a letter but do have p60 and payslips

[rashismart2000]

I met her before nikah and was friend with her for over 3 years. Always was in touch on the phone and met her several time in family functions

[CR001]

You need a letter from your employer detailing your salary and employment details. P60s and payslips are not sufficient.
