Many thanks for your reply. Really appreciated.

Few more questions are as follows.
1. She is a doctor she is making money over there not required for her maintenance. Do I still need to prove of money sent to her?
2. As I said she is a doctor. She still requires an English test for her or not.?
3. What's the timeline for a spouse settlement visa to get it approved after we applied.
4. Evidence of adequate accommodation in the UK. Means to submit tenancy agreement in my name.

Thanks

1. No harm if you send money to your partner as means of support which can suggest evidence of genuine and subsisting relationship.

2. Yes it is mandatory to show you meet the English language requirement so either take an English test or she can use her Degree to go through NARIC to state her qualification is equivalent to A1 or above.

3. 60 WD

4. Yes and letter from landlord.

One more question. I am a British citizen recently got married and my wife is from India and she is an Indian citizen. We are expecting a baby, if our baby born in India can we apply for a British passport for our newborn baby from India.?

I am new to this. Can I apply for a spouse settlement visa with a child British passport or I can apply dependent visa for the child with a spouse settlement for my wife.

Can you please help me out with this I am a bit confused?

Thanks for your help

[CR001]

A British child cannot apply for a visa.

Apply for a certificate of entitlement to right of abode.

[sahoo]

many thanks for that.

certificate of entitlement to right of abode

For this certificate, the baby can come to the UK.?
A spouse settlement visa is a type of dependent visa right? correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you for all your help!

[CR001]

For this certificate, the baby can come to the UK.?

Yes. It is a visa vignette put in the Childs foreign passport.

A spouse settlement visa is a type of dependent visa right? correct me if I am wrong.

Yes.

[sahoo]

Few more question.

1. The timeline for the visa gets approved for a certificate of entitlement to the right of abode for child and for spouse settlement visa.?
2. Do I need to pay IHS charges for the child as well.?
3. I can pay the visa fee from UK.?

Thanks very much appreciate it.

[CR001]

1. Certificate of entitlement is NOT a visa. It can be processed in a few weeks. Spouse visa can take up to 90 working days, sometimes longer

2. No. You are NOT applying for a visa for the child.

3. You pay online.

Thank you very much!

One more question:
My wife is pursuing PG and I am thinking to apply for her a visitor visa for a month instead of applying spouse settlement visa for now. We are expecting a baby in the month of November and she will be completing her education next year. Once she completed her education will apply for the spouse settlement visa at the same time apply for baby certification of entitlement.
I am a bit confused about what to do. Please assist me with this.?
