Visit Visa alternate to Spouse Visa

Post by adil8uk » Sat Nov 12, 2022 12:23 am

I am the spouse of a British Citizen living in India and her earnings are £18600 Per Annum but there is no Super Priority Visa from India. I came to know the waiting time for the Spouse Visa 5-6 Month Process.
Can I able to apply for a Visit Visa from India and what are the chances to get Visit Visa?
If I get Visit Visa, Am I able to switch to Spouse Visa within the UK?

We can't answer that for certain (and I doubt anyone can), but if you plan to move to the UK in the future, keep in mind you'll have to first prove to ECO you intend to return in India and have ties there; but afterwards, for spouse visa, you'll kind of be contradicting your statements.

It is an attempt to abuse the system, exact reason why spouses of settled persons or British Citizen who genuinely needs visit visa finds it difficult to get it. Also, this answers your first question
