my husband is applying marriage visa i am worried they might refuse. we have been married for 2 years, we have waited till now to apply coz he was under 21.
i rent a 2 bedroom house for me and my two children so there is space
i get 2000 a month and pay around 1000 out for rent tax food childcare.
i have 2000 savings in my account. i do recieve working tax credit and wage from my work. i work full time which is included in the 2000 i recieve a month. we have proof of marriage and contact. emails flight tickets phone records photos etc. he has never been to uk but i have been to visit him lots of times.
what do you think my chances are of him getting visa or refuse

Nothing you have posted here suggests an obvious refusal. Finances look fine. Where will he be applying from?

I understand your worry is about you are applying after 2 year marriage, and the reason why not before , right ?

In your sponsor's letter you can explain you've been unable to apply earlier due to the age restriction. I asked where your husband will be applying from as after the 29th November, he will need to sit a pre-entry English test before submitting the application. The test only requires very a very basic level of English, using everyday words and phrases.

yes he has took the test and he is level 10. his english is good we have never had trouble with understandin each other. he has not got any money in the bank. will this affect the application. will my £2000 in bank plus £2000 going in every month be enough finance for him to apply and get it granted. i know we have to have 102 for us and 120 for my children left over after paying rent, council tax and bills. after paying everything i still have 1000 left a month.

In that case you look fine to go Lisa. It doesn't matter at all that your husband doesn't have savings.

I thought he has to supply 6 months bank statements for himself and me the sponsor. He doesn't work hence the reason for no money in bank. Who do they look for to have money?also I was on. Income support up till 14th october . On 14th october I started working so will this affect it and do I need a solisitor for application?

The text written in blue are the links Lisa. Your husband doesn't need to have income and a bank account as long as you as sponsor are able to support your family financially. Your current situation (finance/employment) is what will be considered...not the past.

You don't need a copy of your passport authorised by a solicitor.

I would do it to be on the safe side. My wife had to submit her child's birth certificate even though there was no application on behalf of her child. If they don't require it, no problem, but if they do, it's a lot of money to spend and not get a visa because of the birth certificates.

Sorry Harry but you're 100% wrong regarding the sponsor's passport. If Lisa isn't submitting her original passport with her husband's application she will need to have her passport legally certified by a solicitor (notary). Every page will have to be copied and certified, including the blank pages.
This applies to all official documents where copies in the place of the originals are being submitted.

Up to you, if you want to run the risk of refusal due to a copy passport not being certified. If you read the UKBA regulations you'll see that all official documents should be certified when submitting copies only.
Personally, I'd consider weighing up losing £700+ against paying for legal certification.
You said in your 1st post that your husband had never been to the UK.
What happened to the successful application for a visitor visa submitted with the copy of your uncertified passport...which you say wasn't a problem?
