[@usvalve]

Very clear and informative. Invaluable to those who intend to apply themselves, and convinces me that you really know what you're doing as an immigration advisor.

[@LuckyInLondon]

Thank you to Ed Lowe everyone at Migrate. I emigrated from the US to UK with my British born partner April 2022 and I owe it all to Migrate. Everyone at Migrate was extremely professional, prompt, and Migrate's services cost thousands $$/££ less than other firms were charging. Work is picking up as a self-employed property photographer and as a former New York city boy, I am so in love with the city of London. Hire Migrate's services and you won't be disappointed. Thank you Migrate!

[@soniagw66]

Hi. I am an American married to a British National and we've recently found out the fees for the spouse visa and the fees that VFS Global is charging. Would you like to share your experience with me? They say that it will take 6 months for a response...That is insane!!

[@LuckyInLondon]

@@soniagw66 All I can say is that you need to contact the team at Migrate. I cannot speak highly enough of them. This is not something that you want to do alone, but I can swear and attest that you are able to trust these folks.

[@majessamorelos6087]

How many mos does the process took place? Thank you

[@michaellloyd2218]

Absolutely brilliant video from a well informed and trustworthy source. Incredibly comprehensive and will genuinely help change peoples' lives. You should be very proud of this and continue to produce more

[@FlorineGhilbert-bj3nq]

For anyone asking questions about what documentation is needed create an application online fill in the information they request and you will see at the end what documentation is needed for English language requirements and financial requirements. You don’t have ro submit the application it just gives you an idea of what they ask for.

[@Schwaaaang]

So clear, detailed, and helpful. My wife and I truly appreciate this excellent video as we prepare to bring her from Brazil. Thank you!

[@carolinacarvalho4968]

hello, sorry to bother you like this. i am also brazilian and my partner and i also wish to apply, do you mind me asking hows your application going and if there's any way for me to contact your wife ☺

[@ernestabuozyte8933]

I'm interesting to

[@Michanelle09]

Really helpful video presented in a clear manner. This is definitely a great resource for those wishing to apply for a spouse visa. Thank you so much and keep up the great work.

[@jackiepal1851]

Hi how many A4 pages would you provide for photos for relationship evidence to cover 3 years. How many photos would you put on each page?

[@malikfasihullah2323]

I need clarification for one case. If you marry a UK spouse with British citizenship, do you spend 3 years in total in the UK to get citizenship or ILR, or you still need to wait 5 years? if you still need to wait 5 years, what is the point of the spousal visa/citizenship through marriage? Thanks!

[@livevvire146]

Great informative video. Can you please do one on the fiance visa?

[@peterderupe7561]

Thank you so much for this video! Quick question though, if the applicant is currently in the UK on a Fiance Visa and have applied for a Spouse Visa, would the applicant have to return to their home country if the time it takes to process the Spouse Visa overlaps the required stay (6 months) on the Fiance Visa?

[@countywidecomputers]

Fantastic video. Answered many of my questions that I couldn't find answered anywhere else.

[@elainaspencer8686]

Thank you for most informative information. you platform is the first that l have watch and was so detailed in every sense of the word.

What's the difference between inside UK and outside UK for application

[@deepamary8363]

Sir,I want to know whether UK ILR depend visa requires police clearance certificate?

[@sonyiallee7425]

Hi can you tell me more about the biometric appointment? When do I book it? Do I submit my application then book and appointment? How does it work?

[@indialee8534]

does the sponsor/ uk citizen have to stay in the same employment that's meets the financial requirement until the application gets a decision?

[@saaddar]

hello , is it possible to convert from tier 2 visa to tier 4 student dependent visa??

[@Centurionit]

I love your calm, detailed and knowledgeable explanation. keep up the great work! ☺

[@yashjayaswal7396]

Thanks a lot for the extremely detailed video. Just one question - Can the sponsor be a tier-2 skilled worker visa holder, if all other conditions are met? A reply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

[@archiedymoke7187]

Informative stuff, lots of detail here in one place, thanks.

[@MigrateOrgUk]

I am glad that you found it helpful, Archie!

[@kerry-leesmith1545]

Excellent video, well presented and greatly informative!!

[@cal1103]

Hi great video thanks. If you visa is refused do you get your Health Surcharge payment refunded?

[@msuleman3231]

What about priority services availability for inside uk application??

[@Taprisha84]

You are the best. Eloquent and with clarity of speech...hats off....

[@asmaboudia8773]

thank you for this interesting video.I would like to inquire about the IELTS TEST! Last week, I have passed the IELTS test (UKVI general training), is it acceptable ? or I must pass the A1 life skills?

[@Big-Old-Git]

Brilliant video and what a fantastic service you guys give

[@eriveltonnascimento2284]

Thank you very much for this video! this guide is incredibly well strcutrued and explain. Everything was clear and comprehensive.

[@allishacarbon5248]

Your videos are very much useful to my husband as I as we do our process. However, does a supporting letter from my husband be required to explain our relationship in details?

[@annadias7189]

Can a visitor visa changed into spouse visa if they get married here in uk?

[@dangian1]

Very informative video. Best I've seen as yet. Question. After uploading my application, and proceeding to the biometrics, vfs doesnt give me an option for a premium center, only support center. Did I do something wrong on the uk gov site?

[@AtanasVekiev]

Very informative video! I have one question. If I apply outside the UK, this means I am not able to work there, therefore I do not have income, is the income of my partner alone counted? I am applying for the spouse visa, but only my partner works.

[@CgirlAJGM]

Only the sponsor income is taken into account anyway

[@AtanasVekiev]

@@CgirlAJGM So only mine income is taken into account, right?

[@simonegordon8419]

Question! I haven't seen this discussed in any videos regarding visa applications. When it comes to submitting photos and conversations, how much is enough? Me and my husband text allot, as well as daily calls, so how much of those conversations from when we met until now, would be adequate please 🙏🏽

[@tz0py1]

Great video! Thanks for the information!

[@MigrateOrgUk]

Glad you found it helpful, Daniel!

[@drjoyburrows]

Thank you for the video. I have a question: my passport will expire November 2023 and I am planning to apply for my spousal visa in January 2023. Seeing that the current timeline 6-8 months before getting a decision, there is a possibility that my passport may have expired by that time. Will this affect my visa decision? Can it be refused because of that?

[@benyes4702]

the out of country visas are valid for 3 years? but it only says 33 months in the video. should it be 36 months or 2 years and 9 months?

[@raphaelekugum1160]

Thank you brother.. your videos are a true blueprint . I will executing your advice step by step to construct mine. Blessings

[@MommyMelk]

Please please do the fiance video! So informative

[@simonegordon8419]

Very informative, thorough and clear instructions. It was great, thank you 😊👍🏽

[@champ3911]

Hi there . If i could rewind at 7.15 , I wish to have more clarity . If the British citizen/sponsor has travelled overseas and whilst overseas , he/she together with the applicant submits the application form online including the supporting document ( physically ) etc , can the sponsor wait with the applicant overseas until they get a response from the Immigration/Home office ? Or is it mandatory for the sponsor to be present in the uk at the time the applicant has submitted the application( outside the uk ) and has to wait or stay put for a response from the home office until the applicant receives a response ?

[@lizmarcelino229]

Thank you, great service you are giving out for free. Will help a lot of people.

[@fredasarpong2815]

Thank you for sharing the above. Q: The TB is two weeks left to expire, I want to know if I can still use it for my spouse visa application before it expires

[@zorianpatrick8207]

Thankyou for the great video!! I have a quick question. If the sponsor is employed by a family partnership business (NOT limited company), is it correct that this means category A/B will be used, and there is no requirement to submit business documentation. And is it best to clearly clarify this in the cover letter?

[@jaanice3]

When do you do the TB test ? Do you walk in and book or home office will prompt you to. Secondly the English requirements is IELTS UKVI Academic valid to be used for spousal visa.

[@stanleywilliams5635]

Thank you so much for this very detailed information. Question For spouse visa renewal do I need a new certificate from Naric? Or is my old one still valid?

[@Soniaogbeide]

And have family pictures to show as evidence, money transferred pictures taken but not married? But intend to live together after the visa?

[@tomago8482]

Hi hope you can help me answer a question. My fiancé applied for a spouse visa a few days ago and paid for it but the page offered no option to pay the immigration health surcharge as a part of the application. Is this normal for that to happen? If it is, when would she be prompted to pay it? She is applying outside of the U.K.

[@syedmubashirahmed9554]

Fantastic simply great to the point

[@hany7777777]

Thank you so much for your effort. Great Video. Regarding the TB test, I live in a country which TB screening is not required by the UK but I visited one of the listed countries only for 2 weeks and then back home. Do I still need to take this test? Thanks

[@MigrateOrgUk]

Hi @hany7777777, Based on the information required, a TB test is not required. I hope the above helps. Kind regards, Jason.

[@DiaryofaTentwife]

Such a clear and detailed video - got through a lot of your videos now, you present so well! Thank you for the effort.

[@cristiano1339]

Hi, thank you for uploading such a helpful video. Please can i ask how many photos do we need to include in the file? We only have the wedding pictures together, and with family that attended the wedding.. we dont have any other pics together like vacation etc. Will this cause an issue? plz help. Thanks

[@icecloj3390]

Processing time is now 12 weeks, i got that on the form. I hope that's true still...

[@shysultan1125]

Hello. Could you please do a video for fiance visa application. Will appreciate your consideration

[@winningwithease]

Can my partner, who is a Uk citizen and based in the UK, do an application from within the Uk on my (outside UK) behalf?

[@anwuachawisdom2263]

Many thanks for the helpful info. Please if you got a COS how can your family join you immediately after my applications.

[@everysimplejourneybydonna]

So here's our case , we have done our application this month of september 18 but our tenancy agreement that we submitted is the shorthold tenancy agreement and dated as October 1st as our official date of occupancy. Is that comsiderable?

[@haid3r-88]

Does Appendix 2 of VAF4A need to be printed out and completed by hand, then submitted with the rest of the documents? Isn't it kind of the same questions as the actual online form itself?

[@timholland6575]

This is fantastic, covers virtually every question I had. I have one small question, any help appreciated. I have only been in my current job for 4 months. I will therefore be relying solely on cash savings of 62500. However, when you click only 'cash savings' (from the 5 checkboxes), it later asks for: "Details of sponsor's future employment in the UK. So it assumes you are currently unemployed, which isn't true for me. I don't want to click 'rely on both cash and income' since I've worked fewer than 6 months and plus I've been told to give the required no of docs and not more, or else it muddies things a little. If anyone else hit this issue, be very grateful to know your thoughts.

[@giselledevera8309]

Hi, thank you for this very detailed information. I hope you also consider to make a video on how to upload all of the documents on the vfs global as we are puzzled on how to do it. It would be very a big help. Thank you

[@Investigael]

After getting married, do I need to change my passport surname first before applying for the spouse visa?

[@raheelaftab1]

hi just need a little help is it still necessary to download and fill the appendix 2 vaf4a form and upload to VFS global website?

[@lusykoror9777]

really curious what you mean about immigration history? is it the British spouse or the foreign spouse's immigration history that would be the issue? this is the first I have heard about it. This is a great video though. Thank you for being so clear and informative.

[@RogueLegend999]

Can you please elaborate on Suitability Requirements -> applicant is subject to a deportation order. Thank you

[@tayotiamiyu1109]

Thank you for this video. Though,i want more clarification on IELTS UKVI general is needed for skilled worker visa spouse UK visa application.

[@yourkodi3945]

Can a father apply on his daughters behalf? ie i use my payslips etc as my Daughter is still studying?

[@alexess3906]

Great video 👍🏻 … How long after the visa is issued/obtained must the sponsor and partner make entry to the UK? And is there a maximum time frame limit for entry into the UK? Trying to get the timing correct 😊

[@ungratefulmango]

When you apply, you will be asked when you intend to travel. I believe you have 3 months from the specified start date to enter.

[@At-sh5de]

Hi.can I apply when i'm on ESA and PIP .please answer thanks.

[@haid3r-88]

I've taken a sabbatical leave for 4 months which started on the 1st of March and will end on 1st July. I'm the sponsor in the case of our application. I've got written official letters from work explaining that I took a sabbatical in order to get married to my wife and spend some time with her. When filling in the application, do I fall under category A of the financial requirement? I know category B is for UK sponsors that are based outside of UK during the time of application submission, but I'm not technically based outside of UK, I'm just here on a career break (non-paid) for the sake of coming over to get married and spend time with her over here. My employers and I have agreed that they will continue to employee me and I will continue my role with the company when I return in July. Their letter also explains why I have no payslips for months March to June and that I will provide payslips for months Feb going 6 months back. Does anyone have any advice they can give me. Is Category A fine to use in my case?

[@slowmarchingband1]

Superb video, really well explained. Wish I'd seen one like this before hiring expensive lawyers, we could have done our application ourselves. Home Office financial requirements for self-employed people are very confusing, if they'd said simply' net profit' instead of 'gross taxable profit' it would have saved a failed first application for us.

Hi James, Thank you very much for your kind words - I am delighted that you found the video helpful. Kind regards, Jason Capper-Tan.

Hi John, I'm glad you found the video helpful. It is indeed quite a lot of information to take in! As long as you give yourselves enough time to familiarise yourselves with the requirements, however, there should be no issues. Kind regards, Jason.

Amazing video 👏🏼👏🏼 well done!! One question, my husband is already in Uk and I am in my home Country… who should apply for the visa on this case? Him as a British Citizen or myself. What would be the best option?

You need to have bills under your name, you also need to be in the house agreement or have your name shown on a council tax bill.

[@fehintolaojo6803]

Can someone apply for spouse visa immediately after marriage if the partner have been living in UK for over 20yrs? But the other partner is living in other country

[@FlorineGhilbert-bj3nq]

You have to prove that you have been together prior to applying for at least 2 years. It doesn’t matter whether you apply immediately after your get married as long as you can prove that you have been together for at least 2 years. Correct me if I’m wrong

[@deepdoradla844]

Hi, Thank you so much for this great video. I have one question around finances. If the sponsor loses his/her job say 3 months before application but then in last 12 months, 9 months payslips are shown which cross the minimum required funds, is this still okay? Will this be under category B? Does the sponsor need to be employed when submitting Spouse visa application?

I am F/25 I dont work and claim ESA and PIP. My partner and I were looking at the spousal visa but we dont share banking because he lives in the USA and I am in the UK and have my own finances so dont rely on him for financial support. It seems the only evidence we would have to prove our relationship is things Immigration doesnt believe to be relevant. Like photos of us spending time together.
