    If the immigration officers discard photos, flight itineraries, call logs, etc as proof of relationship then exactly how does one go about proving this requirement? I can think of no other way of proving you have met your partner and are in a genuine subsisting relationship.

    Hi, how long does an applicant need to be in a relationship with the sponsor before applying for fiance visa?

    • @MigrateOrgUk
      @MigrateOrgUk  Рік тому +3

      Hi @staywell5083,
      Neither the Immigration Rules nor Home Office guidance states a minimum length of time the applicant must have been in a relationship with the sponsor before applying for a fiancé(e) visa.
      Rather, the genuine relationship requirement involves the Home Office caseworker making a subjective assessment of whether their relationship is genuine and subsisting.
      Not only will the Home Office caseworker assess this in light of the application as a whole, but they are also instructed to take into account cultural considerations.
      As much as I'd like to be able to answer with a simple 2-word answer (for example, "3 months"), this, unfortunately, is not possible in light of how this requirement is assessed.
      Kind regards,
      Jason Capper-Tan.

    Great video and channel, thank you very much. Can I apply as a fiance/family visa from a country I'm just visiting with a tourist visa or it mandatory to be in the home country? My home country is harder to go and it doesn't have priority service. Also, because I'm still in the UK with a standart visitor visa, can I apply for Skill Life A2 straight away instead to A1 for the first application and second one to A2 in the extension after 2y6months of the visa being granted?

    Hi, excellent videos, thank you so much for the videos.
    I'm in the middle of completion of the application and the section where it requires details of my fiance children who do not live with him but pays child maintenance, there is no option to say or select an option.
    The option appears to be only what appears to be for the sponsor living with dependants but that is not the case.
    I've selected no and added a comment in the additional information section and will provide the Annual review from the child maintenance.
    Would selecting no children, invalidate the application?
    Would be grateful for any information from your experience.
    Many thanks

    QUESTION: At min.30:16 you are saying that the applicant will NOT be able to legally work in the UK until the first FLR(M) application is granted, so no right to work for 6 or more months?

    • @CgirlAJGM
      @CgirlAJGM Рік тому +1

      The fiancee visa doesn't give you the right to work, so yeah, you'll be dependent on your partner until you get married and get the Family visa.
      It doesn't have to be six months, you could get married and switch visa as soon as possible and get the family visa around 2-3 months after arriving to the UK, and since it takes a long time anyway to get a job in the UK, you could be applying to Jobs in the meantime

      Hi @growin2703,
      Supporting documents only need to be submitted via one of the document submitting procedures.
      Therefore, if the supporting documents have already been self-uploaded via the VFS website, printed copies of the same documents will not need to be posted to the specified address.

      Hi @jacktownsend4169,
      After you have submitted the fiancé(e) visa application, you should be redirected to either the VFS or TLS website (depending on the country the application is being made from).
      It is on the VFS or TLS website that you can book an appointment.
      If you have not already been redirected to the VFS or TLS website, you should log back into your application.
      You will see the subheading "Further actions that you must complete", and then under that, you will see the text which states "Make arrangements to provide your documents and biometrics".
      You should click the green button which states "Provide documents and biometrics".
      I hope the above helps.

    i am the UK sponsor, can i apply for my spouse who i got married to last year abroad in Morocco. Can i apply for her as the applicant?? i,e, my wife. I don't understand how an applicant who respectfully will not know exactly what the UK GOV wants in terms of relationship proof/sponsor finances etc... without there mother tongue not being english despite there pass of the English A1 test. Its naive to suggest an applicant from outside the UK will know exactly what will suffices and what they need to provide or do. So how does a sponsor (i.e. the husband) Do this application for her?

    • @MigrateOrgUk
      @MigrateOrgUk  Рік тому +1

      Hi @youssef.e8173,
      Whilst it is your partner who will technically be making the application, it is commonly the case that the sponsor (the UK partner) completes the application form, helps gathers the required documentation, and self-upload the supporting documents on the applicant's behalf - the online application form caters for this.
      All the best with the application.

      Hi @camiladivina5082,
      If you have a bachelor's degree awarded in the UK, the degree certificate should satisfy the English language requirement as long as the academic qualification certificate shows:
      • the applicant’s name
      • the title of the award
      • the date of the award
      • the name of the awarding institution
      If the qualification was awarded outside the UK, you will need to accompany the degree certificate with documentation from Ecctis or alternatively sit a Secure English Language Test (SELT).
      I hope the above helps.

    I am planning to apply UK fiancé visa to join my partner in Uk. We are already engaged.
    I have applied 3 (times) U.K family visit visa application, the first two was refused and I haven’t did appeal against refusals.
    My 3rd and most recent UK family visit visa was also refused but later it was approved through the PAP application.
    I just stayed 2 months in UK with my UK visit visa vignette.
    Where i meet my fiance”(e).
    I just want to ask does my previous immigration history (i-e) (2 visit visa application refusals) can effect my current fiancé visa application which i am planning to submit. ?
    Please reply

    Very helpful video!
    We are applying for a fiancé visa and using an immigration lawyer. Because my salary was significantly lower than normal in Feb, I’m having to apply under category B to meet the financial requirement.
    The lawyers intended date for submission is 31st July. However I noticed in your video it mentioned the latest Payslip should be dated within 28 days of submission. As we are applying on 31st my last Payslip is dated 30th Jun. Does this mean that we would have to delay the application until I receive my July dated Payslip? This on itself is probably possible, but the bank statement backing it up will take longer to sort out.
    Any info greatly appreciated

    • @MigrateOrgUk
      @MigrateOrgUk  Рік тому +1

      Hi @leelee4321,
      I'm glad to hear that you found the video helpful.
      A sponsor who is based in the UK when the application is submitted is required to provide a payslip which is dated no earlier than 28 days before the date of application (the date the Home Office fee is paid on the online application) if they rely on Category B.
      This is because of paragraph 1(l) of Appendix FM-SE which states "Where this Appendix requires the applicant to provide specified evidence relating to a period which ends with the date of application, that evidence, or the most recently dated part of it, must be dated no earlier than 28 days before the date of application".
      Since the word "must" is used in the above Immigration Rule, if this is not complied with, the Home Office caseworker can refuse the application because of this alone.
      I hope the above helps.

      The fact that the UK partner (also known as the "sponsor") helps with submitting the application and supporting documents does not change the fact that only applicants who are in the UK on a visa longer than 6 months can apply from inside the UK (with the exception of those in the UK on a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partnership visa) .
