spouse visa requirements
Hi...
new here. My hubby is in the UK and we're planning on applying for my visa this June. I heard my hubby needed to prepare a set number of pay slips before I apply.
Can anyone tell me what I should do? I have pictures, shat history, letters, emails ready. Mariage contract already at hand too. Got maried third quarter of 2006.
I'd really appreciate any info.
Also..I am still working. Do I have to resign before I apply for my visa? (Heard it fom somewhere, and I don't think it makes sense.) I think it's a stupid idea... I mean, nothing wrong working right? I am trying to help my hubby save. Or will my staying employed cause a decline in my visa application?
And after application follows the waiting phase...being employed will help me keep my sanity during this period...
PLease advise.

PS.. I don't see anything wrong with you working during the application process, in fact it should be a positive. The only thing it will do is add the period of time that you have to work your notice into your plans for moving from Phil.

If you have to apply for a visa soon early at any months.....I guess its better for you to quit that job before applying for your peace of mind and so as for you to focus more on the requirements itself, anyway the minimum process of visa is 3 mos its even early as 3 weeks.....it depends....or else anyway you can go on keep working without telling that you are working....it doesnt matter...........and it doesn't matter as well if you tell them anyway its no big deal..........its nice to work while waiting for the visa in hand for as long you are free at any time when you called upon for interview. So I guess its all down to your choice.................So whatever of those three options...it doesn't afftect any, that is your choice , you can still keep on going with the application while working anyway just be sure that you have everything in order before taking into a big step. I had a friend who just departed to Ausie, she was still working until the end of the process..........So any i guess is best.....
for my own choices among the three...i better have to quit before applying and concentrate more on the process........cleared up everything before committing any......don't give the ECO a chance to doubt to issue you one.......best to clear out ahead...and then at any time if you call upon for interview you are free at any time with no farther questions involves with your employment, just on the safe side... focus your goal and aim up to get a visa if you both much eager to get one...
anyway thats only my opinion.....you know better than any..........okay...good luck..

Welcome Pinay, I'm quite new to the site myself! If you haven't already. . . you should just add his house title deeds or rent agreement to your list of documents to support your evidence there is adequate accommodation. Thanks Joe Bloggs, didn't know about needing to be here within 28 days of start of visa. As I posted earlier, she is expecting to hear about her visa soon. Cheers!

only for a spouse visa, so your wife needs to be in the uk within 28 days after the start date, because a spouse visa is only valid for 2yrs, and she will need to be in the uk at least 23 months to be able to apply for ILR, but if she enters the uk after the 28days, then there is a risk her visa has expired before she can apply, so you would have to apply for FLR until your wife has been in the uk 23 months, and you really dont want to waste, i think its £400 now ? and all the time and effort forming filling and collecting evidence again..
not worth it believe me
