Spouse Visa

A spouse visa which is also known as a UK marriage visa allows a spouse (partner) to be able to live together with their British or UK settled partner. The visa is initially granted for a period of 30 months and can be extended for a further 30 months provided that the relevant criteria continue to be met. After completing a period of 5 years, you may be eligible to apply for indefinite leave to remain which is also known as settlement.

We appreciate the stress that separation from a loved one could have on couples who wish to be able to live together in the UK and it is therefore important to ensure that your UK spouse visa application is completed correctly and that you include all the necessary documents to strengthen the chances of your success. We have the experience and knowledge to assist you with your UK spouse visa application whether it is for entry clearance to the UK or if it is to extend or switch into a spouse visa.

To discuss how our experienced immigration lawyers can assist you with your application please call or email us. Alternatively, you can complete the online enquiry form and we will contact you. Our immigration lawyers can help you by phone, videocall or see you in person at our offices in either Birmingham or London.

"I had the pleasure of dealing with Sandeep, who was professional through out. I required a tourist visa for my uncle in India in short notice, Sandeep had prepared cover letter and collected all relevant documents. My uncles super priority visa was approved within three days of submission. From when the file was ready to be submitted and to my uncle arriving in England it was all in all within a week. I have had Sandeep work on a few different cases of mine from personal to work related sponsor licences. Fantastic service I can't fault anything. He works around the clock and the constant communication is every step of the way is very reassuring. Would definitely recommend."

"Friends in the Philippines recommended Sandeep to us when my wife and I were looking to get married and live here in the UK. Sandeep advised and took care of our Home Office applications. These were: A fiancé Visa allowing Marvie to come to the UK for 6 months. A Spouse Visa and Residency Permit after we were wed allowing Marvie to live and work here for 30 months. A Visa extension and Residency Permit for another 30 months so totalling 3 Visas in all."
