Change of name isn’t necessary, marriage certificate and the decree absolute are more important.

What’s a decree absolute please?

Hello everyone. What is the validity of a spousal dependent visa. Note that the spouse is a nurse in the uk

I am currently in the UK on a tier2 visa. I want my husband and children to join me. My question is, who should do the application? Myself or my husband? Whose bank statement should be used as proof of maintenance?
Thank you all.

Thank you all.

tier 2 visa husband doesn’t apply for spouse visa, your category is Tier 2 dependent pls! Your children are children dependents. Your husband and children would do the applications using your COS details.

Good morning everyone I’m applying for spouse visa and I don’t know if I meet the requirements. Someone said they look at the lowest payslip and multiply by 12 and now from the month of June to October his salary is as follower:
May £ 2,671
June: £1,434
July; £2,436
August: £ 2,724
September £2,724
October :£2,724
I multiply the June salary by 12 didn’t get the 18,600 required what should we do

- You will meet the financial requirement. They use average pay/salary for the 6 months you're relying on.

- So they will add the whole 6 months wages/salary, divide it by 6, then multiply by 12.

-See below for the UKVI guidance to their ECO.

If you apply from outside the UK and without Priority/super Priority service , you will get a decision within 12-24 weeks. But most people get it in 12weeks.

30 days?? I think that's for dependant visa, spousal take longer without priority service, sometimes 3months

Spouse/settlement visa (priority) you’ll get a decision within 30 working days although most people get it within 15-20 working days. The standard spouse/settlement visa takes 12-24 weeks which is 3-6 months although each application is unique and one can get a decision earlier than estimated time.

Oh okay, a decision has been made on mine already but they didn't send an approval or not approved mail yet, passport has been moved to visa center

So now I just got a mail to come pickup, I hope it's a yes because no mail was sent prior

[quote author=Akinola1212 post=127757643][/quote]
Congratulations!
Don’t worry it’s a positive feedback. A friend of mine didn’t even get an Eco mail or decision mail. She only got a call from dhl delivering person that he’s on his way to deliver her passport and she got the visa.

Was yours a priority application and did they ask you for more documents?
Honestly my application process took longer due to the holiday period.
Glad it’s over and best wishes on your new journey.
