@girlio
From the judge rule,I thought same that I am still under the ban. Is it possible that a spouse visa can release me from the ban? I can make application for a spouse visa,but need to know how to go about it and all it entails. What are my chances under a spouse visa? Is there hope for me? Thanks alot

Hi guys...justwise, lexusg430, girlfio and all other good folks who contribute and share their wealth of experiences on this forum.

It won't be good if I didn't feedback to acknowledge your valuable advise

I asked some questions here around late October 2014 with regards to spousal visa application process and I'm happy to report back that my spouse has been granted her spousal visa to UK.

I will give a brief timeline about the whole process below:

Nov 26 2014 - Spouse submitted her application and was interviewed at Teleperformance office in V.I. Lagos;
Dec 3 2014 - I, as the sponsor sent off supporting documetations to Sheffield;
Dec 5 2014 - Spouse received an acknowledgement email from UK Visas Sheffield about receiving the documentations;
Jan 6 2015 - I got a phone call from UK Visas Sheffield to attend an interview on Jan 9, 2015;
Jan 9 2015 - Attended an interview at Battleship Building, London;
Jan 19 2015 - Spouse received an email from UK Visas Sheffield that decision has been made;
Jan 20 2015 - All the supporting documents were returned by post;
Jan 22 2015 - Spouse received a message from Teleperformance to pick up passport;
Jan 23 2015 - Passport was picked up with stamped visa dated Jan 14.

Spouse to relocate to UK soon, pending her resignation from her current employment .

Once again, I'm most grateful to you all.

@justwise, not been able to submit cuz spouse is self employed and the financial requirement states that 12 month gross income it must be but the account spouse wants to use was just opened about August last year. Was advised to wait till when spouse gets it and that will be about September. The question now can renew my visit visa for 5 years and when spouse gets it's all sorted, I will return to apply... What is your advice?

Benuromi:
Hello GHM4EVA,

Hi Justwise,

https://www.immigration-health-surcharge.service.gov.uk/checker/Joining

I just checked the above link with regards to the NHS surcharge, when applying, which 'visa route' do we have to choose in the section -

'About the person you are joining in the UK'.

The partner is a UK National, applicant based in Lagos but the link is asking for the 'expiration date of the visa' of the UK National.

Could you please check and advise which option to choose?

Thanks.
