Hello good people,

I’m pleased to inform you guys that I have finally gotten my spouse visa. After an initial refusal of an almost 6 months application in December 2016, I waited the whole of 2017 together with my wife to work on getting it right for the next application and thank God, the long wait paid off now.

Timeline:
Application submitted: March 2nd
Biometrics: March 8th
Documents submitted: March 15th
Ready to pick up email: June 18th
Passport picked up: June 19th

Wife called UKVI at around 60 working days and they said a decision has been made.

Another graduate.... Congratulations....

NB: Remember to pay your 45% tithe......

Good afternoon, please I’m back again with another question. Since I’ll be doing my IELTS before I get married and I’ll be using my maiden name for registration. Will I use ‘Miss’ when filling the form where the title is and also in other applications?

Good afternoon, please I’m back again with another question. Since I’ll be doing my IELTS before I get married and I’ll be using my maiden name for registration. Will I use ‘Miss’ when filling the form where the title is and also in other applications?

NB : Point to note, it says names and not title ........

Lol..there's actually a section for title.

In my experience thus far with forms like these, it is always good and effective to be as honest as possible without over thinking the issue.

Will you be married by the time you take the test?
1. If No. Then put your maiden name with Miss in the section
2. If Yes. Then put your marriage name with Mrs.(that's if you have already done the change of name)

No need to worry so much about this, you should be more concerned about choosing the right test as highlighted by @queenantia. Please ensure you sit for the right test.

this is the wrong English exam

Oh, thank you. I was thinking it’s the same thing. Because I saw general somewhere there. Thank you very much.

Lexusgs430:

There’s title also

Loritess:

There’s title also

I know...... The most important is your name not contradicting..... (Miss, Ms, Dr, etc etc) The owner of such titles remains the same ....

Ok thank you very much. I don’t have intentions to lie lol. But I’m my application after my wedding will I put Miss or Mrs and my maiden name? Because I won’t do a change of name until I get to the uk.

Sure I know you don't intend to lie, I just mean state the details as is as at the time of filling the form. I believe you will still be a miss but you can decide to use Mrs. as long as your maiden name remains the same. I was married to my wife when we applied but we still maintained our individual names and we had no issues.

Lol...I'm still around o, got some things to tidy up at work,then a few family commitments to take care of before I leave.

Hi Readynow,I can imagine the tension as this has taken too long. Have you tried contacting them?

I disagree with oxygyne's statement.
'Mrs' is a title for married women while 'Miss' is for unmarried women. It doesn't matter if you change your name or not.

Just confirmed that there were no questions relating to title in all the forms filled for the settlement application.

Mistake, sorry.

Please can someone direct me to the page number with full information about IELTS, whether all spouse visa applicants in Nigeria must write IELTS, what categories of spouse visa applicants in Nigeria are exempted from IELTS and those who are not exempted, the website to register for it etc. Thank you.
