We recently helped a client to apply for a UK spouse visa from outside the UK so she could finally reunite with her husband. The couple had maintained a long-distance relationship for 8 years, much of it while living in different countries.
The couple originally met while the applicant was visiting the UK on a standard visitor visa. Their connection quickly grew as they travelled across the country together.
However, their relationship was to be disrupted by the fact that our client had to return to China before her visa expired. Nevertheless, the couple continued their relationship across borders, visiting each other regularly in both the UK and China. Eventually, they married in China and made the decision to settle permanently in the UK together.
How did we help our client with the spouse visa application?
We advised the client to apply for a spouse visa from outside the UK. Although both our client and her husband were unemployed, we guided them through meeting the financial requirement using their personal savings. We helped prepare documents included bank statements to show adequate savings, marriage certificate and travel documentation, photographs, messages to demonstrate a genuine relationship, and an English language test certificate. Finally, the applicant also provided the Tuberculosis (TB) test results as required for overseas applications.
What was the outcome of the application?
The application was successful. The client has been granted leave to enter the UK as a spouse, allowing her to reunite with her husband and begin their life together after eight years of maintaining a long-distance relationship.
