Excellent video - clear, concise, informative. Thank you!

[cookie_lukey]

this the most precise, well explained and accurate way to describe the entire process thank you

My Fiance and I have been watching to see if the financial requirements will be raised once our Fiance visa is granted. We should have our answer by third werk January 2024. Then we plan to marry by March 15, 2024 and submit the first Spouse visa request from inside the UK by the end of March 2024. Very helpful to know we should be grandfathered in under the 18, 600 financial requirements as we are both early 60's and will be retired or about to retire by the time we submit the ILR application. Thank you for providing all this relevant information after the chaos caused from the December 4, 2023 announcement.
I tried to advise others undergoing the process to please everyone remain calm but that was hard to do!

I love these videos you upload, really informative and well structured.

Really I like the video because it full of informations which help for the spouse visa application

[Lambyyy]

Where does it say for Category B that at least one payslip is required for current employment? The rules state: "This must be evidenced by the latest payslip or the signed contract of employment (if a payslip does not provide this information)." Most companies payslips are not going to give evidence of the gross annual income, therefore a signed contract of employment is solely required to prove this part.

@MigrateOrgUk also, thanks so much but another thing, what happens if the person was on sabbatical for 3 months, and those are part of the application, and didnt get salary, would that ruin everything regarding the financial requirement?

[tosinaderemi]

Best Video ever seen online on spouse visa requirements. Well detailed

[lazytexter]

Great video, really helpful especially with recent changes.

Im going down the savings route with my stocks and shares ISA. However, unclear if im supposed to liquidate the shares or can i show that the investment value has been over the £62.5k requirement for at least the past 6 months?

[shakeelaiqbal]

Hi di you think the 29000 will be reviewed in the future tk bring it diwn to a more realistic amount like 22000 to 24000

[JusSomeGuy]

We have been recently refused a visa under category A for having more then 1 employer in the 12 months prior to the application. I can't find anywhere that confirms this is a rule but yet it happened to us. Do you have any clue where i could find such information? Great video!

[zibasworld]

Can you use payslips from 2 different jobs for the last 6 months as I changed job?

[bistonic]

Thank you so much for sharing this. It is invaluable!

[enoruevbuomwan]

Thank you so much having trashed most of the allaying fears regarding spousal visa applications. My question those applying on entirely though savings would they still sit the English proficiency test? Hoping to hear you touch on that aspect in your next video.

[yvansiewe]

if you overstayed a tourist visa and it has been about 6 months since you left UK and are applying for a spouse UK visa from the USA, will the fact that you overstayed affect your spouse visa application application ?

[Dantebigz]

Nicely put together, this vidoe is great

[milyas]

Hi, thanks for the detailed info. If you wish to apply for spouse visa on savings alone what is the amount? Does the previous amount of £62500 still apply or is this subject to change?

[nasimaakhtar]

Hi
Can hourly night premium pay which isn’t part of the contracted pay be included as part of the salary if following the longer calculation of category A that you mentioned?

[rochellequan]

How am I meant to prove that I've stayed with my partner for 2 years in total on multiple visitor visas if I cant use plane tickets as evidence of when we visited each other or when we went abroad on vacations to different countries? Will pictures count? Will the home office acknowledge pics that say "this is us here" "this is us there"?

[iandykes]

Sorry forgot to mention we got married in the UK last year if that helps at all?
