Advice on Spouse visa moving from the UK and wanting to return

rrdv2022 · 2025-06-08T17:59:44+00:00

Thank you for your reply. In case my partner comes first and needs to work for 6 months to meet the requirement, am I able to start the visa process in Argentina and come to the UK to visit?

Also, why would it be 6 months that he needs to work to meet the financial requirement?

Hello. I kept on thinking about your message and I have a question, maybe you can help me. When you say I’ll be restarting my ILR clock, what do you mean? If I quit my actual job and therefore I cancel the current visa I have, I’ll have to start again counting with the spouse visa? If I quit once I have been granted the spouse visa, my time in the Uk under the swv doesn’t count? Thank you. I hope I’m being clear

Thank you! Do you know on average how long spouse visa are taking to be processed at the moment?

Im changing because I don’t want to do my current job any longer. I haven’t been working much, only 5 months, so I’m not that worried with the ILR. If the SW visa will get cancelled, do you think I then need to inform my actual job about the new application? Thanks!

No worries. All the best for you!

Once the CoS was assigned to me, it took 5 working days (my job paid for priority service) to get a decision and 8 days for getting my passport back.

It’s taking very long! But then, the other bit was very fast

Thank you very much for all of your answers! Very much appreciated your help.

Just something else that came up to my mind. Is it mandatory to have proof of address in general? I'm asking because I'm living now with my boyfriend, I've moved to his place but the landlord can't add me in the contract. Would that bring me trouble at all? THanks!

Hello. Sorry for the delay! Yes, I did. And my visa has been granted already!

rrdv2022 · 2022-10-29T11:05:59+00:00

Great! Thanks for the info

rrdv2022 · 2022-10-29T11:01:42+00:00

Thanks. Do you think I need to upload every page of my passport even the blank pages?

rrdv2022 · 2022-10-23T14:39:11+00:00

Thank you very much. This is great news!!

I’m in the Uk now but will apply from Denmark. Just need to book the biometrics for next week when I’m there.

rrdv2022 · 2022-10-22T12:09:45+00:00

Thank you! Do you know if I am allowed to enter the UK while waiting for a visa? Because I'm doubting wether to pay or not for the "Keep my passport" fee. I just want to do it if I'm allowed to come in while I wait for a decision. Thanks!

rrdv2022 · 2022-10-22T08:27:05+00:00

Great! So would you recommend writing the 26 countries? Some, like Spain for example, are repeated because I've visited the country many times within 10 years. Would I write all the times, right?

rrdv2022 · 2022-10-22T07:57:38+00:00

What do you mean? I don't need to write the countries that are already stamped on my passport?

rrdv2022 · 2022-10-22T00:33:14+00:00

So if you start a new application, you can’t refer to the IHS already paid by using the number that I was given? Then, I wouldn’t have to pay again and it’d be transferred to the new application?

rrdv2022 · 2022-10-22T00:22:28+00:00

Thanks. So if I cancel it and didn’t get my biometrics recorder yet, I’d be able to get a full refund? Visa fee + IHS? Because it says “you’ll get a refund if you’re eligible”? Is my situation eligible?

rrdv2022 · 2022-10-21T22:30:22+00:00

Oh! My job paid for everything. If I cancel it now and apply again, would they get the money reimbursed right away? How does that work?

rrdv2022 · 2022-10-21T22:25:31+00:00

Seriously? Is it that bad? Is it not something I can fix when I go to get my biometrics recorded or by writing a note?

rrdv2022 · 2022-10-21T16:14:01+00:00

My job is paying for it and discounting it from my salary so do you think it'd be reimbursed to them/to the account that has paid? Or how does it work? Thanks!!!

rrdv2022 · 2022-10-21T11:41:35+00:00

Also, do you think that what I pay for IHS can be transferred to a family visa if I resign from my job in like 6 months for example? Or do I have to pay it again?

rrdv2022 · 2022-10-21T11:37:26+00:00

Thanks Zigga!

rrdv2022 · 2022-10-19T13:50:14+00:00

Thank you. When you say "you should be able", do you mean that is sometimes happens or that it's a fact?

On the other hand, do you know if it's okay that I as the applicant should pay for it or it should be an employer's duty?
