Question

I am a british citizen moved to pakistan. Got married in jan 2006. my wife was given a visitors visa to the UK by british high commision in 2007. we visited the uk togather. I have moved back to the uk since feb 2008. I have been full time employed since May 2008. Have rented a flat in the uk. What documents do I need & How long will it take? My account has been overdrawn in the Last 6 months, will it effect my application?

Answer 1

apply for a family reuion it should be free. you need to show proof that you have lived together and you will need to be able to support her. If you cant do this find someone with a lot of money who will offer to be a sponser. you need to produce 3 months of wage slips and bank statements. it should take about a month maybe 2 good luck

Answer 2

overdraft will affect your application. you need to show that you can SUPPORT and ACCOMMODATE  her. the latest payslip, bank statement ( for the past 6 months), tenancy agreement, your marriage contract, pictures, means of communication. how long will it take, depends on her country...

Answer 3

Presumably she'll need evidence of savings and that she can support herself financially when she arrives and also evidence of skills and qualifications that are needed in the UK, as well as birth certificate, wedding certificate, passport, evidence that she speaks English. I expect you'll be able to act as a sponsor.

Answer 4

With your application you need to include:

-Photo

-Passport

-Bank statements

-Rent agreement

-Letter of employment

-Wage slips

-Life in the UK test certificate

-Marriage Certificate

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

I would clear that overdraft. You are her sponsor and they look at your finances very carefully.
