Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 'Financial Requirement' for a Spouse Visa?
To sponsor a partner, you must generally meet a specific gross annual income threshold or have sufficient savings. The rules regarding how this income is calculated—whether through employment, self-employment, or pensions—are strict. We assist clients in preparing the exact documentary evidence required to satisfy Home Office caseworkers.
How long does a Sponsor Licence application take?
Standard processing for a Sponsor Licence typically takes 8 weeks, though a priority service is often available for an additional fee to reduce this to 10 working days. Given the complexity of the "Appropriateness Test," ensuring your business systems are compliant before applying is essential to avoid a four-year cooling-off period following a refusal.
Can I appeal a Home Office visa refusal?
Not all visa refusals carry a right of appeal; some only allow for an Administrative Review or a Judicial Review. If you do have a right of appeal, it must usually be lodged within 14 days if you are in the UK. Our team specialises in identifying the correct legal route to challenge a negative decision and representing clients in the Immigration Tribunal.
