If your application for a spouse visa has been rejected, you can file for an appeal. That is the good news. On the flip side, appealing a spouse visa is a costly and stressful procedure. Therefore, applicants must make sure they prepare their visa applications months in advance of their travel dates.

Here are some important facts to know about the spouse visa application process:

1. You and your spouse need to be 18 or above to apply for a spouse visa.
2. Your partner must be a) a British citizen, b) settled in the UK, or c) have refugee status or humanitarian protection in the UK.

In addition, the Home Office also requires proof of the following information:

• You and your partner are in a legal marriage or civil partnership
• You and your partner have been living together for at least 2 years (from the time of applying for the visa)
• If you are currently engaged, you will marry or enter into a civil partnership within 6 months of arriving in the UK

You will also need to demonstrate your ability to speak, write, read, and understand the English language. In addition to your English language test results, you need to provide your bank statements as evidence that you will be able to cover your expenses in the UK.

Dealing With A Spouse Visa Rejection

There are several different reasons for visa rejections, with fake marriages being the primary cause. Other reasons include insufficient or incomplete documentation.

If you have been denied a UK spouse visa, you need to make an appeal to your local British embassy. As your case will be reviewed by a tribunal in the UK, it could take at least 15 weeks to hear back from them.

However, if you want to improve your chances of getting a spouse visa, contact an experienced immigration solicitor.
