Hi Ruks, just felt the need to let you know that my husband received his family settlement (spouse) visa within 2 days
2 days?!!! Omg that is amazing 🎉🎉!! A huge congratulations to you and your husband!! I am so so happy for you both 😁😁!!
thank you so much
Hi My husband applied from UAE - Dubai, on priority visa basis. after biometrics appointment, he recieved his visa Alhumdulilah within 2days. The processing time differ country to country, Dubai have a FASt processing time
Maybe you should do a husband tag and you can make vid about paper work after entering in the U.K. like BRP collection, IN number and other rules regulations to follow so you won’t have problems with ILR
Always shining 💕 may God bless you hun xx

Very helpful video..thank u very much ruks..ALLAH bless u
Ameen! Thank you so much and thank you for watching :)
Hi I don't have all my whattapp call logs and messages as I've lost my previous phone and I wasn't aware to screenshot the call logs every month I only have one month worth of call logs but nearly two years worth of chat history as I am applying next month will that. Be a problem do u reckon please advise me thanks, I loved watching ur videos u keep it nice and simple to understand
Hi Qasim, aww don’t worry too much about it. You have a lot of chat history which is great. You should explain that you lost your phone and if you reported it then it’s a good idea to provide the police report also as proof it was lost
Hi Ruksana, thank you very much.
Thank you for watching 😊
Thankyou for the information it is going to be very useful for me
Aww, no problem at all. Thank you for watching 😊
Always looking forward to your videos 😊
Aww, thank you so much Abzy 😊
Can you answer me on one question pls. I am applying for SET M form the question is : Were you originally granted leave on the basis of an application made before 9 July 2012 as a partner on the family route? Is it YES or NO to be answered. Thank you
Hmm, I’m not sure what a SET M application is but if you haven’t been granted a visa as a spouse/other family member before July 2012 then your answer would be no
Hi Ruk&Fam! Thank you so much for the wonderful walkthroughs. They have been very helpful! Can I ask at what point do you send the (Original/photocopies) documents to Sheffeild. I take it this is after the biometrics, but can you suggest a timeframe for the documents to be sent to UKVI?
Hi, thank you for watching my videos! I am glad you like them! If you are applying for priority, you’ll have 10 days after the biometrics appointment to send your supporting documents. If you are applying for a standard visa application then you will have to send the documents within 14 days after the biometrics appointment. Hope that helps answer your question. Good luck with your application :)
Just to give whoever is applying for spouse visa .. they have a chance of calling you and doing a phone interview so be prepared. It will be a short depending on your application... I missed 2 calls from them but they will call back so don't panic just make sure you answer and your not intentionally ignore calls.. it will be a private number fyi ... best of luck x
Aww thank you for sharing, it’s really helpful advice for all! Sorry to hear they called you but it sounds like it went well 😊
Ruks&Fam yeah it all went well I believe the lady on the phone said this is just for normal procedure and wanted to make sure i was sponsoring someone from another country. :)
Ah ok, I’ve heard they do random checks so that must have fallen on you
baeutufulgirl12ful
Can u tell me what questions they asked u so I know
Nice video. Thank you for the guidance..really appreciate a lot.
Aww, thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you like them :)
Ruks&Fam hey sis. Can I private message you..thanks
Yes of course. You message me either on Instagram my username is ruksandfam or you can email me on ruksandfam@gmail.com :)
Hi, hope you are doing well.
Your videos are really helpful. :)
I'm from India and my husband is from the UK. We are in the process of making the application.
Have couple of questions regarding the visa application :
1. Can I produce all the required and supporting documents at the biometrics appointment rather than my husband posting it in the UK?
2. Is Ielts mandatory? Would my degree be enough since it was taught in English, if so do I need to get certified from some Uknaric?
3. Is inspection of the property/accommodation in the UK mandatory? Would a letter my father in law do instead?
Thank you. 😊
Hi Divya! I am, thank you. Hope you are as well. Thank you for watching, I am glad that you are finding them helpful!
Please have a look at your private messages. I have replied to you on there. You can access it through a computer or a laptop. Just click on your profile picture at the top right hand corner of the page and then select "creator studio". Then, on the left hand side, click "community" and then 'messages".
Good luck with your application :)
Hi Ruks&Fam
We are currently in the process of waiting on a decision. My husband wants to come visit me here in the US because he has off from work. His phone accepts calls everywhere he is even if he is not in the UK. So we’re good if we happen to be contacted. My question is: CAN he come visit? Im sure theres no restrictions for his traveling?
Hello thanks for all your videos, they are extremely helpful. May I ask will you be doing anymore videos? also please could u do a brief video on what you included on your sponsor letter/ cover letter?
Hi, thank you for watching! Yes, I do plan on starting them again. I want to do a walkthrough of the online application form, appendix 2, how to take screenshots of chats with dates showing and how I arranged them and my pics on a word document. That’s a good idea. I will add it to my list of videos! Good luck with your application :)
Ruks&Fam Thank you! So grateful you had the bright idea of doing these videos, they are informative, easy to grasp and much much appreciated!!! :)
Aww thank you!! I’m grateful to my subs for supporting my channel 😊
Wow, Ruks&Fam is taking requests?! Great work!!
Haha yes, if you have any video ideas that you would like to see. Please share them :)
Hehe, that’s the second time this has come up. Might have to do the husband tag or something. Any suggestions?
Aww I know it is really really hard. Especially when you can’t see an end to the process lol but we just lived through hope, we made plans, “when you come here we’re going to do this, going to do that”. Most of the time we kept positive about it but at times we did talk about what if it didn’t happen so we made a plan b. As crazy as it sounds having that there helped us a lot as well because it made us feel like this “refusal” didn’t have to be such a negative thing. My plan was to fly out and see him, then at least we have seen each other again cuz until then, I was stuck. Then we would re-apply and would have to wait only 3 months. That’s the trick, keep telling yourself it is “only” 3 months. 3 months normally fly by but I know when you’re waiting for something as big as this it feels like 3 years lol. But if you keep telling yourself it just makes it that little bit more manageable. I kept myself busy throughout. I work long shifts so that helped, spent a lot of time talking to my mum, spending time with my brother and started CZcams and it kept my mind off it. I was too busy to stress about it. I kept telling myself there is no point in stressing. I know that 3 months is when most people find out so why stress in month 1 and 2? If it happens that’s great but if in the week before month 3 it doesn’t, then I will allow myself to worry lol. Luckily that is when it did happen so I didn’t worry at all lol. This is so long, it’s like a video in itself. Advice on how to not worry lol
Aww glad the videos are helping you get everything sorted. If you need any help with anything, just ask. Best of luck with it all!!
Hi:) Iam shajibul alam iam new in Chanel it is really good. I've recently applied for my wife visa application online and done everything you need to do... My question is that if my wife dose gets her visa grented inshallah can I go and her or i have to stay in uk for further info......pls do let me know...
Hi Shajibul, thank you for watching and welcome to my channel, I am glad you like the videos. You can go over and bring her over if you like, she will have a month to arrive so maybe go as soon as you find out. I wouldn’t advice going before however because they may call you to ask you some questions and you need to be available to answer that call. Not doing so could lead to a rejected application. Hope this helps. Good luck with your application :)
That's truth maybe i stay' sis do you know how long dose it take to hear from them after you submit the document will they let me know by email or text. Or my wife..
It took us just under 3 months to hear back. 87 days. They sent a text to my husband and told him that his “documents where ready for collection” (ie. his passport). So he went to the place he had his biometrics appointment and he found out once he looked in his passport.
So basically I don't need to do anything now accept wait for phone call from them.. And another thing sis dose it take same waiting if your case is straightforward or.. I hope iam not making you mad??
Aww no you’re not at all. Yeah pretty much just wait, that’s all you can do really. You may not even get the phone call lol. I didn’t, not everyone does. If your application is straightforward you may not either but stay here just in case. You don’t want to get so close to the end but fail just cuz of a silly mistake. Unfortunately no, we waited almost 3 months even though ours was straightforward
Thanks for the video
Thank you for watching :)
Hi, did you do fast track for visa application? ive been talking to my husband online for 5 years. we got married last year and we finally applied last week with fast track. Please make dua for me as its so difficult to live without your loved ones.
xx
Hi Salma, thank you for watching my video! No, we didn’t use a fast track service. We waited 3 months for our decision. Good luck with your application :)
Hello we recently got married and we need to apply for visa we have our wedding pictures but marriage certificate is not generate till now and our standard appointment is in near future can you please help me out that how should I deal with this situation
Hi, thank you for watching my video. That is a really difficult situation really. You’ll have 14 days after the appointment to submit your documents, hopefully your certificate will come before then by if it’s a little late, it’s not too much trouble to send your documents a little late. Just means it may take a bit longer to get a decision.
The only other thing I can think of is that you send the rest of your supporting documents as normal but include a letter to make them aware that your marriage certificate has not come in time however you will be sending it over to them separately when it does arrive.
Then you can send it on it’s own when it does come writing the applicants name, gwf reference number and their city/country clearly on the envelope so they can match it with the application.
I would double check this with a solicitor though as I’m not sure if that would be acceptable really. I just don’t know what else you could do really.
Hope that helps somewhat and it arrives on time so you don’t have to go through all this. Good luck with the application :)
@@RuksanaAhmed thanks a lot your suggestions are really beneficial
Aww no worries, I am glad 😊
You should post vlogs with your husband! Would love to see them x
Hi Sadia, that was the idea with our last minute family trip to Greece. Unfortunately, my husband’s Schengen Visa to travel Europe did not come in time and therefore he couldn’t go. I am still keen on vlogging any days out together and with the nicer weather I think we will try to make the time for it :D. Thank you for the suggestion though :D
Ruks&Fam Hey , how long it took for him to obtain a schengen Visa? Was it easy for him to obtain schengen Visa?
Hi Meghna, it really didn’t take long. 15 days and they do say the latest you should apply is 15 days before but ours was a last minute holiday idea and so we only gave them 13 days notice. You can apply up to 3 months in advance for a schengen but like I said, it was all very last minute for us unfortunately. Please don’t let my experience discourage you for applying for one, it hasn’t discouraged me at all. We would still love to travel!
Ruks&Fam Ahh alright, Hope to see more of your vids! Have a great weekend!
Salam. Thanks for your videos, they are really helpful and easy to watch/understand. I have a quick question. If the UKVI try to call the UK sponsor and they can't get through to them, do they leave voicemails?
Hi, thank you for watching my videos, I’m glad you find them helpful! No, they will just try a few more times. Hope that helps answer your question. Good luck with your application :)
hi my wife already got the visa what kind of question she might got asked in hearthrow airport i have got ilr and when i applied i already send all the necessary documents
Hi, I am guessing your wife is already here. They don’t really ask many questions at the airport but some people get unlucky like my husband was. I have made a video on this czcams.com/video/63pqAsZNqHo/video.html
i from Bangladesh my husband live in uk my husband work two jobs for spouse visa apply...1 jobs permanent 1 part time jobs how much pay slip need for spouse visa apply 7 months pay slip need for spouse visa apply please tell me
Hi Tanni, thanks for watching. Your husband can still apply under category A with two jobs so long as he has been with both employer for 6 months or more. He will need to provide 6 months of wage slips from each workplace (no need for 7). Hope this helps. Good luck with your application :)
Hi
Absolutely love your videos and i think they r really helpful. Just wanted to ask when the processing time actually starts. Is it when i completed the online application or is it from the date of the biometrics??
Would really appreciate if u could get back to me plz xx
Hi Safia, thank you for watching my videos, I am glad you like them 😊. I’ve always been aware that the processing time starts from the date of payment. So if you pay the visa fees online then it’ll be from then or if paid at the biometrics appointment like we did then it’ll start from then 😊
Hi! Your videos are very informative I must say. I just came into the uk under the same circumstances as your husband however I am having trouble opening a bank account as I need a proof of address. Can you tell me how you guys went about this process of obtaining a proof of address. And opening an account. Thank you
Hi! Welcome to the UK and thank you for watching! Yes, it is quite difficult to open up a bank account. You have two options really. Apply for a national insurance number online and then use that letter as you proof of address (though I don’t think all banks accept it, HSBC did). Or you can use your medical certificate to register at the doctors and ask them for a letter for your bank. Hope you get it sorted :)
I have important question four you iff you can help me please where your husbunt pay he s visa fee online or untel he go to the consulat where he put he s pasport
Hi Fadi, thank you for watching my video. The application process is different depending on the country you are applying from. My husband paid his at the biometrics appointment, where he handed in his passport but for some countries I know you can pay online, unfortunately it wasn’t an option for us. It will tell you once you submit you application form whether you can make the payment online or will have to do it at the appointment. How that helps answer your question. Good luck with your application 😊
Thank you!😘
Salam Ruks , just wanted to know when your going to upload video about filling in online application. iv started to fill mine out for my husband but would highly appreciate your guidance
Hi Fazila, thanks for watching! I am hoping to have it up by the end of this month. Not sure if that will be in time for your application but I wish you the best of luck with it either way :)
Hiii Ruks just sent the application last week. just waiting now ..this wait issss soooo horrible nerve wrecking..just hope its all okay .will keep you updated with final verdict :D
Hey Fazila! Aww that’s great! Congratulations on getting so far 😊. I know, the wait really is horrible! But be patient, it will happen hopefully. I’ll have you in my thoughts and really hope it’s successful for you!! Please let me know either way! Best of luck with it 😊
Nice video I wanna ask since your husband in the uk with you now can you go on a holiday with him? or is there any restrictions for him at the moment..
Hey shafi! The visa doesn’t have any restrictions in him travelling but he will need to apply for visas for countries that won’t allow Bangladeshi citizens in without one. Luckily the visa application is a lot easier for him now that he is married to a British citizen.
Thanks for your response next video do one with your husband lol..
Haha, we'll see. Thanks for watching :)
No problem anything to support your channel.. 😀
Aww thank you for your support, I really appreciate it 😊
Hi, thank you for that wonderful video, just one or two questions, I'm still confused and nervous, I'm actually here in the UK at the moment and tomorrow is my appointment for spouse visa, what do I have to do once I get there and what are the questions do they ask ?, thank you much appreciated
Hi Mary, thank you for watching my videos, I am glad you like them. Hmm, I'm not sure what questions they ask I'm afraid. It's not something my husband had to go to. I would suggest you know your dates well, be able to quickly answer questions like yours and your husband's dates of birth, where you were both born, his UK address, how long he's been living there, when you both met (maybe a date), when you got married, when you last sae each other, where the sponsor works, how much they earn per annum, their job title, how long they've been working there. Those sorts of questions really. Best of luck with your interview, I hope it goes well! I know it's hard but try not to be too nervous, you can do this!! :)
hello .. thank you for the wonderful information, would it be possible to tell me in total how much does it cost in total to do the spouse visa.
Hi, thank you for watching my videos. It’s a difficult one to answer really as things have changed a lot since we made our application and things like rate of the £ changed daily. In total, I would suggest you save £3k to one side for the whole application (without a solicitor/priority/documents scanning service). I think our spend was around £2.5k
Hello sir
Sir i have applied my file for Family sponsorship in year 2018.My wife is a Canadian citizen. At the time i applied my file there was no biometric process. I completed all my require documents by the the month february 2020 and in month of february my online status was Decision made till date. Do i need to get my biometric done? Please suggest me a solution and help me. I shall be very thankful to you.
Hi, I am really confused at why you didn't need a biomtrics appointment. Are you applying for a visa for Canada? My videos are for the UK Visa
Assalamu alaikum sister,
I have 2 questions. AlhamduliLlah I recieved the email to make the IHS payment and then collect the receipt and bring with my passport to submit at UKVI office so that my visa can be processed. (This is because we were initially refused, but the refusal was overturned via appeal.)
1. Is there a deadline to submit the passport and receipt at the application center to get the visa stamped?
2. Do the immigration officers still require to see documents even if you have a visa stamped? Or if your spouse travels back with you?
Thanks so much for these informative videos!
Wasalam, thank you for watching my video! I am soooo happy to hear your appeal was successful!! Congratulations to you and your husband :D:D:D!!
1. I'm not sure if there is a deadline, however, I would suggest you get it done as soon as possible as there will be a valid from and valid to date as it is not the official visa, the one they put in the passport is just a temporary one which allows the applicant to travel and you don't want to find you have either missed the travel date or you are having to rush over.
2. Usually, in most cases, you don't have to show any documents but on occasions they can ask so I would suggest you travel with them if you can. Hubby and I still travel with some documents when we go out of the country even though he now has his actual visa, just in case they ever ask for them. We prefer to be prepared.
Hope that helps answer your question! Good luck with your application :)
Deadline is 10 days outside the UK and 7 days in the UK
Hi sister can you apply the visa from abroad and hand in all the supporting documents there instead of doing it in England Sheffield? Was there an option that you could make an appointment at the UK embassy in bangladesh to make the visa application for your husband? instead of doing in the UK (Sheffield)? I tried to make an appointment in Abu dhabi but they refused and told me to apply online and then through VFS GLOBAL which i did at the end.
Hiya, thank you so much for watching. I don’t think you can apply at the UK embassy in Bangladesh. I think the application can only be done online. It can either on the UK government website or through vfs global. As for the supporting documents. I know you can have them scanned at the biometrcis appointment if you wish, I think you will also need to provide them with the photocopies as well (or you might have to send the photocopies at least to Sheffield). I’m not too sure on this. I know that if you have the documents scanned there is a cost and I’m not sure if all of them can be scanned or just certain ones. I’m so sorry, my answer isn’t much help but it’s not something I have any experience of unfortunately. Best of luck with your application :)
Ruks&Fam Thank you so much sister may God bless you always. I get more info from you than anyone or anywhere else.
Nice video & informations
Thank you :)
Hii Dear
My TB certificate for a UK spouse visa will expire in 1 day after my biometrics appointment. What should I do? Plz plz let me know if you have knowladge.
Hey, this is a tricky one. As far as I am aware as long as the test was valid when you submitted your online application form then it should be accepted but please ask a solicitor if it is ok because I don't want to advise you wrong.
hello , can anyone let me know what is the disability allowance can a person can get? actually my lady she is a British citizen but she is not well health wise and having M.E. so we are planning to get married and settle up what is the disability allowance she can get like from the minimum threshold of 18600 pounds??
Hi siddhartha, thank you for watching my videos! I am really sorry to hear your wife is unwell. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about the disability allowance. I would suggest you speak with a solicitor but hopefully one of the other viewers can help you! Best of luck with your application :)
My God u r beautiful
I learn alot from ur video's i have million question for u but i will ask one for now😆 my husband want to start the spouse visa for me but his income might b a problem he work in construction and he is self employed he don't work in one company for long, and from what i read he need to work for specific company for6 month? Do u think if we can proof he have incomes years to years do u think they accept us OR different slips from 2 or 3 com, from the last 6 months pls answer me🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Hiwi, Aww thank you so much and thank you for watching my video. Hmm, this is a complicated one and my answer is a thought, not what is correct so you should deffo check with a solicitor. For someone who is self employed, they need to show 1 years worth of wage slips and bank statements and that is the same for someone who is employed but in different jobs that are less than 6 months so I think as long as your husband can provide one years worth of wage slips and bank statements then you will be ok.
The other things is, I’m not sure if they will count all the 12 months together to work out the yearly income that way or they will add the lowest monthly income and multiply that by 12 to work out the income.
Hope I have helped answer your question a little but that’s definitely something you should speak to a solicitor about. Good luck with your application 😊
Thanks for ur response that will give us an idiea where to start,, the process is just a nightmare😡😡
Aww no worries! I know but it will all be worth it in the end 🙏🏼
Hello sister Ruks, my wife's visa took roughly 7/8 weeks , she has arrived in the UK last wednesday. We also picked the card from the Post office. I like to give you a big thanks and wish you all the best. so what is the next step in terms of paper works and immigration matters. ???
Aww, a huge congratulations to you and you wife!! 🎉🎉 Everything has happened soooo quickly for you both :D. The next step is to enjoy yourselves! Take lots of pics together and with people, continue taking your screenshots and keep your wages/ bank statements safe. Your next application won’t be for another 2 years so sit back and have some fun 😁
Ruks&Fam thanks for all the nice advice. Yes we went shopping in Liverpool and Oxford, took lots of pics. She seems to fit in well. Also went to a seaside marina in Merseyside. Went to a morrocan restaurant. Etc ... and many more. My prayers are always with you ... and we like to invite you and your husband to Liverpool . Thanks
Omg, you’ve done so many things. Me and my husband have just eaten out twice lol, that’s about it. Aww, well I’m glad to hear you are taking the opportunity to do things. Thank you for the invite, that’s very kind of you :)
Hi first of all thanks for vedio it was very informative i have question ...my wife is uk she applied for my spouse viza and she went to shafield office they said u husband's viza is on hold becoz of a one paper and dts the divorce paper there is a date issue only which is by the sender office who issued the divorce paper now plz tell me wt can we do......shoud we wait or ?
Hi Waqas, thank you for watching my videos and I’m glad you have found them informative. Oh right, I’m sorry to hear that, tbh I’ve not been in or heard of this situation before so I don’t really know what to suggest. I would assume that they would call the people that issued the divorce papers and double check the dates with them. Maybe it’s something you should ask a solicitor about? Sorry I can’t help you much but it is beyond my knowledge! Hope it gets sorted, best of luck!
Hi. I'm currently 1/3 of the way of the application with my wife. I just wanted to ask.. what was the hardest part of the application? regards. Ibrahim
Hi Ibrahim, thanks for watching. Good question! I found the hardest parts of the application was putting all of the communication evidence together. I had to remember to take screenshots every month, and then putting them together on a word document was very time consuming. Going through our conversations each month and seeing what we wanted to include then arranging them on word, again very time consuming. Especially when you’re wanting to put them in chronological order as well. Aww well done for getting so far with your application and good luck with it all :)
hi , i have a question.. what if i made a mistake in online application form ( put wrong nationality in sponsor details) , and submitted ..i know it wont be able to change. but will if effect or is it ok if i mention it on cover letter saying about the mistake and refer original documents to confirm? .. i just want to know whether will they accept or refuse visa for this reason ... plz kindly help
Hi Mithu, thanks for watching my video. If you have made any mistakes on the form you can corrected on the printed form. Just put a line through the incorrect word and handwrite the correct word next to it with a signature. Then, personally, I would create a “letter of corrections” and list any mistakes made on the form and what the corrections should be. Hope this makes sense. Good luck with your application :)
Asalamucaleykum sister
I want to asked you one my husband he need to start the visa uk but still he not begin what first we do
Walaikumsalam! I would suggest the first collects 6 months of wage slips and bank statements and that he takes regular screenshots of your calls and chats. Once he has collected 5 months his wage/slips and documents, he can put together all of his other supporting documents, make the application, book the appointment and submit the supporting documents 😊
I applied for my wife visa got a call from uk ho on Tuesday not sure what's going to happen stressed out. They asked about my employment. And spoke to my employer. Anyone know how long till a descion is made.
Hopefully she gets approved.
Hi, thank you for watching my video. This is a very normal stage in the process. Unfortunately, no one can give you an exact date on how long it will be before you get a decision, everyone who has had a call will all have different timeframes of how long after the call they got their visa. I just suggest that you expect it to be 3 months into your application and if it’s sooner, that’s better but remember, it can also be later too, hopefully not though! Good luck with your application :)
Does the home office contact contact the landlord of tenancy holder regarding spouse living in their accommodation
What documents must be shown at the airport from your spouse at border control ??
There are no documents that "must" be shown. Most of the time, they won't ask to see anything. My hubby just had a few copies of things like his medical certificate, ielts certificate, our wedding certificate, he had lots of pictures of the wedding and of our time together in Bangladesh on his phone so that is what he was able to show them.
Hello ruks.. please can you help?? I am getting married in India next year. Do I have to submit my paper work in England or can my and my husband submit our paper work in India for his visa? Meaning I will take all relevant information to India with me. xx god bless you and your husband. ❤️
Hi Soniya, thanks for watching. It need to be the other way round, you can your husband need to collect all of your documents together and submit them in England. Hope this helps answer your questions. Good luck with your application :)
Thanks you
No worries 😊
Hi Ruks, I live in Uk and I want to apply for second time for Sponsor Partner Visa, but I don’t know which form I need to fill, can you help me please. Thank you
Hi, thank you for watching my video! I’m sorry to hear that you are applying for a second time! You will need to apply for two forms, the online application form (vaf4a) and the Appendix 2 form. Both forms are linked in the description box and I also have walkthrough videos of both forms as well which shows you where you can find the forms too so you should give those a watch. Hope you find them helpful and good luck with your application :).
As salaam u alaikum sister. Thanks for ur amazing videos. Im in the process of calling my wife over from pakistan. Can i just ask. Once u get married and come back to uk, do u have to go and visit ur spouse before u apply for the visa? Thanks much appreciated.
Walaikumsalam, thanks for watching them! No there’s no need to go back to visit her. If it’s been a long time then I would probably suggest cuz they might find it a bit strange you haven’t been back in like a year or something but if it’s only a couple of months or so it’s fine. Hope this makes sense. Good luck with your application :)
My husband live uk nd me here Pakistan so pray for me my paperwork complet then i will apply i need to ask you u apply ur wife vise she complet IELTS test?
@@meshifarhan9807 hello dear did u applied ur visa??

Can u tell me sajjad bro u nd ur wife belong pakistan which city nd did u apply ur wife visa ?
Hey there! What is the timeline like? So, for example, I apply for my UK spouse visa end of August 2018 with all the correct and required documents, how long do you think it will take to get the visa? I am a bit worried as I have to travel to India in Mid December 2018 to see my family and I am scared that I will not get my passport back in time.
Cheers,
Arnav
Hey Arnav, traditionally the visa take about 3 months to receive so that will take you into Nov. However, you can pay for priority (not sure how that’s done) and that should get you a visa in 1 month. Hope this helps. Good luck with your application :)
Thanks a ton for the swift response, Ruks!
Yeah, I will apply for the priority service which costs a bit but really need to sort it out ASAP.
Again, thanks a ton for the reply! Will ask you more if I ever have any questions.
Arnav
Aww that’s no problem at all. Course, just drop me a message anytime you need 😊
Hey, just wondering on a quik question you may know the answer too, once my husband has his visa here do i need to continue to earn 18,600 or can i drop back on my hours and use mine and my husbands combined wage for the next application years down the line?
Hi Lucy! Yes, you can drop your hours as long as you are both earning £18,600 together and you can combine your incomes for the visa extension application. However, there is a chance thing may change nearer the time as they always do and with Brexit, who knows but I'm pretty sure you only need to show your incomes from the previous 6 months, like before so even if it is just your wage, I'm sure you can pick up some extra work for those 6 months :p
Hi mam plz ans me if I sponser or invite my UK friend to my country then this sponser or invite letter will be how much long is valid for co.e to my friend plz reply me about this
When date for biometric for uk spouse visa is booked. Is it at the time of online apply or can be booked as per my advantage
Hi, you need to book a date and time of your choice when you submit the online application form, it won't be on the same day.
could you please help .
My wife and I had interview today at 10am same time , she lives in Iraq and I am in the UK. after 14 weeks of submitting the application they asked lots of questions about our marriage etc.. we answered all the questions the same ..
1- how long after the interview will they let us know if she has the visa?
2- if they give her a visa to come and join me in the UK , will they give her interview at the airport when she enters about our relationship?
i really appropriate it if you can answer
Hi, an interview is no indication of how far they are with regards to you application. There is no way of knowing how much longer it will take for them to make a decision. The standard time frame is 3 months from application, it can be sooner and it can be later. Usually they don't ask much at the airport, my husband was unlucky but as mentioned in the video, if your wife can, she should carry any documents she has, have pictures on her phone and if you can take the original documents to the airport with you then that would be good too. She can always ask them to give you a call if they need to see the originals as my husband did but most likely they'll just ask her where she's coming from, why she's here and where she is going.
@@RuksanaAhmed thank you very much , the questions they ask ? is it because they arent sure if the relationship is genuine or its just normal to ask after getting the visa
@@lve23ku You mean at the airport? They always ask those with visas where you've been, how long you were there and where you're going. That's just protocol. We've been on holiday 3 times and my husband was asked twice (the third time was Eurostar...can't remember them asking then). If you mean the questions he was asked when he first arrived. I think that was down to the specific person at the counter, no other person at the counter was being as "efficient" as him.
When they call during the application process it is usually one of three reasons, either something with the relationship is not adding up (perhaps not enough pics of you guys with others, I don't know). Or they could call more regarding your financial documents (usually when people have 2 jobs I've noticed). Finally, because unfortunately yours was chosen at random. I wouldn't worry too much about it. If everything is genuine and you answered everything the same as your spouse/your employer/what you said in your application then you have nothing to worry about.
Hello, I am going to be getting married next year and will be bringing my husband but I really need advice, about finances... is there a way I can message you privately?
Hi! Yes you can either private message me in here. To do that, just click on the link in my description box under “contact me” and it will take you to a page where there will be a little speech bubble under “status” or something, click that and a text box will come up.
Otherwise you can contact me on instagram and my username is ruksandfam
Hi Ruks, I am in India and my wife is in UK, we just got married 5 months ago. I would like to ask you few queries i have.
How important is for me to provide my employer certificate as i have switched couple of jobs in last 2 years.
And we got married in court through Special Marriage Act and we also did a function 2 days after.
Now my second query is the address on marriage certificate is old where i was living in a rented accomodation. and now i have moved to my new home with parents in march. so do i have to update address on my passport?
Please reply, i would be grateful.
I have 20 year in this country I mec evthing from home office print fingers photos signed evthing and after home office send me leter said need to pay fee 2400.00 but hay can’t pay I’m no wokhing no have permission to work wat h do plaise
Oh wow, really sorry to hear you are going through this. I am not sure how to help sorry, I am not a solicitor. I think you should contact an immigration solicitor to look at your case and see why they have asked for this money. Hope you get help!
Hi madam
I want to know some information from you.. Tier4 student visa and dependent visa can apply for at a time please tell me.
Hi where can one do the IELTS like skills test certificate ??
Hi Zowie, thank you for watching my video! The applicant usually does the IELTS test in their home country. There are usually plenty of places that provide the test in most countries. My husband did hi in Sylhet, Bangladesh. You will just have to make sure that the one you are taking is genuine and accepted by UKVI as there are many places who provide classes for their own gain. Ask around and hopefully you will find somewhere, good luck with your application :)
Hi sister... Thanks for your video .. me and my wife planning to tier 4 student visa she is a student and iam dependent ... We go for visa interview at a time or seperate ... Can u suggest me the better option to get visa ....
Hi RajKumar, thank you for watching. I’m really sorry but I’m not sure much about other visas. You will be better off talking with a solicitor. Good luck to you and your wife :)
Hello, does my husband need to send his original passport or copies?
He will need to submit the original passport at the biometrics appointment. They only need scanned copies when submitting the documents
Can you plz tell me in spouse visa time of 12 weeks started from online application date or when you send your documents??
Hi, it’s from the date of visa payment :)
Visa payment. Is that mean from the biometric appointment day?
My wife coming very soon from bangladesh
So do homeoffice take my interview ? If so what will they ask
Congratulations on your wife’s visa 🎉🎉. They can sometimes call the sponsor before the visa granted but they shouldn’t question you at the airport
How was the BRP collecting experience? How long did it take to arrive?
Hi, it was really simple for us! My husband arrived 3 weeks after his visa was accepted and we went to our chosen post office the day after his arrival, showed them his passport and the letter that came with it saying his visa has been accepted and they handed it over...think he had to sign something to say he had got it too. You are supposed to collect the BRP card working 10 says of arriving in the U.K. Hope that helps answer your question :)
Ruks&Fam indeed Sister, I just read horrible stories that’s taking 3 months thus far and still not received.
I wonder if one can travel without card??!! Especially those with visa-free passports such as Americans and Australians.
Thanks for your replies, we really appreciate it.
Hi waleed, I think you are confusing the BRP card with the viganette sticker in the passport. The viganette sticker in the passport is a temporary visa given when the application has been approved, (approval can take 3 months). The temporary visa will have a 1 month validity on it which will allow you travel, that’s all you need. Once you are in the UK, you can then collect the BRP card which will be valid for 33 months. Hope that clears things up for you a little bit more.
Why do they ring the work place of the sponser? What do they ask the the employer?
Hi, thank you for watching my video. They ring the sponsor's workplace to check that all the information provided in the application about the sponsor's workplace matches so they will ask their work questions like what they sponsor's job role is, how long they have worked there, what they get paid, etc. Hope that helps get your prepared. Good luck with your application :)
Ruks&Fam thank you. I wanted to go Bangladesh once I send my application off however, I heard they keep the passport for a few months. Is this correct??
Hi, they keep the applicant's passport but not the sponsor's as you only have to send a photocopy of the sponsor's passport. However, if you have sent the original passport than yes, they will keep it for a while, until they send the documents back which can take the full 3 months it takes to make a decision. Even if you do still have your passport still, I wouldn't advise you travel back home as someone I know did it and UKVI was trying to get through to them and couldn't and therefore the application was refused instantly. I wouldn't suggest you take that risk really.
Please sista I want ask u so when they start accounting day of the work visa ???
Hey Loren! I am sorry but I don't have any knowledge on a working visa. It will be best if you speak to an immigration solicitor about that. Sorry
Ruks&Fam thank a lot hun xxx
My name is aisha as mine is different I will be calling my husband from Italy so what type of question will they call me
Hi Aisha, thank you for watching! I think they ask the same sorts of questions to everyone. So please make sure you and your husband are confident with your answers about all of the information that you have provided in your application. Questions about each other and the sponsors workplace/accommodation just in case. Hope this helps, good luck with your application :)
Thank u sis
i don't understand under category A what is this please tell me sis
There’s are different categories you just apply through depending on your financial situation. With category A, the sponsor must have been in both jobs for 6 months or more. If not then you will need to apply through category B. It is all in the Appendix 2 form if you want to look at that. There is a link to the form in my description box
Heyyy upload more videos we miss you :)
Aww, I’m surprised anyone noticed hehe. I’m hoping to get back in it again soon :)
Ruks&Fam of course !! I noticed hehehe.. yayy cant wait for more videos :) ... still waiting for a response for my hubby's visa. The waiting period seems to be hard though :(
Aww bless you! Thanks for the support :). I know, it’s really hard but you’re doing so well!!
any people use tow jobs with spouse visa apply so need show 12 months pay slip is it really please reply sis
It can be 12 months, 18 months or 24 months. I need to know how many months he has been working in each job.
Heyy again! :) how did your husband know that his passport was ready to be collected.. did he get a text or did they email you? Thanks x
Also do you know of anyone who was called from UKvi and was it a private number or a numver we can call back?
Hiya! My husband got an email telling him “his documents were ready to collect from the visa application centre” so we took that his passport was waiting for him at the place he took his biometrics appointment
Hi, yes I do. They call using a private number and ask questions very similar to what I mention in the video. They also ask about the place of work, such as the name of the company, the job title, how much you get paid, how you are paid and they will call the work place and ask them the same questions about you
Thanks ... How long after you submitted your application did you get that email?
It was around 87 days or something
Hi ruk
I want ask you about
How can we get current status of our visa procedures by tracking our ticket number
Can we do this ?
Hi Neelam! Thank you for watching my video, unfortunately the status of the visa cannot be tracked. Those applying through TLS contact have a bit of a tracking system but it just tells them when the application has been received and when a decision has been made so it’s not much of a tracking system. Hope that helps answer your question, good luck with your application :)
@@RuksanaAhmed
But it's already 1 and half month to submitted my application still can not track?
No, there’s no tracking service available
Thank you so much run:)
I have plan to visit UK on visiting visa. because my wife is living there will I get visiting visa easily ?

Syed Sumon Aww, no problem. I am happy to hear it 😊
i want to apply for visit visa UK. because my wife is living there will I get spouse visa easily ?
Dear sister, Please send me immigration questions by tax. Im glade to you if you send that. Thanks
I'm sorry but I can't text them to you. You can easily right them down on a piece of paper when watching the video. I have written what documents my husband had with him in the description box too.
Nice video and also you are very nice person , i want to ask you my husband will apply my visa for uk in few days , and i m in hongkong at the moment so after applied my visa they will call me or my husband and will they interview face to face or on the phone , and what about ielts test ?
Hi Neelam, thank you for watching my video! Aww, you are so sweet!! They don't always call but if they do, it is usually the sponsor that they will call and the sponsors work place really, that is usually done over the phone and in rare cases I have heard they can interview the applicant face to face in their home country. Try not to stress about it, they are simple questions that you will know the answers to. Hope that helps, good luck with your application :)
Oh the ielts test. You will need to take the A1/B1 test, depending on your level of English. A1 is beginner level and B1 is intermediate. Once you have passed that, the original certificate will need to be provided with the supporting documents.
But is it really important or optional ? And what was the questions and how many question Who asked to your husband ?
Sorry one more question
When you applied visa for your husband then How many days after that they responded to you and once interview is done then when will they give visa?
The English test is important, without it the visa will be refused instantly. I'm not really sure how many questions were asked but I know there are quite a few on a couple of different topics. The test is roughly 20mins long.
We received our visa exactly 90 days after submitting our online application form.
my husband apply spouse visa with tow jobs so how much pay slip need please reply me sis
He will need six months of wage slips from one job and 6 months from his 2nd job
thank you so much sis
my husband apply uk spouse visa by tow jobs so please tell me sis my spouse visa category name
Knowing he has two jobs doesn’t give me enough information as to which category you should apply under. I need to know how long he has been in both jobs for?
my husband work two jobs , permanent jobs 7 months next month and part time jobs 6 months next months
Salaam Sister
Do you have any idea, if they call to sponsor for interview then what questions could they ask?
Please
Salam, I have mentioned this in the video. They may call the sponsor and the sponsors work place and ask very similar questions. Name, age, dob of both sponsor and applicant and in addition they as about the sponsors workplace. Where they work, their job title, salary, how they are paid, how many people work there. They can also call the sponsors work place and ask the manager similar questions about the sponsor. Name, job title, salary, how they get paid, how many people work there. Hope this helps. Good luck with your application
Ruks&Fam Thank you so much to elaborate and answer my curiosity. I just now received first . email from UKVI as you had mentioned in other video. I am bit excited and lollop :) . Thank you for wishing me and please pray for the best.
I will tell you my updates and would disturb you again if I need to ask something.
Once Again Thank you Sister.
Jason Statham please can I know what email.you received and have you done priority
No problem, anytime. Aww very excitig news for you then :). Yes please keep me updated, I would really appreciate it 😁
Rehana Kausar They just confirm that your file is in their hands and they are working on it
What are the absolute required original documents?
What if I don’t want to submit originals, can I get a bank officer to stamp and sign copies?
Hi Waleed, thank you for watching. Do you mean what are absolute originals for UK boarders or do you mean just in general for the application?
Ruks&Fam hi thanks for the reply. I’m asking about birth or marriage certificate, old passports, etc.
During application process. At border I can have originals.
For the application I would suggest you provide original birth certificates, original English and medical certificates, original marriage certificate, original wage slips and bank statements of you can. If not, get them stamped, signed and dated. Hope this helps! Good luck with your application :)
Ruks&Fam thanks. Your videos were inspirational. I considered paying a solicitor to do it, but after seeing your videos I felt I can do it. Thanks
Hi ruks i want to ask plx reply me my husband is a british national... He married me in jan and now he is not in condition to take me there he said me i have no family house in England thats why i cant take you there... I am 8 months pregnant.... What can i do plx help me

Salam alaikum sister, how are you doing? How is your husband? Alahamdullah
I would like to ask, about after visa
what is the next step? like bio card or NI Number or else?
Could you please to tell us what is the next step after arriving in uk?
Could you please send me by private email?.....Thank you!
Hi Abdirahman, thank you for watching my video. Congratulations on getting the visa 🎉🎉🎉
Aww, just relax. Enjoy the time lol. The next step would be to collect the BRP card, maybe get a job if she wants to work, check with hmrc that she has a a national insurance number, open a bank account, get a provisional driving license (even if she doesn’t want/need to drive, it’s a good form of ID), register at the dentist, at the doctors, book her onto some English classes.
Other than that, there’s not much at all!!
God bless you sister, thanks for your videos advice and thanks for help @@RuksanaAhmed

Do you know what questions the immigration asked your husbund
Hi Jasmin, the questions Immigration asked my husband are in the video! :)
Hi there. I have followed some of your suggestion but unfortunately Home Office has refused my wife visa. They are saying no proof of marriage and contact details. Though I have given them my wedding photos, messenger screenshot, money receipts. If you have any idea please share.
Oh no!! 😢😢 I am so sorry to hear of your refusal. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t have accepted it. Did you give them your marriage certificate? Was there a notary for it from the courts. When the right no proof of contact details, are you sure that means no proof of contact between you both or no proof that the numbers given are yours and hers? Screenshots in your chats/calls that show a number mentioned in the form to be yours or hers. Hope you know what I’m saying here...
I have a feeling whoever checked my file must be a big dump or raciast. They have said they don't beleave that we are a genuine couple who intend to live together and lack of contact between us. You can give me your email I can send you the refusal letter.

We are currently in the process of waiting on a decision. My husband wants to come visit me here in the US because he has off from work. His phone accepts calls everywhere he is even if he is not in the UK. So we’re good if we happen to be contacted. My question is: CAN he come visit? Im sure theres no restrictions for his traveling?
