Hi Cynthia, I hope you’ve been amazing. I’m applying my extension spouse visa and I really confused to one question so I hope you could help me answer this question. So I and my spouse ( British citizen) we have one son ( British citizen),in my question section “ Are all of your children applying with you on this application? “ my answer is no because as my son is a British citizen “ and then I already filled all my son’s details as a non applying on this application. Next question is “Does my spouse have any other children in the UK that are not applying on this application? “ Should I answer yes or no?thank you so much Cynthia, I’m waiting for hearing your reply xx
Hi Michael, I am doing great. Thank you. After filling all those information about your child (their passport, who is responsible for them and ticking the boxes that you will provide evidence of birth certificate etc), the next question about any other non-applying child is for a second child. Since you only have one child, you will tick NO. I hope this was helpful! Have a lovely day!
@@cynthiaacademy thank you Cynthia for your reply, “I mean the next question about any other child non applying child “ this question is for my spouse ( so should I answer no?)
After I filling all those information( I also answer his other parent is my spouse), and then the next question just straight away question for my spouse “ does your spouse have any other children non applying?”
@@michaelheayoung3986 Ok, I understand. Note that every question on the application is for the applicant (you) unless otherwise stated. Your spouse is referred to as a partner/sponsor. I believe that there is another place where they will ask for any other non- applying child of your partner(I might be wrong). I would fill No and continue with the applications and then make sure I explained that my spouse/partner/ sponsor has another child or children in my cover letter. The cover letter is used to explain any grey areas. Alternatively, you could call or send an email to the government on their website asking them for more clarity on the matter. Cheers Have a lovely day!
@@michaelheayoung3986 Exactly that is what I was expecting. I am only seeing your last question now. All the questions on the application form are for you, the applicant. When they need information about your spouse, they will ask specifically for your spouse’s child. Apologies that this sounds this way when your family is a unit. All the best!
hi, Bio was on 1 Nov for spouse visa (outside UK) standard. Got ECO email on 8 Nov. No additional documents asked. Did paid inquiry yesterday: decision awaiting. When can I expect the decision?
No one can say for sure. Some say that the waiting time is 6 to 8 weeks. It could be longer for applications outside the UK perhaps up to 12 weeks. You just have to be patient. No need to panic. Hopefully it comes sooner than anticipated. I wish you and your partner the best.
Hi Cynthia, thanks for the videos. Help me please, I am so confused with the biometrics. When do we do the biometrics? Is it after we submit the application? Will we be informed when we should schedule it? Thanks
Hi Biometrics is after you submit your application. When you submit your application, you will be asked to book an appointment date for your biometrics. You will select a date based on your availability and the location you are in. I hope this helps you. All the best!
hi , Cynthia, this helps a lot , i have one quesiton, i went to uk in 2017 sep, stay in uk for about 2 years (student visa), but during these two years , i have traverl tot italy and netherland , serbia, on and off , totally about 20 days, then i left uk in 2019, then i came back here again study in 2023 march, so my question is how do i fill the Time lived in the UK , thank you very much
@@suzhang5497 I don’t know the visa application you are going for. I would fill the time lived in in the UK as a student and the time I have been living since March 2023. I would also explain my cover letter that I travelled to Italy, Netherlands and Serbia on and off clearly stating the days I was in and out of those countries. Visit the government websites and check for contact details. You can call the government for clarity on any visa matter. All the best!
When you complete the online application, you need to pay for IHS and visa fees and book a biometric appointments. When you book it, you can upload your documents before the appointment day and/or bring them for the biometric appointment. At the biometrics appointment that is when you are captured and you provide all your documents for scanning. I hope this is helpful. Have a stress-free application.
Hi Cynthia ,I’m in Uk and I want to bring my wife what steps can I take .Because I confuse I see this video but for extension not for the first time bring your partner to the UK can you help me please.
Hi, It is true that it is not my first application but the questions asked are similar. 95% percent of the questions asked in this form is the exact same questions asked during my first application. Don’t be afraid, just fill it by following the guidelines in this video. The beautiful thing about it is that you can save and return to it at another time to complete the application. All the best!
Hi Cynthia, thank you for this video. In regards to the payment fee, how much is this all together ? Also do they allow payment with credit card or does the payment fee also have to be in the applicators bank account for 6months leading to the application
Since the initial Spouse Visa lasts 30 months, applicants will need to pay around £2,587.50 for IHS fee. Note that IHS fees is £1035 per year. The UK spouse visa application fee in 2024 is £1,048 if your application is made inside the UK and £1,846 if your application is made outside the UK.

@@emakimberly6541 I have edited my last comment so that it is not confusing. That figure is for IHS fees for 30months in 2024. In addition to that, you will pay a visa fee of £1048 if you are applying from within the UK. Dear reader, Please always cross check everything you see on TH-cam. The government website would contain the most accurate information. Policies change all the time and I don’t know when any reader will be looking at this comment. All the best!
Hi, the question “Is your current entry clearance or leave to remain as the partner of one of the following?” My husband is currently on a student visa. I am british, this is the first time he’s applying for a visa as a partner of a british citizen. So would he select yes or no?
Let me first state that I am not an immigration advisor or consultant. I am only sharing my opinion and understanding of the matter. All the questions asked in the application are directed at your husband. They are asking your husband "Is his current entry clearance or leave to remain as the partner of one of the following?" @4.09 Since he is on a Student visa and applying for a spouse visa for the first time, the answer is No. All the best!
Hi Cynthia, thank you for the video! I am applying for the spouse visa first time! Do you recommend prepare the evidence of relationship as a timeline in a pdf doc and uploading it ? It seems that all the evidence is to be uploaded after you pay the fee and you can really see the section before is it up to you what evidence you choose to provide on top of the required docs that the application mentions? For example, if I’m going to live with my husband at his parents place I would provide the letter from his parents either copy of id saying that that are happy for me to live with them and there are enough rooms etc? In addition does it take long to get the biometrics ? If we pay for priority service ? Thank you!
Remember that I am not an immigration advisor and consultant therefore this is not legal advice. The system will not allow you to upload PDF documents past a certain size. That is why I think you need to not upload too large documents. Send in different pieces of documents. In my opinion, I suggest that you upload a letter from your in-laws stating that they are happy to have you both in their house. You can get a deed to their house if it is their own, it doesn’t cost much money online. Please ask for permission before you do so so that it doesn’t cost problems with your in-laws. A deed often shows who owns it and sometimes how many rooms are in it. Another evidence you could provide is screenshots of messages, chats and email between you and your husband spread over a number of months or years. Marriage certificate and joint bank account( it isn’t necessary) are good to add. If you don’t have joint account, then include both accounts that you each own but highlight money received and sent between both of you. You can provide other evidence as listed in this video. th-cam.com/video/4PJGBGjvSDg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=V0KE50BXdJogJ3px After paying, you are to book for biometrics on the next available slot and I don’t know how long it would take after your biometrics capture to receive a decision and your BRP for priority service. Check the government website for information on that. All the best!
Hi admin, i am a skilled worker and im aplying my wife dependan visa, when i am aplying my visa which is skilled worker visa tier 2, i didnt book a bio metrics i just did scan my brp and thats it. My questiion is, is my will do scan her brp as what i did? Or ahe have to book a bio metrics? Thanks
@@JordanLanting Hi, I am not an admin. I don’t work for the government. I am only sharing my experiences as I hope it will help others. Try using the UK immigration ID check app instead. Use this app instead of going to a UK biometric centre: save time and money th-cam.com/video/puTxo7-h1N0/w-d-xo.html All the best.
If you are pursuing a BSc or Master of Science, you cannot bring dependents unless you are sponsored by a government eg via scholarship. If you are pursuing a Masters of Research or PhD, you can bring dependents. This form in this video is for those married or partners of British citizens or ILR holders. I have many contents for students that will help you navigate the sister. All the best!
nice clean and details video you done a great job . well I have a question I have submit my spouse visa application today and get biometric date of 1 of may (Rule apply on 11 of April ) do 11 April rule apply on my application ?
Thank you for the positive feedback. I don’t think that the date of appointment matters in this situation. As long as you submitted your appointment before April 11th, it should be judged by the current rules and not the new rules. All the best!
Hi Cynthia , I came across your helpful video I am about to switch my skilled worker visa to spouse visa. Is it a must to provide a cover letter for the spouse visa and there are any chances of getting the visa without the help from solicitors?
Hi Happy, Remember that if your switch from skilled worker visa to spouse visa you will lose the years you spent on skilled worker visa to count towards your ILR settlement. It is not a MUST but desirable and it helps clarify your situation for the person working on your case so that there are no assumptions. It is best to provide cover letters for every visa you apply for. I got my visa twice without the help of solicitors. Solicitors should be used for complicated cases. If you case is complex, it is best to hire one. I shared three videos that have helped thousands of people, if you watch all three and apply the tips there, you will be fine. I wish you the best!
Hi, how are you , your youtube video helped us a lot in filling a family visa application , pls help us Consent form for the Home Office to verify application Part 1 - signed by the applicant Part 2 - signed by the partner who is sponsor because both have joint bill Part 3 - can I leave blank, this is when a third party is financially supporting an application, but third party support is not allowed for a family visa so this part is not relevant Is all this correct Thanks Kind regards
Hi I am fine. I am glad that you found this very helpful. This is correct. Just a suggestion and I might be wrong. I realised that too much is better than an omission of document. If you can get another part 2 and both of you should sign because both of you are signatories to the same joint account that the Home Office will give to the bank as consent to access it. All the best!
What I paid is no longer attainable as it has increased. If you want o know the current cost, I explained everything in this video. Latest Update on UK Family and Spouse Visa: Income threshold, Savings Calculation and Cost th-cam.com/video/E7EqkwS2KmM/w-d-xo.html Note that the income threshold is £29,000 until a MAC review is submitted and a decision is made to increase or reduce it.

This is my second spouse visa application. This visa application form has similar questions to my first spouse application questions. You will encounter similar questions in your 1st spouse visa. I hope this helps.
Hello Cynthia, I am about to switch from my fiancée visa to a spouse one inside the UK, obviously. So what will I answer concerning that question asking about "The HO Reference Number"? Kind of confused about this. Kindly clarify for me. Thank you & Blessings.
She is the applicant while you are the sponsor therefore she is applying from outside the UK. It is the applicant’s details that you should be including in the forms unless otherwise stated. The answer is outside the UK. I hope this helps. I wish you both the best.
Thank you for the good job. If I am applying for my spouse and I am using my own email for application, should I choose "Applying for someone or Applying for myself" ? Thank you
@@solomonakosah4216 In my opinion, I think it is best to for your spouse to fill the application using her email to log in or you apply for her but at the beginning when the application ask whether you are the applicant or someone applying for the applicant, you tick the later. In all this, I don’t really think it matters. I just feel that you use your email and tick that you are applying for the applicant. Remember I am not an immigration advisor, I only state what I would do in that situation. I wish you both the best.

Has any one here applied for spouse visa extension and had to pay immigration health surcharge even if you work in healthcare??? Please I need answers..
You have to pay IHS fees for spouse visa even if you work in health care. If you were to apply for a health and care visa then you will not pay IHS fees. The visa you are applying for is what matters whether you will pay for IHS fees or not. I hope this helps.
Hi how are you I need your help the health insurance is the only thing that you pay first o have to be the complete amount I just want to know if is a time between both payments please and thanks
Hi, I am doing fine. Thank you. Yes, you need to pay for IHS first before it redirects you to a page where you can pay for the visa fees and book an appointment for your biometrics. You pay for IHS complete fees first then spouse visa FLM fees next. I hope this helps. I wish you the best!
I Hi Cynthia, thank you for your great work. I am on a Skilled Worker visa and I just changed my employer and I have applied and received my visa. Can follow this your video to apply for my spouse ? Thank you
No, this is for those whose partner are British citizens, have indefinite leave to remain or related status. You should apply for a dependent to skilled worker visa for your spouse. I hope this helps.
You can Google dependent visa UK application and visit the government website to follow their guidelines on how to apply for a dependent via. All the best!
Hi Madam i am new subscriber here. Your channel is very clear and helpful,and thank you so much. If you do mind me ask about applying my extension visa I am 10 year route here in the uk my visa expired this coming April 23,2024.When can I start applying Please. Thank you
Thank you for your feedback. You could create a better video, don’t blurr out any information, give explanations and post it on your TH-cam channel. The purpose of this video is to help others know what questions to expect and documents are needed so that they can do theirs with little stress. It is not to answer the questions for them or give explanations for each answer as it is personal to me. If you could do better, simply do so. Everyone with a TH-cam app or a Google account on TH-cam has a create button. Create a better application process video that isn’t common sense. All the best.
Hi Beautiful people, These three videos are for you if you are married to a British citizen or someone who has indefinite leave to remain or you intend to settle through the spouse visa route. Even if you are not in this category, you can watch this to better understand how the British system works with regards to immigration for married or civil partners. I needed to make this video so that it can help someone out there. If people videoed their application process, it will help others know that perhaps they can do these applications themselves without paying immigration lawyers thousands of pounds. th-cam.com/video/HQziwFHvEbk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/flot9cKhlDg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/4PJGBGjvSDg/w-d-xo.html I am rooting for you!!!

hi, Cynthia, is it necessary that me and my partner have to live together, will the home office ask that , we got married recently, but still got our own house now, just stay in night together, I am wondering is it necessary to live together, thank you
@@suzhang5497 Oh dear! Apologies I can’t answer that question. It states on the government website to present evidence of living together for at least 2 years. If I were you, I would call the government to gain more clarity on the matter. Visit the UK government website. It would be best to live together and get your bills with address from the same address to put as evidence in your visa. I guess that there are newly weds whose visa must been approved despite not living together. No matter the decision you make, always have a cover letter that explains discrepancies in your application. Include your phone number and email in case the person in the Home Office who is looking at your case application needs to contact you for more clarity. I wish you the best.

Hello, where do you upload or give all your documents such as bank statements and wage slips? Is it after you paid online or in person?
When you complete the online application, you need to pay for IHS and visa fees and book a biometric appointments. When you book it, you can upload your documents before the appointment day and/or bring them for the biometric appointment. At the biometrics appointment that is when you are captured and you provide all your documents for scanning.

Hi, the question “Is your current entry clearance or leave to remain as the partner of one of the following?” My husband is currently on a student visa. I am british, this is the first time he’s applying for a visa as a partner of a british citizen. So would he select yes or no?
Let me first state that I am not an immigration advisor or consultant. I am only sharing my opinion and understanding of the matter.
All the questions asked in the application are directed at your husband.
They are asking your husband "Is his current entry clearance or leave to remain as the partner of one of the following?" @4.09
Since he is on a Student visa and applying for a spouse visa for the first time, the answer is No.
All the best!
Hi Cynthia, thank you for the video! I am applying for the spouse visa first time! Do you recommend prepare the evidence of relationship as a timeline in a pdf doc and uploading it ? It seems that all the evidence is to be uploaded after you pay the fee and you can really see the section before is it up to you what evidence you choose to provide on top of the required docs that the application mentions? For example, if I’m going to live with my husband at his parents place I would provide the letter from his parents either copy of id saying that that are happy for me to live with them and there are enough rooms etc?
In addition does it take long to get the biometrics ? If we pay for priority service ?
Thank you!
Remember that I am not an immigration advisor and consultant therefore this is not legal advice.
The system will not allow you to upload PDF documents past a certain size. That is why I think you need to not upload too large documents. Send in different pieces of documents.
In my opinion, I suggest that you upload a letter from your in-laws stating that they are happy to have you both in their house. You can get a deed to their house if it is their own, it doesn’t cost much money online. Please ask for permission before you do so so that it doesn’t cost problems with your in-laws.
A deed often shows who owns it and sometimes how many rooms are in it.
Another evidence you could provide is screenshots of messages, chats and email between you and your husband spread over a number of months or years.
Marriage certificate and joint bank account( it isn’t necessary) are good to add. If you don’t have joint account, then include both accounts that you each own but highlight money received and sent between both of you.
You can provide other evidence as listed in this video.
th-cam.com/video/4PJGBGjvSDg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=V0KE50BXdJogJ3px
After paying, you are to book for biometrics on the next available slot and I don’t know how long it would take after your biometrics capture to receive a decision and your BRP for priority service. Check the government website for information on that.
All the best!

Hi, how are you , your youtube video helped us a lot in filling a family visa application , pls help us Consent form for the Home Office to verify application
Part 1 - signed by the applicant
Part 2 - signed by the partner who is sponsor because both have joint bill
Part 3 - can I leave blank, this is when a third party is financially supporting an application, but third party support is not allowed for a family visa so this part is not relevant
Is all this correct
Thanks
Kind regards
Hi
I am fine.
I am glad that you found this very helpful.
This is correct.
Just a suggestion and I might be wrong. I realised that too much is better than an omission of document.
If you can get another part 2 and both of you should sign because both of you are signatories to the same joint account that the Home Office will give to the bank as consent to access it.
All the best!
Please how much did you pay in total thanks
What I paid is no longer attainable as it has increased.
If you want o know the current cost, I explained everything in this video.

Note that the income threshold is £29,000 until a MAC review is submitted and a decision is made to increase or reduce it.

I dont understand. Is this for the 1st spouse visa after the fiance visa ?
This is my second spouse visa application. This visa application form has similar questions to my first spouse application questions. You will encounter similar questions in your 1st spouse visa.
I hope this helps.
@@cynthiaacademy oh thank you lots. 💕
@@Victorinoff You are welcome.
Hello Cynthia,
I am about to switch from my fiancée visa to a spouse one inside the UK, obviously.
So what will I answer concerning that question asking about "The HO Reference Number"?
Kind of confused about this.
Kindly clarify for me.
Thank you & Blessings.
Hi Cythian
I work as a carer do I still need to pay IHS when switching to my husband spouse visa. Thanks
My answer will be yes. However, you can call the government to ask you question so that you get the right answer.
All the best!
if i am applying for wife that lives outside the uk, will i choose apply from within UK or outside?
She is the applicant while you are the sponsor therefore she is applying from outside the UK. It is the applicant’s details that you should be including in the forms unless otherwise stated. The answer is outside the UK.
I hope this helps.
I wish you both the best.
@@cynthiaacademy Thank you so much for the quick reply and I hope your channel does very well you been helpful!

You are welcome 🙏
Thank you for the good job. If I am applying for my spouse and I am using my own email for application, should I choose "Applying for someone or Applying for myself" ? Thank you
@@solomonakosah4216 In my opinion, I think it is best to for your spouse to fill the application using her email to log in or you apply for her but at the beginning when the application ask whether you are the applicant or someone applying for the applicant, you tick the later.
In all this, I don’t really think it matters. I just feel that you use your email and tick that you are applying for the applicant.
Remember I am not an immigration advisor, I only state what I would do in that situation. I wish you both the best.
Hi Cynthia, how much is the IHS fee spousal visa?

Thank you dear. Can you or anyone here assist or make a video on how to update a skilled worker dependent visa ?
Thank you for the suggestion. I will keep that in mind.
Hello sweetheart please is it same web site if I wants to switch from fiance visa to spouse visa inside the UK
Yes, it is.
I hope it helps.
Have a great week ahead.
Thanks a lot
Has any one here applied for spouse visa extension and had to pay immigration health surcharge even if you work in healthcare??? Please I need answers..
You have to pay IHS fees for spouse visa even if you work in health care. If you were to apply for a health and care visa then you will not pay IHS fees.
The visa you are applying for is what matters whether you will pay for IHS fees or not.
I hope this helps.
Hi how are you I need your help the health insurance is the only thing that you pay first o have to be the complete amount I just want to know if is a time between both payments please and thanks
Hi,
I am doing fine. Thank you.
Yes, you need to pay for IHS first before it redirects you to a page where you can pay for the visa fees and book an appointment for your biometrics.
You pay for IHS complete fees first then spouse visa FLM fees next.
I hope this helps.
I wish you the best!
Hi can you make new Step by Step Skilled worker spouse visa application?

Hi Cynthia, thank you for your great work. I am on a Skilled Worker visa and I just changed my employer and I have applied and received my visa. Can follow this your video to apply for my spouse ? Thank you
No, this is for those whose partner are British citizens, have indefinite leave to remain or related status. You should apply for a dependent to skilled worker visa for your spouse.
I hope this helps.
Hi, why my visa period is for 1 year and 11 months??
Sorry I don’t understand your question. Did you apply for a spouse visa? Is this the first time? Is this what is written on your BRP?
How do you apply for dependent visa?
You can Google dependent visa UK application and visit the government website to follow their guidelines on how to apply for a dependent via.
All the best!

not the best video at all, with all the blurring, and no explanation, everything said was common sense info e.g. choose yes or no and say why
Thank you for your feedback.
You could create a better video, don’t blurr out any information, give explanations and post it on your TH-cam channel.
The purpose of this video is to help others know what questions to expect and documents are needed so that they can do theirs with little stress.
It is not to answer the questions for them or give explanations for each answer as it is personal to me.
If you could do better, simply do so. Everyone with a TH-cam app or a Google account on TH-cam has a create button. Create a better application process video that isn’t common sense.
All the best.
Great

Hi Beautiful people,
These three videos are for you if you are married to a British citizen or someone who has indefinite leave to remain or you intend to settle through the spouse visa route.
Even if you are not in this category, you can watch this to better understand how the British system works with regards to immigration for married or civil partners.
I needed to make this video so that it can help someone out there.
If people videoed their application process, it will help others know that perhaps they can do these applications themselves without paying immigration lawyers thousands of pounds.

hi, Cynthia, is it necessary that me and my partner have to live together, will the home office ask that , we got married recently, but still got our own house now, just stay in night together, I am wondering is it necessary to live together, thank you
@@suzhang5497
Oh dear!
Apologies I can’t answer that question.
It states on the government website to present evidence of living together for at least 2 years.
If I were you, I would call the government to gain more clarity on the matter. Visit the UK government website.
It would be best to live together and get your bills with address from the same address to put as evidence in your visa. I guess that there are newly weds whose visa must been approved despite not living together.
No matter the decision you make, always have a cover letter that explains discrepancies in your application. Include your phone number and email in case the person in the Home Office who is looking at your case application needs to contact you for more clarity.
I wish you the best.
@@cynthiaacademy thank you so much ❤️
