I am a British citizen, earning over £18,600 and have a property. My husband and I had our Nikkah done in the UK and he since returned back to Pak to apply for a spouse visa. We are due to travel there in Nov and I just wanted to know what I need to do to ensure that he gets his spouse visa.
Before he returned, he did his masters in accounts and finance from South Bank University so the English language requirement is not needed. However, his brother has advised me that I change my name on the passport with my husbands surname (even though we are not registered under British law), he also advised me that we should do email exchanges to show that we are in a genuine relationship, but most of our communication is on whatsapp and phone calls. He also advised me that since i have a property i need to speak to an estate agent to visit the property to show that the property has not been rented out, however all the bills, Council tax, electoral register are all in my name, so do i need to get an estate agent to visit the property?
Also, what else do I need, the financial requirement is not an issue neither is the accomodation, neither is our communication but what else do i need to ensure we dont have any problems.
thanks
