Hi everyone! I'm new in this site and this is my very for st post. I read most if the conversation threads here, it seems that everyone is friendly and helping each other to get approved. I have a question, my partner and I is planning to apply for a family of a settled person visa, ( fiancé visa) I am currently unemployed now, will it affect our visa application? Cause I can't provide any of my financial information but my fiancé riches the standard salary that the sponsor should earn to petition the fiancé, plus he got enough payslips and bank accounts to prove that e is financially stable to support me/us. Can I ask for advicem should we delay our application and have me look for job and stayed their for 6 months and then file our fiancé visa? Or do we have a chance to get approved even when I'm jobless? I've got no job since I graduated college. Any help please. Thank you Erica and Steven
Ukvi are interested only in what the British citizen sponsor earns. They do not care whether the filipino applicant is working or not.
should we delay our application and have me look for job and stayed their for 6 months and then file our fiancé visa? no--you cannot apply for a settlement ("fiance") visa if you are in the UK on a 6 month visit visa--you have to go home first and apply from there. nor can you work here while youre on a 6 month visa.
I assumed you were in the Philippines. If you're in the UK on a student visa then i agree with bigmac. And no you definitely can't work in the UK on that visa type. I don't think you can work on a fiancee visa either. There may be a process that you could follow to marry here whilst you are here and then apply as family of a settled person but I don't know enough about that.
Hello. As our good members just said, UKVI will only check the sponsor's financials. I, myself, quit my job prior to visa application. The bank statements I showed on my end is just to compare that he sends the money straight to my bank account. On the other hand, if the applicant is in the UK in a visit visa and planning to apply for a settlement visa, he/she has to go back to the Philippines to lodge their application of the proper visa.
Welcome to the forum Erica. Don't worry that you are not working - as long as your fiance sponsor meets the income requirements, that is what matters.
