Success Statistics to Date
Visa Rejection Reasons
Factors that can get your visa rejected
Lack of Financial Evidence
Having no proof that one has sufficient money to spend during their stay, either through bank statements or financial guarantees, will result in a visa denial.
Inadequate or Inaccurate Documentation
Failure to prepare proper or inadequate documents leads to a direct rejection since all the documentation has to be perfect.
Previous Violation of Visa or Criminal Record
Staying beyond visa, breaching immigration rules, or even having a criminal record previously can be another important reason for your visa denial.
Failure to Provide Strong Ties in Your Country
Inability to show any strong personal, professional, or financial connections to your home country may raise a question over your intention to return.
Improper Justification of Purpose for Visit
Failure or ambiguity in explaining the purposes for visiting a country or failing to provide evidence like itineraries or invitation letters may result in your visa rejection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can work in the UK on a spouse visa without any restrictions. This visa allows you to take up employment, be self-employed, or start your own business. You have the same work rights as British citizens, except for certain public sector jobs that may require citizenship.
The first temporary UK spouse visa usually is issued for 33 months if the application is made outside the United Kingdom and for 30 months otherwise. After this time, you can request an extension for another 30 months. At the end of the 5th year, you can apply for indefinite leave to remain or make a permanent settlement in the UK.
If your marriage to your UK spouse ends while you are on a spouse visa, you should report to the Home Office in this case. It may be that your visa will be restricted, and you may have to leave the UK unless you can apply to transfer to a different category or have permission to stay under some other ground. As for the citizens’ rights, there are certain sections of the Constitution that preserve and protect the victims of domestic abuse.
Yes, you may apply for a UK spouse visa while having dependent children below 18 years of age. Every child will have to fulfil the visa regulations, such as having a proper place to live and adequate financial means. Children above 18 years apply apart if they have special parenting issues in terms of the law.
Applicants require a Secure English Language Test (SELT), and for the initial application, the minimum Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) level is A1. But, you may be exempt if you are from an English-speaking country, if your degree was taught in English or if you meet some other exemption conditions. For the extension of the visa, the required level has been raised to A2.
