"There is a partner visa available that allows spouses, civil partners, fiancé/es, proposed civil partners and unmarried partners to come to the UK. It is also now possible for EU nationals who have been granted pre-settled or settled status to invite their partners to make an application under this route.
In 2012, the Home Office introduced a minimum income requirement for spouse visas. In order to meet this requirement, applicants are required to provide documents in the precise format as specified by the Home Office or risk refusal.
Since the changes were brought into force, there has been a noticeable increase in the refusal of these applications. This can be very stressful for the couple involved as it means further costs being incurred in having to appeal the refusal, lengthy delays in the appeal taking place at the Tribunal (anything between 6-12 months) and the stress of being kept apart when the application is made from overseas.
