no work...applying as a spouse ???

[lykayu01]

i wonder who among here has been in this position when they apply as a spouse as i find it bit difficult to understand some questions on what to put in on forms...

[grahamw48]

Is it you or your sponsor who is without work ?

[lykayu01]

Oh sorry im the wife with no work i mean... My hubby does have work...

[grahamw48]

Spouse of Fiancee visa, doesn't matter whether you have work or not....or even any money.

It is only your husband who needs to show that he can support you HERE.

[lykayu01]

Hi grahamw48 thanks for replying its just that i find it difficult what to answer on financial thing asked on me on the form... Should i also leave questions blank if its not applicable to me or if dont know what i should put in???? As they ask for monthly income how much on the form even if im just supported by my husband... Really find it bit hard to complete the vaf4a form thats why im asking if there is someone here with the same position as me a wife with no work applying for spouse visa??? .....

[grahamw48]

Can you not scan in the document to your computer and then send a copy to your partner to ask his advice ?

Really he is the one with most of the information you need.

It is important that the forms are filled out correctly.

Always answer simply and truthfully.

It is your partner's status and income that is the most important....especially if you are single with no kids.

[lykayu01]

true thanks grahamw48 my husband and i still have no child yet...
just hoping if there are somebody here who applies for spouse visa who also dont have work as a wife like me... just to make things bit clearer as you know sometimes its much better to ask for peoples experiences... thanks ;')

[grahamw48]

I'm sure there will be lots of members who's Fiancees/Spouses were not working.

Hopefully one of them will be along soon to reassure you.

[joebloggs]

you don't need to work, its your husband who is your sponsor, he needs to show he can support you 'without recourse to public funds' so stop worrying about it

[juvyjones28]

Hi lyka, I am also applying for spouse visa this month. Like you I am unemployed and being supported by my husband cuz he doesn't want me to work. But I will definitely work when I get back to UK. My husband is a professional Senior IT Consultant and earn good money. I believe that the embassy will look at our husband's circumstances in the UK. They don't care if we have job or savings here in the Phils but it won't hurt to show any only if you have. I am not working but I have some savings I will show when I lodge my application.

So don't worry if you doesn't have a job here or money. It's your husband that should give sufficient proofs and documents that he can support you. Goodluck.

thanks everyone grahamw48 and joebloggs......

hi ate Juvyjones hope we could get in touch as im just waiting also for my husbands documents and im still preparing for a possible application by 1st week Feb hopefully.... i just have loads of questions...specially on filling up the form as there are some questions in my finances here in pinas...and so on...

[juvyjones28]

I'm quite confused with some of the questions too, but my husband will guide me when I fill in the application.

I would like to see this form as my my soon to be wife will being going though the same paperwork.Is there no way it can be scanned and posted on this site somewhere or will that be again copyright?

[juvyjones28]

Rory, Its an online application form, the old VAF4A is no longer applicable to use now.

You can always practice answering the online application form for future reference:
