Spousal visa
« on: July 02, 2008, 04:24:37 PM »
How far in advance are you allowed to apply for a spousal visa?  We're planning on moving to Leeds in late March/early April, but if we can get it done well in advance, we'd like to.  We're currently in the US, and my husband is the UKC.  He's been living in the States since December 2005, and I'm a USC.

And one of the requirements is proof of a place to live upon arrival to the UK.  We plan on staying in a hotel until we find a house or flat to rent-- how do we address this portion of the application?

you can apply up to 3 months before you plan to travel (ask for the visa to be post dated for your travel date when you apply), but you should enter the UK within 28 days of the date printed on the visa if you're planning on applying for ILR later on.
