Spouse Fiancé Visa
If you are looking to bring your spouse, fiancé(e) or partner to the United Kingdom, our experienced immigration law team can help. At Powell Spencer & Partners, our specialist immigration solicitors provide expert guidance and support for UK spouse visa applications, fiancé visa UK applications, and partner visa advice.
Why Choose Us for Your Spouse / Fiancé Visa Application
We are London-based immigration solicitors with a track record of successfully handling spouse visa and fiancé visa applications.
We provide clear, tailored advice on the financial requirement, English language requirement, relationship evidence, and all other aspects of the UK Immigration Rules.
We handle everything: from the initial consultation, through preparing and submitting the application, to liaising with UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) and managing any follow-up queries.
Our Spouse & Fiancé Visa Services
✅ UK Spouse / Partner Visa
If you are living in the UK and married to or in a civil partnership with a non-UK national, we assist with applications under the Spouse / Partner route. We ensure you meet the financial threshold (or savings requirement), show your genuine relationship, and submit a strong application.
✅ Fiancé(e) Visa (Unmarried Partner Visa)
If you plan to get married or enter into a civil partnership in the UK within six months, the fiancé(e) or unmarried partner visa route may be right for you. We guide you through the specific eligibility criteria and the steps to secure UK entry for your partner.
✅ Extension & Switching Visas
Already in the UK but need to extend or switch your partner/spouse visa? We advise on next steps to maintain lawful status and work rights.
✅ Appeals & Administrative Review
If your application is refused, we offer robust support for administrative reviews or appeals where applicable.
What You Must Know: Key Requirements
Financial requirement: You must meet the minimum income threshold or savings requirement to sponsor your partner.
English language requirement: Your partner must satisfy the English test requirement unless exempt.
Relationship evidence: You must demonstrate a genuine and subsisting relationship, co-habitation in many cases, and intention to live together permanently.
Accommodation: You must show you have adequate accommodation without relying on public funds.
Immigration status: The sponsor must hold the correct immigration status or be settled in the UK.
Our Fixed Fee & Service Process
We offer a clear, fixed-fee service so you know the cost up front. Our process includes:
Initial consultation – usual within 48 hours of instruction.
Advice on eligibility and preparatory checks (financials, English, relationship, documents).
Preparation and submission of the visa application on your behalf.
Ongoing communication with UKVI, managing any additional requests or queries.
Post-decision guidance on next steps (for example work rights, extension, settlement).
Typical turnaround for submission is around 4 weeks, though decision times can vary. Decisions from UKVI may currently take approximately 6-9 months for this category, though this can change.
Please note: UKVI application fees, biometric enrolment fees, the NHS surcharge and translation costs are not included in our fee.
FAQs – Spouse & Fiancé Visa UK
Q: Can I work on a fiancé(e) visa in the UK?
A: No – the fiancé(e) visa does not automatically grant work rights; you will normally need to apply to switch to a ‘spouse/partner’ visa after marriage/civil partnership.
Q: What if my sponsor is self-employed or has non-UK income?
A: We have extensive experience in assessing complex income situations including self-employment, overseas earnings and savings compliance.
Q: Can my partner apply from outside the UK?
A: Yes – our team assists overseas applications and those applying to join you in the UK under the partner/spouse route.
