UK Spouse Visa Applications – Family & Partner Visa Lawyers Hertfordshire
N & M Immigration Lawyers assist couples across Hertfordshire, London and the UK with spouse visas, fiancé visas, civil partner visas, unmarried partner visas and FLR(M) spouse visa extensions.
UK spouse visa applications are heavily evidence-based and must comply with strict Home Office Immigration Rules and Appendix FM requirements. Even where couples are genuine, applications can still be refused because of incorrect financial evidence, weak supporting documents or poorly prepared applications.
Our role is to ensure your spouse visa application is prepared correctly from the outset in line with current UKVI caseworker guidance and Home Office requirements.

Spouse Visa Requirements UK
The Home Office assesses spouse visa applications strictly against Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules. Applicants must normally demonstrate:
- A genuine and subsisting relationship
- Intention to live together permanently in the UK
- Meeting the financial requirement
- Suitable accommodation in the UK
- English language requirement compliance
- Valid immigration status where applying inside the UK
Applications must be supported by properly prepared evidence. If information is unclear, inconsistent or unsupported, the Home Office may refuse the application.
Common Reasons Spouse Visas Are Refused
Financial Evidence Errors
Incorrect payslips, missing bank statements, weak self-employment evidence or incorrect income calculations.
Weak Relationship Evidence
Insufficient proof of genuine relationship history, communication or cohabitation.
Accommodation Problems
Lack of suitable accommodation evidence or unclear living arrangements.
English Language Issues
Wrong SELT test, expired English certificate or incorrect exemption evidence.
Application Form Errors
Incorrect dates, inconsistencies or information conflicting with supporting documents.
Poor Legal Structure
Applications submitted without proper legal explanation or organised evidence structure.
Financial Requirement – Spouse Visa Applications
The financial requirement remains one of the most important aspects of a spouse visa application.
Depending on the circumstances, applicants may rely on:
- Employment income
- Self-employment income
- Cash savings
- Pension income
- Combination of permitted income sources
The Home Office requires strict specified evidence under Appendix FM-SE. Even small document errors can result in refusal.
