This is an important part of the UK Spouse Visa procedure and a lot depends on the interview. There may be some explanations required regarding the information provided in the application form or the documents submitted along with the application. This opportunity must be used to cover the discrepancies left behind if any, and provide a reasonable explanation.

It is a general understanding that spouses should know all the circumstances of each other and be in contact with one another at all times. During an interview the entry clearance officer normally asks questions that are more related to:

While the submission of such a letter along with the entry clearance application form by the applicant will serve as a proof of the intention of the applicant that he / she agrees to stay together with his / her spouse at the address given on the letter by the sponsor.

The entry clearance officer might ask questions regarding the address or description of the place of residence, where the applicant intends to stay in the UK.

UK Spouse Visa – Parties Must have Met

Generally it is nearly impossible getting married to any person who you have never met however this would depend on certain circumstances. The UK diplomats do not really view this as being out of the ordinary and who prefer to see certain evidence of the relationship. These might include but limited to:

• A marriage certificate from another country.
• Marriage Pictures of you and your wife together.

In addition to the above, the entry clearance officers do ask questions relating to this issue, to make sure that the applicant has really met the spouse. Most frequent questions which may be asked  are:

1. The place or time / day of your first meeting

2. Where the marriage ceremony had taken place

3. Close family members of the sponsor and such
