What this route generally looks for
These are the main areas usually assessed. Every case is different, so treat this as general guidance rather than a checklist that guarantees an outcome.
A genuine relationship

How The Migration Station helps
We help you understand each requirement and how it applies to your situation, including the financial requirement in general terms based on the current rules. We help you organise strong relationship evidence, coordinate your documents and prepare a careful application. We assess the financial position honestly rather than quoting figures that may change.
Timelines can change
Family visa processing times are set by the Home Office and can change. We will give you a realistic view based on current guidance rather than a fixed promise.
