Hi I married my Filipino wife in April 2013 I am back in the Uk she is back working in Hong Kong we are applying for her to come and live in the UK, what a pain the visa application is!!! Anyway Question: Her passport is valid until Feb 2014 does she need to renew it before we apply for her visa or is it ok to apply now before she renews it????
Hello raddy, welcome to the forum It really depends when you intend to submit an application. There's no poblem renewing here in UK. Currently takes between 4 or 5 weeks. I would suggest to take a very serious look at your timing and then decide the best option for you both. There's no UKBA requirement to renew, but if you have time to renew now it's likely to be the optimum plan going forward. When do you believe she'll be ready to submit?
