Successful Spouse Visa Extension Based on Savings
28.10.2025
Sterling Law recently secured a successful outcome for a client extending her leave to remain in the UK as the partner of a British citizen. While spouse visa extensions often appear straightforward, this case presented unique challenges in meeting the Home Office’s financial requirements.
Challenges in Meeting the Financial Requirement
Our client wished to rely entirely on her savings to meet the financial threshold. Although this is an accepted route under the Immigration Rules, the funds were held across several different accounts and sources, which required careful preparation and clear evidence to satisfy the strict Home Office criteria.
Detailed Financial Review and Preparation
Our team carried out a detailed financial review, tracing the source of each deposit and ensuring the funds met the required holding period. We prepared a comprehensive set of supporting documents, including formal declarations and evidence demonstrating that the savings were genuinely available and lawfully obtained. Every figure was checked and calculated to confirm compliance with the financial requirement before submission.
Outcome and Client Success
Through meticulous preparation and clear presentation, the application was approved without delay, allowing our client to continue her life in the UK with her British partner.
Team Involved
The matter was handled by Tetiana Deren and Daria Kotkova, whose experience and attention to detail ensured the success of the case.
