Thomas Chase Q&A: Spouse visas and Disability Living Allowance
We received a query from an applicant who wished to apply for a spouse visa to join her husband (her sponsor) in the UK. Her husband was in receipt of Disability Living Allowance and she had reservations as to whether they could even meet the financial requirements. The good news is, where a person is in receipt of Disability Living Allowance, they will be exempt from meeting the strict income provisions under the financial requirements.

Thomas Chase Q&A – Tier 1 (Investor) visa
Two very different potential clients asked whether now was a good time to apply for a Tier 1 (investor) visa. Despite what you may think, investors can be risk averse. It therefore stands to reason that before investing £2,000,000 or more in the UK, potential investors from outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland will wish to know if they (and their families) will be welcomed and if they can expect further obstacles to the application process.
