Spouse Visa extension relationships

last updated 4 May 2024

One of the requirements for extending your spouse visa after 33 months is the ‘subsisting relationship requirement’. This means:

You must still be in the same eligible & genuine relationship with the same person you were in when you were granted your first Spouse Visa.
Your partner or spouse must be either a British national, a person present and settled in the UK (i.e. British national, EU Pre-Settled or Settled Status, or Indefinite Leave to Remain), or a person who has been granted refugee status or humanitarian protection in the UK.
You are still in a marriage or in a civil partnership with your partner or in a relationship akin to marriage for at least the preceding 2 years before your initial visa was granted.

I had an excellent experience with Mansouri & Son Solicitors during my wife’s spouse visa application. Cyrus was very professional, precise, and attentive throughout the whole process. He made sure every detail was carefully checked and always gave clear guidance at each stage, which made the application process much smoother and less stressful. We are extremely pleased that the visa was successfully granted and very grateful for the support we received. I would definitely recommend Cyrus and Mansouri & Son Solicitors to anyone needing help with a spouse visa or other immigration matters.

We had a great experience with Mansouri & Son Solicitors, who successfully handled my wife’s spouse visa application. Cyrus was extremely precise, professional, and thorough throughout the entire process. He paid close attention to every detail, explained everything clearly, and made sure the application was prepared properly from start to finish. The whole process felt organised and reassuring, and we are very happy with the successful outcome. I would highly recommend Cyrus and Mansouri & Son Solicitors to anyone looking for reliable and professional immigration advice.

Highly recommended - helped us with ID & address verification, as well as a statutory declaration, on short notice and over a weekend - much appreciated and will definitely use again in the future.

Response from the owner:Thank you Izak for your kind review. Happy to have been of assistance at short notice

I reached out to Cyrus regarding a severely delayed citizenship application. Even before I officially instructed the firm, Cyrus was incredibly generous with his time. He provided a very detailed, realistic breakdown of my options over email and during a phone call. What I appreciated most was his honesty: he didn't try to push me into an expensive Judicial Review straight away, but instead explained the costs transparently and suggested a more measured approach. My application actually got approved shortly after our chat, so I didn't end up needing to proceed with legal action, but I was extremely impressed by his integrity and expertise. Highly recommend him and the firm!

Response from the owner:Thank you Mr Hadian for your very kind words - we are all delighted that the matter resolved itself before you had to go to additional expense. Wishing you the best for the future

I cannot recommend Mansouri & Son Solicitors highly enough. Going through a divorce is never easy, but the professionalism, support, and guidance I received throughout the entire process made a huge difference. A special thank you to Rosie, who was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. She was compassionate, responsive, reassuring, and always took the time to explain everything clearly. If you are looking for a law firm that genuinely cares about their clients and delivers outstanding service, Mansouri & Son are the people to trust. Truly a 5-star experience.

Response from the owner:Wow what an outstanding review you have left us! Thank you very much for your kindness and we are all delighted that you are happy with the outcome of your matter. Wishing you all the best for the future and hoping everything runs smoothly for you from now on.
