Family Visa Testimonial
Rohit Kapoor

Successfully sponsored spouse to Canada

"Navigating the spouse sponsorship process for Canada seemed overwhelming until we approached Osborne Visa Consultant. Their expertise in documentation and relationship evidence preparation was invaluable. They guided us through each step, from filling out forms to preparing for the interview. We received approval in just 8 months, which is faster than we expected. My wife has now joined me in Toronto, and we're building our life together thanks to Osborne's dedicated support."

Family Visa Testimonial
Simran Kaur

Reunited with parents in Australia

"After becoming a permanent resident in Australia, bringing my elderly parents to join me was my priority. Osborne helped us navigate the complex Parent Visa application process, including meeting the financial requirements and health assessments. They suggested applying for the Contributory Parent Visa for faster processing and helped with every detail. After 14 months, my parents' visas were approved! The day they arrived in Melbourne was the happiest day of my life. Osborne's expert guidance made our family reunification possible."

Family Visa Testimonial
Arvind Sharma

Child visa for UK reunification

"After securing a job and settlement in the UK, I needed to bring my 12-year-old son who was staying with grandparents in India. The process was complicated by custody documentation requirements, but Osborne's team expertly guided us through each challenge. Their preparation for the Home Office interview was thorough, and they helped gather compelling evidence of our relationship despite the years apart. My son is now with me in London, attending school and adjusting wonderfully. I'm eternally grateful for Osborne's compassionate and professional service."

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about family visas and our services

While requirements vary by country, common relationship evidence includes:

  • Legal documents: Marriage certificate, civil partnership registration, joint property deeds
  • Financial evidence: Joint bank accounts, shared financial responsibilities, remittances
  • Communication history: Call logs, messages, emails showing consistent contact
  • Photographs: Together at different times and occasions, with family members
  • Travel evidence: Tickets and stamps showing visits to each other
  • Social recognition: Social media interactions, statements from friends/family
  • Cohabitation evidence: Joint utility bills, lease agreements, mail at same address

During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed checklist specific to your destination country and relationship circumstances.

Financial requirements vary significantly by country and visa category:

  • UK: Minimum income requirement of £18,600 for spouse/partner, with additional amounts for children
  • Canada: Must meet minimum necessary income (MNI) based on family size, or provide a 3-year undertaking of assistance
  • Australia: Must provide Assurance of Support (AoS) for certain family visa categories, with a bond paid to the government
  • USA: Must demonstrate income at least 125% above the Federal Poverty Guidelines based on household size

We can help assess your financial situation and provide strategies to meet these requirements, including using savings, third-party sponsors, or alternative evidence where permitted.

Processing times vary widely based on the country, visa category, and current application volumes:

  • Spouse/Partner Visas:
    • Canada: 12-16 months
    • Australia: 12-24 months
    • UK: 3-6 months (standard processing)
    • USA: 12-18 months on average
  • Parent Visas:
    • Australia (Contributory): 18-30 months
    • Australia (Non-Contributory): Several years (queue)
    • Canada (Parent/Grandparent): Varies based on annual intake
  • Child Visas: Generally 6-12 months for most countries, but can be expedited in certain circumstances

We'll provide current processing time estimates specific to your case during consultation and suggest strategies to potentially expedite the process if available.

Work and study rights for dependents vary by country and primary visa type:

  • UK: Most dependents of work visa holders and students on postgraduate courses have full work rights. Dependents of undergraduate students typically cannot work.
  • Canada: Spouses of skilled workers and full-time students can apply for open work permits. Dependent children can attend public schools without a study permit.
  • Australia: Spouse/partner dependents of most visa holders have full work rights. Dependent children typically have the same study rights as the primary visa holder.
  • USA: Varies by visa category. Some dependents (e.g., H-4 of certain H-1B holders) can apply for work authorization, while others (e.g., F-2 dependents) cannot work.

We'll explain the specific rights and limitations for your family's situation and help with any additional applications needed for work authorization.

The implications of relationship breakdown for visa status depend on several factors:

  • Stage of visa process: If still on a temporary/provisional visa, the dependent may lose their visa status unless special circumstances apply.
  • Length of relationship: Many countries have provisions for partners who have been in the relationship for a substantial period before breakdown.
  • Special circumstances: If the relationship involved domestic violence, forced marriage, or other serious circumstances, special provisions may allow the dependent to remain.
  • Children involved: Having children from the relationship may provide additional pathways to remain.

It's crucial to get legal advice specific to your situation if a relationship breaks down while on a family visa. We can provide guidance on options available in your circumstances.
