Good Day!

I am from Pakistan and the university where I am employed is funding for PhD .I have taken admission in U.k university.But we have some family/cultural restrictions and I will be allowed to join PhD provided I will go with my husband initialy.I am highlly concerned with PhD as I know I cann't afford PhD from our own resources... We also consider family life important.


Any help/advice in this regard is appreciated as our senior who is recently back from U.K after highter studies is saying that it is possible but you need a lot documentation .I will try my best to follow the procedure... that is why I requesting to help me in this regard.I have consulted many people but not yet...


Thanks

If you are legally married, you can apply for dependent visa for your spouse. You need documents to prove your marriage is genuine and financial documents to support both of you. Contact the consulate for details.

I am gratified by your reply.Offcourse our marriage is genuine.Appologies me for not knowing what is the meaning of LEGALLY married.Do you mean our marriage is registered in court.Then I must say no as generally our marriages(Nikkah) are registered in our union councles or with the relgious person who prepare Nikkah naama(document) .Please guide me on that??

Between which consulate I must ask for details.Do you means Pakistan's consulate in Islamabad??

Legally married in immigration term means you have marriage license certified by courthouse or concerned authority, not just religious ceremony like in some countries.
