I'M APPROVED! CAN I GET A WHOMP WHOMP!!!! Ok calm down....stats. I live in Scotland and applied to the London office. My husband is Australian, we met 4 years ago in Singapore and married 2.5 years ago. A lot of our relationship was backpacking, so we have lots of travel tickets in our names. Coming back to the UK all we have in our joint names is our flat lease, council tax and bank accounts. My husband sponsored his ex partner 6 years ago on a fiancee visa, which she used for 1 month before the relationship fell apart. As soon as we were assigned a case officer, the details next to his name on the Immi Account said "approved" next to his name, so we knew he was fine to sponsor me.
