The Immigration Rules regarding a UK spouse inviting his/her/their partner to join them in the UK, have contained a financial requirement which is to be met by the Petitioner. This is the person responsible for applying for a Visa for their partner either at entry level, remaining in the UK or at the final stage of Permanent residency ( ILR).  The request can be made for a spouse partner or a dependent child. 

The requestor can be either:
