UK applicants from Amritsar
Amritsar has the densest UK diaspora links in Punjab: Southall, Gravesend and Birmingham are second homes for Majha families. Visitor applications are mostly family visits and arranged-marriage ceremonies, and the Marriage Visitor route is used here more than anywhere else in Punjab. Partner visas follow, and the evidence that decides them is the sponsor's income in the UK and proof the relationship is genuine: photographs from the Anand Karaj, the gurdwara's marriage certificate alongside the registered marriage certificate, and call logs. Amritsar also has a UKVI-approved TB test requirement for stays over six months, with clinics in the city, so student and partner applicants need not travel.
